He had not been very familiar with this younger cousin and had been quite worried that he’d run into so lodramatic trouble.
But it turned out to be just delayed feedback.
Seeing that Brian remained silent,
Fooly waved his hands sowhat awkwardly, "Let’s not talk about Maria anymore. Once she suffers a setback, she’ll co to her senses."
Brian shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Normally, those with real standing wouldn’t care for Maria. Nine out of ten tis, it’s because of that they’re interested in her. Maria isn’t really stupid; I suspect soone wants to use her identity to do sothing irrational."
Hearing this, Fooly showed a worried expression, "I’ll call her back imdiately!"
He cared for his sister and was also worried that because of her, he might end up harming Brian.
Brian took out his phone, "No need to go to that trouble, just a phone call will suffice."
He made a call to his security departnt - Black Watch.
Less than half an hour had passed.
A black armored transport vehicle arrived outside Fooly’s villa.
The two n did not disturb the two won inside who were deep in conversation and went straight to the outside of the villa.
The vehicle door opened.
Several fully-ard soldiers, showing only their eyes, threw a man with a bruised nose and swollen face, looking quite wretched, at the feet of Brian and Fooly.
The guy looked like he’d had a rough ti.
His expression was also cloudy, as if he was high.
The leading squad captain respectfully said to Brian, "Boss, this is Herb Pat, a mber of a minor family. Under the influence of a truth serum, we’ve interrogated him and found out the reason he approached Miss Maria."
As he spoke, he handed a small recording device to Brian.
In front of Fooly, Brian played the device.
The Pat family... to be honest, Brian could hardly rember ever hearing of them; he took a good while to recall that it seed to be a small family business dealing in brokerage, helping with exchanges of interests and resources, while also handling dirty affairs.
Essentially, they were a public-use black glove with a broad network of contacts.
Slightly more substantial forces used the Pat family like a toilet for disposing of trash, never taking such small fries seriously.
The on-duty security had asked in great detail.
Under the influence of the truth serum, Herb confessed everything.
Herb’s approach to Maria was indeed because of Brian.
At the ti of his maneuver, Brian was publicly nothing more than a man living off the Adams family.
Granted, he had already beco a Third Level employee of the NW organization, with a promising future.
But he did not have the degree of clout he has now.
The other party was simply looking for a casual investnt.
It didn’t matter whether it was successful or not.
Even if he hadn’t used Maria to hook up with Brian, sleeping with a beautiful woman would have been a win for him; he would have treated it as a sporting conquest.
It wasn’t just Herb who had similar ideas; it’s just that he made his move more quickly.
Herb was even unaware of the recent developnts in the upper echelons of Los Angeles.
He also didn’t know that Brian had now beco the true master of the entire Greater Los Angeles area.
The news hadn’t spread to such minor characters yet.
Otherwise, he would surely be ecstatic.
As for Maria not attending the family gathering this ti, it was purely because she herself was afraid that Herb would learn her background, so she deliberately didn’t tell him. Otherwise, once Herb heard that Brian would also be there, he would have rushed over on his own accord.
Maria didn’t know at all that Herb had long been aware of her background; she thought she had found true love, soone who could help her escape her original family situation...
This turned out to be...
Knowing the cause and effect, Fooly felt a bit sad.
Brian was also sowhat speechless.
He waved to his subordinates, "Take him away and bury him."
Brian had originally wanted to discuss his uncle’s matter with Fooly and his sister.
Now it seed unnecessary.
Whether his uncle wished to be reborn with his mories was up to him.
After saying goodbye to Fooly,
Brian returned to his place where Susan wrapped around him like a snake.
Stung by Maria’s situation,
She now wanted a baby too.
After so toil,
Brian closed his eyes and entered the Blissful Heart Domain.
