?Chapter 3215 How Did I End Up With A Useless Son Like You


    Ethan returned to his suite. He could not help but kick the door:


    frustration.


    His foot hurt, but the door remained unscathed, fueling his simmering anger.


    His expression darkened.


    The suite was eerily quiet as Ethan slumped onto the couch, his throbbing foot a constant reminder of the harsh reality.


    Marcos'' earlier threat rang true.


    The person he despised most in the Abaza family had just threatened him, which made Ethan feel uneasy. Even if he had to keep it from the old master, he had to inform his father.


    His father was the only one who could help him to deal with this matter.


    With that thought in mind, Ethan reached for his phone, intending to call his father. However, it rang before he could dial.


    It was a call from his father himself.


    No time to marvel at the synchronicity, Ethan answered, "Dad, I was just about to call you."


    "Shut up!" The voice on the other end of the line sounded furious.


    Ethan bit back his words.


    The tone did not bode well. He felt apprehensive and sensed that he was about to be held ountable.


    If he disclosed what happened with Gordan to them now, would he merely be scolded?


    That would be too light a punishment. His main concern was that his family could not bear the consequences.


    "Ethan, Old Master Abaza held you in such high regard and entrusted you with such an important task, yet you managed to botch it up. What were you thinking?!" His father''s voice thundered, criticizing him relentlessly.


    "How are we supposed to carry on in the Abaza family?"


    "Dad, let me exin..." Ethan''s temples throbbed. His father''s anger from the other end of the phone seemed ready to burst through.


    "Fine, exin yourself. If you can''t exin this time, I won''t be able to exin to Old Master Abaza!" Ethan''s father was angry. He had to report to the old master soon.


    However, given the situation, there was no way he could exin it to him.


    "The n wasn''t supposed to fail because I hired some of the best mercenaries internationally, so the chances f failure were almost zero."


    "I don''t want to hear this. It''s a fact that you''ve failed, no?" Ethan''s father was now standing at the door of the old master''s office. He was going to report to the old master in a moment.


    This matter was sure to be part of the report.


    He also needed to help Ethan cover up this matter. Otherwise, the old master would me their family, and they could forget about having a good life in Russia in the future.


    "Yes, it''s a failure, but there''s a reason for it. Marcos passed on a message to Luke that Matysh was about to escape from prison. Luke''s men cooperated with the police and learned about our n in advance. That''s why we failed," Ethan exined quickly.


    Ethan''s father also valued interests more than familial affection. Hence, he had to shift the me and protect his interests.


    In this family, interest was more important than anything else. Thus, he had to learn to keep his own interests.


    Ethan''s father immediately asked, "Do you have any evidence?"


    Ethan replied, "No. You need audio recordings for this stuff, but Marcos didn''t leave any. Dad, it''s impossible for me to get evidence." He felt frustrated.


    Gordan had evidence in his hands but not him!


    It was not because he was careless. Marcos was just really cunning. All it took was a slight leak to Luke and more followed naturally. In such a situation, getting evidence was challenging.


    Moreover, he had underestimated the strength of the local police and Luke''s men back then.


    He thought even if they knew the n, they were not a match for the mercenaries.


    Who would have thought Luke''s men could handle the mercenaries without involving the police, even leaving one alive for questioning? However, he was not worried that the survivor would say anything incriminating because he had not been directly involved, so it would not link back to the Abaza family.


    "You don''t have evidence, and you think the old master will believe you?" Ethan''s father suddenly felt sending Ethan to A City was a mistake.


    If he had known that Ethan was incapable, he should have just sent one of his subordinates.


    Even though it was Old Master Abaza''s decision, this incident had really disappointed him.


    "The old master will believe it because Marcos meets with Luke frequently. Even though I don''t have any audio recordings, I have evidence of their meetings," replied Ethan. Each time Marcos met Luke, he made sure someone took a photo of it.


    "Old Master Abaza may be old, but he''s not stupid. Ethan, I''ll give you one more chance. If you mess up this time, our whole family will suffer because of you," Ethan''s father said in a low voice.


    When Ethan heard that he would be given another chance, he felt a surge of excitement. "Dad, I''m listening."


    "I''m about to report to the old master. During the report, I''ll ask for another chance for you. Matysh will appeal again, and your job will be to prepare for an ambush during his next appeal."


    "Dad, that''s difficult!" Ethan was startled.


    That would be like stirring up the ho''s nest. Even if Matysh appealed again and ended up in court, the police would probably beef up, making it hard to pull off any kind of operation.


    "Is it too difficult for you to do?" Ethan''s father interrupted. "Don''t forget, you volunteered for this task the first ce. I warned you there was no turning back once you went to A City.


    "You failed this mission, and I''m giving you another chance. Now, you''re telling me that it''s too difficult? Do you know what it means for our family if this mission fails and Matysh goes to jail?"


    The man on the phone spoke stemnly, showing no mercy even though Ethan was his son.


    Being reprimanded like this, Ethan felt his anger grow, but he could only admit defeat in front his father.


    "I understand."


    "Is there anything else you''re hiding from me?" asked Ethan''s father.


    Ethan remembered Marcos'' words, which weighed on his mind.


    If he did note clean now, would Marcos inform the Russian side? He probably would.


    Marcos was not the type to sit back and wait for someone frame him.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    As Ethan thought about it, he figured it was better to confess now than let them discover his major mistake. At least, his honesty might cushion his father''s temper, who would surely find a solution.


    "There is."


    The person on the other end of the phone audibly took a deep breath. He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.


    "What else are you hiding from me?"


    Ethan spilled everything about Gordan.


    Ethan''s father erupted in curses after listening to him. "You''re a good-for-nothing!"


    Ethan remained silent.


    Seething, his father yelled, "How did I end up with a useless son like you?!"


    "Dad..."


    "Shut up!" Ethan''s father was furious. He took another deep breath. "I don''t think Marcos leaked the n to Luke. It was your mistake that led Gordan to say something to Luke!"
