Besides, he was now a businessman with money.With money and men, he had more power.However, a top-tier big shot like that was killed in his own territory.The youth with a baseball bat took a deep breath and asked with eyes wide open.'What's going on here?'"Who else in River City's underworld would take a shot at Charles but us?"No one answered.It was because no one else dared to do so.Their power had always been a rival to Charles'.The rest of the underworld were no match to them.There were no other small gangs that would dare to face Charles.Then who did it?The youth with a baseball bat pondered for a few seconds before they found the informant they set up at Charles' place to find out what had happened."What did you say? That cripple?"A cripple who single-handedly knocked over so many people and killed Charles on the spot?"The youth with a baseball bat widened his eyes with shock on his face.Seeing this informant nod, the shock the youth felt increased

"Go ahead."Sean nodded."It's just that... Quill booked the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel..."He said he's making a grand confession to some girl..."Willow spoke slowly as she observed Sean's expression.She did not want to tell Sean about it, lest he felt bad.However, she felt that Sean deserved an explanation.Otherwise, Sean would find out about it sooner or later since he had been going out a lot lately.When that happened, Sean would probably only feel worse."He's not confessing to you, is he?"Sean looked up slowly and asked with a smile.He was not angry at all.Willow looked at Sean in confusion and asked, "Aren't... aren't you mad?"Sean shook his head slightly and asked, "Would lions care about worms?"Even though Quill was the heir of the Zimmer family of River City, he was still a worm to Sean.Willow only thought Sean was bluffing when she heard him say that."I don't want it..."But he has helped the Quinn family a lot. Grandma and the other is gonn

About ten or more fully suited men in black marched in with sunglasses on.They looked formidable and intimidating.After they had entered, they split themselves into two rows immediately, as if they were waiting to welcome a certain VIP.The government officer who was interrogating Sean Lennon frowned and barked.“Who are you?”“Hmph!”A huff was heard from outside the door.Immediately, a crisp clack sound of high heels walking on the ground was heard before anyone could be seen.An about-thirty-year-old lady walked in from the outside.She wore lots of jewelry and was donned in luxurious branded articles of clothing.Her style was also on the more provocative side as she sported a deep V top, looking extremely sexy.“Madam Yates? You’re here too?”The government officer asked.“Hah! My husband was cruelly murdered. Of course I’d want to see who the murderer is!”Joey Yates huffed coldly once more, arrogance evident on her face.Sean glanced at Joey and instantly under

“Cough, please be silent.“Sean Lennon, where were you from 11 pm to 12 am yesterday?”A middle-aged man asked Sean.“Excel Casino.”Sean answered truthfully.“What were you doing there?”The middle-aged man continued to ask without giving Sean any extra time to think.“I want more money to spend, so I was there to try my luck.”Sean answered so smoothly without an ounce of hesitation.“Excel Casino was closed yesterday. What luck were you trying, then?”The middle-aged man frowned as he asked once more.“That’s why I went back.”Sean was still answering nonchalantly.The middle-aged man frowned and looked intently at Sean for a few seconds.He was a little surprised at how calm Sean was.“Charles, the deceased was killed at the same time when you were at the casino.“You’re the biggest suspect right now.“How do you plan on explaining regarding this matter?”The middle-aged man frowned once more as he subtly turned on the recording device.“No explanation.”Sean wa

Once he saw who was the person that had just walked in, Hayden Luke frowned.This middle-aged man was the person in charge of the current government facility that they were in.All the staff there were also directly under his jurisdiction.There were some past grudges between Hayden and him, and that was why they were unfriendly towards each other.“I and you, Mr. Luke are not from the same area of jurisdiction.“For you to come all the way here, Mr. Luke, perhaps you’re sticking your nose into something that’s too far off from your own business now?“Or did you think you’re a part of the CIA, Mr. Luke?”The middle-aged man looked at Hayden and spoke softly.What he said made Hayden simmer with rage.However, he could not utter a single word in reply.There were indeed unpleasantries exchanged in between the two of them, and now that he was here at the other person’s area of jurisdiction, it was indeed him being too nosy!However, if he were to leave this matter be, would Se

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Mr. Schmidt’s heart.He was no fool, or he would not be at where he was in his career.There was absolutely no need for anyone from the CIA to be personally present in cases like these.For Damian Wool to be present right now, it must be for someone that was involved in the case, right?Following this thought, there were many thoughts that had flashed through his mind regarding Damian.Did Charles Christian know Damian?Or… Did Joey Yates know him?Was this why Damian Wool had come personally to see how this case was being handled?Mr. Schmidt’s mind was occupied with many questions he did not have the answer to.That being said, he had never once thought that it could be Sean Lennon that had any relation to Damian Wool.Sean was just a cripple. If he could be acquainted with a VVIP of Damian’s caliber, Mr. Schmidt swore that he would start writing his name backward from then on.Hayden Luke’s mind was filled with worries.If Damian was here

What was going on?!Could it be that Damian Wool did not come to support Joey Yates?Why did he look so appalled when he saw Sean Lennon being the blatant target?“A helpless disabled person.“How could he kill anyone?“Isn’t this ridiculous?”As Damian finished his words slowly, he walked towards the outside of the office as well.Mr. Schmidt looked like he got electrocuted.One would listen to the rhythm of the drums when a drumbeat was heard, like so, one should listen to the tone of a sentence when the sentence was spoken.Real VIPs would never spell things out clearly due to the sensitivity of their position.All they would do was… tell you half of it.Whether the recipient could fully interpret the entire meaning and understand the underlying messages would depend on said recipient’s ability to read in between the lines.What Damian had said was to obviously hint at Mr. Schmidt!In Mr. Schmidt’s heart, he was utterly astonished, but his mind was crystal clear!Damia

“No, no, no! Mr. Lennon, I can assure you that things like this would not happen, ever!“The culprits of the crime must be Charles’ subordinates!”Mr. Schmidt tapped his chest as he guaranteed.“If that’s so, sure thing, then.”Sean Lennon nodded and stopped once he saw that things were different.Mr. Schmidt sighed a long breath of relief in his heart.“You! Take my car, send Mr. Lennon home.”Mr. Schmidt immediately turned around and yelled out the door.Sean was sent back by a private car.It was almost like Sean went on a sightseeing trip at the government facility.After Sean had left, everyone in the room had complicated feelings.Especially the young man that was briefly acquainted with Sean, he was dazzled.“Friggin’ awesome! This was friggin’ awesome!”The young man was sure that Sean was something.He just did not expect that Sean was something so extraordinary.…4 pm in the afternoon.At Quinn Corporation’s subbranch, where Willow Quinn was at.Today, Will
