Shadow Empire

Chapter 657 Everyone's Direction [666+12]
Mr. Hof rubbed his hands vigorously over his wrinkled face.

What’s interesting is that although his face has wrinkles, it is still softer than the faces of those homeless people outside.

Sufficient nutrition every day makes his physical condition much better than that of ordinary people, but this does not make him better than ordinary people when facing troubles.

He couldn't swear at all, and he wanted to take a sip of the coffee to moisten his throat, but the moment he picked up the coffee, his trembling hands caused the coffee to spill, soaking and burning his legs. He finally burst into curses!
He threw the coffee cup to the ground with force and used all the vicious words he could think of on the damn coffee cup!
It’s as if... its existence is the biggest mistake in the world!

The butler had been standing outside the door, "Sir, do you need me to come in?"

His words calmed Mr. Hof down. He shook his hair to make it fit back to his scalp, and smoothed it with his hand. "No, thank you. The coffee cup fell to the ground."

He explained it anyway, then looked at his trembling right hand. After the anger in his heart subsided, only fear remained.

This is a very interesting thing.

When people think they are mentally prepared to face disasters, most of the time they are not!
Just like what he was facing at this moment, his hands were shaking because of fear!

He lit another cigarette with trembling hands, picked up the phone and dialed Mr. Charles' number.

The call was quickly connected, and before the other party could say anything, he asked loudly, "Did you watch the news this morning?"

Mr. Charles took about two or three seconds to realize who was on the other end of the phone, and nodded, "Yes, I saw it, and there is a scandal about you on it."

He didn't ask nonsense like "Did you really do these things?" because he knew that Mr. Hof not only did he do them, but he did it far more times than what was exposed.

After all, there is more than just one Red High Heeler in Jingang City. Even now, there are still people engaged in the human rights business.

The human population business is not just about selling the population of one region to other regions like commodities. This is only the lowest level of human population business.

It also includes but is not limited to capturing and training various slaves, providing some wealthy people with disposable emotional venting consumables, and privately providing medical groups with undeclared human experiment samples...

There are too many and too wide a range of categories here, and ordinary people cannot access them, but those who are rich and powerful can definitely access them.

It's like a...hobby for the federal upper class.

Even if you don’t like it, there will be people who like it and will take you in and let you find fun in it.

If these scandals are not exposed, then they are just a tacit secret known to everyone, but once they are exposed, they will become a huge trouble.

Mr. Hof called at this time, and Mr. Charles didn't know how to respond.

Neither of them knew what to say, and the phone remained strangely silent.

After about...more than a minute, Mr. Hof asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Mr. Charles sighed softly, "I'd like to tell you that this is just a minor inconvenience, but you know we can't do that."

He paused, "There are only two things you need to do now. First, complete our previous plan as quickly as possible and kill Lance as soon as possible."

"Second, after arranging everything, leave Jingang City immediately. I'm afraid if you leave too late, it will be too late!"

"Go directly to Maintenon, or even directly to Xinjin City, and find someone who has a good relationship with you and can protect you."

"Then plead guilty, resign, and actively make amends..."

Mr. Hoff interrupted Mr. Charles directly, "Then my life will be ruined!"

His voice came out from his throat and from between his teeth. Although Mr. Charles could not see his appearance at the moment, he could imagine the way he gritted his teeth and the white foam at the corners of his mouth due to excitement.

Mr. Charles frowned. “You should be thinking about how to save yourself now, not your job.”

"You still have stocks and dividends from the foundation. Even if you lose those political things, at least you still have money."

"For your life and money, I hope you can calm down quickly and do what I say!"

There was another brief silence, and Mr. Hof gasped like a wounded beast!

After a long while, the panting sound in the receiver disappeared, and he swallowed and said, "I know."

Mr. Charles then said "hmm" with satisfaction, and at the same time comforted him, "After we settle this matter, we will find a way to take off these hats for you. At that time, you will still be your opinion leader."

"But the premise is that we can survive this crisis safely, understand?"

Mr. Hof gradually calmed down, "I know."

