Chapter 665: Unexpected
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
Ryan Sulfose, one of the mayoral candidates of Edland City.
While being different when compared to the controversial Synde Augen, Ryan Sulfose was not only young but much more charming and influential.
Each ti he gave a speech, the audience would reply to him with the loudest applause and cheers.
The team that gathered to serve him was because of his infectious charm as well.
When the morning news delivered the ssage that Synde Augen died in the explosion of Winchester House, Sulfose’s team hugged each other in cheers.
Without Synde Augen, the biggest rival, Ryan Sulfose would surely be elected as the new mayor of Edland City!
The whole Edland City would develop further for the better!
As for celebrating soone’s death news, well it wasn’t their funeral yet, was it?
"Let’s proceed with our plan, continue to work on the script for tonight’s speech. Rember, we must show our grievances for our old rival Synde Augen."
Ryan Sulfose stood up in the eting room and told his team calmly.
His team who was present in the room was instantly infected by his calmness and replied in their own voice.
When everyone left the eting room, Sulfose sat back down. His face was expressing heavy distress.
"Mr. Sulfose, are you worried that your actions will be exposed?"
A sudden voice sounded behind the mayoral candidate.
Sulfose stood up in surprise and turned behind for a look.
A young casually dressed man who was not by all ans handso but clean looking was standing behind him. The young man with energetic eyes lifted up the chair that was toppled by Sulfose’s sudden woke and looked at him with a smile.
The young man looked surprisingly at ease.
"Who are you?" Sulfose asked in a heavy tone.
"A nobody, a man of power like you will surely take no notice of but if it’s possible... I wish I’d never known you," Kieran said slowly.
While Kieran was speaking, he was sensing the movents around his environnt. He needed to make sure that he caught any unusual movents in his ears during the confrontation.
Although Kieran had taken note of the security and bodyguards’ positions when he entered the office, the mayoral candidate here had no intentions of making a fuss out of the eting.
Though, who could have confird whether the candidate’s act was on purpose to numb Kieran’s senses.
The fully ard assault mbers left quite an impression in Kieran’s mind. Despite the fact that he took care of them with ease, Kieran knew best about himself how much of a threat those fully ard assault squads were.
If he was surrounded by them and was forced to face countless gun barrels firing, grenades and rockets blasted at him, with [Fusion Heart] sealed and none of his previous equipnt, he wouldn’t have any ans to resist them.
So, Kieran quickly pinned Sulfose down directly preventing further unwanted actions.
He grabbed Sulfose’s arm and twisted it to his back, after slightly exerting his strength, Sulfose was pinned down on the eting table by the irresistible force.
"You are one of Augen’s? Even if you kill , I won’t let you live freely! Not only do you have the copy of our deals, but I also have them too! I’ll make sure you lose all your reputation and standing!"
Sulfose growled fiercely while being pinned down on the table.
"Trades? Copies?"
The sudden new terms caused Kieran to frown. The words that were on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back hard, he went along with the flow and asked, "Where is the copy?"
"Do you think I will tell you? Go back and tell Mr. Synde Augen, I will finish the deal between us even if he has altered the initial plan. I’ll make sure that I will lose all reputation and standing without being traced and push him to the mayor’s position but... I hope to lose my reputations, not my life!"
"He did pay but it isn’t to buy my life!" Sulfose explained clearly.
Kieran’s brows furrowed even harder.
Things had gone the unexpected way and fast!
Synde Augen’s biggest rival and competition was his collaborator?
From what Ryan Sulfose said, Synde Augen had already gotten a certain amount of control on him as well, even though he was voicing his threats.
Kieran even picked up the weakness and compromising aning between the words.
"Could it be a lie?" Kieran thought.
As the gears in his mind spun, Kieran reford his words and further questioned Sulfose.
"Of course it isn’t to buy your life, as long as you don’t add on the unnecessary conditions..."
Kieran purposely prolonged his tone.
Sulfose honestly acknowledged that there was a copy of the "deal" between him and Synde Augen. The copy might be in voice recording form or a videotape.
Since they did it the first ti, will there be a second?
One would never complain that he had too many protective asures.
There was a high chance that Sulfose would make another copy.
’He altered the initial plans.’
What plan was that? Or in another sense, what affected the alteration of the plan?
The only thing that could possibly alter the plans was the news of Synde Augen’s death, other than that, Kieran couldn’t think of anything else.
Judging from the secret deals between Synde Augen and Ryan Sulfose, if sothing suddenly happened to the forr, the latter would surely be anxious and would surely confirm with the forr. So, in order to add another layer of insurance, it wasn’t out of the blue if Sulfose decided to make an extra move.
"Certainly not! The recordings from this morning are in the safe at my office, I can hand it to you! I swear I don’t an anything else with my actions!" Sulfose assured Kieran.
Kieran let go of Sulfose and followed him from the eting room to his office.
Sulfose then took out a phone from his safe.
Kieran kept Sulfose under his sight throughout the process and made sure he could take him down imdiately if any unusual movents were spotted.
Though, until Sulfose handed the phone to Kieran and allowed him to make sure the recordings were inside, Sulfose seed cooperative enough.
’What happened? This isn’t part of our deal!’
’Change of plans, I can’t be in front of the public now, my representative will take my spot instead.’
’If you do...’
’Pak!’
It was a short conversation but was hung up in less than three seconds.
One of the voices belonged to Ryan Sulfose and the other obviously was Synde Augen.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Kieran slid the mobile phone into his pocket and took a step back. His body almost rged with the shadow and swiftly disappeared.
As the sound of the door closing, Sulfose limped down on his chair when he saw the shadow disappearing in front of his eyes.
Monts later, the man of power seed to have thought of sothing, he stood up from his chair and crawled further away from that piece of shadow.
He wasn’t as charming as he presented himself to be in front of others anymore.
Kieran who stood in the shadows saw Sulfose leave his office in a panic, calling for his bodyguard.
Kieran would never leave just like that because of his cautious attitude. He wanted to see how Sulfose behaved in his absence to allow him to judge more.
From how Sulfose was acting, it seed like he didn’t lie, which ans the explosion in Winchester House was a self-conducted act by Synde Augen himself?
Why would he do that?
To avoid sothing or person? An organization? Is that why he faked his death?
Or...
Before the old questions were answered, new ones popped up.
Kieran beca a little grumpy while being baffled by doubts in his heart.
He swiftly shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
Then, he headed towards St. Reid Hospital because the scenery outside was slowly turning dark.
