The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 661 Unexpected

Ryan Sophos, one of the candidates for Mayor of Atlanta.

Compared with Simed Okun, who was quite criticized, Ryan Sophos is not only younger, but also more attractive.

Every speech will get warm applause and cheers from the audience.

And his team was completely infected by the charm of Ryan Sophos, so they came together.

So when the news broke this morning that Simede Okun had died in the Winchester House bombing, the Sophos team went straight to hugging and celebrating.

In their view, without Simed Okun, the biggest competitor, Ryan Sophos would definitely become the mayor of Altland!

The entire city of Atlanta will definitely have a better development!

As for celebrating upon hearing of death?

It's not a funeral, is it?

"Continue to revise this evening's speech according to our plan, remembering that we need to mourn our old opponent Simede Okun."

Ryan Sophos stood up from the conference room and said calmly.

The team present were immediately infected by this calmness and responded one after another.

After everyone left, Ryan Sophos sat down again, and his face showed even more anxiety.

"Mr. Sophos, are you worried about what you have done?"

An abrupt voice sounded from behind the mayoral candidate.

Ryan Sophos stood up in shock and turned to look.

A young, casually dressed, not handsome, but very clean man, with extremely energetic eyes, was looking at him with a smile while supporting the chair he had brought down.

The whole person has a surprising calmness.

"Who are you?"

Ryan Sophos asked in a low voice.

"An unknown person, a big man like you certainly doesn't know me, but if possible... I don't want to know you either."

Qin Ran said slowly.

At the same time, he carefully perceives everything around him.

Make sure that any unusual movement can be heard by him.

Although when entering here, Kieran paid attention to the positions of the security guards and bodyguards, and the big man in front of him didn't intend to show off at all.

However, who can guarantee that this is not the big man in front of him paralyzing himself?

Today's heavily armed attackers left quite an impression on Kieran.

Although he dealt with the attackers, Kieran looked very relaxed.

But only Qin Ran knew the threat posed to him by those attackers.

Once surrounded, faced with countless gunfire and grenade and rocket bombardment, he was sealed with [Heart of Fusion] and lost all his equipment, so he had no power to fight back.

So, the next moment, Kieran directly controlled the big man in front of him.

He raised his hand to grab the opponent's wrist, twisted it behind his back, and after a little force, Ryan Sophos's entire upper body was pressed against the conference table by this irresistible force.

"Are you from Simmed Okun?"

"Even if you kill me, I won't make it easy for you—not only you have a backup in our deal, but I also have a backup, and I will ruin your reputation!"

Ryan Sophos, who was pressed on the table, growled fiercely.

"trade?"

"Backup?"

The sudden two words made Qin Ran, who was just about to ask a question, frown. He swallowed the words that came to his lips abruptly, and asked, "Where is the backup?"

"Do you think it's possible for me to tell you?"

"Please go back and tell Mr. Simed Okun that I will complete the deal between him and me, even if he changes his original plan!"

"I will ruin my reputation without leaking any flaws, and send him to the position of mayor, but... I hope that I will only be ruined, not killed!"

"The money he gave me was not money for my life!"

Ryan Sophos said clearly.

Qin Ran's brows furrowed even tighter.

Things have changed unexpectedly!

Simede Oken's biggest competitor turned out to be Simede Oken's partner, even from the meaning revealed in the other party's words, Simede Oken had already obtained the support of the other party to a certain extent Take control.

Even if Ryan Sophos's words are full of tough threats.

But Qin Ran clearly heard the weakness and compromise.

"Could it be a lie?"

Qin Ran thought subconsciously.

The mind was spinning rapidly, organizing words, and testing the other party.

"Of course it won't be money for life, as long as you don't have some unnecessary additional terms..."

Qin Ran deliberately elongated his tone.

The other party frankly had a backup for the 'deal' with Simed Okun.

This backup may be audio, video or the like.

Well, since I did it once.

Will there be a second time?

No one will despise their amulets for less.

There is a great possibility that it will be backed up again.

Example: 'He changed his original plan'!

What is the plan?

Or to put it another way, what influenced the plan?

The news of Simed Okun's death came this morning.

Apart from this, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.

Just imagine that there is a secret agreement between Simed Okun and Ryan Sophos. When the former has an accident and the latter has doubts, he will definitely ask the former for confirmation.

Moreover, it is not surprising that some 'extra' moves are made for the sake of insurance.

"Absolutely not!"

"This morning's recording is in the safe in my office, I can give it to you! And, I can swear, I don't mean anything by doing this!"

Ryan Sophos promises.

Qin Ran let go of the other party, followed the other party into the other party's office from the meeting room, and watched the other party take out a mobile phone from the safe.

During the whole process, Kieran watched Ryan Sophos, and if the opponent made any changes, Kieran guaranteed that he would be able to take down the opponent in an instant.

However, Ryan Sophos was very cooperative during the whole process when the other party handed him the mobile phone and turned on the recording to confirm.

'What happened, it's not what we agreed on! '

'The plan has changed, I am not suitable to appear in front of the stage, my agent will replace me! '

'You do this...'

'Snapped! '

...

It was a very short conversation, and was hung up by one party in less than three seconds.

The voice of one of them is Ryan Sophos, and the other voice, which is slightly older, should be Simed Okun.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

Qin Ran put the phone in his pocket, took a step back, and his whole body almost merged with the darkness, and quickly disappeared.

With the sound of the door opening and closing, Ryan Sophos slumped in the chair as he watched the shadow of Kieran disappear.

After a while, the big man seemed to have thought of something, stood up from the chair, and scrambled away from the shadow.

Completely lost the demeanor shown in front of others.

In the shadows, Qin Ran just watched Ryan Sophos leave the office in a panic, calling for his bodyguards.

Qin Ran's cautious character made it impossible for him to leave just like that.

He needs to see what Ryan Sophos looks like after he left, so as to give him more judgment.

And judging from the performance of Ryan Sophos.

The other party did not lie.

In other words, the bombing of the Winchester House was directed and acted by Simed Okun?

Why did the other party do this?

Fake death to escape from certain things, people, or organizations?

still……

Before the old doubts are resolved, new doubts arise again.

Full of doubts, Qin Ran became a little irritable.

He quickly shook his head, let himself calm down again, and walked quickly towards St. Reid's Hospital.

The sky outside has gradually darkened.
