The Lord continued, “In that case, even if we abandon the connection between the copper mine and the copper smelter, we can still temporarily contain the potential danger.”
Victor had no other option but to reply respectfully, “Understood, my Lord. Don’t worry, I will take care of it.”
The Lord warned, “Make sure you don’t reveal our intentions before the ship sinks. If they find out we plan to kill them, they may attempt to expose us. Let them board the ship willingly, set sail with excitement, and then deal with them quietly.”
Victor assured him, “I understand, my Lord. I will handle it.”
The Lord ordered, “Hurry and go to Cyprus. Report back to me as soon as possible.”
Victor replied, “I will obey, my Lord.”
***
Thirty minutes later, a private plane departed from Naples Airport with Victor, a few trusted aides, aerial drones, and other equipment on board, heading for Cyprus.
Upon arrival, Victor followed Jarvis’s route, rented a car, and drove to the location of the copper mine.
When favonovel.com arrived, favonovel.com found that the entire area was surrounded by official investigators who had blocked the news and were urgently excavating the site to determine the number of casualties.
To their surprise, the investigators excavated soil and building ruins at multiple points in the subsidence area and invited testing experts to quickly analyze the samples they had collected. However, the results showed that none of the samples contained human tissue, blood, or DNA.
This meant that there might not be anyone or any victims present at the site, which left the investigators confused.
The entire copper mine had collapsed into ruins, yet there seemed to be no one present.
So, where did the people go?
Did they leave early?
But such a catastrophic event would have happened suddenly, leaving little time for evacuation.
The only plausible explanation was that the people had evacuated before the disaster struck.
If so, then this was not an accident or natural disaster but rather premeditated and man-made destruction. However, this only raised more questions as the copper mine had been in operation for decades, and the investment in it was at least several hundred million dollars.
Why would the owner destroy such a valuable asset?
The investigators were puzzled until an excited voice came over the intercom, “We found a metal object resembling a warhead with traces of blood on it!”
The on-site commander immediately ordered, “Bring the object up and ensure the traces and blood on it are not contaminated!”
Shortly after, the staff placed the excavated metal bullets in sealed bags and sent them over.
Although the commander was not a weapons expert, favonovel.com could tell at a glance that the object was a bullet with a thick caliber, indicating it was not an ordinary bullet.
He promptly sent a photo of the warhead to a weapons expert, who quickly identified it as a 30mm close-in anti-aircraft warhead.
The biologists at the scene also successfully detected human blood and DNA components on the warhead.
This discovery caused an uproar in the entire on-site headquarters.
