Chapter 103: Safety

This was when the main drama began. Arnold was almost going after hearing what Karl had just said, and so were his friends.

The trio couldn't believe what they just heard.

"What?! What do you mean?" Arnold sparked loudly at Karl.

"Trust me, Max. I am telling the truth," Karl said while he sobbed.

Hearing this, Arnold couldn't just figure out what to say at that moment. He was visibly dumbfounded.

"How do come to know about this?" Lila walked from behind Arnold and asked.

"I overheard his conversation with Corey when he requested a meetup with me in his room about ago. And before the Winner Takes All Match, he took me to meet Corey face-to-face."

"Trust me, he was actually working for your brother, and they are on a mission to eliminate you," Karl explained.

"Really? My own brother...?"

Of course, Arnold knew that Corey was foolish enough to abandon his family, but he couldn't believe that he could go to such a length to harm his blood.

It was as if his heart had shattered at that instant, but Arnold tried to hold himself.

"Do you know where Tristan is now?" Arnold hesitated and asked.

"No idea, please believe me!" Karl begged.

Karl's face had shown that he had nothing more to say about this case, so Arnold left him and tried to walk away. However, Mark and Lila were just going to do the work remaining.

"Stand up, you are getting arrested for conspiring with terrorists," Mark said while he grabbed Karl's hand and pulled him up.

They both forced Karl to get dressed and follow them, as they would be reporting this case to the authorities.

Arnold went straight to his room, being weighed down by this sudden issue. Now, he had a reason to get his brother arrested without even thinking twice.

"That bastard!" He clenched his fist in anger.

Placing both hands on his head, he was lost in his thoughts. After staying in his room for a while, Lila suddenly dashed in hastily.

"Jack Harris ordered for your presence," Lila spoke.

Arnold shook his head slightly and stood up from his bed and followed Lila to the office. With the stares thrown by different figures around, it was clear that the news of Corey Gallagher and Tristan Black being allies had circulated.

It seems as if everyone had known.

Arnold ignored the dashing stares and entered the office. Manager Jack Harris could be sighted at first glance, walking around the office with a look of nervousness on his face.

"How the heck is this happening for God's sake?! How?!" He shouted more frustratingly than angered.

Although Arnold didn't utter a response, his confused state could be noticed.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have signed that son of a bitch! He is a monster!"

It felt like the manager was going crazy at that moment.

"We need to act fast before they attempt any strike. We can't just keep acting like this," Lila tried to speak.

"I have to keep my mother and siblings safe first, and I have to get going," Arnold said.

However, a dark reaction came from Jack Harris.

"What? No! You can't go! They would capture you," he bellowed frustratingly with widened eyes.

"Why? Am I really that important to this company?" Arnold couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Jack Harris convinced him.

"Well, my family is so important to him. I would lose my life if I lost them," Arnold said seriously, almost leaving the manager dumbfounded.

"But..."

"If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you do the same I'm trying to do?" Arnold interrupted the middle-aged man with a question.

It took Jack Harris quite a while before he could make a response, but it only turned out that he was really hellbent on making Arnold stay.

"Please, Max Fury. I will call the FBI to go fetch your mother and siblings, you just have to stay.

Okay, this is the reason. The top shows are eying you for a deal next year and have promised to promote me to the Slamdown General Manager if the deal is successfully done. If you get killed or injured badly by your brother's men, everything will be terminated."

Jack Harris felt like falling on his knees to persuade Arnold not to go, and at a moment, Arnold's mind seemed to have relaxed a little.

Even Mark and Lila tried to advise him to stay since the FBI would be doing the job. The FBI was a skilled group of policing forces who countered criminals in the USA, and everyone knew how good they were at countering criminals.

The fact that the FBI would be doing the job made Arnold chill out. Then, after a hesitation, seeing that his friends wanted him not to go...

He also thought about it...

Then he decided to stay...

"Alright, I will stay if you really will be calling the FBI. My family are all I've got," Arnold warned.

"Absolutely, I will make sure they are safe."

Manager Jack Harris assured Arnold of his family's safety and promised to bring them to Capside Centre.

There were a lot of houses built apart from the boarding area, so it was sure that they would receive good accommodation.

That day, Arnold and friends went back to his room and rested. Although there was a flow of nervousness, they tried to believe in the FBI.

Karl was arrested by the police after being reported... And unfortunately, the news had gone through the internet before they could know it.

The fans of Max Fury suddenly caused a stir, ordering for the safety of their superstar and his family. That whole day felt like hell for Arnold, and he decided to just rest his head on a pillow...

It was certain that this Christmas was going to be his worst.

However, what he actually wanted was to see his mother and siblings with his eyes...

While he lay on his bed, thinking deeply, his phone beeped for a call.

"Max Fury, we have contacted the FBI, and they are set to carry out the mission." Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

That was Jack Harris at the other hand.
