Chapter 734
The Black Gang's internal chaos hit the local news fast.
"Reports say Anthony got caught embezzling. He has been removed from his position and is now scrambling to repay the embezzled funds."
"Donovan and Eli have been found incompetent, with significant errors occurring during their tenure. They are currently under investigation."
"Officially, the Black Gang is restructuring, but really, the new leader and Quillanare clashing hard."
Haley's face darkened as she watched the news.
Even as an outsider, she could feel the tension. As the leader, Ivan was at the center of the storm, and his days were likely even harder.
"Haley, I know what you're thinking," Thomas said, turning off the TV. "If Ivan had full control, I wouldn't stop you from going to him. But right now, he's making enemies left and right. About eighty percent of the gang wants him dead. If they find out you're his wife, do you know how dangerous that would be?"
Haley stayed quiet.
Even though Ivan didn't believe her, it was clear he cared about her.
If his enemies captured her, Ivan might make big sacrifices to save her.
He'd been through so much already; she couldn't let him face more trouble.
"You're right. I can't go to him now," Haley nodded. "Let's wait three days. Things should calm down, and I'll take the kids to see him."
She needed to jog Ivan's memory ASAP.
Only then could he leave the Black Gang, get out of Hinterlands, and return to Watertown for a normal life.
Thomas sighed in relief. "I've contacted a top psychologist. Next time you see him, take the psychologist along."
Haley was touched. "Thank you."
With a psychologist, they might use hypnosis to speed up Ivan's memory recovery.
Haley opened her laptop to search for more news on the Black Gang.
Meanwhile, Keith and Todd were busy too.
Since they confirmed Leonardo was their dad, they had to help him.
"Is your dad really that powerful? Then why does he need your help?" Karl asked, arms crossed. "The Black Gang's a mess, especially with Quillan. He's a real piece of work. I heard Quillan wants to marry his daughter to your dad."
Todd narrowed his eyes. "Dad wouldn't agree to that, right?"
"How would I know?" Karl said mysteriously. "But Miss Spencer is the Black Gang's top beauty. She's as stunning as your mom. With your dad's memory loss, he might really bring you a stepmom."
"Shut up!" Todd snapped. "If you're bored, take on the top three tasks on the dark web."
Karl went quiet.
He was just a doormat, called when needed, ignored when not. It was truly pitiful.
"Todd, I've hacked into the Black Gang's core military district surveillance," Keith said, fingers flying over the keyboard. "I've intercepted their meetings. Half the attendees oppose Dad's new policies. At least two officers suggested rebellion, and several high-ranking officers are already contacting external parties."
Todd's face grew serious. "So, Dad's in real danger now."
"Hinterlands isn't safe," Keith said, worried. "We need to help Dad recover his memory and get him out of here."
