Chapter 718: Chapter 721: Abandon Lily Gray (Extra 1)
“I know, that’s why I never thought about charging Mr. Cooper, nor have I ever thought about imprisoning him for a lifeti.”
Larry Scott shrugged indifferently, “I’ve already told my n not to keep Mr. Cooper in custody for more than 120 hours. Madam Lucas, rest assured, I promise to release him before the deadline.”
“However… in the black market, there are thousands of transactions every day. No one can guarantee that other prohibited items won’t be found. After all, the black market is so vast and the profit so high, anything is possible. I think Mr. Cooper wouldn’t want to let go of the black market, right?”
Larry’s intention beca crystal clear.
He couldn’t convict Ethan Wilson.
But he could endlessly use the excuse of finding prohibited items in the black market to arrest and imprison Ethan Wilson.
He could imprison him for 48 hours today, then 72 hours the day after tomorrow, and then take him back a few days later for another 24-hour session.
Such repetition was indeed annoying for both parties involved.
“Larry Scott…” Madam Lucas growled, her face turning angry.
“You better not go too far! Doing this is also gambling with your own future and political life. No one wants to see Eastonia’s military controlled by such a lawless person. Moreover, you are not the boss of the military yet, so don’t completely block your own way out!”
Madam Lucas was not exaggerating.
If Larry continued to arrest people for various reasons and imprison them in the military, he would undoubtedly bring impeachnts from various bigwigs.
Doing this would ultimately hurt both the Lucas family and Larry Scott.
Madam Lucas really did not understand why revenge was so important to Larry.
“Heh, as I said, I don’t care,” Larry smirked before the smile disappeared from his stern face.
The internal strife within the Scott family must have reached Madam Lucas’ ears. “You married Bella Scott’s daughter into your family, so you should have known that there would be a day when I co for revenge. Last ti Mr. Cooper was close to Hannah Ford, I reminded you. Why did you cooperate back then but now desperately protect her?”
He looked disdainful as he said, “I don’t get it. What’s so good about Bella Scott’s daughter?”
Madam Lucas remained silent.
In her heart, Hannah Ford was incomparable to Lily Gray.
Larry stretched his mouth into a chilling smile.
“Anyway, I’ve made my point. I don’t care if I can’t continue in the military, the Scott family can always resuscitate the old business. But it’s different for the Lucas family; things aren’t too peaceful lately. With Mr. Cooper locked up, who else is there to take charge of the situation outside?”
Madam Lucas was about to respond when Larry cut her off.
“Don’t tell you can. You have to worry about your grandson’s affairs, manage the company, and be on guard against the Presidential Palace…”
“I can… ”
He shook his head, “No, Madam Lucas, you’re old. Even if you have the ability, you don’t have the energy and focus to take care of everything.”
Larry’s cold features gradually turned icy.
“So, Madam Lucas, stop pretending. Let Mr. Cooper dump that woman and divorce her. As long as you do this, I can imdiately switch targets and help you deal with the Presidential Palace. You know, I’ve always looked more favorably upon the Lucas family than other families.”

Outside the office, Lily Gray was sitting on the sofa, feeling an inexplicable chill.
She looked around and couldn’t help but rub her arm.
Was the air conditioning too strong?
