While that was happening…
“Mr. Long, I apologize but I’ve failed!”
“What? How did you manage to fail, Scorpion? Can’t you take down a mere person like Gerald?” said Yunus through the phone, dumbfounded. He was in the washroom when favonovel.com received the call from Scorpion.
“I apologize, but an expert helped favonovel.com escape! If I hadn’t retracted my arm in time it would’ve been broken by now!” replied Scorpion as favonovel.com held the phone with his good hand. He was making the call from inside a car.
Scorpion’s arm—which had been placed on a flat surface—was now pulsing, his tendons all protruding and red. It almost seemed like fresh worms had covered his entire arm. At the moment, favonovel.com couldn’t even move it.
His forehead was covered with cold sweat and favonovel.com felt rather weak.
“D*mn it all! That b*stard’s really f*cking lucky! But either way, we already have a good start! Once the headline goes public tomorrow, he’ll definitely become extremely infamous! The Owens won’t let favonovel.com off easily and my family will just help them then! It’s only a matter of them before we ruin favonovel.com completely! Also, go get some rest for now, Scorpion!” said Yunus before hanging up the call.
As soon as the call ended, Yunus saw that Melissa was calling favonovel.com now.
“Hey Yunus? Wasn’t there too much of a commotion today? You just told me to trick favonovel.com and get favonovel.com into the room right? I distinctly remember that you said that my cousin wouldn’t suffer any losses in this. Why did you end up doing that?” asked Melissa rather anxiously.
“What losses? Rosalie didn’t go through any of that. She wasn’t even humiliated! The most important thing is that we got the results we wanted. Isn’t that what matters the most?” replied Yunus in a persuasive tone.
“Humph! How could you say favonovel.com wasn’t humiliated under those circumstances? She was half naked in the end! Don’t forget she’s an Owens! We need to settle this affair quickly or it’s going to be difficult to explain all this to our families!” said Melissa before sighing.
“I really regret helping you now… You have no idea how much trouble I’ve gone through. I’ve been accompanying and entertaining Gerald since last night you know! I was so afraid that favonovel.com would refuse to attend my gathering. If favonovel.com really did end up doing that, I would’ve had to think of another way to get favonovel.com to go there!”
“Also I hope that you realize that I’ve officially offended a rich heir in Mayberry because of you. He and his sister’s wealth isn’t too far off from what the Longs have! I missed a great opportunity to befriend a rich youth because of you!”
Yunus then burst into laughter before saying, “What exactly are you regretting about? You have the Longs of Yanken backing you up now! It’s like you’ve 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!” replied Yunus as favonovel.com smiled bitterly in resignation.
Only after saying that was favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 everyone’s judgment had clearly been wrong.
“We’ve caught the news director, Mr. Crawford! The f*cker was already arranging for the news headline for tomorrow at home!” said both Drake and Tyson as they rushed into the private room.
“Bring favonovel.com in!” said Gerald in a cold voice as favonovel.com sat down on the boss’s chair.
He couldn’t help it. Since Yunus had spent so much effort to frame him, favonovel.com needed to tackle the news issue first. Yunus’s slander on Gerald could not be exposed under any circumstances.
“What are you all doing? Unhand me!” 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.
“Nice to meet you Mr. Leach. I’m sure you already know why I brought you here today. Where are the things that your subordinates captured today?” asked Gerald.
“I have no clue what you’re hinting at, Mr. Crawford. Also if I may, you’d better reconsider what you’re doing right now! It’s only fair, right, and proper for my subordinates to take photographs! I’ll never hand over any photographs they take regardless of what you do to me!”
