Extraordinary Puppet Master

Uptown, in front of Moriarty Manor.

After Charlotte exchanged a few words with Will, she learned that the man in front of her claimed to be his mother's best friend and had even pursued her mother.

But this is another sad story

But Charlotte didn't believe it all. He said with a suspicious look on his face: "I have indeed heard of your reputation in Kelland, but how can you prove that what you just said is true?"

"Oh, dear little Charlotte, my heart has been broken by you. How can you doubt me like this? Use your smart brain and think about it. Even if you have never seen me register with your brother, The Wayne City Municipal Council should have my previous files!"

Upon hearing this, Will's expression suddenly became tearful, as if he was hurt by Charlotte's suspicion.

A grown man making such an expression gave Charlotte goosebumps, but Will's appearance did have a feminine feel.

And Charlotte also let down her guard a little, and just went to the city bureau to check the file information about Weir's identity.

If the other person is a friend of his mother, then he must have been a decent person in Wayne City and also a transcendent person.

Even if the City Council's information is limited, the Secret Service must have very detailed files, and it makes no sense for him to tell such a lie that can be exposed at once.

Then before Charlotte could speak, Will chuckled and said.

"Little Charlotte, you returned to Wayne City this time to investigate the cause of your mother's death, right?"

"Why do you know?!" Charlotte was shocked.

This matter was never mentioned even to his brother, so how did Will know about it?

"Because, I know the real cause of your mother's death!"

With this explosion, Charlotte's brain exploded. She stood up and shouted to Weir: "How did my mother die?"

Will looked at the excited Charlotte and sighed deeply, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you are Wally's child, I can't hurt you."

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me the truth!" Charlotte's expression became more and more irritable.

Weir shook his head and said: "The truth is both true and cruel. If you learn the truth, you may have wounds in your heart that will never heal.

It's up to you whether you want to explore it or not. I will only push open this long-dusted iron door for you. "

"Please, Uncle Will, tell me the truth, I can accept it at any cost!"

Facing Charlotte's prayer, Will shook his head, and finally took out a newspaper and handed it to Charlotte.

"It would be too cruel to tell you the truth directly. If you want to trace it, let's start with today's headlines."

"Manyin Morning News?"

Charlotte took the newspaper doubtfully, but frowned as he looked at it. When he wanted to say something to Weir, he suddenly found that the figure who was in front of him just now had disappeared.

In the distance, Weir was riding a bicycle on the tree-lined path, humming a little tune and drifting away.

"It's class time now, why are you giving me the newspaper?"

Karin, who was attending class in the apartment, doubtfully took the copy of the Mayin Morning News from Elena's hand.

But as soon as he glanced at it, he was stunned.

[Tex Als, chairman of Lehman Brothers, was shot dead by the police on suspicion of multiple major crimes! 】

After seeing today's headlines, Carlin couldn't help but read the specific content.

Lehman Brothers is also a large company in Wayne City, involving many fields such as land and real estate, textiles, carriage shops, and transportation.

Chairman Tykes is a well-known upstart capitalist in Wayne City. He is also a board member of several other large companies and has countless wealth.

And being able to own a luxurious manor in the uptown area is proof of its status.

Carlin heard that he had recently been trying to find ways to operate relationships in the Steam City, hoping to obtain a noble title.

But Tex transformed from a business tycoon to a villain who committed all kinds of evil seemingly overnight.

The crimes listed in the newspapers, such as smuggling, murder, violence, and human trafficking, are simply too numerous to mention. The most terrifying thing is that he has been cannibalizing for a long time!

The newspaper mainly mentioned the crimes committed by Tex, and did not mention much about the specific arrest process, only briefly mentioning it.

Yesterday at three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of police officers broke into Lehman Brothers and prepared to arrest him. However, they encountered fierce resistance from the company's hired gunmen and security guards. During the shootout, Tykes was shot in the head by a stray bullet and died. Let it go.

"Not only that, we also uprooted several big gangs in the lower city area. I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the cult group was actually Tex!"

Elena said with emotion on her face.

When Carlin heard what she said, his mood became strange, and he asked curiously: "Why would he do this? If a good capitalist doesn't do anything, he has to be the leader of a cult?"

Elena shook her head and said, "Do you remember that altar?"

‘Not only did I remember it, I also knew that the name of the ceremony was the Ritual of Resurrection. ’ Karin thought silently in his heart.

"Remember, what happened?"

"Tex arranged that ceremony to extend his life. He is 69 years old this year and his physical condition is very worrying. He may die one day."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Karin also lamented that life, old age, illness and death are nightmares that mortals and most extraordinary people cannot get rid of. The richer one is, the easier it is to go crazy because of it.

No matter how rich you are and how powerful you are, as long as you don't become a god, you will eventually turn into a handful of loess.

While he was sighing with emotion, Carlin was also surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that the abandoned child thrown out by the mastermind behind the scenes was so substantial.

But if you think about it, you can understand that if the abandoned son is not important enough, it will be impossible to fool all three parties, including the Ranger Association, the Secret Service, and the Ace family.

Elena's tone changed and she became cheerful again, and two dimples appeared on her beautiful face.

“Fortunately, we discovered it in time, and we, the Secret Service, and the Ace family took direct action to wipe out all his arrangements, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In yesterday's operation, we found three more altars, all of which were destroyed by Kahn. From now until the New Year's Moon next year, the Secret Service will probably be idle again, but this has nothing to do with you. "

Karin was keenly aware that Elena's words were still unfinished, so he followed her words and asked, "Then what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it's a carve-up of the Lehman Brothers. You will also have a share of the harvest this time."

"Am I involved too?" Karin said with a surprised look on his face.

The matter seemed over, but the deal with Lehman Brothers was just beginning.

Such a big company will definitely not go bankrupt directly. After all, it is related to the work and food problems of many people, and this is a big piece of fat.

It was certain that everyone would sit in a row and share the fruit together, but Carlin didn't expect that he would also have a share.

“Because I was able to discover that a large part of the credit for that altar is due to you. Although you don’t get a big share, the harvest is enough to support you to death.

Well, this is the equity document of some properties of Lyman Company. Although the shares are not large, they get more than 2,000 pounds in dividends every year even if they do nothing. "

Karin did not look at the pile of documents handed over by Elena, but said: "Can you exchange them all for gold pounds for me?"
