[Glen’s perspective.]

“Don’t be careless. After all, they’re a gang that has existed for many years, and they have many tricks up their sleeves! During this period of time, you should go to Santa Marta and stay as far away from Bayx Harbor as possible. If nothing goes wrong, they’ll search for you in that area.”

When facing Jenny’s disapproval, I actually felt that things would not be that simple. Otherwise, King would not have repeatedly told us to be careful of their leader, Adolf Abbott.

“Are you saying that they’ll think that I’ll leave using water transport? Hahaha! They’re really stupid to the point that they’re worse than pigs! I’ve already prepared an escape route for myself.” Jenny laughed loudly at them.

“I know that you’re good, but I’m also very worried about your safety, my dear!”After extinguishing the cigarette, I reached out and hugged her in my arms. Feeling the delicate fragrance of the soft jade in my arms, I sighed slightly at her neck.

“I know! By the way, what mission did King give you?” Jenny seemed to be shocked by my sudden action as she hugged my waist and asked.

“The Burgert family is planning to arrange a sniper and a bomb to kill King at Helen Bridge tomorrow. Ha! Those Burgert family members have been blocking King’s path for a long time. In addition, the people of that family are arrogant and stupid. They have fought with us many times for territory, business, gambling, weapons, alcohol, drugs, and women.”

“If they behave themselves, it’s not like we can’t cooperate with them. However, their family’s business is a huge mess. The crux of the matter is that these b*stards are still instigating the people who have business with us behind our backs, causing trouble for King, finding fault with him, and trying to get rid of King. These cockroaches even almost succeeded once. When King returned that day, his was covered in injuries. After listening to King’s explanation, he said that they were hired by more than one group of people. However, most of them were definitely sent by the Burgert family.

“No man would tolerate b*stards that challenge his bottom line, not to mention a group of b*stards that is blocked his path. Almost all the members of the family had offended King. Hence, King decided to kill all of them tonight. It just so happens that tonight is the Burgert family’s gathering. Most of the people will be there, so it’s convenient for us to kill them all at the same time.

“On the other side, we still need some people to go to the Helen Bridge to kill those snipers and defuse those bombs,” I said while playing with my girlfriend’s hair. My tone kept changing.

“I’ll go! My dear, Helen Bridge is at Santa Marta anyway! I’ll be fine. Trust me.” Seeing her determination, I could only leave everything to her and agree to let her go.

The sky gradually darkened, and the temperature gradually dropped. I waited beside the car with my brothers, who were ready to leave, for King to come down.

“Let’s go!” After King gave the order, the car sped off at lightning speed. Seven cars sped along the highway. The sound of the engine was so loud. The neon lights, street lights, and car lights outside were so blurry. We drove toward the edge of the city.

When I looked at the brightly lit and bustling villa outside the gate, I heard King say casually, “What day is it today? Why is it so lively there?”

“Today’s the Burgert family’s annual family gathering, sir,” I replied seriously.

After a moment of chaos, I was dealing with the aftermath with my men when I suddenly received a call from King. “Glen, I’ll give you five minutes to immediately send an ambulance over.”

King’s voice on the other end of the phone was trembling and panicking. It was as if something had happened that made him extremely afraid. His usual domineering aura was no longer there. He became very anxious, nothing like the calm man that he was.

Although I was very curious about who on the other end of the phone had such great ability to affect this man, I still quickly called the hospital so that they could send an ambulance over. I even asked them to send an ambulance to this location on the outskirts of the city within five minutes.

When the doctor carried her into the ambulance, I realized it was the little girl that King had placed in the photo frame on his desk. She was the person he had wanted to protect for five years no matter what. However, what surprised him was that she was from the Burgert family.

The beeping sound of the ambulance filled his eardrums, and the hospital was filled with the wails of the patients’ families and the pungent smell of disinfectant. In the public seat in the corner outside the emergency room, King sat there dejectedly and anxiously. He held his hand together and prayed. “We must make sure that the little girl in the emergency room is safe.”

I sat on the seat not far away, and it would be a lie to say that I did not feel uncomfortable looking at the man like this. After all, brothers who had been together for a long time would naturally develop feelings for each other.

However, this was the first time I had seen him like this after being by this man’s side for so long! Anxious. Dispirited. Irritable. Uneasy. All sorts of negative emotions came to him together at the same time. It was as if he was a completely different person from the usual arrogant, domineering, and cold-hearted man.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that he was also an ordinary person. He was no god. He would also have troubles and also have his own weaknesses.
