Chapter 370 Serious

"The atmosphere is really serious."

When Annan came to the conference room of the commercial company opened by Roderick, he could clearly feel the tense atmosphere on the scene.

Since Roderick began to operate the gang through commercial means, his power and financial resources have been growing continuously.

He even opened a group that integrated all industries and rented another large office with several floors in the city center.

Then this place naturally became the venue for daily discussions among senior figures of the Nares Gang.

Today, all of Roderick's most trusted cronies in the Nares Gang are gathered here.

There were not many people present, and not all cadres could participate, but those who could attend were all Rodrick's reliable confidants, and were unlikely to be betrayed or leaked.

This meeting was to solve a serious problem that had to be dealt with.

"You came……"

Roderick said hello to his advisor with a heavy expression.

"Very well, then...it's time to decide."

Annan, who was sitting next to Roderick, actually felt that this meeting was not necessary.

Because everyone already knows what is going on.

"Everyone, regarding Caleb Russ... what are your opinions?"

The faces of the people sitting at the conference table changed continuously, but they were all silent.

They were old ministers who had joined when Roderick regrouped the strength of the Nares Gang and had been working hard to contribute, but even so, their status was not as high as that of some truly important figures.

For example, Veronica. Buck mother and daughter, the top thug Caleb. Ruth, or Annan, who claims to be a personal consultant.

These people are very loyal to Roderick, so it is difficult for them to speak now.

They unconsciously cast their gazes on both sides of Roderick.

On one side, there was Peggy biting her lip. Buck, on the other side, was the most relaxed-looking personal consultant among everyone present.

"Without further delay, let's take action immediately to find Veronica Barker before things are irreversible."

Annan saw that everyone was silent, so he didn't want to waste time. He directly made a proposal.

"The two of them have been out of touch for a day. The worst problems may happen at any time. Even if there are no white knights in the local area, we must not forget that there are some police magic departments here that may be useful."

Annan would never keep secrets about certain important secrets.

The reason why he said some sensitive words so easily was because everyone who could attend this meeting had some knowledge of Roderick's dark race identity.

There are always some things that no matter how hard you try to hide them, it is difficult to hide them from those close to you.

Sometimes, taking the initiative to reveal your secrets can build a closer relationship with each other.

Roderick has not really admitted the relevant secrets, but he has slightly hinted at it, which is a sign of extreme trust.

He knew that this was a very dangerous move, but he had carefully screened out who he could truly trust and cooperate with. Moreover, he also had some means of dealing with subordinates who knew his secrets.

However, the person in question this time was a person who was thought to be unlikely to get into trouble.

After just one day of investigation, Roderick immediately called in all the people he could trust to hold today's meeting without any delay.

He just hoped that he could try to remedy this problem before the situation got too bad.

"Rodrick, it's true that the person hasn't been found yet, right?"

"Yes... I only know that they are all gone. It wasn't that someone kidnapped them or that someone attacked them. It was Caleb Russ who acted on his own initiative..."

Yesterday, Veronica. After discussing it with Rodrick, Buck decided to persuade Caleb. Russ stopped all dangerous research into black magic.

"I just need to continue to maintain the status quo. I'm used to it, and I also know that my daughter is stronger than me. In other words, she doesn't care at all about her so-called problems that are different from ordinary people... Caleb's side , just leave it to me, I will make him stop."

Roderick naturally respects the thoughts of this long-time subordinate and collaborator. However, they all ignore the problems that may sometimes arise for people who have entered the field of black magic.

I thought that just a good conversation and communication would be enough to make Caleb. Russ completely stopped all dangerous actions, but judging from the results, it only further stimulated him.

Caleb. Ruth and Veronica disappeared together. It is estimated that the man captured Veronica. He wanted to continue to complete the dangerous black magic in his hand. He wanted to get Veronica out of the current trouble. The physique of masculine energy is good even if the object itself doesn’t care about it at all.

"Annan, this is what you want, some relevant records of Caleb Russ when he was in prison..."

Roderick pushed the pile of information he had at hand to Annan.

He has already read the relevant information, but he can't see any problems. He just doesn't know if he, a personal consultant, can find anything suspicious.

"Don't worry about me yet, you can continue the discussion."

Annan felt that even if he didn't have to attend the meeting, the conclusion would have come out early, but since they wanted to talk, let them have fun talking about it.

As for him, he can take advantage of this time to read these investigation reports.

"Well, there seems to be no problem, but..."

Caleb. When Ruth was in prison, he once approached Annan and proposed some stupid things. Annan thought that he had stopped him at that time. It would be better to say that Annan had really stopped his inappropriate thoughts.

However, there was some additional reason to continue pushing the man.

Annan felt that the most suspicious time was probably the three months this man had been in prison.

In fact, no matter whether we can find out the problem or not, we can't solve the current matter. It's just that Annan doesn't think Caleb. There must be something that influenced Ruth to become so aggressive.

Caleb. Russ has always been disguised very well. He does not need to take the initiative to reveal what kind of black magic he is studying. He can take his time and complete his goal while no one can detect it.

Or, this man's initiative to propose ridiculous ideas is also a kind of resistance to the influence of black magic.

"Sure enough, simple records and reports cannot find out the problem at all."

Annan quickly finished reading about Caleb. Ruth's prison report.

"Forget it, everything is fine. Since we don't know the source of the problem, we can just ask the person who caused the problem directly. Caleb Russ must not have left this city yet. As for where he can go... "

Annan turned his head and glanced at Roderick, who was seriously discussing with his subordinates.

"Depending on the situation, we'll probably be able to find it out soon."
