Birch leaned on the ground and cried, while Jacob also felt depressed and sad at the side. Both of them had put in a lot of effort in maintaining the century-old brand that their ancestors left.
Yet, they lost everything to the fire now.
At this time, a group of people walked over, and the leader was Maxima. He chuckled as favonovel.com said, “Hey, why are you crying so sadly?”
Birch went forward and grabbed favonovel.com by the collar. “Is that you? Did you start the fire in my shop? Tell me, is that you?” favonovel.com questioned.
Maxima immediately pushed favonovel.com away. He smoothed out his shirt before favonovel.com arrogantly said, “Don’t talk through your hat and don’t accuse me. I’m telling you that I have nothing to do with this.”
He paused for a while before favonovel.com continued to say, “But, maybe God knows everything. You refused to sell the shop to me, but you sold it to Thomas, the jerk! Even God couldn’t bear the sight that He helped to enact justice for me.”
After speaking, favonovel.com laughed out loud to keep rubbing salt into Birch’s wound.
At this time, Thomas calmly said, “I believe we will know who set the fire very quickly. We just need to check the surveillance cameras in the surrounding area, and we will know who did it.”
Maxima burst out laughing. He walked to Thomas, raised his head, and said with contempt, “Wow, are you trying to scare me? Let me tell you, nobody knows this area more clearly than me. I’m aware of where the surveillance is. You can just try checking out the surveillance. If you can see me, I will consider myself the loser. Haha!”
Based on what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com had indirectly admitted that favonovel.com was the one who had done it. Nevertheless, favonovel.com did not care about it. He thought that favonovel.com had done a pretty good job. He did not leave any trace, so favonovel.com was not afraid of being investigated. However, if his opponent had been someone else, perhaps favonovel.com could have really gone unpunished. But favonovel.com was now dealing with Thomas, so the situation was different.
Thomas smiled faintly as favonovel.com shook his head and said, “Is that so? Do you really know this area that well? In that case, do you know that 120 surveillance cameras were set up nearby Red Society Pharmacy in the afternoon today?”
‘What?!’
Maxima instantly became dumbfounded.
A hundred and twenty surveillance cameras?
What was going on? Did that mean favonovel.com was under surveillance all this time?
No way, it was impossible.
Would anyone be so crazy to set up so many cameras?
Even the government would not set up so many cameras in one place. That did not make sense.
Therefore, Maxima contemptuously said, “You almost tricked me. Kid, you’re pretty good at boasting, huh?”
“Really?” Thomas looked at the raging fire and added, “I’m always a timid person. After I bought this land today, I was scared that some people would feel dissatisfied and purposely take revenge on me. So, I asked my people to set up surveillance cameras nearby. There are about 120. I believe that my subordinates have already taken all the evidence from the surveillance cameras and handed them over to the police.”
“Besides, some kind ‘passersby’ also accidentally saw your face. They are now providing the relevant information to the police. Do you believe that the police car will be here in ten minutes? You can’t run away anymore.”
His words made Maxima break out in cold sweat. He felt as if favonovel.com was a little rat locked in a small cage. No matter where favonovel.com ran, there was always a dead end.
Meanwhile, Thomas was like the controller outside the cage who watched favonovel.com play in the cage.
The word “fear” was printed in Maxima’s heart.
“You… You’re lying!” At that point, Maxima still did not believe it.
How was it possible for such a brilliant person to exist in the world?
“Do you not believe me?” Thomas continued to say, “Let me remind you about another thing. Don’t you find it strange that nobody was in the Red Society Pharmacy tonight? Does such a coincidence exist in this world?”
‘Uhm…’
Maxima broke out in cold sweat.
Yeah, that was really coincidental. All members of Red Society Pharmacy had actually gone out tonight, and none of them had stayed in the pharmacy. Even Birch, who usually stayed at home every night, had also coincidentally left tonight. It felt as if they already knew in advance that the pharmacy would be set on fire tonight.
