Chapter 3112
"But with the Eastern Falcon on his side, taking him down won't be easy," Ellar said, a frown creasing his brow as he voiced his concerns.
"That's only a fraction of their force. Most of their ranks haven't sided with Everett yet. We believe Everett has the Eastern Falcon's leader under his thumb, so Zane is on a mission to locate and free them," Nicole detailed.
Oh," Ellar thought aloud, "If that's the case, we might not be in such a tight spot after all."
He then turned to Patricia, adding, "Still, you need to tread carefully in your endeavors."
"Don't worry, I'm handling it," Patricia replied, her voice laced with an icy undertone.
Ellar was visibly taken aback, ending the conversation with a heavy silence.
Hey, Ellar, I caught wind you've got a cousin crashing at your place. What's up with that?" Lulu inquired, her curiosity undiminished by Nicole's briefing. The sudden mention of a cousin previously unknown piqued her interest.
"It's a bit of a saga," Ellar exhaled.
"Do tell," Lulu pressed, her interest hitting its peak.
Reluctantly, Ellar shared, My mom claims she's some distant kin, not even directly related. How does that even make her a relative?"
His expression conveyed his turmoil. "She's in town job hunting and might stick around San Joto to advance her career."
"I get it," Lulu nodded, understanding the situation. "So, she's bunking with you for the time being."
"Exactly," Ellar grimaced, "And by the looks of it, my mom's not keen on her leaving any time soon. It's gotten so bad, I've started avoiding home.
Ended up camping out in my office last night.'
"Your mom's cool with you not coming home?" Lulu frowned, implying that Emma might be orchestrating a scenario for Ellar and Doretta to get closer.
