Chapter 198: Rage
Just three minutes later, Edwin Antonio arrived at the original location of the Craig Building.
The reason why it is said to be the original site is because there is no trace of this classical Revival building here. All that remains is ruins, where a large amount of rubble and steel is piled up.
"We've looked inside the vault, and they've taken everything and burned everything they didn't. Including all the stock we have here, as well as a large number of small bills of 20 gold dong and 10 gold dong. β
Reporting to Antonio was a 'blood brooch'. But in addition to this, this one's tie clip is also red, which is a Peugeot only owned by Bloody Hand Party cadres.
"Except for the bank employees and ordinary citizens who were caught up at the time, who were released from the barrier in the middle of the process, none of the members of our combat team deployed here survived. β
At this time, Edwin Antonio's aura was more than gloomy, and the temperature around him had dropped to freezing, making several of the entourages around him shudder.
"Since there are survivors, do you know who did it?"
"It's a pity that they're all masked, and these people don't know anything about the origin of the robbersβ"
Before the 'blood brooch' could finish speaking, he received a 'snap' on the right side of his face.
The huge strength makes this person unstable. And when he regained his footing, he immediately showed dissatisfaction: "Hey, Antonio, you can't blame me for this. My men were chasing down the rats two blocks away, and you ordered that, didn't you? And this Craig Community Bank, Antonio, you usually hold on tightly, and you won't let us touch it. What's the matter, and now I'm to blame for the accident?"
"But my bank is on your Frank territory. If I didn't want you to take care of it, why would I give you an extra 500,000 gold dong every month? 6 million a year, that's enough money to hire five or six outlaws, isn't it?"
Antonio violently tapped the man's chest with his cane, and it was not until he saw that the latter was silent after being forced to retreat a few steps, and he asked left and right: "Estimate, how much do we probably lose?"
"A conservative estimate is at least 180 million gold dong, including gold bricks worth 45 million gold dong, and 63 million gold dong in cash. About 20 million of them are cash on hand in the bank, and the rest is our money. But how much, we still have to check the accounts. In addition, there are goods worth more than 50 million gold dong. β
Kageren replied with a pale face: "In addition, there is this building, although it is in the eastern suburbs, it can be worth as much as 20 million, and we have seven stores here. β
"So these damn guys, ruined almost a fifth of my assets, AH?"
Before Antonio could get angry, he saw another person next to him hurrying over: "Boss, Mr. Aonzo has sent news that they have lost their target." Not only were all the locomotives destroyed, but twelve people were killed and wounded. Both Xie Lisa and Aonzo have advised you not to rush after them if you don't have more than six battle groups. In addition to this, Mr. Aonzo said he recognized one of the robbers, Howard Eisenhower, a seventeenth-level marksman. β
"Eyes in the sky?"
Antonio's pupils contracted, and then he turned to look at Kageren: "Can you get these bastards out in the shortest possible time?"
"BOSS, I'll do it in the shortest possible time. β
Kageren straightened his back: "Actually, I have already contacted the Ghost Warsong Hunting Group and the Demon Wolf Fenrir Hunting Group in the Dark World, asking them to help seal off Ghost City and ensure that their three armored vehicles cannot enter Ghost City. β
"Looks like I'm destined to make a fortune, right? But if they can do it, even if they give them 30 million gold guilders, I will be very happy. Also, Howard Eisenhower is wanted in the whole city, and I personally offer a reward of 8 million gold shields, no matter where he is hiding, I will find him outββ"
Antonio paused as he said this, and he noticed that a new police car was slowly driving into the scene. Then a middle-aged man with the title of inspector on his shoulder stepped out of the car, and next to him, there was a sturdy young man in civilian clothes.
Antonio recognized the two, one was Obadiah York, the deputy chief of the Atlanta Eastern District Police Department, and Colin Damon, the head of the Major Crime Unit of the Eastern District Police Department.
He frowned, and then strode up to meet him: "Deputy Commissioner York, Mr. Damon, I think you two are late. β
"Not necessarily, it has been less than fifteen minutes since the case happened. Our police officers are already there, aren't they?"
Obadiah York replied disapplausively, "How's the situation?" Mr. Antonio, you came before us, you should have understood the situation, didn't you?"
"The damage is at least 90 million! In addition to the building that collapsed in front of you, my Craig Community Bank has more than 50 million gold in stock of gold nuggets and cash. But what is even more sad is that at least 60 innocent citizens were killed this time. β
Antonio spread his hands, his face sad and helpless: "This is a sensational robbery! Unheard of in the decades since World War II in Atlanta." To be honest, I'm disappointed in your police department. β
York and Damon couldn't help but look at each other, the latter's expression was faint, "I will try to find out about this robbery, and I will also ask the community bank to provide you with help in the best way you can." β
When he had finished speaking, he walked straight in the direction of the ruins. Obadiah York stayed where he was, and his eyes were also full of chills: "Mr. Antonio, your accusations are very groundless, very irresponsible, and also an insult to our Eastern District Police Department! The law and order in the east of Atlanta has always been very good, and it has been calm for more than ten years thanks to the efforts of many colleagues in the East District. In the past 10 years, there has never been a major homicide, except for today! Do you need me to remind you of your identity? Mr. Antonio? Today's cases are all related to your Bloody Hand Party?"
Antonio couldn't help frowning: "Deputy Chief York, I don't understand what you're talking about, isn't it the duty of your police department to protect the personal safety and property of citizens?"
"That's true, so we're here to do our part, but that doesn't mean you can blame us. β
The corners of Obadiah York's lips rose slightly, but he didn't smile at all, but was full of coldness: "Mr. Antonio, I don't know who you provoked, and I don't care, in short, please end this as soon as possible." This is not only the meaning of our Chief Officer, Mr. Yves Ryder, but also the consensus I have with many colleagues in the Eastern Police Department. β
Antonio couldn't help but stop, frowning and looking at the back of the deputy director who was also walking in the direction of the ruins.
He felt that this person's attitude was very wrong, not like a public servant of the people who took two million gold dongles from him every year.
Speaking of which, when Yves Ryder, the former chief of the Eastern District Police Department, communicated with him, his attitude was not as enthusiastic as before.
At first, he thought it was because the city council election was imminent, but now it seems that it is more than that.
Antonio immediately turned sideways, turned his head and instructed Cageren: "Check what the reason is, is it the Nathan Sports Group that did something?"
There was already a haze in his mind, and Dwight Payton of the Nathan Sports Group was a rare business strongman, and he knew that for a long time.
But Cressy Jakes, who stands behind him, is also the existence at the top of the city of Atlanta, not only the president of the city council of Atlanta, but also the whip of the Atlanta branch of the Conservative Party, and an extremely important high-level of the Conservative Party in Georgia.
Is it impossible for such a powerful man to not be able to hold out for even a round in front of Dwight Payton?
