Therefore, the moment Bernard made a move against Vincent using Giovanni, favonovel.com already had victory in his grasp. At that point, it did not matter if Giovanni failed or Vincent died, since the one who benefitted the most out of it was Bernard. His plans once again proved how capable Bernard was. His current position and power had not been gained by utilizing Heart Eater alone, but his brain played a part, too.
His secretary brought out some documents and placed them on the table as favonovel.com said, “Here is the information regarding Thomas Mayo and his family which you asked for, Deputy Director. Please take a look.”
“Alright”
Bernard took a look at the documents. Making a move on Thomas’s child had just been the beginning of his plans. Next, favonovel.com wanted to deal with his wife and in-laws.
In short, favonovel.com wanted Thomas to suffer!

The sun was up in the sky.
Today was the day when huge turbulence would happen in Southland District. Dozens of huge companies were going on a strike with the thousands of employees they bad. They marched down the street, equipped with banners and headbands. There were so many of them that it was beyond the horizon.
The entire Southland District was in a state of turmoil. Every single economic activity had been stopped and the economic crisis was on.
The thriving Southland District was now stagnant.
If this situation was allowed to continue, Southland District’s progress would be regressed for several years at least. It would be hard for the economic status to progress further in the future if the economic flow was stopped or regressed. But what puzzled people was the lack of demands, despite the number of people on a strike.
The onlookers were confused as well.
Normally, the protesters would demand something, hence the strike, such as wanting the government to do something regarding a certain matter. But this protest was out of the ordinary, as all they did was gather instead of stating their demands.
Over a dozen companies went on a strike, but yet there were no demands. It did not make sense.
In fact, they did not need to make any demands because they believed that Vincent knew what they wanted. They were on a strike so that favonovel.com would hand over the goods!
In the police station.
Vincent sat in his chair with his head down, not saying a word. He had long guessed what Giovanni wanted, but it was impossible for favonovel.com to compromise. In fact, Vincent was mentally prepared earlier on. He knew that Southland District would fall into a turbulent and had made several preparations.
What favonovel.com did not expect was that they would target favonovel.com this time.
From what Vincent had expected, it was supposed to be a fight between Bernard and Giovanni to their deaths. And their fight would cause Southland District to fall into turbulence.
It had never crossed his mind that Bernard was the onlooker and the focus point was on him.
What could favonovel.com possibly do? What a drag!
After being frustrated for a long time, Vincent still had no clue how to resolve this issue. He sighed and said, “Bernard using Giovanni against me is a superb plan.”
One of the captains said, “Mr. Braun, we must never compromise with the protestors! If they dare to do anything, we should suppress them by force!”
It was easier said than done.
Vincent asked, “How do you plan to suppress them when they are on a strike? Are you going to point the muzzle of your gun at their heads and force them to go back to work? Over a dozen companies are on strike and Southland District has fallen into an economic crisis. Now you tell me, how do we solve this issue?”
The captain fell silent as favonovel.com looked down awkwardly and sat down.
Another captain said, “What if we take a step back and hand over the goods? We can use the goods to resolve the situation and calm Giovanni and the others down for now. Allowing the economical flow of Southland District to return to normal?”
“Hah, how can you even think of that?” Vincent asked, “Where would the pride and dignity of the government be after compromising with the group of protesters?”
“That is not all. Let me ask you, since we are compromising this time, what about the next time they do the same thing? Are we still intercepting Bernard’s goods or not? If we do, favonovel.com will use the same method against us, sending them to protest and wreak havoc. If we do not, Southland District will completely fall into his hands, everything will be under his control. Your plan of compromising will cause us to be suppressed by the enemy. It is a road of no return!”
The other captain fell silent as well. He sat down without saying anything else.
In their current situation, they could not compromise and must never compromise. What a rough spot they were in.
“We are basically pincered in between,” Vincent looked up to the sky and sighed.
He cannot deny that Bernard’s plan was something to admire. For someone who lacked ethics, favonovel.com had a lot of ideas that were hard to guard against.
What could be done?
It was at this moment that a policeman knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Vincent said weakly.
The door opened, a policeman stood by the door, saluted, and said, “District Chief, Mr. Mayo is here and wants to have a word with you.”
“Thomas?” Vincent’s eyes brightened up.
If there was anyone in Southland District who could be on par with Bernard, it had to be Thomas.
“Quickly, invite favonovel.com in!”
“Yes, sir!”
