Chapter 1551

"I've got a new girlfriend. We've been together three months, I'd feel awful leaving just like that." Landhor said at once, "You're right. How about this? I'll wire you a million dollars as compensation for her." "Thank you, Uncle Landhor. I'll get ready, then." "Okay." The call ended, and Landhor made another call to have someone wire a million dollars over to the account. Upon doing this, he sat back down on the couch with an ashen expression. "You're thick in the head if you think you can screw me over." … Over at the special forces' end, a few cars drove in slowly, and a lanky middle-aged man emerged from the Audi in the middle before being welcomed by Pembroke into his office. The both of them sat down, with a dozen men in black and no less than forty Special Forces officers at the door. "How's Clive?" "He's being detained, Mister Kowalt," said Pembroke. "I haven't done anything but wait for you to get here." Shane Kowalt fell silent for a beat before saying,

Shane, Pembroke, and the others were already plotting to weed out the corruption in the city using his appearance. Not long after, Shane entered the lounge with the three Nees brothers. Wilbur got up in a display of respect. Shane was a government official, and this much was necessary. Shane and Wilbur shook hands, and both parties introduced themselves briefly. The Nees brothers left knowingly after this, as they knew that they had no place in a meeting like this. "My apologies for disrupting you so late into the night, Mister Penn," said Shane. Wilbur smiled. "No worries. What is it?" Shane then told Wilbur about the relationship between Clive and Landhor as well as Clive and the Rochers, the terrible things they had done in the past years, and what Shane himself thought of it. Wilbur was stunned upon hearing all of this. He had just gotten Clive arrested for getting in the way of his work, only for such a big deal to happen out of this. According to Shane, Landho

"Well, I look forward to working with you," Wilbur said, smiling as he extended a hand. Shane shook hands with Wilbur and left. No regular person would be able to even comprehend how something so complicated had been fixed just like that. After Shane was gone, Wilbur lit a cigarette. He did not expect to get so much out of this trip. The bangle, the flying dagger, and even Rocher Corp. Rocher Corp was worth billions of dollars, and Cape had hit the jackpot. Wilbur finished his cigarette, barking out a laugh before he strolled over to his room with his hands behind his back. The Nees brothers peeked at him walking, the glee was obvious in his stance. Of course, none of the brothers knew a thing about what had just happened. Considering who Shane was and the fact that he had come here personally to talk to Wilbur, it had to be something big. Shane left the manor and got into his car, calling Pembroke up to issue a warrant for Landhor's arrest. By the time Shane

Chapter 1554

Pembroke had rushed to Clive's holding cell the second he saw Stiles' body. Things would be a lot more complicated if Clive died. Pembroke knew that Clive had been Landhor's right-hand man and had enough dirt on Landhor that Landhor would go down for good if Clive were to open his mouth. With Clive and Seamus dead, and Landhor refusing to say a word, this would quickly turn into a sticky situation. The special forces would have to release them eventually if they had no proof, as they were not the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense and thus could not do whatever they wanted. Yet upon entering the cell, Clive seemed perfectly fine. Pembroke called for a doctor to run a full body check-up on Clive, with the results being fine as well. Nothing but confused, Pembroke returned to Stiles' corpse. Shane was there too, and both of them stared at Stiles' body suspiciously. Stiles had ended his life after visiting Clive's holding cell. Even a fool would be able to ded

Sarah's bodyguards rushed into the room, but Sarah dismissed them with a hand. "Get out." "Miss Sarah," the bodyguards said feebly. Sarah glowered at them. "I told you to get the f*ck out! Didn't you hear me?" The bodyguards retreated out of the room with no other choice. Sarah stared daggers at Donna. Donna finished peeling the orange, putting a wedge into her own mouth. "So sweet." She chewed slowly, fixing Sarah with an almost serene smile. A beat later, Sarah leaned back in her bed. "Go away. I never want to see you again." "Did you forget what you'd said before?" Donna smiled. "You said that all the men in the world are garbage, and all I did was prove that statement. That was what we swore in the first place. Surely you still remember, don't you?" "Go away. I don't want to see you," Sarah said emotionlessly. Donna got to her feet with a smile. "You've changed, and so have I. Who knows which one of us will end up with Wilbur Penn, huh?" She turned away and di

