Riandy Heburn had just ordered soone to clean up the loose ends.
He then received a notification from the police station that Mr. Bonette had raided a Heburn Family stronghold and, coincidentally, the place held cargo he was smuggling for Zevaney Kingsley, which got seized by Mr. Bonette too.
This batch of goods was no ordinary matter.
It belonged to the Independent Continent Kingsleys Family.
Riandy Heburn stood up abruptly when he heard about the raid, nearly knocking over the bottle in front of him.
"What’s going on!"
Riandy Heburn’s voice was full of anger, extrely irritated: "How did Mr. Bonette find our stronghold and directly seize the cargo? Why didn’t I hear any whispers beforehand."
Beijing is such a small circle.
With the power of the Independent Continent behind the Heburn Family, everyone in Beijing’s top circle knows that they’re usually not to be ssed with.
It’s not that they can’t be provoked.
Nobody wants to ss with the mighty Independent Continent.
Operating on the "less is more" principle, the Heburn Family has been smooth sailing and rarely has issues, even as their actions have beco increasingly extre over the years.
Riandy Heburn didn’t expect when sothing did happen, it hit him right where it hurt, catching him off guard.
With the cargo seized, retrieving it would be troubleso now.
"We also don’t know what happened. Mr. Bonette personally led the raid, discovered the cargo, and then it was detained. We did ntion you to Mr. Bonette, but he just didn’t give a damn this ti, took the cargo away regardless..."
The small-ti informant passing on the ssage didn’t dare lift his head, speaking with utmost caution, fearing the rage would turn on him.
"You said ntioning didn’t work?"
"Yes, we ntioned the Heburn Family then."
"..." Riandy Heburn’s face was grim, silent for a mont.
Normally speaking, Mr. Bonette should have known it was a Heburn Family stronghold and shouldn’t touch it. Even if Mr. Bonette raided the place, he would have notified him, not imdiately seize the goods!
Mr. Bonette was acting too unusually this ti!
Moreover, the Heburn Family’s strongholds are extrely discreet, hardly anyone knows.
How did Mr. Bonette know it was their stronghold and lead a raid as if he knew it was their territory from the beginning?
Purely seeking trouble.
But with the Independent Continent Kingsleys Family behind them, is Mr. Bonette insane?
Riandy Heburn was quite irritated, the more he thought about it the more vexed he beca, pacing back and forth with furrowed brows.
The place Mr. Bonette raided was one of their critically important strongholds, and this loss was inestimable.
Riandy Heburn was already thinking about ways to reclaim the cargo.
That’s when soone burst in.
"Mr. Heburn, soone’s been left at the front door."
Soon, the person dumped at the door was brought in.
A man as thin as Monkey with his left wrist unnaturally bent and hanging, clearly with a broken wrist bone, sweating heavily from pain, his face pale.
Upon seeing Riandy, he brightened up and imdiately whispered painfully: "Mr., Mr. Heburn, Nathalie Quinlan asked to deliver a ssage to you."
Nathalie Quinlan?
Riandy Heburn thought for quite a while before rembering who it was.
He didn’t care much: "What did she say?"
The man’s voice weakened further, clearly lacking the courage to speak, yet forced to muster it: "She said this matter isn’t over!"
Riandy Heburn froze, imdiately piecing it together.
Nathalie Quinlan sent soone to tell him the matter’s not over. That is to say, the reason Mr. Bonette raided their stronghold was this... Nathalie Quinlan?!
