Chapter 1037: Do You Want to Be the Third Party?

Zane replied and accompanied Yanis to finish dinner. Then, he sat with her in the living room for a while before taking her to her room. "If you need anything, just call the nanny." Yanis nodded, "I know. Go and take care of your business."

Zane looked at Yanis sitting on the bed and couldn't resist leaning down to kiss her again. Lately, Zane had been kissing her frequently, making Yanis a bit overwhelmed.

"Wait for me," Zane said.

Yanis nodded, "Okay."

Albi had been waiting at the entrance according to the agreed time. When Zane came out, Albi opened the car door for him. "Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Perry and Mr. Cooke have already gone ahead." Zane nodded and got into the car, with Albi sitting in the driver's seat.

As they drove towards the black market, Zane's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Zane answered, "What's up?"

"Aren't you coming over?" Anthony's voice came from the other end of the call.

"I'm on my way, about five or six minutes away," Zane replied.

"Hurry up, those people are preparing to leave," Anthony said in a low voice.

"Thanks, I'll be there soon," Zane replied.

After hanging up the phone, Zane looked at Albi and instructed him in a low voice, "Drive faster." Albi nodded and increased the speed.

When Albi stopped the car near the black market, Evan and Allan came over to greet them.

Zane got out of the car and walked straight inside. "Have you been here for long?"

Allan frowned while smoking, "Something's off tonight. There's barely anyone here, like ghosts."

Usually, the black market was crowded and bustling in the evening, with various people coming and going. But today, there were very few people around.

Zane scanned the surroundings, then headed towards the inside. "Anthony said those people are planning to..."

Before Zane could finish his sentence, several cars suddenly sped out from inside. The bright lights shone in their direction.

Allan raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light and muttered a curse.

As they were about to step aside to let the cars pass, they heard the roar of motorcycles coming from a nearby alley. Soon, a familiar voice echoed, "The kid is in one of the cars!" Zane immediately recognized the voice and glanced in the direction of the cars before turning and heading towards where the vehicles were stopped.

"Mr. Lawrence!" Albi saw Zane walking towards the stopped cars and couldn't help but call out, puzzled.

Zane replied, "Stop them!"

Albi hurriedly followed Zane. "Mr. Lawrence, let me drive."

Zane didn't say anything and got into the car directly.

Allan and Evan quickly followed suit, and they drove after Anthony, who was already on his motorcycle, chasing the departing cars.

As they caught up, the cars increased their speed.

Albi's driving skills were excellent. In no time, they managed to block the cars in an area with fewer vehicles.

Once the car came to a stop, Zane was the first to get out.

The people from the cars got out as Zane approached them, and they surrounded him menacingly.

Zane looked at the person in front of him with an unchanged expression on his face.

At this moment, Anthony, Allan, and Evan also arrived. However, they were clearly outnumbered.

"Oh, it's Nicholas," Allan stepped forward and recognized the person standing at the front.

The person, called Nicholas, was somewhat surprised at being recognized. He looked at Allan and squinted his eyes for a while before exclaiming, "Allan?"

Allan raised an eyebrow, "Long time no see. Why are you still causing trouble? Robbing people now?"

Nicholas smiled awkwardly, "Allan, this has nothing to do with you. Are you meddling in someone else's business?"

Allan chuckled, "You got it right. I'm meddling in this business."

Nicholas's smile stiffened, "It seems like I can't give you any face."

"No need for face, just hand over the person!" Allan retorted.

As Allan and Nicholas exchanged words, the people around Nicholas rushed at them aggressively.

Everyone present knew martial arts, so they wouldn't let the other side take advantage easily. But due to the outnumbered situation, they all sustained some injuries. Hiruma and his people arrived just in time to help them subdue Nicholas and his gang.

After the confrontation, Zane immediately checked the car. Jo was tied up with her hands and feet bound, and something was stuffed in her mouth.

Zane removed whatever was in Jo's mouth and asked, "Are you okay?"

Jo was still wary of Zane and shook her head when he inquired.

Zane didn't say anything further and untied Jo. "We'll have someone send you back later."

Jo looked at Zane and asked, "Where's my mom?"

Zane's tone was indifferent as he replied, "I don't know."

After untying her, Zane pulled Jo off the car and then turned to Albi. "Take her to replace Lisa."

Albi complied, leading Jo away. "What about you, Mr. Lawrence?"

"I'll go with Allan and the others," Zane replied.

Albi nodded and left with Jo.

Earlier, Albi had already called the police as per Zane's instructions, so they arrived shortly after the fight. After briefly understanding the situation, they took everyone involved away. Soon, only Zane, Allan, Evan, and Anthony were left.

Zane credited tonight's success to Anthony and didn't hesitate to thank him.

After glancing at Allan and Evan's faces, Anthony stepped closer to Zane and lowered his voice, "You still haven't answered my question from before when I asked on the phone." Zane looked at Anthony and carefully chose his words, "Do you want to be the third party?"

Anthony raised an eyebrow, "They offered me the opportunity. Why not take it?"

"She's pregnant."

"I know, and I'm perfectly fine with being a dad. As long as it's her," Anthony replied earnestly.

Zane looked at Anthony's serious expression and momentarily didn't know how to respond to his words.
