Chapter 4 Reality: The Clash Between White and Black 5
At the same time, on the other side -
Four black cars drove in the night, away from Lamb Farm, and the night in the suburbs was a little darker, and you could vaguely see the lights in the distance, as if telling the cold and long night.
In one of the Rolls-Royce Phantoms, Theo sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the black night sky with a gloomy face, thinking back to everything that had happened todayβthe court trial, the carjacking on the streets of New York, the words of Old Lamb, the FBI deals...... He lowered his head, raised his hand to rub his temples, and removed the black cap from his head.
Avis, who was sitting next to him, playfully offered him a can of coffee: "Mr. Theo has worked hard today. β
"......" Theo looked coldly at the can of coffee handed by Avis, and did not take it.
Sensing that something was wrong, Ives raised his eyes to meet the killing intent in Theo's eyes.
"Mr. Theo......"
Before he could speak, Theo pulled out his gun and aimed it at Avis's temple.
Avis was startled, the canned coffee in his hand fell to his feet, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake: "The subordinates did not do their job well, and they did not find you in time, which was the mistake of the subordinates." β
ββ¦β¦ Someone stumbled you. β
"Yes, Victor has been following us, and we walked a few more blocks to get rid of him, so we didn't get to Lamb Farm in time." Avis lowered his head and explained, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
But the next moment, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead.
Avis couldn't help but clench his fists nervously.
"As I said, I don't like people who are late." Theo's deep voice was full of murderous intent, "Today I met my mortal enemy, and I was passive in the negotiations, which made me very unhappy. β
"My subordinates know their mistakes, next time...... I will definitely not make such a mistake again next time! Ives almost fell into his seat to apologize, but he lowered his head, not daring to resist.
"Mr. Theo, what Ives said is true, there are many buildings along that route, and it took us a lot of time to check them one by one, so we ......"
Another subordinate sitting in the front passenger seat also explained to Avis, but before he could finish speaking, Theo turned his hand and shot him in the head, startling the driver, and an unstable steering wheel in his hand caused the Rolls-Royce Phantom to drift and almost rush off the road.
"Sorry sir." The driver apologized in a panic and forced himself not to look at the body of the co-pilot next to him and concentrate on driving.
Theo snorted coldly, retracted his gaze faintly, and put away his gun.
"You did make a mistake, but someone has already helped you carry this mistake." Theo wiped his pistol with the corner of his coat, "Avis, you're my right-hand man, and I don't want to see you make the same mistake again." β
"Yes...... Be! Thank you, Mr. Theo. β
Avis breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of his white-clenched fist.
Raising his head, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the co-pilot was splashed with blood, the person who spoke for him before was dead, and the body was still sitting on the co-pilot with a seat belt, and the splattered brains and blood stained one-third of the glass, which was shocking to look at.
The driver picked up the towel and wiped some of the blood off the windshield so as not to block the view.
Ives saw that the driver's hands were shaking.
He had always known that Theo was cold-hearted, but he didn't expect human life to be so worthless in his eyes, as if killing someone was as simple as pinching an ant to death.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he steadied himself, raised his head, and sat down again.
Fortunately, it was not him who died.
He raised his hand, straightened the hair on his forehead, and pulled the strand of hair behind his ear: "Mr. Theo, Victor already knows that you have successfully escaped from prison, and it is estimated that he will attack you soon." β
Hearing this, Theo sneered: "Even if I don't succeed in escaping from prison, he will ask someone to kill me in prison, and this time he was sentenced to be sent to the [Minghe System] for punishment, most likely because he pushed me behind the back." β
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Theo, what are you going to do now? β
"How many more of our brothers are there?" γ
Avis frowned slightly, thinking about it seriously.
"After your capture, Vincent took your place for the time being, and now he is in charge of organizing all the activities of the arms trafficking group, if you want to gather men...... Only about one-third of the original one can be recovered. Avis sighed, "Before, I followed our brothers, caught and caught, died, when you were not in the organization, Victor carried out an internal reshuffle and changed the number of people, and now many high-ranking positions are Victor's henchmen." β
"What do you say ...... [the Pope]?"
"The Pope is seriously ill and has been in the intensive care unit, and all instructions can only be communicated through Victor."
Theo narrowed his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "In other words, now it is Victor who covers the sky with one hand in the organization." β
"Mr. Theo, if we can contact the Pope and explain to him Victor's ambitions, maybe the Pope can help us get rid of Victor."
