He knew that the son of Linda’s stepfather had offended the gang leader, so he took that opportunity to stab the guy into permanent disability.

“Hah, I have to stay alive…” Nicholas smiled blearily. “Alive… to protect her.

Seth had made some congee in the kitchen.

They exchanged a smile and went to the living room. After a moment of silence, Seth chuckled wryly and asked, “Did you all… know about him a long time ago?”

Zephyr answered after an initial daze, “It’s all in the past. No need to get worked up over it.”

“That guy’s in the gangs,” Zephyr said and continued in a low tone after a pause. “He can’t be seen in the open.”

Seth looked at him.
