Merlin sensed that the young man must’ve been harboring some secrets. He could be crazy or strong, but even so, he still needed enough confidence. Merlin wondered why and how that young man gained the confidence to confront Xavion.To Merlin, this young man might be the breakthrough he needed for this case.Now, Merlin had a new worry. He didn’t know how to get in touch with that young man. If he approached the man without any justifiable reasons, the man would doubt his motives.When smart people sensed something was wrong, they would immediately take countermeasures and keep their guard up. If that happened, Merlin wouldn’t be able to find any breakthrough to help him with the case. While he was troubled over this matter, Christian suddenly called. Merlin didn’t hesitate to answer.On the other side, Christian cut to the chase and asked, “Lammy, do you have any new findings?”Christian didn’t sleep much last night as well. He simply couldn’t understand how and where Quinn got

Merlin said, “If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn’t she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs.”Then, he added, “Also, she didn’t leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”“That’s…” Christian couldn’t answer. Finally, he surmised, “Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?”Merlin sighed. “Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”Christian urged, “Okay, then don’t overthink anymore. I’ve just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.” Merlin laughed. “Turn the tide… I don’t think anyone can fix thi

Merlin was furious to hear his subordinate’s report. He didn’t expect to find so many corpses in New York not long after Homer and Finley’s death. To make matters worse, each of them was an influential figure.Merlin demanded, “Did forensics go too?”The subordinate answered, “Yes, they went. Even the FBI got the news and sent someone for investigation.”With a sullen face, Merlin asked grimly, “When did they die?”“Last night,” the subordinate answered immediately. “Forensics reported that they died less than eight hours ago.”“D*mn it!” Merlin roared. “The perpetrators are definitely the same people who killed Homer and Finley…”Then, he immediately ordered, “Hurry and tell them to transfer all the corpses to the morgue of the autopsy center. Don’t let any media get close, or accept any interview by the media! If anyone dares to leak out any information to the media and I catch him, I won’t spare him!”The subordinate responded in an instant. “I’ll pass the message at once!”

With a long sigh, Merlin said helplessly, “But… The impact this incident will have on the New York police will be terrible. If we announce it now, it’ll make headlines immediately. The mayor and councilors will call us in less than minutes. I wouldn’t know how to deal with it…”He added, “I know it’s impossible to hide this kind of thing. For now, I’ll have to leave the police station first. If any scandals are exposed later on, the director can explain them to the media. I’ll take this opportunity to hide. I’m retiring soon, and I can’t become a public enemy of the whole nation before I retire.” Christian replied, “That makes sense. It’d be good if you can avoid this scandal. Well, stay safe and contact me if there’s anything.”“Right.” Merlin hung up and hurriedly packed his things before hurrying out of the building. As soon as he got into the car and was about to make his way to the Fox family manor, he received a push notification from the world’s largest video platform.The

After hanging up, Merlin immediately barked at his subordinate, “Don’t go to the autopsy center anymore. Go to the Fox Group!”The subordinate asked, “Sir, why are you going to the Fox Group? They’re holding a press conference soon. Almost all the media in New York is there. If you go at this time, won’t you…”The subordinate stammered, hesitating. He was unable to finish his sentence. Merlin demanded coldly, “Won’t I what? Finish your words!”The subordinate mustered his courage and said honestly, “Won’t you… Walk right into the trap?”Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and roared, “F*ck you! I’m a policeman, not a murderer! How am I walking right into a trap?”The subordinate panicked and said anxiously, “But… The media are all waiting to interview you…”Merlin knew all too well that his subordinate was right. So many major cases happened overnight in New York, and all of them had a connection to the deaths of countless innocent women. Naturally, the reporters in New York woul

As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav

Kathleen’s loud and clear words sent the hall bursting into an uproar. Nobody expected that the Fox family would have a new chairman at such a critical moment.Most surprising of all was the fact that the new chairman was a woman. In the United States, the serious problem of patriarchal ideology was still prevalent in big families. There were many wealthy families in the United States with a net worth of more than ten billion or more. However, almost none would give the leadership position to a woman. Not only that, but Kathleen was still very young. Spencer, the previous head of the family, and Jordan, the head of the family before Spencer stood behind Kathleen in a line. Apparently, the young Kathleen wasn’t joking. With her two predecessors standing for her, it must be true that she was the leader of the Fox family’s new generation.Everyone was shocked.They simply couldn’t understand. Why would the Fox family make such a decision? It might be necessary to find someone to ta

