After Marcos gave his report, the elderly voice that came from the other end of the line
said, "You're in charge of helping him escape."
Marcos was not surprised when he listened to the aged and serious voice.
The entire family showed Matysh understanding and forgiveness. The reason was that
Matysh was Old Master Abaza's only son. Now that the old master only had him left, he
would support whatever Matysh did.
As for Marcos, the old master never liked him because he carried the blood of an ordinary
woman.
Marcos lowered his gaze and replied, "Grandpa, although M Group has never ventured into
the market of A City, I found out that the market in A City is massive after several rounds
of assessments. If M Group can enter A City's market, the family's business will become
larger and larger. The Russian market is already saturated. We need to explore new
markets. But if I help Uncle Matysh, I'm afraid we might end up on A City's blacklist."
He knew that some members of the family always held discriminatory views based on
ethnicity, and they looked down on people from A City.
Nevertheless, the growth of A City's economy was an indisputable fact. That was why the
elders of the family were considering developing the market here.
According to the old master's usual approach, outsiders would not be included when it
came to market development.
His grandson, Marcos, was a useful tool in this regard.
Marcos had always known that. Hence, he ensnared the old master by leveraging this
justification.
Help Matysh escape? There was no way Marcos would do such a thing.
Moreover, Matysh had a grudge against him!
There was a moment of silence. The old master did have intentions of entering A City's
market, and he intended to delegate this task to Marcos.
After all, Marcos was the most manageable person in the whole family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe plan was to let Marcos expand the family business and hand it over to Matysh.
Hence, what Marcos said now made sense to the old master.
He said, "I'll arrange for Ethan to handle this. I heard you're on good terms with Luke
Crawford now?"
Marcos understood the implication in his words and replied, "He's merely M Group's
business partner. I'm just maintaining a surface-level relationship. Grandpa, everything I
do is for the benefit of the family."
"It's best if you know this. You don't have to be involved in Matysh's affairs. Come back
after you've done the market research,” said the old master, not forgetting to give him a
piece of advice.
"Alright," replied Marcos.
After ending the call, Marcos bent down and got into the car parked nearby.
Ethan sat next to him. Since the car was a distance away and Marcos had been speaking
quietly on the phone, Ethan did not know who Marcos had been talking to or what he had
said.
If it were someone else in the family, Ethan certainly would not dare to ask.
However, it was only Marcos. Therefore, he asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"
"Grandpa." Marcos looked at his phone and answered slowly.
Ethan frowned. What was the purpose of Marcos calling the old master at this moment?
Was Marcos reporting that he was not handling things well?
Ethan's nerves immediately tensed up at the thought of this. Then, he questioned, "What
did you say to Old Master Abaza?"
Marcos lifted his head and noticed how nervous Ethan was. A hint of mockery flashed
across his eyes. Marcos did not tease him. He answered his question, "Nothing much. I just
told Grandpa that Uncle Matysh wants to escape from prison."
The interpreter who was with them was not in the car, and the chauffeur could not
understand Russian. Marcos just went ahead and said it.
Ethan, however, was taken aback and almost leaped out of his seat. "What did you say?"
His eyes widened, thinking that he must have heard it wrong.
"Uncle Matysh doesn't trust the lawyer you found and wants to escape during the trial,"
repeated Marcos.
"He's gone mad, absolutely mad," Ethan blurted out instinctively. Then, he quickly pursed
his lips, realizing that he had said something he should not have in front of Marcos.
Marcos nodded and replied, "Yes, he's gone mad."
Ethan stared at him.
"Grandpa told us that we can't let him go to jail. So, the task of helping him escape will fall
on you," Marcos conveyed the old man's intention.
"But..." Ethan's eyes widened. He had used such methods to help many wealthy people
get out of trouble, but they were not in Russia. They were in A City...
Could Matysh escape that easily?
Matysh would not be in the detention center now if it were that easy.
"You take care of things that come next," said Marcos. He picked up the communicator
next to him and spoke to the chauffeur in English, "Drive back to the hotel."
The chauffeur received the instruction and slowly drove away.
"If I'm taking care of things, what are you going to do?" asked Ethan. He refused to believe
that it was Matysh's idea.
He figured that Matysh wanted to talk to Marcos about this matter when he told them to
leave earlier. Hence, Matysh's original plan was for Marcos to take care of this matter.
After all, it was unlikely for Ethan to handle this.
"Why do I need to report to you on what I'm doing?" Marcos' eyes darkened.
Ethan did not have the power to control him yet.
Ethan narrowed his eyes and said, "It was initially your job to handle this, right? What did
you tell your grandfather? Why am I suddenly the one responsible for making the
arrangements?”
He was just a lawyer. Even though he did everything he could to win cases in Russia, he
was only a lawyer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFurthermore, he counted on the support of the influence behind him. Those people would
not dare to lay a hand on him even if things went south.
However, this was A City!
It was extremely difficult to smuggle in firearms, let alone mercenaries and others.
Moreover, if the mission failed and Matysh was sent back to prison, Ethan could also end
up there.
There was no one here who could be his pillar of support. That was why Ethan did not
want to get involved in such matters.
"The Abaza family is planning to expand their business in A City. I'm in charge of this, so
my hands need to stay clean. I can't get involved in that kind of thing." Marcos was too
lazy to explain to him. He remained completely unfazed deep within when he heard the
despair in Ethan's tone.
Previously, Ethan's father took part in a fair share of things related to his mother's
circumstances.
Otherwise, his mother would not have been left with nothing and forced to escape to A
City. Even though she was a top student at a prestigious university, she ended up in the
outskirts, taking on odd jobs to make a living.
Marcos clenched his fist when he thought of what Sarah had gone through.
If the family had not been so ruthless, Sarah could have lived a good life through her skills
and talents even after she left the family.
Ethan found himself at a loss for words. He was well aware of the plan to venture into A
City's market.
Marcos added, "Mr. Ethan, didn't you handle such matters in Russia? As far as I know, two
wealthy men managed to successfully escape prison and flee overseas with your help. So,
when it comes to this sort of thing, you have more experience than I do."
Among Russia's prominent families, there were very few that were entirely clean.
Their family might not have direct ties to the underground forces in Russia on the surface,
but they had been secretly involved in a lot of shady activities.
Marcos was the only one who had consistently adhered to his principles, never engaging
in such activities.
As a result, Matysh had an even lower opinion of him. He always thought that Marcos
dared not get involved because he was a coward.
