Chapter 568: Chapter 568 Going to Gonzalez City_1
“`
“Hello, this is Itai Huntington. May I ask who’s speaking?”
Resuming work, Itai Huntington sat in the office, looking at the caller ID from the capital on her screen, and had already guessed the scenario roughly.
This timing, the capital.
It could only be the Leocadia Family.
“This is Natalia Leocadia, Miss Huntington. I’d like to ask, who smashed our Leocadia family’s exhibition today?”
Natalia Leocadia asked indifferently.
In his eyes, such riffraff was no more than a passerby, not even worth rembering their na.
Even the matter of selecting the location was sothing the staff handled.
One could say that apart from knowing that the Leocadia family’s exhibition was held in Gonzalez City, Natalia knew nothing else.
After all, with a big family and big business, he had many matters to concern himself with. How could he attend to everything?
“I’m very sorry, Mister Leocadia. I didn’t even know,”
Itai Huntington said sowhat terrified: “This afternoon, while I was patrolling the exhibition hall, soone took hostage. Then a group of n in black ca directly into my office, and using my na, dispersed the guests in the exhibition hall.”
“Who took you hostage!”
Natalia asked.
This could be an important clue.
“I don’t know. After taking hostage, it was half an hour before they let out.”
Itai Huntington’s voice carried a tone of unresolved shock.
“As soon as I ca out, I was stunned! The ground was covered in debris. So I imdiately looked for Manager Winona Leocadia, but what I saw was him unconscious on the ground…”
At this point, her voice was very hoarse.
Clearly, she was excessively frightened.
“Alright, you better have not lied to ,”
After speaking, Natalia Leocadia hung up the phone.
“Miss, what should we do with these people?”
King Kong looked at the Leocadia Family’s security guards tied up in Itai Huntington’s office—more than a dozen of them.
“Do I need to say it?”
Itai Huntington spoke with an icy tone: “They heard everything I said.”
“Miss Huntington, we didn’t hear anything!”
“Even if you beat us to death, we didn’t hear a thing!”
“Please, have rcy, let us go. We’ll leave Gonzalez City imdiately and never return to the capital in our lives!”
The security guards were terrified after hearing her words.
Killing to silence witnesses, they were all too familiar with it.
But they never expected that one day, the executioner’s blade would hang over their own heads.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to do this.”
Itai Huntington waved her hand, sighed, and said: “Take them out.”
“Understood!”
King Kong nodded, and imdiately, more than a dozen security guards ca from behind and dragged the Leocadia Family mbers away.
Screams and cries filled the corridor montarily.
Then.
All returned to silence.
…
“I made the call, she said she was taken hostage.”
Natalia Leocadia closed his phone, his eyes constantly moving: “Karen, what should I do?”
Karen was Natalia Leocadia’s strategist, responsible for making plans and giving advice in everyday matters.
It was also because of him that Natalia was able to take full control of the Leocadia Family in such a short ti and beco the true Family Head executive.
Including marrying off Sophia Leocadia, that too was Karen’s brilliant work.
“I don’t think it’s that simple. If you trust , I can go to Gonzalez City and personally investigate!”
Karen spoke softly: “The waters are very murky.”
“Good, take more people with you and be safe. At best, capture the troublemakers for !”
Natalia Leocadia nodded in agreent.
“`
“No need, I want to borrow soone from you.”
Karen spoke up.
“Who?”
Natalia Leocadia raised an eyebrow, “Take anyone you want from my n.”
She trusted Karen completely and didn’t hide anything from her. Moreover, Karen’s ability to handle affairs was among the best in the Leocadia Family.
“I want Terry Moore.”
Karen stated outright.
“Him? Why him?”
Natalia Leocadia hadn’t expected that Karen would ask for her personal bodyguard right off the bat.
Terry Moore was thirty years old this year, highly skilled in combat.
He had trained at Mount Shu and descended the mountain at twenty, accompanying Natalia Leocadia ever since.
Even Eli Yarrow, Beckett Carmichael’s bodyguard, was no match for Terry Moore.
“This ti, when I leave, it is best to keep a low profile and investigate quietly. The fewer people I take, the more covert, the better.”
Smiling, Karen said, “Terry Moore is highly skilled and astute, truly the ideal choice.”
“Fine! Pack up and leave now! Rember, you must get to the bottom of this matter for !”
Natalia Leocadia leaned back in her chair and said vehently, “I don’t care who you are, if you dare to cross , you’re dead!”
“Then I, will take my leave!”
Karen bowed deeply and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, one by one, the Leocadia Family mbers all returned to the conference room.
It seed that each of them had so findings.
“Manager Leocadia, reliable sources indicate that twenty-five minutes before our exhibition hall was vandalized, Five-state International had ordered the expulsion of guests.”
A man stood up, looking at the report in his hands, “Personally, I’m sure there’s a connection. Evicting guests was preparation for smashing the venue.”
“Indeed! I feel there must be a connection between the two. It’s highly likely that the Chairman of Five-state International colluded with insiders to target us!”
“A perfectly good exhibition, at the height of the visitor peak, they wouldn’t just close off the venue for no reason – it’s obvious, they’re all in it together!”
The Leocadia Family mbers began discussing, leaning towards the belief that the two events were connected.
“I’ve just called the person in charge at Five-state International, and she said she had been kidnapped.”
Natalia dismissed it with a wave of her hand, “Continue.”
“Manager Leocadia, all signs are currently pointing to one person.”
A young man among them stepped forward, holding his own report, “This person is from Gonzalez City, Aron Jackson. Only he has the capability to assemble a large force in such a short ti.”
“Aron Jackson?”
Natalia Leocadia furrowed her brow, “Investigate! Check out this man’s actions first, and then see what relationship he has with the one who called !”
“Yes!”
The man closed the folder and sat back down.
“Manager Leocadia, we’ve checked the phone number, it’s a burn phone. Other than knowing the area code is from Gonzalez City, we know nothing else.”
“Manager Leocadia, there’s news that CEO Carmichael has been spotted in Gonzalez City.”
“Which CEO Carmichael!”
Natalia Leocadia’s spirit suddenly perked up.
“The Chairman of Marthew Abernathy Corporation, Beckett Carmichael.”
A woman spoke with certainty, “I even retrieved surveillance video and found that Beckett Carmichael had been in and out of the exhibition hall, all in the afternoon.”
“There’s video from the exhibition hall?”
Natalia Leocadia was sowhat excited.
If she could see the video, it would clear up who was creating trouble behind the scenes.
“Only from before it was vandalized.”
The woman said with a wry smile, “A few minutes before the hall was smashed, all the surveillance footage cut out. What we just watched was after it was vandalized, once the power was restored.”
“Who exactly is it!”
Swish!
Natalia Leocadia smashed her fist on the table, “We’re only discussing this matter today. If you can’t give a solution, don’t bother going ho after work!”
Having said this, she picked up the chair behind her and smashed the large screen to bits.
She turned and left.
