Now reading: Chapter 375: The Number Two Figure from A Bumpy Road to Power, a Mature novel by Fan Fan doesn't eat rice..

"The water is currently at 50 degrees. This pot will take about three more minutes to boil, so you have only three minutes to consider whether you want to tell voluntarily. Of course, you can choose not to speak, but you will definitely have to say it eventually."

Dirk Carter said leisurely.

Theodore Hughes roared in rage: "Dirk Carter, you damn well better wait, I'll definitely make you regret this..."

Just like before.

Incessantly babbling.

Cursing with foul language.

The three minutes passed quickly.

The kettle started to gurgle, indicating the water had co to a boil.

Dirk Carter sighed.

He said, "Humans, always like this. They think having money ans no one dares to touch them, but when disaster hits, they regret it. What's the use then?"

After finishing this sentence.

He picked up the photo on the coffee table.

Looked at it again.

Said, "Alright, let's begin then."

After finishing this sentence.

Dirk Carter lifted the kettle and walked over to Theodore Hughes.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Dirk Carter, I'm warning you, don't ss around, you'll pay the price..."

Facing the boiling water right at him.

Theodore Hughes finally started to feel a bit afraid.

But by this ti, Dirk Carter was no longer willing to give him a chance.

He tilted the spout.

Aid between Theodore Hughes' legs.

A stream of boiling water poured down.

A sizzling sound echoed.

The scalding water directly drenched the towel and seeped through; Theodore Hughes let out a blood-curdling scream.

He tried to struggle, but his hands were tightly held behind his back by The Rose Twins, leaving him completely helpless against the boiling water pouring over him.

Though he couldn't see what the body beneath the towel looked like.

He could imagine.

Next, that part of him would probably never harm anyone again.

The pot of boiling water continued to pour down.

The sight was harrowing.

Yet Dirk Carter's expression didn't change at all.

Showing just how ruthless his heart was at the ti.

Under such scalding, Theodore Hughes finally couldn't endure anymore.

Mourned.

And shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk, won't that do?"

By this ti, the pot of water had already been poured completely.

Under intense pain.

Theodore Hughes also passed out.

Dirk Carter unhurriedly fetched a basin of cold water from the bathroom, splashing it over his head.

Theodore Hughes awoke from his daze.

At this point, he was trembling all over, his entire body reddened, unable to even keep his hands steady.

Constantly hissing from the cold air.

Looking at the God of Slaughter-like Dirk Carter before him.

Just as Dirk Carter had said before, he finally began to regret it now.

"Was it you?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Theodore Hughes shook his head with difficulty, saying laboriously, "It wasn't , it was Jaden Lawson, he forced to do it, he also brought the person in."

"Who exactly is Jaden Lawson?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Theodore Hughes looked at Dirk Carter, saying, "You... you can't go against him, he's... he's a devil, a complete devil, he... in Keston City, he's with... with Benson Caldwell."

"Benson Caldwell? The one from Aether Group?"

Upon hearing this na.

Both Dirk Carter and Ewan Forrest looked surprised.

Theodore Hughes nodded.

Said, "He... he was once the number two at Aether Group, because he had a dispute with Benson Caldwell, so he went to work independently in Ardmore City..."

Now Dirk Carter finally understood why Jaden Lawson dared to be so arrogant.

He did have the capital to back it.

The na Benson Caldwell, it's no exaggeration to say, in Serenity State, is even more resounding than Barron Zechariah of Stansen Group.

Of course, Barron Zechariah's wealth capacity is much higher than Benson Caldwell's.

But in the eyes of the common people, Aether Group is much more renowned than Stansen Group.

This man, Benson Caldwell, is not only a national people's congress representative, in Serenity State, he also has the title of "Serenity's Benefactor." Over the years, the amount he has donated to schools, libraries, roads, bridges... has reached billions.

This person frequently appears on the front pages of major dia outlets.

And on TV news, you can often see him interacting with many leaders.

Not only in Serenity State, but even leaders at higher levels greet him with utmost respect.

You might say.

In Serenity State, Aether Group is a benchmark presence.

An unmovable "Great Buddha."

Daisy Young is an official in Keston City.

When chatting with her, Dirk Carter had ntioned Benson Caldwell. In Daisy Young's words, the city leaders of Keston City, even the top few officials, nod and bow with respect when they see Benson Caldwell. Even provincial leaders need to schedule an appointnt to et him.

Jaden Lawson was once the number two at Aether Group.

Given that, his unruliness no longer seems so unexpected.

"Besides you, who else violated this woman?"

Dirk Carter cald himself and asked.

Now Theodore Hughes was speaking frankly.

Said, "There are... five others... all of them are Jaden Lawson's underlings."

"Do you know these people?"

"I've dealt with them."

"Do you know their nas?"

"I do."

Theodore Hughes said weakly.

Dirk Carter reached out his hand.

Ewan Forrest handed over so paper money.

Dirk Carter threw it on Theodore Hughes, saying, "Write down all their nas for ."

Despite being exhausted and powerless.

Pain was still washing over him in waves.

But he dared not refuse to write.

He quickly wrote down five nas.

"Do you know the girl's na?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Approaching the brink of unconsciousness again.

Theodore Hughes said, "I heard Jaden Lawson ask her; her na is Vera Yule. I don't know the other details."

Dirk Carter paused and asked, "One last question, where are the electronic products seized at Ardmore Port now?"

Theodore Hughes, eyes bleary, struggled to speak, "I... I don't know. I work for... Jaden Lawson; that batch of goods was under my Prosper Trading's na, but actually... actually, it's all... all Jaden Lawson handling it..."

As soon as he finished this sentence.

Theodore Hughes' head tilted, and he fainted again.

"Do you want to wake him up?"

Rose Forrest asked.

Dirk Carter shook his head, saying, "No need, we have all the information we needed."

Finished speaking.

He took out his phone.

Dialed a number.

Once the call connected, Dirk Carter said, "Arlo, try to find out if there's a woman nad Vera Yule in any of the city's hospitals. If you find her, notify imdiately."

"Alright, I'm on it now."

Arlo Yarbrough also detected the unusual tone in Dirk Carter's voice.

So he didn't crack any jokes.

Dirk Carter handed the paper with the five nas to Ewan Forrest, saying, "Use all the underworld connections to check out these five people's information and addresses, and deal with them as we did with Theodore Hughes."

"Okay."

Ewan Forrest nodded.

Just as she was about to hurriedly leave.

Dirk Carter suddenly said, "Rember, I want photos."

Ewan Forrest acknowledged with a hum, and left quickly.

"What about him?"

Rose Forrest asked.

Dirk Carter cast a cold glance at him.

He said, "Take a photo and let's get out."

Rose Forrest took out a cara, took a picture of the unconscious Theodore Hughes.

The two then left the hotel.

"Dirk, you might have gone too far this ti."

In the car at the hotel's entrance.

Rose Forrest said worriedly.

Dirk Carter smiled and said, "Little Rose, do you know what the saddest thing in this world is?"

Rose Forrest shook her head in confusion.

Dirk Carter said with a sinister gaze, "The saddest thing is when people's power is obviously given by the common people, yet they turn around and oppress those sa people."

After finishing.

He continued, "Do you know what's even sadder?"
