"I guess you don't know that there is an interesting guy hiding inside. He dug a tunnel leading to another quarry pit."
Victor's tone was calm, as if he was saying something that should be taken for granted.
But the calmer he became, the angrier Thomas became.
On the other hand, the silly cousin didn't know what the two people were talking about.
"You want to threaten me with this?"
"Of course!"
Victor is very strong and expresses his intentions directly.
Thomas was so angry that he laughed: "Are you kidding? Even if you really find that thing, those people are just Valentines. The federal government has never treated them as human beings. No matter how many people die, it doesn't matter."
, it is impossible for the government to sanction or judge me for this... You are playing with fire!"
As Thomas finished his last word, all the bodyguards drew out their guns and aimed their guns at Victor.
Death has locked its target, and even that stupid cousin was frightened.
He immediately screamed and jumped away from Victor, fearing that the bullet would hit him.
Before the other party opened fire, Victor yelled loudly: "What about the Inspection Bureau!"
Thomas trembled, his hand raised in mid-air suddenly stopped, and he could not put it down.
Victor stared at him, stood up and put his hands on the table: "You abused invisible skills to build a dirty business empire; you covered the sky with one hand in Missouri, but everything was done using evil magic.
It's definitely not just the Valentines who have achieved success by stepping on the corpses of others. If...I mean if, the Police Bureau opens a case against you, all these criminal deeds will be exposed to the eyes of the federal government, including
The fortune teller consultant you kept privately! This has to mention the nature of the Inspection Bureau itself..."
This sentence also exploded in Thomas' mind like a bomb. He was stunned at first, and then immediately became furious. He lost his grace when he opened his mouth and began to verbally abuse Victor, but he never put down his hand.
He could obviously kill Victor and silence him, but as a cunning businessman, he has now thought that since Victor dared to come here alone, he must have a backup plan.
Sure enough, Victor spoke.
"Be careful, Mr. Thomas Cornwall." He straightened his collar, then straightened the messy cuffs, and said slowly, "Before I come, I will collect all the evidence about you.
I kept it somewhere and informed an acquaintance that as long as I can't get out of this big mansion, he will find all the evidence and hand it over to the Inspection Bureau."
Exposed, everything was exposed, whether it was the invisible technique or Hoffman and himself.
Thomas's forehead has begun to overflow with sweat. He is not afraid of cruel thugs and treacherous villains, but the matter brought up by Victor may cause the entire Cornwall Energy Company to disappear in an instant.
Many years ago, Thomas listened to Hoffman's advice, kidnapped Valentine and a small number of miners, killed them, and then performed some kind of evil ritual to seize luck, allowing him to obtain gifts of wealth and power from unknown areas.<
/p>
From then on, he, a small asset owner, transformed into a large tycoon in a state.
For a long time, the Luck Seizing Ceremony has not stopped running. During this period, the Cornwall Company continued to kidnap the Valentine people, or coaxed the miners inside the ironworks into the depths to kill them.
Under that pillar of flesh, in the bloody ravine, there remained the internal organs of countless innocent people.
It wasn't until the Conor Gang broke in and sacrificed the entire factory in another ritual that this bloody luck formation was terminated.
Thomas once wanted to block the tunnel and hide this evil secret forever, but he was hesitant and even thought of restarting it in the future after solving Augusta.
Indulging one's desires is a great disaster! After Thomas tasted the sweetness, he never thought about this issue carefully.
But now, everything has been exposed, and Victor has revealed almost all his secrets.
How did the other party guess all this? Thomas couldn't help but gasp.
Next, Victor took out a golden chain from his pocket, with a bright crystal hanging on one end of the chain.
When Thomas saw this thing, he was stunned.
"I believe you recognize it." Victor said, putting the pendant back into his pocket. "Your eyes tell me that you are confused now, why do I know everything? In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is easy to connect everything.
, isn’t it?”
Then, Victor began to deduce the conclusion he came to:
It is impossible for a wealthy man like Thomas not to have come into contact with seers, and with his cunning character, he will definitely want to use invisible techniques to benefit himself.
As for the thing in the tunnel... If Victor thinks about it casually, he can understand its function——
People in this world and this era have an almost pathological desire for money and power.
Asking for gifts from unknown places always comes at a high price.
As for the dead consultant, the relics he left behind were enough to prove his identity as a fortune teller, but Thomas secretly bribed the police to steal it.
"Is the motive too obvious? Mr. Thomas?" Victor's eyes turned into slits as he smiled, "I know you often show off your power even in front of the chief inspector, but you have to understand that he is just an action project team in the bureau.
He is just an ordinary person in charge. Above him, there are also the director, the people from the Department of Defense and Suppression, and even the federal government!"
"Today you can kill hundreds of people to seek wealth for yourself, and tomorrow you can kill thousands of people to seek power for yourself...Will the government allow you to continue?"
"It's an invisible technique... Hiding it just proves that you are abusing it. The Anti-Suppression Department is most interested in this kind of thing."
Thomas' face, which was originally red with anger, now turned pale. Victor spoke for a long time, but he didn't say a word in rebuttal.
The big chaebol sat back in his seat like a deflated rubber ball, his fierce aura just now completely gone.
After a moment of silence, he began to rub the bridge of his nose desperately, feeling like he was mentally exhausted.
As for Pierce, after seeing the appearance of the big boss who was supporting him, his face became panicked and he had no idea what was going on.
Why did Victor suppress Thomas so hard after he said just a few words?
Of course he didn't know that there was a piece of white paper at the bottom of the box containing the money, which said: I know what you did in the ironworks...
After a long silence, Thomas finally spoke weakly.
"What do you want? Mr. Victor..."
The other party compromised, as Victor expected.
Thomas ordered the muzzles around him to be withdrawn, and Victor's most real nervousness finally relaxed.
It's still very hard to keep calm! He was actually scared to death just now, he was just pretending to be cool.
Taking out a white handkerchief and wiping his forehead, Victor relaxed and left his seat, and his walking posture gradually became more open.
"Since you are willing to talk to me, then... let me make a small request first!"
After Victor finished speaking, the corners of his mouth raised and he stared at his cousin maliciously.
Pierce's scalp was numbed by this smile. He looked back at his boss in surprise, not understanding what was going on with Thomas.
"What request..." Thomas said expressionlessly.
Victor came to Pierce's side leisurely, put his hand on his cousin's shoulder, smiled and said to Thomas: "I want to beat him up, now."
