23 Chapter ２３

Taking a deep breath, Allen came to the stairs and answered the phone.

"Allen, it's me!" came a voice that I hadn't heard for a long time. Hearing the familiar voice in his memory, Allen felt a lot of emotion and said slowly, "Dad, long time no see!"

Zach Peterson was also silent for a few seconds, and then he said in a deep voice. "Allen, I know you have suffered a lot these years, but I can't help it. As a man of our Peterson family, you should bear these."

Allen nodded. "Dad, I understand!"

"If you understand, come back now! The family needs to evaluate your performance in this period of time!" Zach said.

Hearing this, Allen shook his head. "No, I can't go back now!"

"Why?" Zach was stunned.

"Just yesterday, someone tried to assassinate me! And according to my investigation, the assassin came from the capital, so... I can't go back!" Allen said in a deep voice.
