Chapter 409 Conversation in the Study
Arthur died, a driver Arthur in his thirties who looked very strong died so silently. This shocked Bernard very much. He could hardly believe his eyes, and he also knew another role of Arthur. Besides being a driver, he was also a very powerful fighter.
But such a person died silently in his car, and there was no one else in the car. He immediately turned around and faced Zooey again, with anger and surprise in his eyes Yes, besides himself, there is only one person who has reason to kill Arthur.
"You did it, didn't you?" He said hoarsely, staring at Zooey with red eyes. There were monstrous waves in his heart, and he felt that he was a little exaggerated. This woman seemed to be far more than what he saw on the surface.
"I did it?" Zooey also saw that the driver died suddenly, and her heart was about to jump out. She felt as if this incident had something to do with her, but she couldn't tell what was going on, so when Bernard pressed her, she sneered, "I'm sitting opposite you, I didn't do anything, you You can see clearly, but I suspect that you killed him yourself!"
"I killed him? Haha, do you think this is a joke?" Bernard was about to approach Zooey again, and he even leaned forward, his face almost touching Zooey's.
"Stay away from me!" Zooey glared at him angrily, not timid at all, she didn't want to show her weak side in front of this bastard, she wanted to be stronger, he couldn't let him think that she was weak and bully.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Bernard finally moved his body back, and then slowly sat down on the seat. He looked at Zooey with complicated emotions, slowly brewing emotions.
"You are fine, you hide it very deeply!" Bernard suddenly smiled, "But...don't think you won. I will let you understand what kind of person I am!" He said with his eyes Suddenly it became red, like scarlet blood illuminated by the moonlight.
"Bernard!" Zooey screamed in shock. She couldn't figure out why people would become like this. Although she was determined, such a change was still too terrifying.
Maybe it was Zooey's scream that woke Bernard up. He seemed to wake up suddenly, and the blood red in his eyes slowly began to recede, becoming normal again. Moreover, Bernard, who had become normal, began to gradually regain his mentality. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
The two confronted each other for a while, and Bernard seemed to have made up his mind. Said to Zoe: "You go! Go quickly!"
"Ah—" Zooey was taken aback, she was a little surprised, surprised by Bernard's change of mind, but she immediately reached out to the doorknob,
This time, she pulled gently, and the door opened. Zoe jumped out of the car quickly. Then run along the road, she wants to stay away from this terrible guy.
Bernard also got out of the car, and without looking at the direction Zoe was leaving, he opened the door of the cab, hugged Arthur from the driver's seat, and put him on the back seat of the car. Sit in the cab by yourself and start the car, very quickly. The car disappeared into the night.
The car drove very fast, arrived in Miami in less than three hours, and then parked in a luxurious villa in Palm Beach. Bernard got out of the car and went straight upstairs. It was early morning at this time, but the lights were still on in the upstairs study.
"You didn't bring anyone here?" Sitting on the wooden chair behind the desk was a man who looked to be in his seventies, and his hair was a little gray. But the spirit is very good, with a pair of eyes, the light shot from the lens is very sharp, it doesn't look like an old man at all.
"Or killed someone?" He stood up. Then he walked to the side, took a book from the shelf, and sat down behind the desk. During this process, he didn't raise his eyes except for a glance at the person who came in, as if there was nothing to arouse. His interests are the same.
"No!" Bernard said respectfully.
"Did you kill her or bring her back?" The old man finally raised his eyes to look at the young man standing in front of him, "You are more prudent, much better than Grayson, and you are also the one who is most likely to inherit the family." One of the candidates, can you tell me the reason?"
"Because I'm not sure!" Bernard finally expressed his concerns.
The old man glanced at Bernard in surprise, then nodded: "I believe what you said, is there anyone around her protecting her? It can even make you feel unsure, I don't think it's easy!"
"Yes, I think so too. Because I can't feel their existence, but they easily killed Arthur." Bernard lowered his head, a little afraid to lift it up, "So... sorry, I You can be responsible for what I do and accept punishment from any family!"
