Chapter 327-


    “There were about 80 people, I think. I was still hungover, and my brother didn’t wake me up.


    Benjamin’s <b>eyes </b>filled with tears as he pped himself hard.


    “Drinking screws everything up. I swear I’ll never drink again.”


    Carlisle sighed softly.


    “Don’t beat yourself up. Even if you hadn’t been drunk, your brother wouldn’t have taken you along.”


    Benjamin was very close to his brother, Heath.


    Knowing how dangerous it would be to confront Luke at his hideout, Heath chose to leave Benjamin behind.


    “Carlisle, I want to see my brother,” Benjamin choked out.


    He and Heath had relied on each other for years.


    During their time on the streets, Heath went hungry so Benjamin wouldn’t have to.


    His brother was his world. If Heath fell, his world would copse.


    Carlisle understood how Benjamin felt and tried tofort him,


    “Your brother just had surgery, and it’s reallyte. Let’s go see him tomorrow, okay?”


    “Thanks, Carlisle,” Benjamin said, wiping his tears.


    “Who’s managing your businesses now?”


    “My brother hired a manager. He’s been handling everything.”


    “Good. You should return and oversee things for now.”


    Carlisle stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.


    “Okay, Carlisle.”Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Benjamin stood up, ready to leave.


    Carlisle suddenly asked, “By the way, did any of the guys make it back?”


    “Yeah, about ten of them.”


    “Bring one over.”


    Carlisle wanted to understand the events.


    Heath was always very careful.


    Knowing his personality, he wouldn’t have made a move against Luke unless he was absolutely <b>sure </b><b>he </b>could pull it off.


    Deciding to take on Luke and ending up seriously Injured, with everyone else captured, didn’t add up.


    Carlisle felt there had to be more to the story.


    Benjamin pulled out his <b>phone </b><b>and </b>made a call.


    Fortunately, one of the escaped men was already outside in a car, so they didn’t have to wait long.


    Ten minutester, a burly man in a ck tank top, Hook Graham, approached.


    “Benjamin…”


    Hook stood with his hands behind his back.


    “This is Carlisle,” Benjamin said, purposely leaving out Carlisle’s rtionship with Heath.


    The fact that Carlisle was the boss <b>was </b>only known to a few of Heath’s closest confidants.


    Hook nced at Carlisle and nodded.


    “Carlisle ”


    Carlisle gestured to the couch.


    “Have a seat.”


    Hook sat but kept his head bowed.


    Carlisle furrowed his brows slightly.


    He casually asked, “Besides Luke’s men, did anyone else show up afterward?”


    Hook nodded.

    “Yeah. Titan showed up with almost a hundred guys. Luke’s crew had already surrendered, but they fought


    back when they heard Titan wasing. We were caught in the middle and took a beating!”


    Carlisle narrowed his eyes.


    Titan was also aiming to take out Luke’s operation, but he didn’t have many people in the area. This led to a standoff with Heath, with neither making the first move.


    That day, Heath acted early against Luke to settle a score with Mike. Titan seized the opportunity and brought in his men to reap the benefits.


    But how did the city police learn about it so quickly?


    Deploying 300 officers quickly indicated that they must have known about it at least an hour in advance.


    Carlisle <b>wondered </b>if it could be Jalen


    He suddenly thought of another key yer.


    Aftern’s death, Titan wasn’t the only one eyeing this prime territory. <b>Jalen </b>was also in the mix.


    Carlisle took out another cigarette, lit it, <b>and </b>looked up.


    “You can go now.”


    Hook nodded <b>and </b>left.


    “Carlisle, I’ll head out too,” Benjamin s


    “Wait a minute,” Carlisle replied.
