At that very moment...
A black Maybach appeared at the side of the road.
Carl Russo was inside the Maybach, his sideburns snowy white and his hawkish eyes glinting under the light. He was clad in a black suit and sitting in the backseat.
There were two others in the car beside him.
One of them was Yoel Lagorio, who had a well-built body, slanted eyes and an aggressive aura.
The other person was Fabian Howard, who had a stubbly chin and eyes as bright as a tiger's. He was barely five and a half feet tall, but his body was very muscular. With his tanned skin and huge muscles, he resembled a fierce tiger that could make anyone's legs turn to jelly.
The two of them were Carl's sworn brothers.
They were also Carl's eyes and ears.
Yoel squinted at the cars that zoomed past them and sneered. "Looks like we've overestimated Joseph Queen. He fell into Thomas Dunn's hands just like that!"
"Let's forget about him and move on to killing Nathan Cross. We need to avenge the Young Master and Young Mistress," Fabian said.
"Don't get too excited. The Zabinski family fell from grace precisely because they were too confident. We need to know our enemy before we make a move,” Carl said calmly.
Yoel was an arrogant man, while Fabian was hot-headed. Both of them were not of the calm type, but they respected Carl greatly.
"Yes, Big Brother!" they chorused.
"As for that rascal Joseph...he's Mr. Turner's adopted son, after all. Nathan Cross is our common enemy. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to just abandon him like that. We have Mr. Turner to answer to.” Fabian was enraged. "What? Do we have to save that good-for-nothing of a person? Disgusting!"
"Calm down, Fabian. We might be able to take down Thomas as well. Once we do that, Nathan would lose one of his righthand men," Yoel explained.
"That sounds reasonable," Carl said, smiling. "We don't even have to kill him. As long as we're able to kidnap him and lure Nathan over, we can get rid of them once and for all."
His two sworn brothers looked at him in awe. "You're so smart, Big Brother!"
