Chapter 65: The Aftermath of Calvin's Death
After arranging everything, George also lost the interest of staying and greeted Wilfred.
He left the manor with Ophelia and Whitney.
The banquet hall was still full of people and lively.
No one noticed that on the second floor, something big had just happened that shocked the whole United States.
Their departure did not have much of an impact on the atmosphere at the scene.
After getting into the car, Whitney didn't seem to care about Calvin's death at all, but turned to George and asked for credit
"Boss, I did well just now, right?"
George just smiled with satisfaction, and she felt satisfied that she had been recognized by her boss.
However, about Calvin's death, she couldn't think of a way for a while, so she had to continue
"Boss, what should Calvin do?"
"Leave it to Wilfred, it's the first assignment given to him." George thought briefly for a moment and then said.
He believed that Wilfred was a smart guy who would handle the whole thing from beginning to end.
If this little thing is done well, then he needs to consider a different person to support.
And after the group left, Thomas was secretly meeting with Hugh Jones, CEO of the Roxon Group, in the villa.
Hugh Jones looked into the other room, as if he had aged ten years in the night.
I didn't know how to vent my anger, so I could only ask him depressedly.
"Thomas, are we just giving up?"
After speaking, he hammered the table with both hands to express his inner anger.
Thomas heard his old friend's words and understood his feelings.
They put in a lot of effort for this position.
But at the moment, I can't think of any other way, so I have to comfort him
"Jones, we don't know the details of this George at all, and it won't do us any good to act rashly. You also saw Calvin's fate, don't mess with him! ”
Hugh Jones listened to Thomas's slightly warning words, and the thought of a fish in his heart was gradually extinguished.
But Ren Ran was not willing to fail.
"Could it be... Is there no other way? ”
"Let's do it first, you can fight back with the mall, but don't try to do it any other way, Jones. Don't you see it yet? This young man didn't kill us all, not that he didn't dare, but that his plot was more than just an empty shell council! ”
Thomas also left, carefully analyzed George's behavior today and came to a conclusion, which made him extremely frightened,
There is no countermeasure against the enemy in this way, and he can only watch him slowly eat away at his own power.
If he uses an off-the-board move, it seems that he is the only one who suffers now.
George himself won't say it, the white-haired young man who shot today is not the power that ordinary people can have.
He joined the Hydra Council, and during these years, there was more or less supernatural power in this world.
He also knows a thing or two, including the super soldier program that the U.S. military has been secretly carrying out.
But Calvin's bizarre death tells him that George's gang is not a level that simple super soldiers can reach.
Thomas saw that he didn't react for a long time, but his face was still full of unwillingness, and he persuaded again.
"Let's hold back for now, Wilfred won't be able to take control of the Council so easily. Even with George's support, it will take a while. ”
Seeing that Thomas said this, Jones also knew that he could only accept such a result for the time being.
No matter how reluctant he was, without Thomas's help, those members of the council alone would not be able to defeat George.
Seeing that Thomas was reluctant to say more, he had no choice but to leave.
The moment I opened the door, a hoarse voice sounded in my ears.
"Jones, remember not to try to make a fuss about Calvin's death! I don't want to see you dead on the streets the next day. ”
He turned his head, took a deep look at his old friend who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, and then closed the door.
The next day, George was still at home with Saori's mother and daughter for lunch.
Frank rushed in and pulled out a newspaper and smashed it in front of him.
"George, what about you take me with you?"
He took the napkin in a hurry, wiped his mouth gently, and motioned with his eyes for Virginia to carry Saori back.
It wasn't until they left that George picked up the newspaper and read it.
The headline was, 'Calvin, CEO of Isedam Energy Group, had a party late at night, and he died with drugs. ’
He almost burst out laughing when he saw this, and the newspaper had not only pictures of Calvin's death.
Even the formal autopsy report, the time of death, and the cause of death are clearly written.
At the end, it was accompanied by a photo of Whitney hiding her face and crying.
He knew that all this was Wilfred's handiwork, and not only sighed, but also deserved to be rewarded.
In this way, it was only natural for Whitney to take over Etherdan.
However, it can also be seen that this news clearly has the shadow of other members of the council.
However, Wilfred was able to get the rest of the group to help cover up the truth overnight.
This method is still worth his high view.
Looking at Frank, who was still puffing up on the side, he quickly explained, "I was in a hurry that day, so I didn't notify you." ”
"Shet, such a big thing, as the second boss, I actually read the news to find out!" Frank doesn't seem to be happy with this explanation.
George smiled indifferently and said, "Frank, if you really want to do something, General McGinnis may need you!" ”
Hearing this, Frank's originally angry face instantly collapsed.
There is no harm in comparison, and I have enjoyed a comfortable day in the United States after I came back.
He couldn't accept going to Europe to live a tight life, although the food of the American army was not bad.
But no matter how you put it, it can't compare to the current life. He hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Forget it, I'll just talk about it." ”
"Hehe, don't think I don't know, you run to the company every day, and those secretaries have all taken it."
Looking at George's teasing eyes, Frank also blushed and hurriedly opened the topic
"Saori! Uncle Frank is here, and he doesn't come out soon. ”
George was also amused when he watched him play with treasure. He didn't have any thoughts about his old friend's private life.
After all, Frank's status and wealth now, let alone a few, is more than enough to raise a dozen.
"Alright, let's get down to business, how is Frank's security company doing right now."
Frank also put away his playful appearance, and said seriously, "Not counting the staff of other state branches now, there are already 10,000 people in New York alone." There are about 3,000 soldiers who inject the drug, and all of them have been strictly investigated to ensure their loyalty. ”
"There was a reaction from the government, and there was a proposal to abolish the number of security guards. You don't need to send someone to deal with it. ”
George thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, the New York government is all us, and this bill won't pass." Has anything else happened recently? ”
