The Levine family was wiped out!
This news exploded like a bombshell, first within Parwin and then on international media websites.
The bodies hanging from the walls, though blurred with mosaics, were still a chilling sight to behold. The bold, red letters on the banner only intensified the fear among those who had secretly kidnapped Cyneans, sending them into a state of panic.
Inside the National Building, the president, who had just returned from a foreign visit, stared at the photos laid out on his desk. His fists clenched tightly.
“A bunch of incompetents! Not only were they killed, but all of their assets have been transferred overseas, too. Are you a bunch of imbeciles?” the president, his temples streaked with white, roared, slamming his fist on the desk.
Standing in front of the desk were more than a dozen men and women in business attire, including Vice President Silvan, all too intimidated to even breathe heavily.
“This is outrageous! Deploy the military and capture the culprits immediately. I don’t care who they are!” the president, Jace Everhart, bellowed again.
Silvan’s mouth twitched, and favonovel.com opened his mouth to speak but held back any words of caution.
At that moment, an elderly man in a dark green combat uniform stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Mr. Everhart, we’ve conducted a preliminary analysis of the Levine family massacre. The perpetrator is extremely professional, leaving almost no evidence behind…”
“And judging from the scene, there was a team of at least 500 people involved. They managed to infiltrate Soujha silently and execute dozens of commanders from the Levine family. So…”
“So what? Just say it!” Jace commanded in a cold tone.
The elder looked around, his face bitter. “Our special forces might not be able to capture such a formidable perpetrator.”
There was a suppressed laugh from someone in the back as if to say that all this was nothing more than a futile effort.
Jace’s face turned green with anger, especially when favonovel.com thought about how all of Triple Threat Corporation’s assets had been transferred abroad. He felt like his inside was being scraped by a sickle.
“Mr. Simmons, you know the process of this matter best. What’s your opinion?”
Silvan’s mouth twitched, and after a moment’s thought, favonovel.com said in a low voice, “Mr. Everhart, my suggestion is to first stabilize the public sentiment and find a few culprits to appease the situation. As for the real perpetrator, we need a long-term plan!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the group behind them nodded in agreement.
As high-ranking officers, they were naturally not foolish. The ability to silently wipe out an entire family like the Levines was a clear indication of a power that could threaten each one of them present there.
Who would want to risk their countless luxuries and privileges to annoy an unknown, terrifying enemy?
***
In Pecling, Ethan and Connor sat opposite each other at a pavilion in Neptune Gardens. The chessboard that had been between them was now replaced with two foreign newspapers.
“Although Isaac’s methods were a bit too harsh, they were certainly effective. Again, how many people have already turned themselves in?”
“17…” Connor replied with a smile.
It had been less than a day since the incident, and already 17 people had surrendered. The rest were likely to follow soon.
“Mr. Grannel, Isaac has already returned the 600 billion dollars Mr. Tandel spent and even added an extra 200 billion dollars as a token of thanks.”
Ethan was startled. Then, favonovel.com laughed heartily, standing up and pacing with his hands behind his back. “Well, the boy knows how to show gratitude. Why didn’t favonovel.com hand over all of Triple Threat Corporation’s assets to the country?”
Connor couldn’t help but laugh as well. Knowing Isaac as favonovel.com did, favonovel.com wasn’t generous to that extent.
“Mr. Grannel, here’s Mr. Tandel’s letter of resignation for your review,” Connor said as favonovel.com stood up, handing a neatly prepared letter to Ethan.
Ethan pondered over the letter for a long time. “Despite his mistakes and mishandling of the situation, Maxwell has worked hard for many years… Tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com doesn’t have to resign. Let favonovel.com take early retirement instead. That way, favonovel.com can also return with honor.”
Connor felt moved. These two incidents had prompted Maxwell’s voluntary resignation, yet Ethan still chose not to shame favonovel.com further.