The problem was that this lady was out of her mind, and a bit of a pain in the neck. Just as he was hesitating, Warner had spoken up to let her in and that was that. Warner had no choice either. She was here for Wilbur, and it would not be nice to turn her down. A while later, Donna entered wearing a tight purple dress and a vintage bag. Warner and the others' chests lurched at the sight of her, but there was nothing they could do about it. Donna looked around her upon entering, chuckling at the sight. "What a party." She headed over to Wilbur, sitting down right next to him. Wilbur huffed, and Donna looked at him. "You don't mind, do you?" "I don't." What else could he have said? Donna smiled, pouring herself a glass. "I'll drink for being late." She drained the contents of her glass in one go, refilling it another five more times before setting it down. Anyone would have collapsed after drinking that much, but Donna seemed completely fine. Everyone else, howev

Wilbur finally flared up, snatching the knife out of Donna's hands and slamming it down on the table. "Drop the act. There is absolutely nothing going on between us, and you can forget about trying to make me look bad." Donna shook her head, rushing out of the room. Her sobs could still be heard from outside. Everyone else looked at each other, unsure what to do. They dug into their food with a sudden burst of gusto, desperate to break the tension in the air. Wilbur shook his head helplessly as he sat down. "There really isn't anything going on between the both of us. I don't know what's gotten into this lady, please don't overthink it." "Of course, of course," Warner and the others scrambled to nod. Internally, however, not a single one of them believed Wilbur. As if the two of them were innocent, judging from what had just happened. Yet none of them dared to say a word. The banquet reached its end eventually, with the air growing colder by the second. Just then, Wilbu

"Okay. I'll be right there." Wilbur hung up the call and had the driver send him to the special forces headquarters. Pembroke was waiting at the door. The two men exchanged a glance, and Pembroke led Wilbur to his office. Shane was sitting inside. He shook Wilbur's hand and got straight to the point. "Clive won't talk, and Landhor's pulled a connection from the higher-ups in Northseecher. We're in a bit of a pickle." "What's the problem?" asked Wilbur. Shane frowned. "They're not saying anything. All I've gotten from Landhor is a single name and nothing else. Landhor's a state official and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has gotten involved, but that's about it. We can't do anything to him." "Who's the connection from Northseecher that he pulled? How powerful is this higher-up to put you in such a tough position?" asked Wilbur. Shane let out a sigh. "Kamal Grayson." "Huh. What does he do?" "He's the Deputy Minister of Commerce," said Shane. Wilbur

Wilbur chuckled, taking out his phone. "Would you believe me if I told you I'd be able to get Kamal to report to the Director of the Municipal Disciplinary Inspection Division on his own with just one phone call?" Landhor snorted loudly. "Who the hell do you even think you are, huh? You're full of shit." Even Shane and Pembroke found Wilbur's words a little hard to believe. Yes, Wilbur was a member of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, but how was that even possible? Wilbur calmly dialed Benjamin's number, putting the call on loudspeaker. The call connected not long after, and Benjamin's voice filled the air. "I thought you'd forgotten this old man altogether, kid." He sounded plenty annoyed. Wilbur chuckled. "Well, I remember you now, don't I? How have you been, Mister Grayson?" "My health's getting better by the day, but it's real lonely here now as I've got no one to drink with." Benjamin sounded like a petulant child throwing a tantrum. Wilbur snorte

Just like that, Wilbur and the others watch the color drain from Landhor's face. A few minutes later, Landhor lowered his head in defeat. "I'll talk. I'll tell you everything." If Kamal was doomed, there was no point in Landhor putting up a fight either. Wilbur was far too powerful. Shane and Pembroke heaved a sigh of relief at those words. If Landhor was willing to talk, Clive would hardly be a problem either. Wilbur smirked. "You idiots really had the nerve to try me, huh?" Landhor bowed his head, saying nothing. Just then, Shane said, "Please come to my office, Mister Penn. Pembroke and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will take it from here." Wilbur nodded, casting one last glance at Landhor before following Shane out of the interrogation room to Pembroke's office. They had barely sat down when Pembroke rushed into the office once more. "What's the matter? Did something else pop up again?" Shane asked urgently. Pembroke said, "It's not about
