Rosalynn entered her room and set her suitcase down.
Soon after, Sanford and Hugh knocked on her door.
âRosalynn, letâs go grab a bite to eat.
â
Rosalynn, still anxious about Brian, had little appetite.
But mindful of the baby she carried, she joined them at the hotel restaurant and ate something.
Midway through the meal, Hughâs phone rang.
After ending the call with his subordinate, Hugh turned to Rosalynn and Sanford.
âMr.
Robles, Mrs.
Hughes, thereâs word about Mr.
Hughes.
â
Rosalynn and Sanford immediately straightened, anticipation sparking in their eyes.
âWhere is he?â
âHe might be with Leon Clifford,â Hugh replied with a hint of caution in his tone.
âLeon Clifford?â Rosalynn echoed, her voice a mix of confusion and worry.
âYes,â Hugh confirmed, âheâs the head of the Green Gang.
Let me find a photo.
â
Hughâs fingers danced across his phoneâs screen until he found what he was looking for.
He handed the phone to Sanford.
âThatâs him.
â
Sanford shifted, allowing Rosalynn to get a clear view of the screen as well.
The man in the picture was in his forties, with piercing black eyes and a stare that would chill anyone.
Rosalynnâs pupils constricted slightly as she recognized the man in the photo.
It was him!
âMr.
Robles, Leon is associated with Evanhua.
â Hugh shared, pointing to the man in the photo.
âThe original leader of this gang was not him, but he forcibly took over, establishing himself as the new ruthless leader.
In just two years, he dramatically expanded the gangâs influence, nearly surpassing Arthurâs leading gang.
This year, he and Arthur have been like two bulls in a china shop, clashing twice already as they vie for supremacy.
â
Sanford listened intently, but his attention shifted as he noticed Rosalynn looking distressed.
âRosalynn, are you alright? Do you feel unwell?â
Rosalynn shook her head.
âIâm fine.
I recognize the man in the photo.
â
Surprised, Sanford asked, âYou know him? Who is he?â
Rosalynn recounted a painful memory.
âWhen I was fourteen, I encountered human traffickers.
My life was nearly destroyed, but Brian, who was eighteen at the time, risked everything to save me.
â
She continued, âThis man, Leon, was the leader of those traffickers.
After the incident, he managed to evade capture.
The police only apprehended some of his accomplices.
It seems heâs been hiding in this area for years, which is why they couldnât find him.
