"Don't worry, I promise I won't harm you this time. Even if our cooperation fails, I won't do anything to you," Abel reassured him."Where are you in the hospital?" Pierre's heart stirred. He had no choice but to rely on Karen.Deep down, though, he knew Karen was unreliable.Relying on her was worse than relying on the person he was about to cooperate with!"I'm in the hospital cafeteria right now. Not inside but facing the parking lot," said Abel as he glanced around at his surroundings.The hospital at night was far less lively than during the day, and the cafeteria had no food at this hour. As such, there were hardly any people around."Wait for me." Pierre hung up the phone and shouted loudly at the door, "Come in!"The ward was well soundproofed, and Elena had closed the door tightly. That was why she did not hear Pierre's voice.Pierre frowned and had no choice but to continue yelling loudly, "Come in!"This time, Elena heard it and quickly poked her head in. "Mr. Pierr
Nevertheless, Pierre clearly realized that there was no way he could compete with Abel.At least not now. He could not even stand up.If he really got into a fight, he would be the one at a disadvantage, and his leg might end up even worse."Listen to me. As long as you're willing to provide me with this money, I'll fulfill one of your wishes," added Abel. He tasked Hera with investigating some things about Pierre today and unexpectedly found some information. These things were his capital for negotiating cooperation with Pierre."Any wish?" asked Pierre."Not exactly. It depends on what you want to do.” Abel was not so naive as to promise any wish. Even though he could back out of the agreement, he had already tricked Pierre once. Seeing Pierre as a cripple made him suddenly feel reluctant to trick him again.However, it was not out of pity for Pierre. Abel just felt that this person, though foolishly rich, would not fall for more tricks again."That won't do," replied Pierre
Abel had his own way of enchanting people's hearts. Now, Pierre was already considering what he said. Indeed, as long as Karen was fine, he could still contend with Percy when his leg was healed.The Mallory family could not entirely fall into the hands of Percy."Alright, I agree. As long as you arrange for someone to deal with my mother's affairs, I'll give you two million dollars," Pierre agreed. He felt that such a deal was fair."Good, it's a deal." Abel let out a light chuckle. He took out his phone and said, "But this matter requires a deposit. You only have to give me one million dollars, and I can arrange it for you tonight.""You want a million dollars without doing anything?" Pierre frowned."I'm a businessman. When you said I ripped you off before, it wasn't really me ripping you off. It was Luke scheming against you. I was just as deceived as you were, so why did you suddenly make me out to be the scammer? "I pride myself on being a person of integrity. You have t
The man on the other end of the line sensed the hesitation in her tone. He then spoke in his normal voice, no longer sounding like Silas. "I've successfully mimicked Silas' voice and tone from the previous interview videos. Now, the only thing left is the appearance. "To solve this problem, we need to introduce a fake Silas to clarify things for you. What I'm doing now is imitating Silas's appearance.""Imitate?" Karen was shocked! She knew some people could imitate voices very well. They could even sing like famous singers. However, she had not heard of anyone being able to mimic appearances... Even with makeup skills, how close could others get before they discovered something was off? Those reporters were not stupid. How could they fall for it?"I can only help you to settle it today. If you don't trust me, then there's nothing I can do. Find someone else." The person on the phone sounded impatient."Wait!" Karen realized that he was a capable person, unlike no one else s
The man remained silent, yet Silas felt an unprecedented sense of despair. It had to be the case. With someone ready to replace him at any moment, he was done for. Karen did not leave him any choice...The man pushed open the door. Jeff and Windsor, who were guarding outside, saw another Silas standing there and walking out. They could not help but widen their eyes in astonishment. "Wasn't he half-dead just now? How can he suddenly walk?"They did not consider other possibilities. They thought Silas had recovered. The doctor they summoned had also said that Silas' injuries were severe. He needed at least two months of rest. It had not been that long. How could the man who just went in make Silas, who was barely alive, stand up?"No, it's not the same person! Look, their clothes are different!" Windsor noticed that the person in front of them was wearing the exact same clothes as the man who entered earlier."What..." Jeff pinched his thigh, doubting if he was dreaming and
The reason he gave to the reporters actually had loopholes. Still, whatever reason one chose, there would always be loopholes. Hence, he opted for this one. This way, he could provide an explanation without offending Luke.Karen naturally knew there would not be an audio with the same frequency. After all, that was the sound of Silas being beaten up. How could that possibly be found in a movie? Therefore, when the man explained it to the reporters, he was actually avoiding offending Luke.Karen initially thought that since there was someone so similar to Silas, he should teach the reporter of New Youth Daily a lesson. However, this man straightforwardly told her that she did not have the ability to contend with Luke. She felt humiliated.The man rose to her feet and said, "The mission is over. As for the person in the bedroom, you'd better get a doctor to check on him. If he dies, you'll be in trouble."Karen retorted, "Trouble? Well, if he dies, it's just as well. It'll save
"Then you should just stay here for a week. Name your price," said Karen."But..." The doctor was slightly tempted. A week was not very long, after all. Plus, he had an assistant at the clinic to help, so there should not be any major problems. After all, things were relatively peaceful in A City these days. Usually, it was just some people from various organizations getting into fights. At most, they just ended up getting slashed a bit.These injuries were not troublesome. If there were any life-threatening injuries, they would go to the hospital rather than his black market clinic. Therefore, being away for a week was really no problem, and he could even make money."How much? If you're not willing, I can find someone else," added Karen. There was more than just this one black market clinic in A City."5,000 dollars a day," replied the doctor.Five thousand dollars was a lot for an ordinary person. If they went to the hospital, they would not even spend that much on treatment
There was no such thing as off-the-book members of the Island of Despair before this.That was why Luca did not know about them either. During the time she was away from the Island of Despair, she wondered how much Abel had actually done. However, the more he did, the more it showed he was becoming restless... At the very least, it proved he had intentions. However, Luca was not sure about whether this matter had anything to do with Luke. She just felt very passive now, not knowing what Abel was up to or whether it had anything to do with Luke. Therefore, they could only passively observe what he was doing and then analyze his actions."Don't think too much. If he really takes action, we'll know." Luke knew what she was worried about. Worrying now was useless. After all, Abel was in the shadows while they were in the light."If you're free today, could you accompany me to visit Marcos' mother?" asked Luke. He was entrusted by Marcos to check on Sarah's recent condition.