"And!" Mr. Charles said after a while, "If you are caught..." Mr. Hof gritted his teeth, "I won't confess anything."

"Very good, do as I say as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Charles looked at his bodyguards and asked, "How long have you been following me?"

One of the guys, who was kind of the captain of the bodyguard, said, "It's been almost thirty years, sir."

"Thirty years!" Mr. Charles repeated, and then sighed, "How many thirty years can a person have in his life? I didn't expect that we already have thirty years..."

His tone was full of helplessness and emotion about the long time. After being depressed for a while, he looked at these people again and said, "You know Mr. Hof. He might be in trouble. I'm worried that he might not be obedient or have bad luck and fail to leave Jingang City smoothly, and be caught by Williams' people."

"So...you guys can make the arrangements."

"Is there anyone willing to go? Regardless of success or failure, I will give you two hundred thousand in cash, and as long as I don't fall, I will treat his family as my own and give them the best of everything."

"Wealth, status, everything!"

It's not that he knows Mr. Hof very well, he just simply understands "people".

Mr. Charles had heard of some horrific torture methods, and even those professionally trained military intelligence personnel could not withstand the torture and confessed everything they knew.

Mr. Hof, how could he withstand torture and not confess?
Once he is caught and measures are taken, it won't take long for him to say everything that should and shouldn't be said.

So it was important to make sure they didn't catch Mr. Hof alive.

The situation of the other two was slightly better. They were not core members and knew limited things, but Mr. Hof was not the same.

As long as he is caught, he must not be allowed to reveal what he knows, he must die!
After arranging these, Mr. Charles tidied his appearance and came to the living room.

The guy sitting there stood up immediately, and Mr. Charles had a gentle smile on his face, "Mr. Hope, I have learned some of your views, and I have to say that it is shocking!"

"Your love for your nation, family, and friends makes me and many federal people feel ashamed!"

"I admit that there are indeed many problems in the current federation. People do not pay enough attention to refugees and abuse their cheap labor to make them do dangerous things. We urgently need to use some power to reverse all this."

"But this is not something that I or you can do alone. It requires a lot of people, even bloodshed and sacrifice!"

"For the future of the refugee community, Mr. Hope, do you have the courage to face this?"

Mr. Hope's eyes were shining. Anyway, the bloodshed and sacrifice were not his blood and the sacrifice was not his. What was there for him to be afraid of?

Having said that, politics is a public performance class.

He suddenly became excited. "On behalf of tens of millions of refugees, I thank you for your generosity and kindness, Mr. Charles. The people of Newport will remember your kindness..."

It would be easy to defeat Mayor Williams, but Mr. Charles wanted to defeat him completely and not give him the opportunity to plan for the future.

If a vicious large-scale group conflict occurred in Jingang City, a large number of people would be killed or injured, including many refugees.

In order to appease the emotions of its allies and give an explanation to the domestic people, will the federal government directly impeach Mayor Williams and force him to step down early, and then beat him to death with a stick?

Probably!

Even if the federal government does not intend to kill him with one blow, Mr. Charles and his group will not let him live!

In his eyes, Hope in front of him is just a clown, but if used well, he can become the sharpest dagger that stabs Mayor Williams in the heart!
The people involved were definitely not the only ones who were shocked by this incident. Mayor Williams also gasped when he saw the newspaper when he woke up in the morning.

He knew about these notebooks and what was in them, and he had almost forgotten about them until this moment!
He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Chief Blue's office number. Chief Blue didn't dare go home to sleep now, for fear that if the mayor called at any time and he didn't answer the call immediately, he would eventually be replaced.

Fortunately, there is a lounge in the office where he can rest. At the same time, this place can be regarded as his territory, and living here temporarily gives him a strong sense of security.

The call was connected very quickly. He didn't even dare to sit on the chair. He held the receiver with both hands and carefully placed it to his ear. "This is the director's office. This is Blue."

"Did you watch the news today?"

"Such a big thing has happened, and you can still sit still now?"

"I see you don't want to do this anymore!"

As soon as Mayor Williams opened his mouth, Chief Blue was completely dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
