They drove to the Cape Consortium. Wilbur and Skyler went in and headed straight to the elevator and up to Faye's office.It was Skyler's first time visiting the place, so he looked around curiously.The secretary hurriedly welcomed them into the office.Documents were piled up on her office desk as Faye was busy looking through them.She had noticed their arrival and immediately stood up. After that, the three of them sat on the sofa, with her secretary serving them drinks before exiting the office."What the hell is going on?" asked Wilbur.Faye frowned and said, "There's an issue with your one-hundred-million-dollar donation.""What happened?" he asked.She replied, "The one hundred million dollars that was retrieved by Jose Smithson, you said to donate it in the name of Cape Consortium, right?""Yeah.""I sent two guys to inspect the nearby mountainous areas. It was decided in the end that the money would be used to develop a modern primary school and a few high schools a
Wilbur frowned and asked, "Didn't you call the police?""We did." Xavi shook his head and continued, "They ran when the police arrived. The police then told us they'd investigate the whole ordeal before leaving."Skyler chuckled and said, "This place may be run-down, but the corruption runs deep.""What do you mean?" asked Wilbur.Skyler chuckled and answered, "Isn't it obvious? The local police are in cahoots with these thugs. My guess is that the initial fifty million dollars has already been used up."Wilbur said nonchalantly, "There's no one out there who can scam me of my money.""I believe that, but what are we going to do about this?" asked Skyler while rubbing his hands together.Wilbur pondered for a moment. He then said slowly, "We'll head into town tomorrow to talk to the person in charge. After that, we'll decide based on how they react. Also, regarding the people who attacked you, have you found out who they are?""We asked around, but everyone avoided the subject
"Alright, I'm checking the database right now."Beverly spoke up again after a minute had passed."Hello, Deacon Penn. According to the database, this person is named Felix Cohen. He lives in Twelven Town of the Kardon Province, located in the Treasurecove District. He's a villager in Twelven Town and is currently forty-three years old. During the age of twenty to thirty-five, he was in prison for multiple assault and robbery cases. His records have remained clean after he turned thirty-five.""Thank you, Beverly.""You're welcome, Deacon Penn. It's my duty.""Goodbye, Beverly.""I'm looking forward to receiving a call from you again. Goodbye, Deacon Penn."Wilbur hung up. Skyler asked curiously, "Who did you call?""A specialized personnel. It's totally wicked," said Wilbur.Skyler rolled his eyes as Wilbur continued, "That goatee guy is called Felix Cohen. He's a local criminal. It seems your guess was right.""Awesome. You got his name?" Skyler was indeed impressed.Wilbu
Skyler sneered coldly and said, "That must be it. It's a case of power abuse in this place. One has money, and the other has power. They cover for each other and deceive everyone in their collusion. There's not much good to be found in this corrupted town."Wilbur tossed his kitchen utensils aside and said, "Xavi, head back to rest when you guys are done eating. We'll get this issue resolved right now.""Be careful," said Xavi in a slightly worried tone.Wilbur nodded and said, "Don't worry."After that, Wilbur and Skyler got up and drove toward the town's government department.Soon, they arrived at the town hall and looked at the photos that hung from the wall.The person in charge of the town was Wyatt Malcolm. Wilbur told the front desk who he was, and the receptionist asked them to wait for a moment so that they could inform Mister Malcolm of their visit.After some time had passed, the receptionist led them to a meeting room. Wyatt appeared with his big belly while holding
They walked into the living room of the villa. It truly felt like a hidden paradise inside.The interior decor was glamorous, with a huge coffee table as the centerpiece. Two beautiful women in tight dresses were making tea, while there were another two at the door waiting to serve them.Wyatt and Felix sat next to the coffee table. The moment they sat down, they were instantly served some good tea.Felix asked in a friendly manner, "Do you have any orders, sir?""Two Cape Consortium guys came today," said Wyatt while frowning. He sipped his tea.Felix said without a care, "Let them come. This is our turf, so what do we have to be afraid of?""We should be careful. I think the new guys aren't as easy to deal with. We might have to be a little rough with them," said Wyatt.Felix was taken aback by this and asked, "Do we need to make them disappear?""No, Cape Consortium will send more people if they're gone. We might be in more trouble by then.""So what are you planning to do?
Wilbur got up, pacing around the small room as he said, "Take all of them out." "Got it. I'm going to kill Felix this very second. There's a slight issue, though. Wyatt's a member of the officials. I don't think it would look very good if I killed him, right?" said Skyler. Wilbur glared at him. "We're a law-abiding nation." Skyler said nothing. Wilbur took out his phone and made a call. A while later, Faron's voice rang through the phone. "Dude, really? Why didn't you tell me you were going out to have fun?" "Cut the crap. I've got a task for you." "Sure! Just say the word!" Faron was beside himself with excitement. "The person in charge over here at Twelven Town's a piece of shit. He pocketed the fifty million dollars we donated and had the nerve to tell us it was protection fees to pay the local hooligans. Call for a disciplinary inspection and have them send a whole team over. If you can, get Elsa to follow up with a team of Special Forces officers too. I want a thorou
Bentley said at once, "Should we just leave now? It doesn't feel very safe for us to remain here." "Don't worry. I'm going to take care of them. You have nothing to be scared of," said Wilbur. Nonetheless, Xavi and Bentley still looked extremely worried. Wilbur chuckled. "Don't be so scared. The second you get this over with, you'll be going back to a promotion." "I'm afraid I won't live to see that day," Bentley said in terror. Skyler smiled. "What the hell are you afraid of? You two work for Cape, don't you? Do you think we wouldn't be able to take on a few hooligans?" "You're right, and we wouldn't be scared if we were in Seechertown. However, we're in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by mountains. We might just die and not even know it," said Xavi. Wilbur said in a deep voice, "Relax. Someone's coming to get us tomorrow, and no one here is getting away." Neither Xavi nor Bentley knew just how powerful Wilbur actually was, but Faye had called them saying that Wil
Later that night, over at First Garden, Felix took one look at the bald man's broken leg and listened to his report. After that, he flared up in fury right away. How dare they beat his men up in his territory? That was a blatant challenge to his power, and he was going to have to take these bastards down. How else was he going to continue holding his power up? Amidst his fury, he woke Wyatt up. Wyatt was fast asleep from his fun time with the ladies and was rather annoyed to be woken up. "Do you know what time it is? Have you lost your mind?" he questioned irritably. Felix lowered his head. "Sir, one of those two bastards is a really good fighter. My men were all beaten up." "The guy was that good?" Wyatt found it to be rather unbelievable. Felix said through gritted teeth, "Yes, he was. I didn't expect this either, else I would've brought more men with me." Wyatt fell silent for a while before saying, "It looks like these guys came prepared too." "What are we going t
