Chapter 464: 173, turning the whole world upside down!_1

All three were silent, and the atmosphere in the office became tense and oppressive.

Elg and Hamilton’s expressions changed slightly, already contemplating whether to call in security to detain Hester on the spot.

With the evidence they held, even if they arrested Hester directly, the American public would have nothing to say.

Hester didn’t look calm either, as he was actually very nervous inside.

Threatening the third-in-command and a former Duke in someone else’s territory was akin to playing with fire.

If it were the old him, even with great boldness, he wouldn’t dare make such a disrespectful move.

In plain terms, his biggest reliance was Lin Chen, but he didn’t fully know the extent of Lin Chen’s influence and whether he could contend with the two men before him.

The silence lasted for a full minute, and just as Johnson Hester was growing restless and about to excuse himself to leave, Elg’s voice rang out again, “Hester, I admire your courage, and I’m also very curious, who gave you such confidence?”

“You don’t really think any scandal or negative news could affect us, do you?”

“I’ll give you one minute, either reveal who’s behind you, or spend the rest of your life in prison.”

“Heh.”

Having said that,

Elg lifted his wrist, glanced at the expensive, diamond-studded watch on his pale wrist, and added, “You have 55 seconds left.”

As time slowly ticked away, under the pressure of a formidable presence, fine beads of sweat appeared on Johnson Hester’s forehead.

Mrs. Hamilton sat in her chair, arms crossed, looking at Hester as if she were watching a prisoner on death row.

40 seconds.

20 seconds.

10 seconds.

With the last 10 seconds remaining, Miguel slowly raised his head, his face expressionless, and waved his hand, “It seems necessary to teach the Johnson family how to revere power!”

“Mrs. Hamilton, call in Chief Wiesel, tell him the negotiation has failed.”

Mrs. Hamilton pressed the red button on the desk without expression and said nothing more.

Johnson Hester’s body began to tremble slightly; he had never dreamt that these two were genuinely planning to take action against him here.

Fear uncontrollably welled up from within him, and he was almost unable to restrain himself from uttering Lin Chen’s name.

Because he was very clear that if things got serious, he was no match for the two individuals before him.

No matter how much money he had, it was trivial in the face of power.

With or without a legitimate charge, fabricating one would still lead to spending the rest of his life in prison.

Click.

The door to the office was pushed open, and a plump police chief in his fifties walked in.

“I…I’ll say…I’ll tell you everything you want to know…” finally, Johnson Hester caved under the pressure.

However,

The police chief didn’t stop in front of him, didn’t even glance at him, but hurried to the desk, lowering his voice, “Mrs. Hamilton, something terrible has happened, lots of negative news about you and your husband have appeared online.”

Negative news?

Heh.

When Mrs. Hamilton first heard this, she felt no tension, rather, she wanted to laugh.

What a joke,

When had there been a shortage of negative news about her on the internet?

But the chief’s next statement made Mrs. Hamilton and her former Duke husband feel as though they had fallen into a freezer, a chill running through them.

“Among this negative news, it includes things you and your husband did on that ship!”

That ship?

What?

How could that be possible…

Who could have gotten those kinds of videos and photos?

Mrs. Hamilton didn’t dare to imagine the consequences if those things became known to the public.

Elg could no longer care for Johnson Hester in the office, and asked urgently, “On which website, which damned media is spreading the false news?”

The police chief’s face changed subtly, lowering his voice, “Almost all websites are reporting it, not only about you and your wife, but there are also many other big shots and officials named in the news.”

“Moreover… about the two of you, there are other negative stories, as well as some emails, and videos and images of family members doing drugs!”

This…

The more they heard, the more alarmed they became, exchanging glances, they both understood that the most important thing was to figure out what was happening.

Pursuing Johnson Hester had lost all meaning.

Elg ordered sternly, “Take this guy away, I want him out of my sight!”

“Yes!” The police chief approached the bewildered Hester, his face stern, “Come with me!”

Hester instinctively took a half-step back, “Where are you taking me?”

“I’m telling you… I am with the Liberal Party…”

Before he could finish speaking, the police chief forcibly escorted him out of the office.

The soundproofing of the room was excellent; it wasn’t until he reached the hallway that Johnson Hester realized the entire palace was abuzz, everyone working as if facing a great enemy.

At first glance, it seemed as if the apocalypse had come.

Not only that,

The palace was now filled with many CIA intelligence operatives, donned in uniforms, constantly dealing with all sorts of issues.
