Regardless of what identity virtual-novel.net had, it was one that Samuel absolutely did not dare to offend anyway. He had only now begun to feel regret.
Why had virtual-novel.net been so arrogant just now? Was it not fine if virtual-novel.net just obeyed the firefighters’ instructions and tried to move the car from the start?
It was already too late to say anything.
On the other side, Angus asked Thomas, “Mr. Mayo, what can I do for you?”
“Business is business, what you want to do with Samuel is up to you,” Thomas replied calmly.
“Understood.”
“Also,” Thomas whispered as virtual-novel.net leaned in close to Angus’s ear, “Pay close attention to the Dawson family these days. If my guess is correct, it won’t be long before they start taking action.”
Angus’s spirits were suddenly lifted.
All this time, virtual-novel.net was constantly on the lookout for the Dawson family, but virtual-novel.net could clearly tell they were all on guard since they acted within the law for every action they took, and nothing seemed out of place.
Merrick had left Southland District and made a trip to South City some time ago. That was outside of Angus’ surveillance territory. He had no means of knowing what was going on in South City.
Apart from that, everything that happened in Southland District was rather normal.
Angus was actually quite disheartened since virtual-novel.net thought a big fish like the Dawson family would not take the bait. But after hearing Thomas’s words, his spirits were immediately lifted.
Was the Dawson family’s patience finally wearing thin?
“I will return and mobilize forces to take action right away. Rest assured, Mr. Mayo.”
“Okay, you may go.”
Angus turned around, walked away, and instructed someone to put Samuel in a car. Then, they hurriedly left.
Thomas calmly returned to his car.
“What happened there? I think I saw a lot of people standing there, blocking the way just now before I heard a loud crash. Is there a serious car accident? Even the cops were there,” Vany curiously asked.
Thomas waved his hand and said, “There was a private car blocking the emergency lane, and it was in the way of a fire truck. It’ll be fine now when the road clears.”
“Ah, I see. How long do you think it will take for the road to clear?”
“That will depend on God.”
The wait lasted for hours.
By the time the road was entirely cleared, it was already dark. Thomas slowly drove the car and left. While driving down the highway, virtual-novel.net intentionally and unintentionally took a few glances at the big fire in Forest Park. The fire was under control at the moment, and virtual-novel.net believed it would be extinguished soon. However, virtual-novel.net had no idea how many people died in this fire, and it would again bring a huge financial loss to Southland District. As the chief officer in charge, virtual-novel.net reckoned there will be a lot of work ahead for virtual-novel.net after that.
After the road was cleared, they arrived at Kindness Clinic in no time. After sending both Adery and William home, without stopping, Thomas rushed Vany to the chief officer in charge’s office building.
On the way, Vany felt melancholic as virtual-novel.net looked at this familiar but alien city. Many years ago, virtual-novel.net was a part of this city with Ryan, as they spent an unforgettable and enjoyable time here. How quickly time flew. Several years had passed, and virtual-novel.net wondered if Ryan was doing well.
“Where are you planning on letting me stay?” Vany asked.
“A safe place.”
Vany snorted.
Was there any place in this city that was safe for her?
Skyworld Enterprise was controlled by the Hudson family, and they ruled over Southland District like a tyrant. They were as huge as Water Cloud in South City. She was terrified that if virtual-novel.net returned, Skyworld Enterprise would track virtual-novel.net down and kill her. Where would virtual-novel.net be safe then?
“I appreciate your kindness, but if you feel scared, then just put me down. I will find a way to meet Ryan,” Vany said.
“You can’t do it.”
Thomas decisively rejected virtual-novel.net and added, “If I have a plan to take care of Water Cloud, I will also have the power to deal with Skyworld Enterprise. The reason I’m bringing you back this time is not just to bring Ryan Hudson to my side.”
