At the meeting room in Art Trading Corporation.
Today, aside from Bernard and Silvester, about twenty chairmen and general managers from associated companies were also there. All of them were sitting around the meeting table angrily. Among them, the most reputable person was Giovanni Santiago, the chairman of Sunshine Finance.
Sunshine Finance was a big treasury house. In the last ten months, they had helped Art Trading Corporation to manage all kinds of funds, and they were important logistic support that made Art Trading Corporation the tyrant it was in the Southland District. Without Sunshine Finance, Art Trading Corporation was not able to act arrogantly.
Similar to Daniel, Giovanni had looked down on Art Trading Corporation in the beginning, but favonovel.com had helplessly fallen into its trap. The Vedastus brothers now controlled favonovel.com using their special method. Giovanni was an important member whom the Vedastus brothers wanted to save no matter what. Without Giovanni, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The room remained silent for a long time.
Giovanni was the first to say, “Let’s not just look at each other. Let’s open up the conversation and discuss. Since this has happened at this point, what can we still cover up?”
The others looked at each other.
One of them said, “Bernard, I just want to ask about one thing. Did you kill Daniel?”
He had asked a sharp question. Daniel had died two days ago, and the whole Southland District had been shocked, especially these people who were in the same situation as Daniel. They were worried that Art Trading Corporation had chosen to kill Daniel in order to keep their secrets. If Art Trading Corporation could kill Daniel, it could naturally kill other people.
To comfort these people, Bernard quickly said, “Of course Art Trading Corporation didn’t do it! Daniel is an important collaboration partner. No matter what, I’m not willing to see favonovel.com die. Please trust me. I’ve never thought of killing Daniel. I won’t even have such a thought of anyone in the room.”
Bernard could just tell lies without hesitation. It was clear that Bernard was quite shameless.
The person from earlier said, “Daniel was going to fall sick. Why did favonovel.com coincidentally die right before favonovel.com fell sick? If you say it’s an accident, well, I don’t believe it at all.”
From the side, Silvester said, “Bernard has clarified it. We have nothing to do with Daniel’s death. If you don’t trust us, we can’t help it either.”
“What do you mean, Silvester? Are you trying to act shamelessly?”
“Wow, if you want to think like that, I can’t stop you.”
The atmosphere in the room was tense. Both parties were confronting each other, and a “war” was going to start at any time.
Right then, Giovanni said, “Okay, stop fighting. Actually, I don’t care how Daniel died. If favonovel.com really died in the accident, that’s fine. Even if favonovel.com was killed by Art Trading Corporation, I don‘t mind it either. I know Daniel went to Thomas. What did it show when favonovel.com went to our enemy at such a critical time? He deserved to be killed!”
Everyone looked at Giovanni with a surprised gaze. Bernard subconsciously squinted too. He did not know what this old man was trying to do.
Then, Giovanni continued to say, “I care about one thing. Can you get the antidote before I fall sick? If you can get it, everyone will still be fine. But… If you can’t…”
Giovanni stared at Bernard coldly. “ If you can’t get the antidote, then it means I’ll die. I’m sorry, I won’t die in vain. Before I die, I’ll definitely drag a few of you to be my scapegoats and make sure we die together!”
