THE day of the grand wedding came at last. It was held at the biggest hotel owned by Kevin's family in Beijing. The securities were tight, especially since every head of an infamous gang worldwide was present there. Even Luca, who hates big gatherings like this, made an appearance. He was beside the leader of the Yakuza, a guy in his mid-fifties, Takero Matsuyama. But Luca had to go to the stage next to Alexis Zhao, who was in his wheelchair. Luca had presented himself as Shari's father.
Every guest followed the dress code—wearing hanfu. Shari and Kevin had a traditional Chinese wedding. Every organization wore the same color, and the leader had a darker tone. Like Luca, his robe was dark blue with gold embroidery of a tiger, and his elite guards wore teal colors. Every member of the Italian Mafia could be recognized with that distinct color.
