Chapter 104: Safety (II)

With the mission carried out, Arnold crossed his fingers and waited. He had called his mother lately to notify them of what was happening, and they were warned to stay indoors until the FBI arrived.

It was 23rd December already; however, when others prepared for the upcoming global celebration, Arnold was in his room with his friends, hoping that the FBI would bring his mother and siblings to Capside Centre in no time.

His plans to practice Ironskin and also teach Mark and Lila a new skill was shattered, as they couldn't even think of it at that moment.

At least, that would only be happening when the safety of Max Fury's family is guaranteed.

In the Skyboard Apartment in San Diego, California.

"We just have to stay calm; the FBI will be here soon," Anna told her children.

In the sitting room of their apartment, Anna, Audrey, and Eva sat on a couch, a look of nervousness painted on their faces.

After Arnold had told them to stay indoors since last night, they did just that. Although they had been gripped in fear, this was the least they could do to take safety measures.

"But why is brother so heartless that he wants Arnold down?" Eva, who was almost on the verge of sobbing, stared at her mother and asked.

"Honestly, I don't know... I don't really know," Anna shook her head as he responded to her daughter.

"He must be out of his mind," Nia muttered.

"Hasn't he been out of his mind? Of course, I knew a day would come when he would envy Arnold and try to take him down. After all, we aren't his family anymore," Audrey cut in and spoke with anger.

"Don't say that Audrey, he is still your brother," Anna said.

However, Audrey still kept her point of view.

"He is no longer my brother, and that's the fact!"

She stood up from the couch and angrily walked into the bedroom.

Anna and Eva only saw her walk away and exchange glances...

"She has every reason to be angry, and so do you, Eva."

Anna was a mother, and she never took issues like this too fiercely... Although she knew what Corey was capable of, it didn't seem like he could dare to kill his brother.

At the same time, he also guessed he was wrong.

He was now a gangster, and there was probably nothing he couldn't do, even to his brother.

"He is still my brother for now, but if he dares to harm brother Arnold, I would reject him just as Audrey had done," Eva said with a low tone and left the room.

No matter how she tried to act hot, her flaw always came hunting her down. Although it has decreased these days... With their brother getting rich, she had been taking good medications to evict the Asthma illness.

Anna was the only one in the living room at that moment, lost in complicated thoughts that only caused more harm to her feelings.

At a point when he was about dosing off, there was a knock on the door that jolted her awake.

Anna quickly stood up from the couch and rushed to the door. She was smart enough as a grown woman to inspect who had knocked and inquire for a speech which she got immediately.

"I'm Officer Ray, from the Chicago FBI Unit," the voice of a man likely to be in his early forties heard.

Anna also peeped from the small hole at the door to observe who was outside. Luckily, they were suspiciously FBI officers.

With a sigh, she opened the locked door slowly, trying to notice if there was anyone else not dressed in the FBI uniform.

Truth be told, she was ready to slam the door as fast as she could if she noticed any suspicious picture.

Fortunately, there was actually nothing to be afraid about. It was Indeed the FBI who had come to the apartment.

"Hello, ma'am. We were assigned to come secure and take you and your children to Chicago for safety reasons. I know you have been informed, so we shouldn't waste much time here anymore," Officer Ray said.

Anna quickly nodded and ran back into the house to summon Eva and Audrey. When they were all out, they left the apartment immediately and entered the car mainly brought for their transport.

Anna and the jet children's minds were finally at rest as the cars took off to the airport.

While they were running for safety...

It was going to be the first time they were traveling in an airplane!

"Now I don't know why they aren't here yet! Gosh!"

Arnold was already beginning to get worried as it was already getting late...

Mark and Lila insisted not to go back to their rooms just to be with him at these times.

"Just chill, bro. I'm sure they are on their way," Mark tried to make him calm down.

But it didn't seem to work at all.

"No, perhaps they have been attacked and kidnapped or something."

Due to his frustration, he didn't know when these words came out of his mouth. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Oh c'mon, Max! Don't say that!" Lila had to cut in.

[You need to be strong... You are not a teen anymore, host]

The system itself was always with him.

Arnold decided to calm down after a while, walking over to his bed to sit.

However, just as his butts bounced on the bed, his phone beeped for a call.

Beep!

"Hey, Max Fury. This is Officer Ray. Your mother and siblings have arrived at Capside Centre with us at this moment."

Hearing this notification, a smile of relief and relaxation appeared on his face, causing him inexpressible joy.

At that moment, without even informing his friends of what he had just been told, he dashed out of the room and straight to the garage of Capside Centre.

What did Mark and Lila do?

Of course, they followed him right after!