"No, it's not your fault!" The old man shook his head. He was shocked by Arthur's death, and it was a silent death. He knew that Arthur's ability was the best in their family, not only a driver , and is also a very good bodyguard, "It seems...we all underestimated our opponents!"
"Yes, this is a mistake. I think, should we call back all the people we sent out?" Bernard cautiously put forward his suggestion. When Arthur died silently, there was a huge wave in his heart, so in the end, he made a wise choice.
"Wait!" The old man shook his head. "You can't stop the whole thing just because of your opinion. If it's not feasible, stop it. Go down and have a good rest. Arthur can be buried properly. He has served his family all his life and deserves the honor he deserves."
"Yes, I'll do it now!" Bernard nodded, and then quietly retreated, closing the door by the way. He said what he should say, as for how to make a decision, it depends on the decision of the old man in the study. He is the highest authority in the entire Modine family——Dai Keli. De. Moore.
He heard the door closing softly. Diocletian could no longer read the book, he took off his glasses, threw them on the desk, rubbed his nose, and leaned back on the chair. What Bernard said just now made him feel a little inexplicably worried. This feeling is very real.
It seems that the bastard kid Grayson Modine has created a big problem for the Modine family. Now the opponent has not turned against them, because if they do, it can be seen from their silent killing of Arthur. They also have the ability to kill Bernard, but they didn't do that, so there is still room for maneuver in this matter!
But once you stop, it will cause the family's distrust of yourself. The orders issued have never been withdrawn in the family history. How cannot be the first to do so.
"Jason." Decree called out.
There was one more person in the room, a man in his sixties. His thin figure made him look tall, but he looked like a silent ghost. At least Bernard just now When I was in the room, I didn't notice that there was such a person.
"Go and see them. I'm afraid they will do something wrong!" Diocletian sighed softly, "The family is full of uneasy people. Except for Bernard, I haven't found anyone who can The man who inherited the family business, but... he is too young to be convincing."
"And you are in charge of the overall situation, he will get the authority he deserves!" The old man replied in a low voice.
"I hope so." Diocletian shook his head, "Go ahead, don't disturb the others, what I'm most worried about is that Fan Zhen they dealt with. I checked his background, and there are some other things I really want to see through this person, and what's even more interesting is that Dan Milk, the deputy executive chairman of the California Senate, is actually connected to this person."
"You want to test his strength?" said the old man.
"That's right. If we are strong enough, we don't want to provoke such people! Don't forget, the reason why our family has been able to stand for a hundred years is because we can keep a low profile in front of those who are capable enough." Dai Kerry showed a bitter smile, "If he is worth enough, then hand over Grayson. You can't implicate the whole family because of him alone. Unfortunately... he is much worse than Bernard!"
"Bernard is great!"
"Do you know what I admire most about him?" Diocletian looked at the old man, "Because he can maintain enough humility, patience and low-key in front of powerful people, and even has the spirit of sacrifice!"
"I see!"
"Okay, do this thing well and don't let them mess around." Decree said, leaning back on the chair very tiredly, and stopped talking.
The old man knew that he was very tired, so he turned around quietly, and walked out of the room gently. He was going to complete the task assigned by Diocletian. In the whole family, he was a special existence, and he was only loyal to Diocletian. People, the younger generations in the family all maintain a respectful attitude towards him.
His figure quickly disappeared into the night.
At the same time, Grayson was staying in a room in the basement, opposite him was his father walking around, and his mother looked outside with some anxiety. The outside of the basement was guarded. The atmosphere in the basement was somewhat depressing. Although it was relatively clean, it made Grayson feel like he was about to go into a rage.
"Didn't you say it was foolproof? How did they get into the woods? All the gadgets that stumped the Modine family were just for looks, for decoration, or even just for hide-and-seek? Damn it!" Grayson couldn't restrain himself again roared, he needed to vent! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
