Chapter 543 Late Night Visit

Mark slipped out the bar's back door.

The night was pitch black, and the streets were eerily quiet.

His steps were heavy, his mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts.

Dean's plan felt like a ticking time bomb, ready to blow at any moment.

Mark knew that once he got involved in this mess, it would be nearly impossible to get

out. Dean was ruthless, but also impulsive and mentally weak. If things went south, Mark might end up taking the fall.

Dean had the Lancaster family to back him up, and he could always escape to Everglade City if things got too hot.

But what about Mark?

He had spent his whole life in Emerald City. Where could he possibly run to?

Mark took a deep breath, trying to figure out his next move.

Suddenly, a light flashed behind him, followed by the blare of a car horn. He jumped like a frightened cat and quickly turned around, only to see a black sedan slowly passing by. Through the window, he could make out two stern faces.

It was Michael and Patrick!

Their gazes pierced through the night, straight into Mark's heart.

Mark's heart tightened, and he quickly turned away, trying to hide his panic and pretend he hadn't seen them.
