“I’ll go. Mr. Garten, please give me another chance. I was an ignorant fool.”
At that moment, Mortimer rushed toward Isaac. He stared at Isaac as sweat dripped down his face. “Mr. Garten, please give me another chance. I’ll fetch Mr. Hart”
He’d just watched Elowen get taken away, and favonovel.com would be brought to the military court.
He was also in the army. So, favonovel.com knew the military court had different proceedings. A regular court might order a short jail sentence, but in military court, in serious cases, favonovel.com might never see the sun again.
Isaac looked at Mortimer. Then, favonovel.com turned to Albert and said, “He’s your leader, so there’s no use in asking me…”
The underlying meaning in his words was as clear as day.
Albert frowned and shouted, “Mortimer, you are now stripped of your position and dishonorably discharged from the military. Go get your documents sorted out, and get out of my sight!”
Mortimer’s face instantly turned ashen. His entire body trembled, and favonovel.com collapsed limply to the floor.
This punishment was even more painful than death.
He’d come from a rural village. He’d finally made it up here after years of hard work. In other words, favonovel.com was the pride of his hometown.
Whenever favonovel.com visited his hometown, favonovel.com was hailed as a glorious hero. A dishonorable discharge meant he’d forever be shamed for getting kicked out of the military!
In the end, Timothy went to look for Connor. Two soldiers dragged the sobbing Mortimer away.
At the side, Charles’ face had turned green. He never expected the tables to have turned so quickly.
Before Connor arrived, Charles began to think quickly.
Staring at the corpse on the ground, favonovel.com suddenly said to Isaac coldly, “Isaac, if you want your thing restored, I trope you’ll drop this matter. Once Mr. Hart is here, I’ll ask favonovel.com to close the case… Of course, I, Charles Penrose, will personally restore your item.”
Albert stared at Charles in confusion.
Charles’ previous attitude showed that favonovel.com wouldn’t stop at anything until Isaac was dead. Why was favonovel.com giving up now?
Charles actually knew that his favorite student had died because of his greed. This was a great taboo among the scientists at the top of their field.
Everyone in their circle knew Charles had been training Amos as his successor.
If word got out, favonovel.com feared his reputation would crumble. He didn’t want to lose his star student and his reputation at the same time.
“Really? People say the apple doesn’t fall far from its tree. I wouldn’t dare hand this to you anymore,” Isaac declined with a cold laugh, shaking his head.
At that moment, Connor walked in with a slight smile. “I heard the investigation is almost complete.”
“Mr. Hart, I’d like to ask the government for a favor,” Isaac stated.
“A favor?” Connor looked at Isaac with a faint smile.
Isaac held out the black sack and said, “I need to restore this, but I no longer trust our nation’s scientists to do it.”
“Are you saying you want to ask a foreign scientist to restore this?” Connor frowned.
Isaac was implying that favonovel.com didn’t have any faith in the morals of certain people here.
“Hmph, a foreign scientist? Not to scare you, but if this is something that only myself or my student can do, then you’d need at least ten billion dollars to hire a foreign scientist!” Charles grinned snrugly. His decades of experience was no trivial matter.
Ten billion dollars was no small sum. Moreover, the outcome wasn’t guaranteed.
“I’d pay 50 billion dollars…”
