While Arthur enjoyed a quiet evening, so people in Vera City couldn't rest easy.
Not long after evidence of Erick's cris was uncovered, Police Headquarters in Brussels sent a high-ranking police officer to Vera. He will take over the leadership of the police here and lead the investigation into Erick's case.
This made General Jas so dizzy that his head wanted to explode.
First he was suddenly asked by the Armstrong Family to find a thief and he didn't even know what was stolen.
The problem was that they pressured and threatened him to do more.
Now, his son suddenly has an accident. For him, it was indeed an accident, a very fatal accident.
However, as a man who has been around the black and white world, his son's fate would not be enough to make him sad.
He only had one concern, and that was himself. What if the evidence of his cri was also uncovered.
This was a problem that made him always wonder if the enemy had evidence of his cris.
At this point, he found all his friends rejecting his phone calls.
While he was confused, two people suddenly visited his residence. They were Owen and Logan.
Hoping for hope from them, General Jas who was still wearing his military uniform hurriedly t them.
"Mr. Owen, Mr. Logan, welco..." He welcod them.
Unfortunately, despite trying to be friendly, but due to his panic, he could not speak in a pleasant tone.
Owen looked at his face and smiled coldly, thinking that even a General would be like a mouse in such a difficult situation.
Of course, it was not easy to bring down a Two-Star General, but when the evidence of a cri was too clear, even a Two-Star General would not be able to do anything about it.
Under ordinary circumstances, he could order his subordinates to fight his enemies because in the military, superior orders were absolute. Next he just needs to accuse his enemies by saying that they want to do sothing that harms the country. That is the reason why military people are so feared.
However, when he is already labeled as a criminal, it is impossible for his subordinates to obey except those who have indeed committed cris with him.
"It seems to be a bad night for you, General Jas," Owen said with a faint smile.
He had just experienced misfortune, so seeing others experiencing the sa, he could not help but feel happy. This concept did not only exist with commoners, but elites like them as well.
"You see, it is indeed a bad night," Jas replied with an expression like he wanted to curse the world. "Although sotis I think about falling, but this ti it was completely out of control, I don't even understand what exactly happened."
He paused, glancing at Logan then into Owen's eyes.
"You ca right at this mont, is there sothing you want to say to ?" he asked.
"How about we sit down before we talk," Owen replied.
Rembering that they were still standing, Jas quickly invited them to sit down and ordered the waiters to fetch the drinks.
Once seated, Owen took out a brown cigar, placed it between his lips and lit the front.
Phew!
He exhaled the smoke and it flew towards Jas.
The latter was naturally annoyed because usually even this guy was polite in front of him.
"Do you know what happened before your son was arrested?" asked Owen.
"I know!" Jas nodded.
Of course, he had already done an in-depth investigation on this, such as where his son was, what he had done.
Even he was already suspicious of Arthur and Amanda, but he couldn't co to a conclusion.
"Arthur, he's weird, isn't he?" Owen said, making Jas narrow his eyes.
"I've heard about the military being suspicious of him for almost crippling their Evolver."
"You know that much." Jas was quite surprised because it was top secret and it was taken care of by a very powerful plus very nationalistic General.
"Do you know, we suspect he's the one who stole our stuff," Owen said, surprising Jas once again.
Ever since the gold went missing, Owen kept thinking about who the thief was and how it disappeared without a trace. Even the Evolver guarding the gold vanished as if he had instantly disappeared from this world.
As he continued to speculate, he finally suspected Arthur.
From then on, he was sure that it was him.
Now, he visits Jas with a plan, a plan that he thinks will work.
"What exactly did he steal?" Jas asked. It was a question he always asked, but Owen never answered.
This ti, he thought Owen would answer it. He wasn't stupid, just by looking at Owen's expression, he knew that he had a plan with how to use it.
In a desperate situation like this, even she could just follow his plan if it could solve her problem.
"25 Tons of gold," Owen replied calmly, and deliberately ntioned the highest estimate of the amount of gold.
Hearing that, Jas' eyes opened wide.
He was a General and did a lot of business. However, even he did not have that much gold, certainly not even one percent of it.
"Are you serious? Where did you guys get so much gold?" he asked again.
The Armstrong family might be very rich, but that was only because they controlled the financial system. Gold is a different matter.
Owen just smiled in response, not answering the question.
"Now you're worried about the evidence of your cris being uncovered, right?" Owen continued.
This ti, Jas didn't answer, just looked at him with eyes that had beco rather cold, waiting for his plan.
"If you don't want another accident to happen, I suggest taking action right now. Attack the boy, then kill him. Make sure you use great strength because that boy has already killed four Mossad Evolvers."
"What?" Jas imdiately stood up, showing disbelief.
What made him distrustful was the information said by Jas.
"I know you're skeptical, but we've always suspected that the boy is a magus, soone who can use powers that humans can't without the use of certain drugs."
"This..." Jas took a deep breath and did not expect that his son would co into conflict with soone like that.
"Magi are powerful, but that doesn't an they can't die," Owen continued.
"With your various military weapons, what can't you kill?" Owen began to provoke Jas.
"And if you succeed, not only will your problem be solved, you'll probably also get a magic thod out of him."
Pa!
Jas patted his thigh, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll do it now!"
However, right after he said that, a soldier suddenly walked in, holding a cell phone with a panicked face.
"G-General, this is bad, we're in serious trouble," he said, which instantly made Jas' heart race.
Even Owen changed his expression to gloomy.
Little did they know that the mastermind who exposed Erick's cris was Rose who lived with a group of rcenaries who had once been special forces.
They knew the workings of the military very well, so they knew that after Erick was caught, Jas would likely take dangerous actions. Therefore, right this very night, Rose also spread the evidence of Jas' cris.
She just slowed it down a bit to ss with Jas' mind for a while.