"Although the Pope is the founder of the organization, he is also old, and many things are beyond his power, especially after Miss Anne's death, his physical condition has deteriorated, and now he can still be intubated and alive, which is already a miracle, even if the Pope is contacted, the help he can provide may be limited......" Theo glanced at Avis, "Avis, you can help me find someone." β
Avis hurriedly took out his tablet: "Who to check?" β
"A man named Osborne Lamb, just now at Lamb Farm, I met his father Old Lamb, I heard that he is now sent to the [Minghe System], you can help me check if he is still alive, and all the information about this person, I want to know what kind of murder he committed, and who is the person who handled this case, and what cases he investigated before he was imprisoned."
"Yes."
"Also, I have a phone number here, you can also help me look it up."
Theo looked out the window at the fleeting house, remembered the phone number on the note Adam had written to Old Lamb, and told Avis as well.
"Yes."
Ives jotted down Theo's orders on the puzzle computer, along with the phone number he provided.
"But now that the biochemical technology team is controlling the [Minghe System] behind the scenes, I'm afraid we won't be able to interfere too much in this matter for the time being."
"Who's the head of the biochemistry group?"
ββ¦β¦ Scott. β
"It's his turn." Theo was silent for a while, then looked at Avis: "Is that old engineer Albert still alive?" β
"He is still alive, and now he is the chief engineer in charge of the operation of the [Minghe System]. He had a clean background and had never been involved in partisan battles within the organization, so Victor didn't attack him. β
Theo nodded, and had an idea in his mind.
"Mr. Theo, this old man heard that oil and salt don't enter, if you want to pull him into our camp, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
"Of course I wouldn't be bought with money and fame like everyone else." Theo pursed his lips slightly, "I know a secret he had many years ago, and this secret is enough for him to use for us. β
Theo stopped and didn't continue.
Avis knew he shouldn't ask more at this point, and he kept his mouth shut.
"Ding-dong."
At that moment, Avis's phone screen lit up, and he glanced at the phone screen to find that he had received a message from an unknown person, which was a code code with an irregular arrangement of letters.
After a brief glance, he reported to Theo: "Mr. Theo, Wright has sent a message, saying that the former brothers have been contacted, and everyone is willing to continue to follow Mr. Theo." β
"Hmm."
Theo replied in a low voice.
He looked out the window at the night, and the darkness seemed to stain his eyes.
He knew that behind that darkness was an even more brutal bloody storm.
Soon, it's going to change.
The next road, whether it is a way to live or a dead road, depends on whether you can gamble or not.
He was silent for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Avis: "Is the Pope still at Mount Sinai Medical Center?" β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, since you were supplemented, Victor has transferred the Pope, and now no one knows the Pope's position except Victor. β
"And what about the eldest lady?"
"The eldest lady is still in the underground isolation ward of Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Dr. Erin has been taking care of her......" Ives stopped talking, as if there was something difficult to say.
Noticing his subordinate's unusual expression, Theo was suspicious.
"The eldest lady is the only heir to the Pope, and there is no reason for this old fox to let the eldest lady go."
"This ......"
"Avis, what happened after I went to jail?"
Theo's gaze was pressing, leaving Ives with no way out, he sighed, and could only confess-
"Dr. Erin once secretly told me that before you were imprisoned, the eldest lady's health was very bad, and her condition kept recurring, even if she was admitted to the best hospital in New York, with the most advanced medical equipment, it was difficult to recover...... Before that, in order not to let you worry, the eldest lady has been making it easy in front of you, but in fact, she is tortured by illness every day and can't sleep, and even has symptoms such as hemisensory disorder and incontinence in the later stage. On the third day after you were imprisoned, the eldest lady suddenly fell ill, her blood oxygen saturation kept dropping, and her blood pressure and heartbeat also dropped all the way......"
Theo listened, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
In order to save the eldest lady's life, Dr. Erin had to use a drug with great side effects, although this drug saved the eldest lady and stabilized her condition, but it damaged the eldest lady's brain tissue cells and caused her to fall into a long-term coma, the doctors said...... It is said that it is likely that he will not wake up for the rest of his life. Avis paused for a few seconds, looked up at Theo, and spoke cautiously, "At this moment, Victor, as the temporary head of the [Bloody Eye] organization, made a decision, and he ...... The eldest lady was sent into the [Minghe system]. β
"What?!" Theo's eyes widened in surprise.
"Victor's original words are - at least send it into the [Minghe System], so that the consciousness of the eldest lady can live in that world, and it is better than lying in bed and being a living dead for the rest of her life."
"Damn it!"
Theo's eyes were condensed with a strong killing intent, and he slammed his fist on the car window, and the nails in his clenched fist pierced the palm, and the blood flowed.
"I'm sorry Mr. Theo, we couldn't stop this." Avis bowed his head in conviction.
"Victor...... I'm going to kill you! Theo gritted his teeth and muttered, looking up at the driver, "Turn around, I'm going to Mount Sinai Medical Center right away." β
"Yes."
