“Did you check everything? Don’t let me find a single speck,” Chen Zhao commanded the inferior demons.
The demons all had sharp noses. They could find little bits of blood.
Chen Zhao didn’t want Fali to come back and see a bunch of broken limbs everywhere.
He had to be sure that there wasn’t a scrap of flesh.
As for the cars parked at the entrance, Chen Zhao put them all away, ensuring that there wouldn’t be any sign of them.
“Gaia, can you come over?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I can’t say on the phone.”
“Okay, I’m coming.”
Gaia arrived at Chen Zhao’s door within 20 minutes. Chen Zhao didn’t know how she completed the 40-minute journey in 20 minutes.
Chen Zhao was already at the door waiting. He looked at Gaia. “I can trust you, right?”
“Sure,” Gaia replied nonchalantly.
“A while ago, I had some people disappear from the world in front of my door,” Chen Zhao said. “I want to know if there’s anything I have to pay attention to.”
“Tell me the entire process.”
Gaia didn’t ask the cause. She went straight to the process.
Chen Zhao told her everything that had happened, including the reason.
Gaia thought for a moment and asked, “Did you erase the security camera?”
“Uh…no.” Chen Zhao slapped his forehead. “I’ll do it now.”
“Erase it all. Don’t leave any trace. Erase the footage from the past too… No, leave the records from a few days ago. If someone asks, you can say it stopped working a while ago. Whatever, I’ll do it. If you just delete it, there will still be traces remaining. If you want to make it traceless, you have to destroy it physically.”
Gaia paused and then asked, “How did you deal with the bodies?”
“For the bodies, I can ensure that not even a scrap is left.”
“You said that your aggression destroyed their bodies, right? Are you sure that not a bit of blood or flesh is left?”
“My pets all have sharp noses. They’ve already confirmed.”
“What about their cars?”
“Not a trace is left either. I already took care of it.”
Gaia glanced at him. Other than some details, Chen Zhao had dealt with this very beautifully.
“Are there any cameras along the way that they passed?”
“There are no cameras from the intersection to my place,” Chen Zhao answered. “On the highway, there are long distances between each camera.”
“Okay,” Gaia said. “By law, there’s no evidence against you. Now, let’s talk about Penout Dark.”
“I don’t know much,” Chen Zhao said helplessly.
“I do know some things,” Gaia said. “He’s an important member of the Dark family. The businesses under his name include entertainment, heavy industry, and pharmaceuticals. Of course, he’s just an investor for most of it, but you can’t deny his influence. He also has a large influence on politics. Some businesses are even involved in gray areas.”
Gaia continued, “If he wants to deal with you, he wouldn’t use the law.”
“I didn’t plan on reasoning with him either.” Chen Zhao shrugged.
“Then what do you plan to do?” Gaia asked. “The defense around him isn’t the rookies around his son. It’ll be even more difficult to deal with him than Philip Quinn. At least, Philip still had CL Building for you to break into. But Penout is always protected.”
“Do you have any solutions?”
“At least, I can’t think of anything normal.” Gaia’s words had a different meaning.
She already knew that Chen Zhao had some supernatural abilities.
How to sneak to Penout’s side was a big problem.
“Oh, do you know what this is?”
Gaia saw Chen Zhao holding a digital watch in his hands. But the watch didn’t display any time. There was only a green line.
“Where is this from?”
“I took it from Howard Dark’s hand.”
“Then you can prepare for his revenge.”
…
In a luxurious manor, Penout Dark was leisurely pruning the bushes in the garden. An assistant stayed by his side the entire time.
There were bodyguards in and out of the shadows, patrolling the surroundings. Penout glanced at the time.
“Where’s Howard? How come I don’t see him?”
“Young Master Howard went out. He seems to have found Miss Yura.”
“Oh.” Penout’s eyes flashed. “He’s pretty proactive now.”
Just then, a middle-aged man hurried over.
“Master, Young Master’s vital signal has disappeared.”
Penout’s expression stiffened. He turned around and stared at the middle-aged man.
As his heir, Penout protected Howard to the extreme.
The digital watch on Howard’s hand could keep watch over his life and track him.
“I need to know where he disappeared.”
“Twenty-one Mirror Lake, Mountain Town.”
“What place is that?”
“Before that woman married Mr. Ripech, she had a son in China. That is where her son lives. Miss Yura is also living there temporarily.”
Penout’s eyes shone with sinister cold light. “His vital signal has disappeared and the tracker says he’s there. Does that mean that Howard is already dead?”
“It can also mean the watch was forced off of him,” the middle-aged man replied.
“Bring enough people. I want to see Howard, whether he’s alive or not. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
…
“Faur, tell Fali to go to your house today. Don’t let her come back.”
“What do you mean? Is some woman going to your house?”
“Please, just help me this once.”
“Fine, then you owe me, alright?”
“Sure.”
“Then, okay. Can you tell me what you’re going to do?”
“No.”
“Are you going to prepare a proposal?” Faur asked, suddenly getting creative.
Chen Zhao chuckled wryly. He didn’t know how to reply.
Neither he nor Fali thought about marriage now.
After hanging up, Chen Zhao turned to Gaia. “Help me protect them.”
“Are you sure you don’t want me to stay and help?” Gaia asked.
“Yes, I can deal with it.”
“Are you ready to face a battle?”
