Mo Ye and Mo Jue rushed back hurriedly. It took five days for them to travel back and forth, which was also how long it had taken for the fighting to die down. Both Mo Ye and Mo Jue were shocked when they heard the rumors saying that they ordered the attack and sold information to the Middle East countries. They reprimanded Birmingham immediately and asked him what had happened.

Birmingham was extremely speechless as he wasn’t able to find out who leaked the information. However, the Middle East countries were sure that it was people from the Mafia who had sold them the information.

The outbreak of the war had vacated territories in the Middle East. During this time, arms dealers and gangs in the Middle East began to take advantage of the fight. When Birmingham first realized that someone had framed the Mafia, he actually refused to join in, but Dana insisted that they should take action this time. Since the markets and territories of the Top Terrorist Organization had been vacated, those in the Middle East would snatch them away even if they didn’t. The consequences would be the same.

Before Mo Ye left, he didn’t expect that there would be such a serious problem, and it just had to happen during that period of time. There was no proper arrangement since he wouldn’t have guessed that this would happen. After all, he was still a man, not a god.

Since Birmingham wasn’t from the Mo family, he could not influence the people in the Elders’ Court at all. He was in charge of the daily affairs when the Mo brothers were not in, but he didn’t have to deal with the Elders’ Court. However, with such a serious problem arising, it was impossible for him to stop the people in the Elders’ Court without Mo Ye and Mo Jue present. Daiya was smart enough to know that she alone would not convince Birmingham, so she made use of her father and let him do it.

Birmingham had no choice but to watch the elders give orders in the name of Mo Ye and Mo Jue, which resulted in the situation where it became hard for Mo Ye and Mo Jue to clear their names.

They left in a hurry. For a long time, people had thought that they were orphans. Few people knew the real identity of Su Ruhua, so the Mo brothers did not want anyone to associate her with them if they were to disappear together. Hence, everybody thought that they were still in the castle, giving orders for the war.

In fact, they weren’t…

He had never thought of doing such a despicable thing. If he wanted to attack the Top Terrorist Organization, he would have already done so, given that he had collected a lot of information about them. Why would he wait until now? It was beneath his dignity to do such despicable things.

If he really wanted to compete with Chu Li and the others, he would have done it by strengthening the Mafia and becoming the leader rather than messing things up in the Middle East and hurting so many innocent people.

Even when he looked at the estimated death reports, the number of casualties, and the territory and market losses, he felt that it was cruel. Moreover, his relationship with Eleven had just begun to ease. How would he be willing to break it?

He was more unwilling than anyone else to do that. There was no connection between the Top Terrorist Organization and the Mafia. It was true that he wanted to stay with Eleven, but he also wanted the Mafia to stand tall. However, he didn’t have to destroy the Top Terrorist Organization just to become the leader.

Just by comparing what they both had in the beginning, he was still stronger than them. He was still the big boss. Because of Eleven, he had even thought of avoiding the arms market to prevent any fights with the Top Terrorist Organization.

Because arms smuggling was the most important business that kept them going.

If it was in the past, he would probably do whatever he liked and destroy the Top Terrorist Organization, as the Top Terrorist Organization had nothing to do with him. However, he now had to think otherwise because of Eleven. He didn’t want to push them away… at all.

When they got back, they could only urgently order their men to stop attacking and stop whatever they were doing. However, things had already happened and he couldn’t possibly tell Chu Li and Jason that he would give the territories back after all the damage caused.

Nobody would believe whatever he said. They would only think that he had something else in mind.

Moreover, Mo Ye would never say such things, given how arrogant he was. It was impossible for Mo Jue to care or try to explain themselves either. Mo Ye was considered relatively calm as compared to Mo Jue.

Mo Jue had always felt insecure when he was with Ye Wei. How he wished he could bring her around in his pocket and keep his sight on her. After those things happened, he only hoped for nobody but Ye Wei’s trust. He sent someone to check where Ye Wei was and went to Oman immediately without even confirming if it was true or not.

Mo Ye had once advised him not to go because he knew that Ye Wei would definitely come back to confront Mo Jue. However, Mo Jue didn’t listen to him and insisted on going. He couldn’t stop him at all.

He didn’t have the time to watch over Mo Jue as there were too many things for him to take care of. He didn’t even have time to sleep.

He had thought that Eleven might come looking for him, so he purposely announced the time and place of their meeting in a high-profile way when the major international gangs in North America sent out the invitation to him.

‘Just now…’ He was distracted, thoughts of finding her filling his mind. He looked carefully at all the people in the entertainment city, trying to spot her.

But he was disappointed.

For hours, nothing happened. It was so peaceful that he was disappointed. The excitement that he had earlier when he was waiting for her to appear had turned cold, and he lost all his patience.

He deliberately went back alone, but there was no one following him behind. Mo Ye’s heart was even colder. His calm desperation was like a layer of gauze that blinded his heart. He was in a daze all day, and he could not see clearly…

He returned to his bedroom, only to sense danger, a familiar feeling…

And…

Heart palpitations.

He could only feel those heart palpitations whenever she was close to him, like how he had felt them so intensely back then in City A. It was the reason why he was afraid that he would betray Meng Lianying, and the reason why he decided to be even crueler to her.

Her gaze of hatred and her uncontrollable impatience and depression was so obvious when they were on the island, but somehow, he had ignored them and not thought of why.

It seemed like they were never meant to be with each other. If he hadn’t met her as Anthony, she might not have spoken to him at all. It was not easy for her to reach out to him given that she had distanced herself in love. Since she had finally taken a step towards him, he had to take the remaining ninety-nine steps. No matter how hard or difficult it would be, he would run to her, take her hand, and never leave her.

He turned around suddenly, with no regard to the gun that was pointed on his waist. He hugged her into his arms aggressively even before he looked at her.

“Eleven, I missed you so much…”
