Chapter 529: Findelter

After Dodd was eliminated, who would be the biggest winner?

John, Brian, and McCaul were initially startled but then their eyes lit up.

"Are you saying, Jason?"

McCaul tentatively asked.

"There’s no conclusion yet, just a direction, and besides, it’s hard to guarantee that the final result will be what we expect!"

"In fact..."

"There is a way to solve the problem once and for all!"

Jason said, checking the reactions of the three men.

"What way?"

Of the four men, apart from Jason, he was now the one most eager to see the matter concluded.

Otherwise, his daughter Kemi would always be in danger.

Thinking of the potential danger to his daughter, Brian’s heart was filled with anxiety.

"We can’t solve the problem, but we can solve the person who poses the problem."

"As long as all the people related to this are taken out, all the problems will be easily solved," Jason stated.

John instinctively nodded when Jason finished speaking.

He agreed with this approach.

Clean and decisive was his style.

Brian frowned slightly but then also nodded.

Although it wasn’t his style, for his daughter’s sake, he was willing to try changing his ways.

McCaul, on the other hand, kept shaking his head.

"Hey, guys, don’t do this."

"We can’t do this!"

"We have other ways to verify Jason’s thinking—how about I get moving right now? I guarantee that within three days, I’ll have everything investigated clearly." ????B?S

McCaul looked at Jason, John, and Brian.

His principles made it impossible for him to accept this approach, even though it was the most direct and convenient.

Moreover, he couldn’t refuse outright.

Because he worried about angering the three men before him, and that was a consequence he couldn’t afford to bear.

As for walking away?

Even less likely!

Who knew what the three guys might do after he left?

So, with a pleading look and a promise, he spoke.

Under McCaul’s gaze, John hesitated before turning to Jason.

The method had been Jason’s idea, and he had approved it.

According to the rules, the only one who could refuse now was Jason.

Brian felt the same.

Certain rules in the underworld are always so similar, even when in different factions.

"It’s up to you!"

Jason said.

Jason didn’t mind someone taking the initiative to conduct the investigation.

He wasn’t some masked murderer, how could he possibly take everyone down?

His earlier speech was merely a probe.

Just like he was agreeing to McCaul now.

Trust?

It can’t be built in a moment.

It may require countless tests.

McCaul, who had no idea of Jason’s true intentions, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when Jason agreed.

"I’ll get moving right now."

"Take care of Telly for me."

Having said that, McCaul walked towards the door to the bedroom cum study and knocked.

Kemi, who was eavesdropping behind the door, was startled.

However, the two girls promptly acted as if nothing was wrong and opened the door.

"Telly, I need to go take care of some things, and you’ll be staying here for the time being."

Experience tales with

"If you need anything, you can turn to Jason."

"He can be trusted," McCaul said decisively.

John had investigated Jason, and he naturally had done so as well.

Among Jason’s many labels, his reputation for keeping promises was reassuring.

"Alright, I got it."

"You... be careful," Telly said, her eyes flashing with hesitation and reluctance but ultimately nodding firmly.

She didn’t want to cause any trouble for McCaul.

Kemi immediately took Telly’s hand.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be with you," Kemi reassured the younger Telly.

Seeing this, McCaul completely relaxed, nodded again to the three men, and left, his footsteps fading quickly.

"What do we do next?"

After signaling Kemi and Telly to return to the room with his eyes, Brian asked Jason and John.

Kemi hesitated to close the door; she wanted to hear what her father and Jason were talking about.

Alas, the rooms were too well soundproofed.

Just a door apart, and she couldn’t hear anything.

What’s the point of such good soundproofing in an apartment?

Kemi thought indignantly.

Then she noticed Jason and John staring at her.

Their gazes were indifferent, serene, especially Jason’s, which held a pressure she found inexplicably daunting.

"Kemi?"

At that moment Brian raised his voice.

"Got it," Kemi replied reluctantly and closed the door.

But just as the door was about to shut completely, Kemi stuck her head out and stuck her tongue out at Jason.

Then the door closed with a ’click’.

Watching the closed door, Kemi huffed, arms crossed in front of her chest, while Telly came over carrying two cups and handed one to Kemi.

Kemi immediately gestured a thumbs up.

The two girls, holding cups to the door, eavesdropped on the conversation outside.

"Sorry, I was too busy with work before, and Kemi has been living with my ex-wife," Brian apologized to Jason and John.

"You got divorced?" John suddenly asked.

"Back then, I didn’t understand the importance of family,"

"Now I deeply regret it,"

"So, I’ve been trying to make amends," Brian said with a soft sigh.

"At least, you still have a chance to make amends."
