Chapter 542:
âWhere the hell is he running to?â Josue snapped back to the present, grabbing his phone to call Dewitt. âTell me his location. I will catch him this time!â
Before Raymond could intervene, Josue had already connected the call and blurted out, âBryan located Coen. You guys betterâWhat? You wonât capture him?â
Dewittâs voice, tinged with an accent, echoed on the other end of the line. âCoen is defeated. His only allies now are criminals worldwide. Weâre relying on him to draw out bigger fishâ¦â
âScrew your plans!â Josue exploded. âHe broke the law, and you know what he did to Bryan! Are you guys even human?â
Josue seethed with anger, yet Dewitt was unfazed, absorbing Josueâs outburst. Then, Dewitt spoke. âWeâve got a bead on Coenâs whereabouts. Once he leaves Linder Land, weâll follow him. Edna and I will head back then.
Do you want to see Edna before we leave?â
The mention of Edna at such a tense juncture only escalated Josueâs fury.
âSheâs in cahoots with you. Iâm done with her! You two can go to hell!â
With that, Josue slammed the phone down, his breaths short and heavy with indignation.
Bryan grasped their strategy instantly, no explanations necessary.
Their primary mission was to dismantle the criminal networks. Casualties were a lesser concern.
However, Bryan was focused on a different aimâto eliminate any potential dangers.
LÉtÑst ϲhð¶ptÑrs ιn gðªlnovеâð.ð°ð¼ðº He was determined to protect Eileen and Gabriela from ever enduring such threats, especially since there was a potent drug flowing through his veins.
He believed Coen would keep a stealthy watch over him. Regardless of whether the drug would ruin him, it could still spell trouble for Eileen.
After a moment of reflection, Bryan stood up. âLetâs head back.â
âBack to where?â Josue was quick to stand up as well. âThe doctor suggested immediate hospitalization to monitor for any adverse effects.â
Hospitalization?
Bryan knew this meant he would have to confess to Eileen about the injected drug, exposing the grim possibilities that might lie ahead for him.
Bryanâs fists tightened.
After a while, he said, âLetâs keep it under wraps for now. Just give me three days.â
Ignoring the worry that creased Josueâs features, Bryan left.
Raymond, unaware of the earlier exchange, glanced at Josue before rushing after Bryan.
âMr. Dawson, what happened to you? Why do you need observation?â Raymond asked.
âItâs nothing,â Bryan replied.
