Chapter 43 Need a Talent
"Want to call out security, you can."
Crane said slowly and methodically, and then pulled out a small gadget that Elijah did not know.
"It's normal that you don't understand, because this is a military monitor with its own recording function,
and your level of soundproofing does not work at all in front of it."
The corners of Crane's mouth rose like a devil, at least in Elijah's opinion.
"You, what the hell do you want!"
Elijah did not dare to bet on whether Crane's words were true or not, and the movements of his hands
were halted.
If Crane really had evidence in his hands, then it would be like asking for death for him to call out the
security guards.
"You want to negotiate with me?"
Elijah suddenly gave birth to such a thought.
He felt more and more horrible.
With such a handhold in place, he could not do anything to Crane, and naturally, he could not complete
what Bernard had asked him to do, and even more so, he could not cooperate with Bernard to plot to
seize the Saunders industry.
Most importantly, once the Saunders found out that he had this in mind with his uncle, he was only
afraid that his family was going to come to an end.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to sue you, after all, it doesn't matter who is the boss of the Saunders in my
opinion."
Crane said with a smile, letting go of his hand as well.
"Tell me why Bernard is investigating me."
Elijah was a pawn that Bernard had arranged to use against him in the Saunders, and in addition to
that, he had a role as an undercover agent to betray the Saunders, which he had seen through.
But why did the Scott family want to investigate him was something unclear to Crane.
"In the eyes of the Scott family, I'm just a small, dispensable character, so why not just deal with me
instead of launching an investigation?"
"There's definitely something big and weird going on here, but we still need to dig a little deeper into
what exactly is going on."
Elijah didn't know what Crane was thinking, he only knew that this time the plan was a complete loss.
"The reason why Bernard is investigating you is not clear to me, but what I can tell you is that even
without me and my uncle around, the Saunders’ downfall is unavoidable, and it's only natural that you
will die if you are targeted by Mr. Bernard."
"A piece of good advice for you, leave Stone City, or even leave Q State, only then will you be able to
save your life."
Elijah said in a deep voice.
Crane, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Mr. Byrne, you are so kindly advising me,
could it be that you are worried that something on this thing might leak out?"
Elijah didn't say a word, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
He never expected that a mole that could be crushed with his hands would now become the person he
feared the most.
Unless the Saunders collapses, or this recording is taken over by himself, he will have trouble sleeping
and eating.
Elijah used violence before, but according to Bernard, Crane knew some kongfu, while he was weak
and could not defeat him. And shouting to the security guards is like looking for death, naturally he
could only be tolerated. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Crane felt momentarily uninterested.
He had thought that Elijah knew something, but now it seemed that in Bernard's plan, Elijah was just a
dispensable pawn.
"From today on, I'm working here, but I don't like anyone interrupting me, including you, and you."
His gaze fell on Elijah and the secretary, and it was cold.
When Crane walked out of the office, Elijah slammed his fist on the sofa, he didn't dare to smash the
coffee table because it would bleed.
"Mr. Byrne, what should we do now? Are we going to be held hostage by this kid for the rest of our
lives?"
The secretary came over and sat on Elijah's lap, speaking in a delicate voice.
A killing intent flashed in Elijah's eyes.
"How is this possible? It's only a matter of time before the Saunders is brought down by the Scott
family, and when that time comes, I'll get rid of such a piece of trash simply with ease."
"It's just that in the short term, this kid is indeed a hidden danger, and if we don't get rid of it, our family
will fall before the Saunders collapses."
He'd have to come up with a way to do with that.
He contacted Bernard and told him everything about the situation over here.
Bernard did not open his mouth in time, clearly angry at Elijah's incompetence.
"Elijah, are you a guy who only kisses ass and daydreams? You even can’t suppress a little new
employee, so why do you think I'm supposed to continue to protect you!"
When those words came, Elijah's heart thudded.
Not good, Bernard has an intention to give up on him.
"Mr. Bernard, I'm sorry, it is my carelessness, but I didn't expect this guy to be quite clever, he actually
used that military monitor, it has our recordings. Once it gets out, I'm afraid that both our family and the
Scott family will have to make headlines."
He said in a rush.
In the past, a headline would have been nothing.
But in this day and age, if you make headlines, everyone will know about it instantly, and that's when
you'll get the thing that plutocrats are most afraid of - public opinion.
Even that super plutocrats in the next country, in the face of the pressure of social opinion, choose a
clear-cut, natural needless to say domestic. If it really breaks out of the pressure of social opinion, even
the Scott family's position has to fall.
"Are you threatening me?"
Bernard's tone was laced with sulking hints.
Elijah didn't open his mouth.
Bernard let out a breath and said, "I understand your meaning, I will arrange for an expert to help you
retrieve that thing, but remember not to kill him."
"Why don't you just get him killed?"
Elijah was slightly puzzled.
Bernard snorted coldly, "Wouldn't it be good for him to get him killed so easily?"
"I will make his life worse than death and finally meekly deliver his woman to my bed!"
At these words, Elijah's eyelids fluttered.
Ruthless.
That trick was tough!
But Elijah was very fond of it and added, "That woman, you are ready ......"
"Naturally I won’t marry her, I at most play with her. You do your job well, when I take over the
Saunders industry, I can let you play with this first beauty of Stone City."
Between his words, he treated Flora as a plaything.
Elijah gave a smile and then hung up the phone. Looking out the window at Crane, his raised the
corners of his mouth.
"Kid, dare to go against me, wait for death."
Crane had been reading the planning book, and he naturally felt Elijah's killing intent, but how would
Dragon Lord of Cryptoclidus Palace put such an insignificant person in his heart?
After a cursory glance at the planning book, Crane found a very fatal flaw on it.
Not money, not technology, he arranged solutions for all of these.
The fatal flaw is not having a proper leader.
"Leader and chief designer are two different positions."
"The latter is not good at management but good at devising schemes, that's where the vulnerability
lays."
"Maybe we'll have to find someone with the coordinating skills to replace Elijah."
