Chapter 345 - A Fact
As for Leo, the man took a deep breath. At least Devan's anger has subsided a bit now. If he had allowed his cousin to continue with what he had been doing, they might have caused quite a stir in the hospital by now and had become the center of attention. Although at first Leo also felt very angry, he tried to control his emotions.
Solving one problem without causing another problem, wouldn't that be better?"
Hearing the order of the man he thought was Mr. X, Edrick immediately rose from his position. "O-Okay, sir. Immediately I will do what you say," he said then grabbed his cellphone, he intended to call Brian. In her heart, she hoped that the man had brought Dave out of Devan's apartment.
"Where do you want to go?" Devan immediately stopped Edrick when he saw the man walking towards the exit.
"I-I want to contact someone, sir. Don't worry, I won't do anything bad behind your back," replied Edrick.
"Just leave it be, Devan. This time we just trust him. As long as Dave can come back safely, so be it," Leo said approaching his cousin.
With a heavy heart, Devan let Edrick do what he wanted.
"We should sit down first, and wait here," Leo said again as he pushed Devan's body towards the sofa in the room.
As for Edrick, the man bowed respectfully then continued his steps towards the door and disappeared there.
"He wouldn't dare to do anything dangerous. He understands the current situation, especially outside there are many people we can command if he dares to put up a fight. This is a hospital, and his father is sick," said Leo to Devan. He was still trying to calm his cousin as much as possible. Currently, Leo looks wiser than usual days, no silliness and stupid behavior can be seen from him.
While Devan, the man just sighed deeply. He didn't reply to Leo's words anymore, he just kept quiet, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a flat-shaped object from it.
Right after exiting the door, Edrick's cell phone rang. Looking at the cellphone screen, Marlin's name was visible there. Immediately he answered the phone.
It turned out that Marlin wanted to say something, the man had found the identity of the woman who was with Edward.
She is the ex-future wife of Mr. Devan. The woman had shocked the virtual world a few weeks ago and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, the woman named Byanca appears again at this time and causes big problems, especially to the Javier family. All things related to Byanca he reported to Edrick without exception.
Hearing Marlin's report, Edrick clenched his fists. Turns out his father was right. She just wanted to use Edward to deal with the Smiths.
"Okay, now you go after Brian. Bring some people and help him. Tell him I ordered you," said Edrick.
"Okay sir. will immediately do according to your request," replied Marlin.
Edrick nodded, after hanging up the call with Marlin, he immediately contacted Edward as he originally intended.
"Hello," said Edrick when Brian picked up the phone.
"Hello? I haven't entered Devan's apartment yet. Edward and Byanca never left the apartment. I'm having a hard time, Edrick," Brian explained.
"Why don't you just ask me to come in? Everything will be easier than me having to wait like this," he added again complaining. At this time he had just arrived in the waterloo area because Kevin never gave him any news.
"Shut up, Brian. Let me speak first. Do you know what's going on here? the situation here is very precarious. Mr. X came and threatened me. He wanted me to bring his son here," said Edrick.
"Mr. X? Dave is Mr. X's son?" Brian asked. If so, then the man he was dealing with at that time in Indonesia was Mr. X? Devan is Mr. X? No wonder, if the man knew his adoptive father very well, not only that, but the man also gave a precise threat regarding the weakness of his family.
Now, Brian understood everything clearly. Luckily at that time, he backed off and didn't make trouble with the guy too far just because of Anna.
To be honest, he still has feelings for her. It's just that, compared to his current life, he cares more about his family, he cares more about his power than his feelings.
"Right. The two names are the same person. You know what will happen if the son gets hurt, right? Now save Dave, at any cost. But you have to be careful. Just now Marlin called me, it turns out that Byanca is Devan's ex-future wife. Knowing that they kidnapped Dave, it looks like they want to destroy Mr. Devan's marriage to the only daughter of the Smith family."
"You understand what I mean? Dad's guess was right, that woman just wanted to take advantage of Edward, Brian. You have to get rid of that woman from Edward at all costs," added Edrick again, telling a long story.
"I don't want Edward to get hurt, I don't want Edward to interfere too deeply and cause bigger problems," Edrick continued, giving Brian no chance at all to reply.
Hearing that, there was a rough sigh from the other end of the phone. That means, he must save Dave, as well as get rid of Byanca from his brother.
"Don't let Edward get hurt. Father is very worried about him," said Edrick again when he didn't get any response from his interlocutor.
"Hello...are you still there, Brian? Can you hear me? Hello?" said Edrick again.
"Yeah, I hear you. Seems like it's really hard. But okay, I'll try to do all that," Brian replied.
"Good, but right now. You have to bring Dave here, Brian. Then, you can move on to the next plan."
"Okay. You said Mr. X is there now? Then how is Father now?" Brian asked.
"Don't think about it. Dad is fine, he didn't notice Mr. X's arrival."
"Okay, then I'll turn off the phone. I saw Edward and Byanca, it looks like they want to go somewhere," Brian said.
"Okay, be careful. Don't be rash, make sure Dave's condition is okay before bringing him here," Edrick ordered his adopted brother.
And after that, the connection is lost. You could see cold sweat running down his forehead.. Even though the weather is not hot right now.
