The appearance of this little girl in front of them left everyone present feeling lost and clueless, especially when they found that plants actually grew on the surface of the little girl’s body. The coolies were all frightened. They all hid in a corner, as they were afraid of being hurt by this monster. Actually, they should have thought about it. If this monster was really that strong, it would not be locked in the box this easily and transported by people as goods.
Thomas stood in the rain with an umbrella and looked at the little girl in the box. A strong sense of pity grew in his heart. He also had a child, and it was a daughter.
If someone transported Thomas’s daughter as goods, Thomas would definitely tear that person into pieces. Thomas extended his hand to the little girl as favonovel.com wanted to take favonovel.com away. But the little girl did not dare to get out of the box at all. She was like a tamed monkey, and any actions would scare her. She curled up in the innermost of the box. She blinked, and favonovel.com eyes were full of fear.
Right then, a large group of people gathered around, and each of them held a gun. With that many guns, even Thomas could not get away unscathed.
The crowd moved away, and a man walked over. It was the person in charge of the Art Trading Corporation in Southland District, the deputy chairman, Bernard Vedastus.
He stood at the most front and looked at Thomas coldly. He originally thought favonovel.com would confront Thomas after tonight, but favonovel.com had not expected it to happen in advance. Thomas actually came to the Blackwater Dock alone to die.
Bernard asked, “Thomas, tell me why are you here?”
‘Why?’
Thomas pointed at the little girl in the box and said, “There’s your ‘why’. That’s why I came to Blackwater Dock.”
That was what favonovel.com was here for. Bernard frowned slightly. “How did you know?”
In fact, Thomas knew nothing. Thomas deliberately said, “Do I need to report to you what I know and what I don’t?”
Bernard was stunned, and favonovel.com shrugged after that. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, I won’t let you leave here alive no matter whether you report to me or not.”
He raised his hand, and all the guns were immediately aimed at Thomas. As long as Bernard gave instructions, dozens of guns on the scene would be fired at the same time, Thomas would definitely die.
At this critical moment, the sound of sirens came one after another. Dozens of police cars surrounded the scene, and everyone was trapped inside. Bernard frowned, and favonovel.com immediately signaled everyone to keep the guns.
After that, the police officers got out of the cars one after another. They surrounded the scene, so no one could leave.
Vincent, the district chief, walked over, and someone besides favonovel.com held an umbrella for him.
“Mr. Vedastus, what’re you doing here at this hour? There are so many people gathering here. Are you planning to film a movie?”
Vincent’s words carried a murderous aura.
Bernard was not frightened, and favonovel.com said calmly, “I heard that someone used a ship and disguised it to be a ship of the Art Trading Corporation to transport the goods. I came specifically with other people to take a look so that it won’t damage the company’s image.”
“Oh? Is there such a thing?” Vincent looked at the small ship, and there was indeed the logo of the Art Trading Corporation. So, favonovel.com said, “Yeah, it’s really the logo of Art Trading Corporation.”
Bernard said, “Although the small ship has the logo of the Art Trading Corporation, it has nothing to do with us. Mr. Braun, you mustn’t be deceived by the criminals.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Vincent continued. “Since it’s not the ship of the Art Trading Corporation, I have to take it back and investigate properly. Mr. Vedastus, is it okay?”
The corners of Bernard’s mouth twitched. He was obviously quite dissatisfied with such a result.
But could favonovel.com say “no”?
There was “Plant Man” in all those boxes. If the Art Trading Corporation was linked to this matter, then they would have to look forward to a difficult future. They already had enough problems in their hands as it was.
After taking a few deep breaths, Bernard said, “The origin of these goods is unknown, and they should have been handed over to the police. Besides, it’s not the goods of Art Trading Corporation, so I can’t decide. Mr. Braun, you can do whatever you want.”
Vincent nodded. “If that’s the case, I won’t hold back.”
He waved, and the police sealed off the scene. They detained all the boxes and arrested all the people in charge and coolies who were responsible for transporting them. As for Bernard and the others, they had left.
Now was not the time to deal with Art Trading Corporation. What Vincent wanted was only this batch of goods.
When Bernard left, his face was full of anger. This batch of goods would affect the future of Art Trading Corporation in Southland District. No accidents were allowed. However, all of them were detained by Vincent.
Besides, Thomas’s appearance was also very abrupt. If Thomas had not appeared, Bernard would not have come with other people to surround him, and favonovel.com would also not end up being surrounded by Vincent. It felt as if favonovel.com had fallen into a trap of Thomas’.
Thomas and Vincent worked together to fool Bernard, and Bernard was furious.
On the other side of things, Vincent walked to Thomas and said very sincerely, “I’m sorry, Mr. Mayo. I made you the bait.”
