Rocco’s wrath descended upon them, causing Theodore to tremble in fear and forget his pain momentarily. The surrounding people were silent, bowing their heads and avoiding Rocco’s imposing presence.
Even Emanuel, the chief of police, was taken aback and quickly ordered his men to disarm the gunmen.
He silently breathed a sigh of relief that he didn’t curse or hit Flynn earlier; otherwise, it would have been too late to turn back now.
“Mr. Brooks, you better explain everything truthfully without leaving out a single detail if you want me to give you a chance,” Rocco said coldly.
Theodore’s heart sank as he knew he had lost today.
In order to seek leniency from Rocco, he admitted that he had conspired with the Powell family to take over Orco Real Estate.
Travis and others gasped in shock at this revelation; they never expected Theodore would extend his reach into their territory as well.
Rocco’s face turned even uglier than before as he raged, “You scoundrel! As an official appointed by the people for their benefit, how dare you plot against them? You’re worse than bandits!”
“I planned on visiting Mr. Clark’s company today but instead found it sealed off by your orders! Are you trying to humiliate me?” Rocco continued angrily.
“Governor… I didn’t know about your visitation plans for Orco Real Estate; otherwise I wouldn’t have done such a thing!” Theodore pleaded with a bitter expression on his face.
“So what are you saying? If I hadn’t planned on visiting Orco Real Estate today, then it would be okay for you to seize their property?” Rocco asked incredulously.
Upon hearing this question from Rocco, Theodore became crestfallen, his eyes filled with despair.
“Frederick, you damaged Orco Real Estate’s herbal medicine plantation. You not only need compensation but also need repair all damages caused, and then apologize. Do you have any objections?” Rocco asked Frederick sternly.
“N-no objections…” Frederick nodded repeatedly while apologizing profusely towards Flynn, “Mr. Clark, this is my mistake. I’m sorry.”
Flynn ignored him completely and nodded towards Scarlet, making her responsible for handling compensation matters instead.
Turning back towards the Resource Bureau officials, Rocco ordered, “Take Mr. Theodore away first, get him treated, and then send him over for investigation at Commission for Discipline Inspection!”
Finally, Rocco approached Flynn politely, “Mr. Clark, I never thought things would turn out like this. I failed my duty allowing such parasites like these appear in Shipmeda.”
Theodore’s face turned red with anger. He couldn’t believe that after years of embezzlement, this small place of Niarak was where everything fell apart. And what shocked him even more was Scarlet’s words were true that the Governor really did plan on visiting Orco Real Estate.
That was just a newly established small company!
Frederick was extremely frustrated.
He had originally thought that he could kill two birds with one stone by dealing with Flynn and getting his hands on the land, but he didn’t expect the Governor to intervene and even visit Orco Real Estate.
How could Flynn have such a big reputation that even the Governor knew about him?
Moreover, even if it was their fault, Flynn took such violent measures to beat them up like this, and even did it in front of the Governor.
The Governor shouldn’t have given Flynn a good face!
However, after learning the truth, the Governor didn’t say anything and became polite to Flynn.
But now he didn’t have time to think about these things. He needed to hurry up and go to the hospital for bandaging; otherwise he will definitely die from excessive blood loss.
After Frederick finished compensating Scarlet, with his subordinates’ support, he limped into his car carrying seven or eight coffins with a digger. He fled Ponocord Bay like an escapee.
The scene was both funny and embarrassing.
The resource bureau people were more annoyed. Just now they were jumping around following Theodore arrogantly like they were God himself. Now they all became timid turtles supporting Theodore as they left the scene.
“Flynn, even the Governor has helped us get justice; you should thank him!” Scarlet saw that everything was resolved and pulled at Flynn’s sleeve quietly said so.
“You did well.” Flynn nodded slightly towards the governor while feeling unhappy inside himself not only towards him but also Barney too.
From the attitudes of Corbin and Tristan yesterday and this morning, Barney didn’t completely believe that he could handle the King of Poison.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called Corbin to ask for his help with Rose, showing a disregard for their opinions and a lack of respect towards himself.
If he hadn’t broken the Wong family’s geomancy arrangement, Corbin and the others would probably still have an arrogant attitude.
Barney claimed to have solved the supplier and distributor issues for Energence Pharmaceuticals, but did he really do it on his own?
If it wasn’t for a matter involving the Governor, Flynn would have insisted that Theodore remove the seal with his mouth.
What?
He did a good job?
Everyone was simply going crazy!
How can this guy speak like that?
He was actually praising the Governor instead of being grateful!
And in a manner that praised a subordinate?
Scarlet almost couldn’t believe it. This guy was so speechless, she didn’t even know what to say about him.
If she said he was pretending, he did have some skills.
If she said he was serious, how can he have the audacity to speak to the Governor like that?
The Governor frowned, about to reprimand Flynn, but then remembered the purpose of this visit and waved his hand, signaling to let it go.
The shocked crowd was even more astonished to see that the Governor didn’t care about Flynn’s unreasonable behavior.
Ignoring the reactions of the others, Flynn turned to Scarlet and said, “I have something to discuss with the Governor. Ask the employees to go back, and you can wait for me in the car.”
Scarlet knew it must be related to the King of Poison. Politely bidding farewell to the other officials, she led the employees of Orco Real Estate down the mountain.
This incident was too dramatic, and the one most harmed was undoubtedly Theodore. Not only was his position in jeopardy, but if evidence of his abuse of power was found, he would likely face imprisonment.
Frederick was also unlucky. He had thought victory was within his grasp, but he was unexpectedly beaten up by Flynn, nearly losing his life. In the end, he had to apologize and compensate to settle the matter.
After the Governor instructed Emanuel’s subordinates to leave, only Flynn, Travis, and Emanuel remained at the scene.
“I came here this time not only to inspect Ponocord Bay but also for an important matter related to the King of Poison. According to reliable information, he has come to Niarak.”
“Previously, my father had already asked Mr. Clark to deal with the King of Poison. Both of you must cooperate fully with him!”
“And it is crucial to keep it confidential. Do you understand?” Rocco said seriously to Travis and Emanuel.
Upon hearing this, Travis and Emanuel were stunned for a moment.
Then they took a sharp breath.
The King of Poison, an internationally wanted criminal!
He had committed numerous bloody crimes in Ostrad, taking the lives of over a hundred people. He was an absolute ruthless villain.
Moreover, it was said that he practiced both medicine and martial arts, and his methods of poisoning were extremely cruel. He easily wiped out entire families and was very difficult to deal with.
This devil had actually come to Niarak!
Rocco looked at their expressions and said sternly, “You understand the seriousness of this matter. I don’t want any leaks. Otherwise, you will be the ones to answer for it!”
“Understood!” Travis and Emanuel quickly agreed.
Seeing them nodding vigorously, Rocco nodded and turned to ask Flynn, “Can I trust you in this matter?”
“Are you just like Barney, not trusting me?” Flynn furrowed his brow upon hearing this and said indifferently, “Listen carefully, I’m not killing the King of Poison because of Barney; I’m also looking for him myself!”
“Whether you believe in my abilities or not has nothing to do with me, and I have no need to prove anything to you!”
Upon hearing this, Travis was immediately taken aback.
This guy was too rude. Barney was the Governor’s father, and he actually addressed him by name and spoke to the Governor with such an attitude.
Who as this guy anyway?
Even Roman’s master wouldn’t use such a tone!
It was as if he didn’t care about the Spencer family at all, offending them without hesitation.
Flynn was too arrogant and self-centered!
