Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Luring the Snake out of the Cave_1
“Note the time, you only have twenty minutes.”
Inside Gonzalez City Police Station, the officer looked at the vigorous elderly man in front of him and gestured with his hand after completing the registration.
“Only one person can go in.”
Having placed the pen down, he stopped Brown Bread who followed behind Fabian Percival.
“Wait here for me.”
Fabian Percival turned around and ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes, Lord Thorneycroft!”
Brown Bread nodded, turned around, left the police station, and waited alone in the car.
At this moment, inside the visitation room, Elwood Thorneycroft looked haggard, clearly having not slept well all night.
“Father.”
Upon seeing Fabian Percival, she managed a bitter smile and looked helplessly at the cold handcuffs on her hands.
“Vito, you’ve greatly disappointed father! If this matter truly involves you, I will support justice, even if you are my daughter, even if you can get out, I will personally kill you!”
Fabian Percival pointed at Elwood Thorneycroft with a passionate expression, “I must avenge those victims!”
“Sir, please control your emotions! We are police officers; we will naturally punish her with the law.”
A nearby officer spoke up as a reminder.
“Sorry, I got a bit too agitated.” Fabian Percival took a deep breath, trying to appear calmer.
“But if you are innocent, father will use all his power to get you out of here.”
“Father, I was kidnapped.”
Elwood Thorneycroft’s eyes shifted as she immediately began to cry out, “I don’t know any of those murderers; they encountered me on the road, worried I would leak information, and kidnapped me all the way to the Cook Family, planning to make me the scapegoat after killing people!”
As she spoke, panic written on her face, “At that time, I had no way to resist! These people all had knives; they are devils who kill without blinking an eye! I was scared; I wanted to go home…”
Elwood Thorneycroft covered her face with her handcuffed hands and burst into tears.
“Mind your words! Now, your visit is terminated. In 24 hours, we will either sentence you or clear your charge.”
The officer, upon hearing these words, stood up with a serious look to intervene.
Some things couldn’t be said.
“Sorry, thank you for letting me see my daughter.”
Fabian Percival stood up and bowed to the officer before saying meaningfully to Elwood Thorneycroft, “The innocent are clear of guilt; I believe in justice and the law.”
After saying this, he took out a hat and put it on his head.
As he was leaving, he also tied his scarf and tightened it.
Seeing these actions, Elwood Thorneycroft’s lips curled into a slight smile.
…
“Mr. Thorneycroft, how is the situation? Can Miss be safe?”
After Fabian Percival got in the car, Brown Bread asked.
“Fortunately, Vito didn’t act personally. The dagger and the weapon don’t have her fingerprints. The only way to convict her now is the accusations from those remaining four people.”
Fabian Percival leaned back in the car seat and let out a cold laugh, “Julius Reed, Julius Reed, you’ve calculated everything but you didn’t see this coming, did you?”
The capture of the four bodyguards was no skin off Fabian Percival’s nose, inflicting no real damage.
He had plenty of employees and bodyguards; as these were taken away, more excellent candidates would immediately take their place.
As long as Elwood was unharmed, nothing else mattered.
“I’ve already hinted to her that the blame will be placed on those men. Then I will make them commit suicide out of fear of the charges, and all accusations against Vito will fall apart.”
Fabian Percival let out a cold smile, leaned back into the car seat, and closed his eyes slightly, “Now, we just wait for the news.”
Ding!
Just then, the phone in his hand rang.
“Devlin, what’s the matter? Don’t expose yourself unless absolutely necessary.”
Seeing that the caller was Devlin, Fabian Percival sounded displeased.
The contact was his most deeply hidden chess piece; such public contact during the day increased the risk of exposure.
“Manager Percival, someone is trying to assassinate you.”
Devlin’s voice was very cold, as if he didn’t feel anything about his boss’s reprimand.
“Who!”
Hearing the news, Fabian Percival’s hand clutching the phone suddenly tightened.
In this kind of situation, someone was actually trying to assassinate him?
He had already deployed a large number of guards to protect his own safety, and it was daytime!
“Why haven’t I received any information?”
Fabian Percival narrowed his eyes to slits, seemingly pondering the implications of the entire situation.
“Top-secret intelligence, you couldn’t possibly know.”
Devlin’s voice remained as impassive as a robot’s: “The Shadow Warrior was sent by Julius Reed.”
“Him? Haha, he’s taking the initiative against me?”
Fabian Percival said coldly, laughing, “Perhaps he was dizzied by a brief victory. How many people did they send?”
In his view, the assassination attempt would likely be large-scale, but under broad daylight, didn’t they fear causing a bad impact?
This was Gonzalez City!
A city!
And he happened to be staying inside a hotel, a place where most people gathered.
If an assassination really occurred, wouldn’t they fear losing control of the situation?

“Only two people.”
After Devlin finished speaking, he confirmed again, “Yes, only two people, they will act when you go out in the afternoon.”
“You’ve done well this time. After I take down Aron Jackson of Gonzalez City, you’ll take his place.”
Fabian Percival was somewhat astonished; only two people?
That was underestimating him too much.
However, when it came to assassination, indeed, the fewer people involved, the easier it was to carry out.
“Brown Bread, immediately drive the car to that shabby warehouse in Gonzalez City, and arrange manpower; we must capture these two people alive!”
After hanging up the phone, Fabian Percival muttered to himself: “Julius Reed, you’re still too young to fight against me!”
“Understood, Mr. Thorneycroft.”
Brown Bread in the co-driver’s seat took out the walkie-talkie and began to command: “Teams one, two, and three, follow behind me, heading to the abandoned warehouse at the Gonzalez City docks. Team four, monitor en route, watch for suspicious vehicles, team five block the escape route. Make sure they can’t return!”
“Received!”
Following the responses from the walkie-talkie, dozens of cars slowly caught up behind the sedan Fabian Percival was riding in.
The cars intentionally or unintentionally dispersed the surrounding traffic, firmly surrounding Fabian Percival’s vehicle in the middle.
“Done!”
Seeing such an impressive array, Karen, sitting at the intersection, threw her phone card into the trash bin, and patted Terry Moore, who was lying on the road pretending to sleep: “Time to work!”
“Did you lure them out?”
Terry Moore rubbed his eyes, still groggy as if he hadn’t woken up.
“Of course, I just spread a rumor, and it lured out that old fox! As expected, he chose the suburbs to take us down!”
Karen smirked, and she and Terry Moore got into the old Jetta, “Later, you can have a good fight. If the old man can be killed, kill him. If not, at least scare him.”
“If we don’t kill anyone, will Julius Reed let us go?”
Terry Moore started the old Jetta, chasing after the convoy ahead.
“Manager Leocadia even asked you to kill Julius Reed, so why are you running back after getting beaten up?”
Karen gave him a sideways glance.
“Hold tight! You old coot!”
Boom!
Terry Moore slammed the accelerator to the floor, the car roaring as it sped along the street.
