Semua Bab Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Why was he here?!Portly, one of Winston's guys and a runaway, was not with Winston just a moment ago. Now, he was rushing at them with a knife! The knife's point was so close, and Zara's first thought was to shove Yosef out of the way before backing away herself. Yosef seemed to have guessed what she was planning. He grabbed her hand and yanked her behind him. Then, he tried to kick the knife out of Portly's hand. They were too close, and it all happened too fast. The kick was not done at the right angle, and the knife only moved a tiny bit. Portly went crazy, slashing his knife all over the place! In a split second, Zara saw the knife plunging into Yosef's side! Her eyes widened in shock as Portly pulled the knife out. He was not done yet. Zara acted fast. She swung her bag with its metal decorations straight at Portly's face!The hit made Portly grab his face, slowing him down just enough for Yosef to kick him away and for the bodyguards to jump in.Portly could not get to

Yosef's face stiffened. "You saved me just to get rid of those photos?""Why else would I do that?" Zara was worried Yosef might not keep his promise. "You wouldn't forget a favor, right?"Yosef let out a huff, his expression growing cold. He turned away from her and held his belly where it hurt. "Just sit tight. After you're out of here, I'll take care of it."Even though she only had to be in the hospital for two days, the thought of being in the same ward with Yosef for 48 hours straight made Zara really uneasy.She even considered asking the nurse if she could leave today.Seemingly reading her mind, Yosef said in a chilly voice, "Most of our team is here. You want to walk out alone and be an easy mark for Winston?"Zara bit her lip, feeling frustrated. She eventually dropped the idea.The mention of Winston made her anxious again. "That hand... Is it from the missing body?"Yosef closed his eyes and nodded.Zara's face went white. "The police dogs searched the entire Apri

Yosef did not pick up. He hung up and texted: [What's up?]Ophite was not hurt and had been taking care of some business. He had just left the police station.Winston claimed he was just casual buddies with Portly and Lanky and had not been in touch with them for ages. He also said he had no clue why they would do such a thing. Hearing what Ophite told him, Yosef chuckled. "Yeah, right."Everyone knew Winston was fibbing. The real snag was the lack of hard proof that Winston was the one pulling the strings. With nothing to pin on him, the police had to let him go. Ophite said, "Yosef, this guy might not seem like much, but he's trickier than we thought.""He's good with dogs," Yosef noted. "Even the undercover police officer saw it.""He said he just whistled for fun, that it wasn't meant for the dogs. He's not from Apricot Village, and those are Apricot Village's mutts. They naturally wouldn't listen to him. "He's doing everything to wash his hands of it. Right now, we real

Zara burst into a giggle. "I'm not a fan of candy. Does chocolate work just the same?"Yosef chuckled.Stanley paused and then called out, "Zara.""I've told you over and over, I'm okay. Why won't you believe me, Professor Schmidt? It's like you want something to be wrong." Zara paused, thinking for a moment. She continued, "Should I make a vow? To prove I'm alright?"She did not want to spill the beans, and Stanley was at a loss.Zara then shooed him off to check on Melanie.Stanley held his ground for a few minutes but finally let out a sigh and stood up."I'll bring dinner for you tonight. Chocolate, right? I'll bring that too.""Thanks."The moment Stanley left the ward, his warm smile vanished. It was replaced by a cold, serious look.Yosef, relaxing against the headboard with a smirk, seemed in high spirits as he eyed Zara. "Why not ask Professor Schmidt for help? Think he can't do anything? Or scared he'll learn about our past?""It was neither," Zara replied, lying b

Winston tried to stand up, but Nord slammed his foot onto Winston's chest. Winston winced in pain, feeling like his ribs were cracking.Winston gasped. "You... You should at least tell me your names if you're going to be so bold!"Stanley spoke in an even tone, propping the steel pipe against a rock. "Do you think you can just do whatever you want because you've been in charge for too long?""You're like a frog in a well, thinking you own the whole sky. You think you can do anything and mess with anyone. You don't know how small you really are."Winston felt a chill. The man speaking so calmly was scarier than the one standing on him.His face went white, and his voice shook. "If you... If you dare hurt me, I swear you'll regret ever being born!"Nord shoved Winston's leg into the sharp angle where a steel pipe met a stone. Without a second thought, Stanley stepped down hard on the pipe. With a terrible crunch, Winston's shinbone snapped, and his screams filled the alley.Stanle