It was extremely rare for anyone to be like Kathleen, who admitted the family’s mistake and took responsibility for them. As such, everyone pushed aside their contempt and began to concentrate on Kathleen’s next words.Kathleen continued sternly, “The reason I say that we, the Fox family, have an unshirkable responsibility is mainly because of the following.”“Firstly, we failed to educate Homer well! We failed to shape his character to be a kind person or instill healthy and good values in him. Thus, his character and his personality went into the extremes. Because of this, he brought innumerable damages to society. We must be held accountable for this!”“Secondly, the Fox family also failed to supervise Homer’s actions. There is great negligence in supervision! Homer has been committing terrible atrocities for so many years, yet we were in the dark and only discovered everything yesterday. This is the Fox family’s failure, as well as a dereliction of duty! Had we discovered this m

Zachary's voice was choking with tears. "Please, don't just see how much it actually is—the problem is that we're just amateurs and sold that bronze sculpture as a forgery. That's something we can't change…"Jacob remained brazenly stubborn. "Don't give me that crap—that's not what I'm talking about. All I ask is for you to get that bronze sculpture back. I'll send you the 300 thousand later, and I don't care about anything else. Get it done, or I'm talking to Charlie. I'll even confess that I was up to no good, but I want it back! Hell, it's not like Charlie would do anything to me even if he finds out!"Zachary really burst into tears right then, sobbing, "Please, you can't do this! Master Wade won't punish you, but he will punish me! I'm where I am today only because he put a good word in with Don Albert for me… if he knew what we were up to such treachery and flips, I'm screwed!""What treachery?!" Jacob demanded, furious. "How is this treachery?! You came up with the plan, didn

Seeing that their flight was being slowly towed toward the runway, Elaine quickly urged Jacob, "If you're calling him, do it right now! They're towing our plane to the runway, and we won't be able to call him once we take off!""Right!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly. "I'll call him right now—if he doesn't get it done, I'll tell Charlie to destroy him! He's Don Albert's henchman, and even Don Albert sucks up to Charlie. That would definitely pressure him enough!""Okay! Elaine nodded, excited too. "Then call him right now, or we might never find the buyer again!""Yeah!" Jacob promptly whipped out his phone and called Zachary.Meanwhile, Zachary had presumed that Jacob wouldn't find out before his flight took off, so he was immediately nervous when Jacob called him.His nerves aside, he was afraid to not answer at all.Who knew why Jacob was calling. It could just be a false alarm.Hence, as he answered, he feigned calmness and asked, "Hello again, Mr. President! Shouldn't your fli

In reality, Jacob wouldn't usually be this bold, but he dared to run his mouth against the air marshal because twenty million was just too much money.Money emboldens, just like alcohol—while one wouldn't even mouth off for a couple thousand, one would murder for a million.And they were talking about twenty million here!Moreover, Jacob's rightful twenty million was going to his enemy, which incensed him further!Still, Elaine's words quickly calmed him because there was no scenario in which he would come up on top if he ended up behind bars.Elaine had been imprisoned for three days and ultimately ended up leaving with a broken leg.Heaven knows what would happen if he ended up arrested for fourteen days.With that in mind, he stopped arguing with the air marshall and returned to his seat, dejected. Clenching Elaine's hand, tears of grief rolled down his cheeks as he asked feebly, "What should I do now, dear? I thought it was junk and sold it for 300 thousand but it's actual

Jacob bellowed at the middle-aged man right then, "Then don't give me shit if you can't pay up! I only have one request, and that is I want off this plane right now!"Elaine came to a realization then, and she quickly asked, "Don't tell me… That thing we just saw online… you're the one who sold it yesterday?!"Jacob was on the verge of tears as he nodded. "Yes, it was me! That's why I want it back no matter what it takes!"Elaine became anxious as well. They were talking about twenty million, after all! Even if they lived off bank interest, they could still afford to spend ten grand per day for up to eight years!How could they let that slip through their grasp?!Pointing at the air stewardess, Elaine immediately snapped, "Hey, he's talking to you! Open the door, you hear?!"While the air stewardess was unable to handle both of them at once, a young man in a white collared shirt and black pants strode over, telling Jacob and Elaine, "Sorry to interrupt, but I'm the air marshal of

