While that was happeningâ¦
âMr. Long, I apologize but Iâve failed!â
âWhat? How did you manage to fail, Scorpion? Canât you take down a mere person like Gerald?â said Yunus through the phone, dumbfounded. He was in the washroom when he received the call from Scorpion.
âI apologize, but an expert helped him escape! If I hadnât retracted my arm in time it wouldâve been broken by now!â replied Scorpion as he held the phone with his good hand. He was making the call from inside a car.
Scorpionâs armâwhich had been placed on a flat surfaceâwas now pulsing, his tendons all protruding and red. It almost seemed like fresh worms had covered his entire arm. At the moment, he couldnât even move it.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat and he felt rather weak.
âDmn it all! That bstardâs really f*cking lucky! But either way, we already have a good start! Once the headline goes public tomorrow, heâll definitely become extremely infamous! The Owens wonât let him off easily and my family will just help them then! Itâs only a matter of them before we ruin him completely! Also, go get some rest for now, Scorpion!â said Yunus before hanging up the call.
As soon as the call ended, Yunus saw that Melissa was calling him now.
âHey Yunus? Wasnât there too much of a commotion today? You just told me to trick him and get him into the room right? I distinctly remember that you said that my cousin wouldnât suffer any losses in this.
Why did you end up doing that?â asked Melissa rather anxiously.
âWhat losses? Rosalie didnât go through any of that. She wasnât even humiliated! The most important thing is that we got the results we wanted. Isnât that what matters the most?â replied Yunus in a persuasive tone.
âHumph! How could you say she wasnât humiliated under those circumstances? She was half naked in the end! Donât forget sheâs an Owens! We need to settle this affair quickly or itâs going to be difficult to explain all this to our families!â said Melissa before sighing.
âI really regret helping you now⦠You have no idea how much trouble Iâve gone through. Iâve been accompanying and entertaining Gerald since last night you know! I was so afraid that he would refuse to attend my gathering. If he really did end up doing that, I wouldâve had to think of another way to get him to go there!â
âAlso I hope that you realize that Iâve officially offended a rich heir in Mayberry because of you. He and his sisterâs wealth isnât too far off from what the Longs have! I missed a great opportunity to befriend a rich youth because of you!â
Yunus then burst into laughter before saying, âWhat exactly are you regretting about? You have the Longs of Yanken backing you up now! Itâs like youâve just gained the most powerful and influential people on your side! Regardless of where you are in Weston, everywhere there is under the influence of my family! I hope you realize that Gerald only has influence here in Mayberry! Alright, since you helped me get Giya this time, I promise to grant you a wish too!â replied Yunus as he smiled bitterly in resignation.
Only after saying that was he able to slowly coax and pacify Melissa.
Meanwhile, Gerald had just returned to his hotel. However, there was a distinct difference now. The entire hotel had been enclosed.
Zack, Michael, and the Drake & Tyson duo were already waiting for him inside.
They had received some news regarding the incident today, which led them to pay most of their attention on it.
Initially, they had thought that the Longs would be hesitant and not daring enough to actually make a move on Gerald. It turned out, however, that everyoneâs judgment had clearly been wrong.
âWeâve caught the news director, Mr. Crawford! The f*cker was already arranging for the news headline for tomorrow at home!â said both Drake and Tyson as they rushed into the private room.
âBring him in!â said Gerald in a cold voice as he sat down on the bossâs chair.
He couldnât help it. Since Yunus had spent so much effort to frame him, he needed to tackle the news issue first. Yunusâs slander on Gerald could not be exposed under any circumstances.
âWhat are you all doing? Unhand me!â shouted a middle-aged man who was soon dragged into the room by a few bodyguards.
The man in question was the news director who had been bribed by Yunus. He went by the name of Leach.
âNice to meet you Mr. Leach. Iâm sure you already know why I brought you here today. Where are the things that your subordinates captured today?â asked Gerald.
âI have no clue what youâre hinting at, Mr. Crawford. Also if I may, youâd better reconsider what youâre doing right now! Itâs only fair, right, and proper for my subordinates to take photographs! Iâll never hand over any photographs they take regardless of what you do to me!â
