A struggle flashed across Felix's face. Even though he didn't want to believe it, he had to face reality. Joyce and Luther's analysis was correct; it had to be this way. Mr. Ball's expression was even more grim than anyone else's. "No way?! Good Lord! Forget it, even if this scumbag comes back to life, this time we must make sure he dies completely. We can't let him harm anyone again. I will definitely kill him."
"But what should we do next?" Mr. Ball felt overwhelmed. "Time is running out, how can we find Seren's whereabouts? Ah, I have no idea what this scumbag is capable of doing to my sister-in-law."
Luther glanced at Mr. Ball. Mr. Ball was a figure who held power in the underworld. His influence extended to all the docks, black markets, and secret meeting places. His subordinates were spread throughout Khebury, and with a single command, he could gather tens of thousands of people in a short period. Mr. Ball had a personal grudge against the former leader of OGW. The two factions were at odds.
Mr. Ball was loyal and had helped Luther in his own affairs. Now, even Mr. Ball felt overwhelmed. It was hard to imagine the extent of Seren's influence in the past.
Unable to contain himself, Luther pounded Mr. Ball's back, urging him to stop speaking. It was clear that Felix's emotions had reached their breaking point.
Joyce also felt a sense of unease. Vicki had fallen into Cloud's hands, and they didn't have to worry about her safety. At least they were familiar with each other and had a history together. But Seren was different. They had no idea what Seren was capable of doing. Could Vicki escape unharmed?
At the moment, losing their reputation was a minor concern. The most important thing to worry about was Vicki's life.
Luther stepped forward to comfort Felix. "Don't worry, everyone is trying to come up with a plan."
Felix suddenly lost control of his emotions. He pushed Luther away and rushed towards the door.
Luther quickly grabbed hold of him and reprimanded him in a low voice. "Don't act impulsively. Even if you go out now, where can you go? Are you going to search aimlessly? It will only waste time."
Mr. Ball also approached and held onto Felix. "Mr. Saunders, I will rally all my brothers and search every corner of the city. Give me some time, and I will find your sister-in-law."
Felix pushed Mr. Ball away forcefully, his eyes losing their luster. He shouted uncontrollably, "There's no time! Don't you understand? Vicki is not alone!! She's pregnant!!! She's carrying my child!"
This was his greatest concern. If Seren found out, the child he had been hoping for for four years... He couldn't even imagine the consequences. He had already started praying in his heart because he felt so powerless at this moment.
Mr. Ball was stunned, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
His sister-in-law was pregnant at a time like this. Good Lord, he didn't know what to say. It was supposed to be a good thing, but now it had become the biggest concern.
Luther clenched his fists, his expression turning cold. He understood Felix's feelings all too well. He had experienced such anxiety and fear firsthand. Now he could empathize with Felix.
He suddenly pulled Joyce, who was pregnant, into his arms, holding her tightly. His fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Joyce sensed Luther's unease and placed her warm hand on the back of his hand, gently stroking it. She understood the dangers they had faced before, and she knew he had endured too much.
She looked into his eyes, determination shining through her gaze. No matter what, she wouldn't let him worry anymore.
Feeling her reassurance, Luther took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Felix had lost control of his emotions, and Joyce was not familiar with the past of the Saunders family. Although Mr. Ball had influence, he lacked strategic thinking. The only person who could calmly analyze the situation now was Luther.
Luther signaled for Mr. Ball to control Felix. They couldn't afford to let Felix act recklessly at a time like this.
