"Bro... Brother, something... something has happened to our father." Sara was sobbing uncontrollably on the phone, her words broken and disjointed!
"Dad had an accident?" Yusuf suddenly sat up, and Ember also jumped up in alarm.
"Don’t panic, don’t panic, speak slowly. What happened? Did he get beaten up over debt again?" Yusuf urged, concerned.
"No... no... It seems like there was a burglary at the house, and he’s now in the hospital. The hospital just called me, said Dad is in surgery, I don’t know the details..." Sara cried.
"Calm down, dress quickly and wait for me at the school. I’m coming to get you." Yusuf’s face darkened. Though Felix was a notorious gambler and drinker, he wasn’t a bad person—just muddle-headed all his life. But Feliz had been good to his mother, and even to him.
Over the years, Felix had never hit or yelled at his mother, not even during arguments. Aside from his vices, he wasn’t malicious.
Although Yusuf and Felix often argued, sometimes they would sit and drink together. Yusuf particularly enjoyed listening to Felix boast when he was drunk; he was a man living in his own world.
Yusuf hung up the phone and glanced at Ember, "I have to go. Something’s happened to my dad back home."
"Uh-huh, don’t worry, don’t worry, I... I..." Ember started to become anxious as well.
"It’s okay. Go to sleep early." Yusuf stretched out his hand, caressed her face, and then turned and left.
Ember followed him out. "Be careful driving, and whatever you do... don’t do anything rash."
"Got it. Go to sleep early. Tomorrow, I’ll have Samuel send someone to find you, and from now on, don’t do anything to offend people. Discuss everything with me first."
"I understand." Ember nodded repeatedly, but by that time, Yusuf had already jumped over the wall and left.
A few minutes later, Yusuf left the neighborhood and immediately called Samuel, instructing him to go to the Garden Road police station the next day to meet with Ember and follow her instructions.
After hanging up with Samuel, Yusuf immediately called Ozzy Parham.
Ozzy was someone who rarely turned off his phone, except when the battery died. So when Yusuf called in the middle of the night, Ozzy answered at once.
"Bro, calling in the wee hours again, are you sick?" Ozzy complained on the phone.
"Cut the crap. My dad’s had an accident. You have his number, right? Go see what’s going on, whether his life is in danger. Sara and I will head back as quickly as we can."
"Ah, ah, I got it, I got it. I’ll check it out right away. Don’t worry; I’ll see what the situation is. Don’t panic." Without another word, Ozzy hung up the phone.
Ozzy knew Felix, so he had his number.
While driving northward at high speed, Yusuf’s mind gradually calmed down.
"If his life isn’t in danger, Sara doesn’t need to come back." Yusuf made the decision instantly. The school had just resumed after the Golden Week holiday, and if Sara was delayed, it would disrupt her studies. So, if Felix’s life wasn’t at risk, there was no need for her to return; he could handle the situation by himself.
Before Yusuf reached the school, Ozzy called him.
"Bro, Sara isn’t with you, is she?" Ozzy spoke in a hushed tone.
"No, she’s not. What’s up? Tell me!" Yusuf said sternly.
"Don’t panic, don’t panic," Ozzy said, "I just spoke with the doctor at the hospital, Uncle Felix is not in life-threatening condition, but it’s just that... just that..."
"Speak," Yusuf commanded loudly.
"He’s been crippled... I mean... crippled!" Ozzy seemed to struggle with the words.
"What’s ruined? Speak clearly!" Yusuf Zuck shouted angrily.
"It means someone sliced his bird and eggs, that’s what the doctor said..." Old Xu said nervously.
"Screech~" Upon hearing Old Xu’s words, Yusuf Zuck slammed on the brakes, his entire body trembling.
"Bro... bro... are you okay? Bro, are you okay?" On the phone, Old Xu, having heard the sound of the brakes, started shouting in fright.
"I’m fine." Yusuf Zuck’s eyes became frighteningly sharp. Felix Zuck had been crippled just like that? Someone cut off his bird and eggs? How deep must the hatred be?
Images of Tyler Nash flashed through Yusuf Zuck’s mind, and his first instinct was that Nash had done this, it had to be him!
So Tyler Nash had begun to take his revenge!
"Felix Zuck... Sara, yes, Sara!" When Yusuf Zuck thought up to here, the hairs on his body stood on end. The opponent had started taking revenge on him, and Felix Zuck was just the beginning. It was very possible that the next target would be Sara!
"I need to hang up now. You go to the hospital immediately and find my dad’s phone number. If Sara asks, you tell her someone got stabbed in the butt, but it’s nothing serious. Remember what I told you." Yusuf Zuck cut off the call with a snap.
At the same time, he dialed Samuel Ross again.
"Yusuf Zuck, what’s up?" Samuel Ross wasn’t annoyed by Yusuf Zuck’s call in the dead of night.
"Right now, wake Dream Morrow up, and you two head to the school immediately. From this moment on, you guys keep a close watch on Sara. Someone has started taking revenge on me. Sara’s father has had an accident, and I suspect that now Sara is also being watched. I’m afraid one guard won’t be enough!"
"Alright, alright, I’m on it, I’m on it, got it." Samuel Ross jumped in fright and immediately agreed.
Yusuf Zuck continued to drive. Tyler Nash had made his move, and the means of his opposition were unexpectedly ruthless, so now he suddenly felt that he still didn’t have enough people.
He needed top fighters, like Fleur Carson!
"Motherfucker, Fleur Carson, where the hell have you gone?" Fuming, Yusuf Zuck smacked the steering wheel and then dialed Fleur Carson’s number again.
With a "beep," Fleur Carson’s phone actually connected.
"It’s through!" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed joyfully.
After two rings, Fleur Carson’s voice came through: "How did you know I came back to the capital?" Follow current novᴇls on novel·fıre·net
"I don’t know shit. Right now, come immediately to the gate of Beiying in Haidian. I’m waiting for you here, it’s urgent!" Yusuf Zuck said bluntly.
"Received, I’ll rush over immediately!" Without saying much, Fleur Carson understood that Yusuf Zuck was a true brother and was clearly in trouble now. Therefore, without any hesitation, Fleur was ready to help through fire and water.
After hanging up with Fleur Carson, Yusuf Zuck finally breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, Fleur Carson alone was a match for Dream Morrow, Samuel Ross, and another guard combined.
It wasn’t that Fleur Carson was so powerful, but mainly because Fleur was a person who operated within the Dark World. He was very clear about tracking, counter-surveillance, ambushes, and the like. With him around, Sara’s safety could be maximized.
"We’re still short on people!" Yusuf Zuck exhaled after a moment. Even with Fleur’s return, he still felt short on top fighters around him.
You have to understand, he had offended the colossal Nash family now, and when they made their move, it would surely be thunderous. Plus, he had offended Fifth Master of Zhonghai, Brother Dao of the capital, Bud Trujillo, and others, so there were definitely many battles ahead.
He could handle himself just fine, but he feared those bastards would go after the people around him.
"You bastards, Tyler Nash, you’re not far from death now!" Yusuf Zuck’s gaze turned chillingly cold.
