Blood Gang HQ
A mobile phone rang in a room and disrupted the peace and at the same time, attracted the attention of a man sitting down inelegantly on the floor.
Dan raised his head and glanced at the direction from which the phone was ringing, which was also where he had put his phone. He seemed to have thought of something as his eyes lit up brightly like there was a galaxy of stars in them and his lips also curled up as he stood up and strode in wide strides towards the locker room in a good mood.
He impatiently opened the locker and took out his phone with a smug smile on his face while inwardly praising himself for being smart enough to grab his phone before Ryan had dragged him out to train earlier. If not, wouldn't he have missed this call..
The smile on his face widened even more when he saw that it was an unsaved number.
"Hello", He answered the call with obvious delight in his voice but when he heard the other person's voice, the smile on his face immediately stiffened. This was even though he found the voice somewhat familiar but he could care less about whoever the other person was because the most important thing to him at the moment was that it wasn't her!
The voice wasn't hers!
He instantly lost interest in whoever the other person on the other side of the phone was, though he knew that not many people knew his private number but just as he planned to hang up, he heard the person say something that made a murderous aura appeared on him.
The person said, "I am your father."
A deep chilliness appeared in Dan's eyes as he thought coldly to himself, 'He really dared to call?'
His eyes flashed with a fierce with his lips curling into a vicious smirk and no hint of the usual frivolousness could be found.
Since he actually dared to call, he became curious about what he had to say which made him remain silent but his silence got misunderstood by the other party who became anxious when he said nothing.
"Son, can you make a trip over here. I have something to say to you."
But Dan seemed to have heard a joke as he scoffed to himself inwardly.
'Son?', He felt that this word was really ironic when it came put of this person's mouth. He could still remember when he had firstly been brought to that place after his mother had died, he had been filled with excitement at knowing he wouldn't become an orphan after his mother's death and had looked forward to getting along with that family.
Yet, he had been met with indifference and disregard. Sometimes, getting disregarded especially after harboring some hope was worst than being bullied and hated but thankfully he hadn't been entirely abandoned.
Thinking of the past that now seemed so far away made Dan go into a daze. It had been more than 10 years now.
He had changed and the other party had also changed.
He, the disregarded entity had become someone that the person. who had appeared very mighty and powerful to him back then had to humble himself to beg to come back to that place which had once disregarded his existence.
It was time to pay a visit to that place and see with his own eyes what had changed over the years, besides he was quite sure that this person wouldn't say anything until he went over.
Being decisive was one of Dan's strong points and since he already had a decision made in his heart, he calmly replied to the person before promptly hanging up the phone, not caring how his rude behavior would make that person feel.
...
Staring at the phone he held in his hand while listening to the dial tone, Patriarch Anderson's face was as dark as it could get.
Even the b*stard son he had never paid attention to before in the past could now brush him off? Had he, who had always be the one in power and control really fall that low?
Luke looked at his father's dark face and sinister eyes and could guess what he was thinking. After all, this was someone who had always been the one disrespecting and brushing other people aside, it must have felt terrible to be the subject of all that he had done onto others while thinking nothing of it.
Yet, he still couldn't help but feel a tinge of happiness in his heart on seeing his father suffer a loss while he better appreciated this b*stard brother he had never seen again since he left this place long ago.
However, feeling happy about it was one thing but not wanting him to ruin what seemed like their only way out was another, so he hurriedly comforted him half-heartedly.
"Father, you have to calm down. You can't be rash, not until we are able to determine what knud of person he would be, and he would stand by our side and rebel against Ryan. We have to endure everything currently until the Blood Gang is back in our hands! After that, wouldn't it be easier to take care of such a useless pawn?"
Luke spoke as if was sure of the fact that his b*stard brother would really betray Ryan. This was because in his heart, this b*stard brother of his must be feeling dissatisfied already with the fact that Ryan was the one holding true power in his hands while he could only play second fiddle.
Likewise, he scoffed at the brotherhood that many would claim they would cherish after having each other backs for years because to him, nothing was more important than power!
In front of real power, what was familial ties or whatnot? They were all useless, redundant! A living example was his father, who had abandoned his son(s) because he knew he couldn't control him, and him, who had watched indifferently and secretly added to the fire to chase his blood brother away so as not to snatch the position he coveted in his heart the most!
A despicable person would always judge people by their own standards, thinking everyone was like them. This was the case with Luke who had no bottom line and would do anything to achieve his goals.
On the other hand, Luke' words seemed to make patriarch Anderson feel better as his complexion finally turned for the better.
