Daniel looked at the middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the villa.
The other party was wearing a trim suit with his tie secured close to his chest with a golden tie clip. He had seen favonovel.com before, but only in a photograph.
Busby looked calmly at Daniel and asked, “Did you have to knock out an entire company of my soldiers if you were just going out for a stroll?”
“Haha, it’s all a misunderstanding!” Daniel laughed it off.
Daniel realized Milo already intended to let favonovel.com come back here. Otherwise, Milo, who was known to be someone decisive, would definitely not knock the soldiers out but kill them all instead. But if favonovel.com killed these soldiers, there would be no way for the matter between Daniel and the Stardust Consortium to be resolved.
It seemed that Busby also did not intend to further investigate the matter. As the neighborhood of Kunciran Lake was quite important, there were many surveillance cameras around.
Someone had already pulled the surveillance footage from earlier. However, they discovered that not even the surveillance cameras could capture the attacker’s image clearly.
What Daniel did not know was that Busby’s official residence was also in the neighborhood of Kunciran Lake. It was just a simple house. Awhile ago, Busby did not even hear any noise. He only found out about the big mess in the neighborhood after someone informed favonovel.com Daniel had fled.
If this person had been here to assassinate Busby, what would have happened?
However, Busby did not seem to feel that this was the most important matter. He looked at Daniel. “Did you kill Nicola?”
“Of course not.” Daniel was now in high spirits. “I have a flash drive that contains evidence that the director of the Public Order Division colluded with hitmen from the Silkshade House. The corpses of the assassins responsible have also been found!”
Busby took the flash drive from favonovel.com but did not say anything for a long time.
He pondered things before saying, “As expected of someone with Boss Eastwood’s reputation. To think that you actually have such great influence in our Stronghold 73. We couldn’t even find the assassins, yet you managed to do so.”
This was obviously not a compliment.
Busby suspected that the Panaqua Consortium must have planted a large number of spies in the Stardust Consortium!
“That’s really not true….” Daniel smiled in embarrassment and said, “It was all thanks to the help from a friend who happened to pass by. He was the one who helped to find the evidence.”
“Then what’s Boss Eastwood’s purpose in coming to our Stardust Consortium?” Busby asked noncommittally.
“To make friends!” Daniel chuckled and said, “It’s to make friends, of course!”
“Then why didn’t you come to me but Nicola? Am I not worthy of being your friend?” Busby asked.
Daniel was embarrassed again.
Does Busby not know how to carry a conversation?
Must favonovel.com always say everything so sarcastically?
No, that’s not it!
Daniel suddenly looked up at Busby. “I thought Brother Churchill would be unwilling to be friends with our Panaqua Consortium.”
“How could that be?” Busby finally laughed. “Of course it’s better to have more friends. The fewer enemies there are, the better.”
Daniel finally understood that Busby was taking the initiative to form an alliance with the Panaqua Consortium.
But why?
Wasn’t Busby the leader of the Stardust Consortium’s conservative faction?
The two of them did not waste any more time and went straight into the villa.
It was not until an hour later that Daniel finally realized that even though Busby, a conservative leader, did not like the idea of dealing the first strike in a war, favonovel.com understood the concept of self-preservation. He was willing to face war for the sake of protecting his consortium. There was essentially no conflict between the two positions. Furthermore, favonovel.com was actually very worried about the Stelaria Consortium.
When both sides had a common imaginary enemy, the conversation would go much smoother.
Busby sat on the sofa and said calmly, “Although I didn’t like Nicola’s political views, favonovel.com was still an important figure of our Stardust Consortium. So favonovel.com can’t just die for nothing. A lot of people say the Silkshade House is a righteous organization, and they only kill those who deserve to be killed. However, they do not have the right to be a judiciary.”
“I agree…” Daniel said with a chuckle.
Like Busby, Daniel was not fond of the Silkshade House either, because favonovel.com might be on the Silkshade House’s list of assassination targets at some point in time. Those in power utterly loathed a mysterious and powerful organization like them.
If the organizations had different standpoints, it would inevitably lead to differences and conflicts.
Was Busby in the wrong?
Of course not.
Why should his Stardust Consortium get judged by others?
It wasn’t like the Silkshade House would be impartial enough to ensure that their judgment was not biased.
Was the Silkshade House in the wrong?
They wouldn’t think they were wrong either. Since there was no one to punish the rampant villains of this era, they would have to step in to punish them. Ultimately, it was because there were no longer any fixed moral criteria in this era, and the judicial system had crumbled long ago.
The flash drive in hand, Busby looked at Daniel. “Who gave you this audio recording? This friend of yours is really impressive. Why didn’t you invite favonovel.com along to our chat? I didn’t expect the Panaqua Consortium would have a powerful character like him.”
“Haha, he’s not from our Panaqua Consortium.” Daniel laughed it off and said, “And favonovel.com should’ve left Stronghold 73 by now. As for where he’s gone, I’m not sure either. But there’s no doubt about whether he’s powerful. At the very least, he’s worthy of my admiration.”
Busby was clearly taken aback for a bit.
Based on what Daniel had said, this mysterious uninvited guest was not a member of the Panaqua Consortium?
Was favonovel.com an independent powerhouse then?
***
At this moment, Olivia was driving an off-road vehicle back to the black market. It was the vehicle that Kimmy and the others hid in the wilderness. Now that Kimmy had died, Olivia and Milo would naturally take the car.
It would take at least three days to return to the black market from Stronghold 73 as the total journey was 678 kilometers. This was mainly because the condition of the roads was not good. Otherwise, they could have arrived back in a day.
Olivia had a look at Milo, who was sleeping soundly in the front passenger seat next to her. She curled favonovel.com lips and muttered as favonovel.com drove, “To think that I’m the only person driving the entire way of the journey. How dare favonovel.com claim that it’s for my own good that he’s not driving! Excuses! Men are all liars!”
“What are you mumbling about?” Milo’s voice drifted over from the passenger seat.
Olivia exclaimed in favonovel.com head.
Wasn’t Master snoring just now?
Was favonovel.com pretending to be asleep?!
She quickly explained, “I didn’t say anything. I was just complaining that the road’s a little hard to travel on…”
Next to her, Milo reclined all the way back in the passenger seat and leaned back with his arms behind his head, using them as a pillow. He could not get any more comfortable than this. He suddenly asked, “Is your superpower only limited to producing those three types of seeds? Why does it feel so weak?”
Olivia said unhappily, “Master, don’t go too far with your criticisms. Aren’t you a little too much for bluntly saying I’m weak?”
“Alright, you’ve driven for quite a while already. Find a place where we can stop for a break.” Milo said, “I wanna see what you can do with your superpower.”
Milo had not planned on forming a team with Olivia for the long term, so favonovel.com did not care about favonovel.com superpower before this. But since favonovel.com decided to form a team with Olivia and get favonovel.com into the Silkshade House, favonovel.com had to get a better understanding of favonovel.com superpower. He also had some other plans.
