Chapter 330

Alex didn’t ask for details. He only wanted to know Landon’s location.

Glancing back at the hotel sign, Landon provided the location to Alex.

Landon lit a cigarette after he hung up.

“Kelvin, you should head back to school. When I return, I’ll introduce you to Alex. With my

recommendation, Alex will treat you like family.”

“Thanks, Landon,” Kelvin said.

He was touched by Landon’s gesture of friendship over just a few cigarettes and drinks.

Before long, a shiny black Volkswagen pulled up by the curb.

Landon got into the car and waved to Kelvin.

“Kelvin, go on back now.”

Kelvin nodded with a smile as the car drove off.

His smile gradually faded.

“Shein went to Trodie Town. That must be his hometown, right?” Kelvin mused to himself.

It was the weekend, so Shein would likely bring Wanda along when he visited his hometown.

That meant Shein and his whole family could be in danger.

“They’re planning to kidnap Shein’s family!”

Kelvin took a deep breath, hesitating whether to inform Carlisle.

Memories of Carlisle’s treatment of him flashed through his mind. He instantly dismissed the idea.

He felt Landon was far better than Carlisle in every way.

Kelvin lit a cigarette and headed back to the hotel to sleep.

The next day, Carlisle woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. After freshening up, he called Shania to inquire about the neurosurgeon.

Shania informed him that the neurosurgeon was studying abroad and wouldn’t return until the following Wednesday.

Then, Carlisle called Lethan

As soon as the call connected, Lethan said, “I was just about to call you. What’s on your mind?”

Carlisle asked, “How will the city police handle Heath’s people?”

“I was just about to tell you,” Lethan replied.

“Most of them will be detained for 30 days, and those involved in violent acts might get three years.”

“What about Heath?” Carlisle inquired.

Lethan continued, “Heath was the instigator of the conflict. However, due to his severe injuries, he’ll be placed on probation for three months under home confinement if he wakes up.”

Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s good to hear.”

Lethan smiled and added, “It’s fortunate that Heath and his group weren’t involved in any serious criminal activities, which is why the penalties aren’t too severe. But considering the scale of this conflict, Heath naturally can’t escape the consequences as the leader.”

It was undoubtedly good news. Three months of probation meant local community supervision. Three months wouldn’t be enough time for Heath to recover fully.

After ending the call, Carlisle took Owen to the hospital to visit Heath. Owen also made a phone call to Benjamin.

When Benjamin answered, Owen heard heartbreaking cries from the other end. Owen quickly moved the phone further away.

It wasn’t until Benjamin called out for Owen that he brought the phone back to his ear.

“Go to Paper Mill Hospital. Carl and I are on our way,” Owen relayed.

“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

Benjamin hung up the phone, visibly agitated.

Then, with impatience written all over his face, he looked at the battered Hook and said menacingly, “I’ll give you one last chance.

“If you cooperate, I’ll give you some money, and you can take your family and disappear. But if you keep resisting, I’ll start cutting off your fingers!”

“Okay… I’ll talk…”

After a night of torment, Hook finally capitulated.

He weakly confessed, “I–I’m Mr. Lynch’s man.”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes.

“How many others are with you?”

“T–three…

Hook spilled everything he knew. True to his word, Benjamin gave Hook 20 thousand dollars. Before heading to the hospital, he made arrangements to deal with the other two men affiliated with Titan.

Meanwhile, Carlisle had arrived at the hospital. As he, Owen, and Francis were about to enter the elevator,

Carlisle’s phone rang.

Stopping in his tracks, Carlisle pulled out his phone. He thought to hang up when he saw the unknown number, but he pressed the answer button instead on a whim.

He brought the phone to his ear and asked, “Hello, who’s this?”

“Carl, it’s Kelvin…”
