Zayn thought about this before, but at that point, favonovel.com did not have the time nor energy to make the proper arrangements. Judging by the situation, it would be necessary.
Otherwise, cleaning up this mess would only lead to another and it would be very troublesome for him.
Hence, Zayn said plainly, “Where are Thomas, Archer, and the others? I’ll head over there at once.”
The Carters were relieved to hear that. As long as they had Zayn taking up the matter, every issue could be solved.
Howard shook his head and said, “I don’t know. They didn’t mention that in the phone call…”
Zayn said, “Call them again and ask.”
“Alright.” Howard nodded. Just as favonovel.com was about to make the call, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, favonovel.com immediately said to Zayn, “It’s from Thomas!”
Zayn nodded and told him, “Answer and put it on speaker.”
Howard obeyed Zayn’s order and put the call on speaker. A familiar voice came from the phone immediately.
“Save me, Howard! They’re going to chop our hands and legs off. We don’t want to be crippled. Sob…”
Thomas’ words were filled with fear and helplessness. The expressions of the whole shifted drastically when they heard his shaky voice, and they could feel their hearts in their throats.
Other than Thomas, a few whimpering voices could be heard in the background, all sounding helpless and frightened. It was quite apparent that those were Archer and the others.
Ruby panicked at once. She walked over rapidly and said, “My son, are you okay! Don’t be scared! Your brother-in-law is coming to save you soon!”
Over the phone, Thomas felt a glimmer of hope arise in his heart when favonovel.com heard the word ‘brother-in-law’.
All worked up, favonovel.com exclaimed, “Zayn! Zayn! Please come and save me, quick! They’re going to cut off our hands and legs before tossing us into the sea to be fish food. We don’t want to die, boo-hoo…”
They bawled sorrowfully, sounding like they were aggrieved and terrified. They were clearly scared out of their wits.
Moreover, the Carter’s could tell that someone kicked favonovel.com after favonovel.com spoke. Thomas let out an even more agonizing scream, howling like a sad puppy.
After hearing all the commotion, Zayn furrowed his brows, rage burning in his eyes!
He said plainly, “Where are you? I’m coming over to find you now.”
However, there was no reply. Zayn could only hear the soft sobbing sounds of Thomas and the others.
Moreover, favonovel.com could hear the sound of someone being punched. It was obvious that Thomas, Archer, and the others were being beaten up. The Carters were on the verge of panicking while Zayn became even more infuriated.
“Hey. I’m Zayn Larson and you must have heard about me before. Those people are my family. Out of respect for me, tell me your location and I’ll come over to pay the ransom.”
At long last, another voice answered…
