"Mr. Lowe, this is Thunderstorm!"
"I will personally bring my men over to accept your joining. But your father cannot come with you, in case you try any tricks again. But don't worry, the headquarters is full of experts and will definitely be able to protect your father's safety. After the underground meeting is over and you cooperate well, I promise to reunite you with your father!"
Thunderstorm's tone was filled with pride and dominance.
Mason took a deep breath at his words, "Okay! I hope you keep your word!"
"Naturally! When the time comes, we'll be brothers ourselves. How could I break my promise to you? Hehe..." Thunderstorm laughed.
He had thought it through carefully by bringing his men over to attend Mason's underground meeting as a way of getting acquainted with various factions in Edoland beforehand.
Even more so, he could intimidate Henry and other forces by doing so.
Leaving Emmanuel behind at headquarters also meant that he wasn't afraid of any tricks Mason might pull during the meeting that would harm him!
Most importantly, he had already left headquarters himself; even if Black Star returned early and wanted to stop him from succeeding in Edoland later on, it would be too late for him now.
Thinking about this made Thunderstorm feel slyly pleased with himself.
He felt not only powerful but also intellectually superior beyond measure.
As someone like him who possessed such talent - why should he settle for being just a deputy hall master?
As Thunderstorm hung up the phone with Mason, his own phone rang immediately afterward. Upon glancing at the caller ID, a hint of disdain and scorn crossed his face.
"What is it, old hag?" Thunderstorm asked gruffly.
On the other end of the line was none other than Victoria.
She chuckled cautiously and inquired, "Has Mason finally caved in? I hear tonight is the deadline."
Thunderstorm and his associates from the NC Organization, including Cobra, were hoping for Mason to yield. Meanwhile, Victoria and Romeo, were eagerly awaiting Mason's surrender. Whether Mason gave in or not was crucial to their survival.
Upon hearing Victoria's question, Thunderstorm let out a cold laugh.
"He has indeed caved in, old thing. It seems your little trick with his father was quite effective! I merely put on a little show for his father, and he immediately crumbled! It seems Mason is quite the dutiful son."
At this, Victoria on the other end of the line couldn't help but reveal a touch of joy.
"Of course! That's great news. Congratulations to you and the NC Organization."
Thunderstorm's tone was laced with sarcasm as he asked, "It seems you should be congratulating yourself for preserving your life. Oh, and Emmanuel is your son, right? I tortured him, didn't I? Did that not hurt you?"
Victoria detected the mocking undertones in Thunderstorm's voice, and a flicker of humiliation and malice crossed her face. Still, she maintained a polite facade, feigning sincerity.