Seeing that comment, Elaine promptly turned to Jacob, "Dear, I don't think they made it up. It says the antique was treated like a Renaissance forgery and sold for 300 thousand to the dealer, but it actually was medieval and sold first thing this morning."Jacob's mind seemed to fade entirely in an instant, and he dropped his glass of champagne before he knew it, wetting his trousers.Elaine quickly pulled out a towel to wipe it, exclaiming, "What's wrong?! Why did you wet your pants?!"Then, realizing that Jacob's eyes and mouth were gaping wide while he sat frozen stiff almost as if he were dead, she promptly shook him, "What's gotten into you, Jacob? Are you alright?"As Jacob came to his senses, his eyes were suddenly blood-red.Suddenly on his feet, he bellowed in fury, "Fuck! My twenty million! Open the door! Open it right now! I'm getting off this plane!"The cabin crew and the other passengers were all shocked by his sudden bellow, and Elaine was just as confused. "Your t

While Zachary was caught feeling utterly helpless, the news that Raymond had made 20 million in a day was spreading like wildfire. Even though Zachary had already threatened Mick to not spill the beans, the problem was that all of Aurous Hill's Antique Street knew that over dozens of customers had come to Raymond's shop first thing in the morning.As such, everyone was curious—Raymond had supposedly made a blunder just yesterday yet now had dozens of people going to his shop? What on earth was he pulling?Hence, when most of the other collectors started to leave after failing to get the bronze sculpture, many gossipers came up to them to ask about it.For their part, the collectors were not hiding the truth, so they gave them a summary.Soon, all the antique dealers of Aurous Hill were left pondering the meaning of their existence.After all, they were told these collectors had prepared 20 million before rushing over to Aurous Hill in the night, yet they had all failed to buy th

Zachary was instantly relieved to hear that Jacob's flight was taking off soon.The issue at hand was troublesome, but he would at least have time to come up with a plan if he was given more time.Moreover, Jacob didn't know anything and would be in Dubai in a few hours. Most importantly, he wouldn't be bothered with Aurous Hill gossip when he arrived, giving Zachary more time to deal with this mess.As such, Zachary quickly said, "Oh, nothing, Mr. President. I was just calling to check on your flight, but since you're flying now, I'm sure the air stewardess will be asking you to turn the flight mode on. I shan't be a bother now—I wish you safe travels with the missus!" Seeing how cordial Zachary was, Jacob chuckled, "How nice of you. I'll definitely get you some local souvenirs!""Oh, then allow me to thank you ahead of time, Mr. President!" Zachary exclaimed, as subservient as ever."Uh-huh," Jacob replied. "Well, I'm hanging up now. Let's catch up later.""Yes, yes, yes, let

Mr. Cardensky's forgery syndicate had made the bronze sculpture—all Zachary had done was talk Jacob into buying it, and Jacob himself had made some money after Raymond bought it.That meant the entire plot had nothing to do with Zachary as he was just a mediator at best.In other words, if the bronze sculpture was worth nothing, he didn't lose anything… although he wouldn't make a cent even if it was worth a hundred million.However, he also knew all too well what Jacob Wilson was like.In fact, in this world, he was only second to Charlie when it came to knowing what type of man Jacob Wilson really was—not even Claire or Elaine would win against them.He was a dead man.That was Zachary's immediate thought on the matter, should Jacob ever find out.After all, Jacob was precisely one of those people who didn't play by any rules—no buyer's regret? No seller's remorse? None of that applied to him.Not even the Gods could make Jacob offer a refund if he scalped them. And vice vers

As Mick Crane had established a corrupted hierarchy in Vintage Deluxe, he had to make sure his position was never threatened by Raymond Cole.That was why he wanted Raymond gone, and it was obvious from that how important self-gain was to him.However, though he plotted to protect this job with a salary of several hundred grand per annum and incentives worth just as much, he didn't think that doing so meant he had missed out on 20 million.And to add insult to injury, that 20 million had ended up in Raymond's pocket.Mick wasn't just thunderstruck—he wished he was dead.Hanging up on Trippy right then, he called Zachary directly since Zachary had told him earlier that text notifications from his number would be silenced.Zachary was just about to fall asleep when his phone began buzzing.Already annoyed when he picked up his phone, he immediately snapped at Mick when he saw who the caller was. "I told you! Text me if you have any updates, and I'll check it when I wake up! Why ar
