He still wants to know why.
Enrico’s eyes were gloomy. Seeing this, Rafael was completely enraged and grabbed a thin-necked black vase on the table and was about to smash it on the ground.
The moment he raised it, a rose fell from it. Seeing this, Enrico’s body stiffened and he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Maybe I’m going to die.”
Upon hearing this, Rafael’s gaze trembled and his hand, which was raised high, did not drop. He stared blankly at Enrico, “What did you say”
Why is a good person going to die
“She probably learned from some source that I was dying, and someone offered to heal me in exchange for her disappearance and chaos in Country A.”
Enrico sat there, staring at the vase in his hands, and said, “Only the Folsom family would do this.”
“The Folsom family” Rafael trembled.
This the Folsom family may have been almost completely slaughtered back then, so they hid their whereabouts. Such a large family, they just couldn’t find out which country they were in.
It’s like a time bomb, always on the verge of exploding in Country A.
Enrico looked up, giving the vase in his hands a cold stare.
Rafael was stunned, and after setting the vase down on the table, he thought for a moment and said, “So Paige… gave up the slums for you”
He was very shocked. He still remembered how Paige refused to confess when she was locked up in Gangnam Hall. She never considered being a slum dweller a crime.
“She left me a clue, probably wanting me to keep an eye on the current situation in Country A for her.” Enrico lowered his eyes and looked at the red ribbon in his hands.
Hearing this, Rafael paced two steps in place and said, ‘Then this means that Paige has a way to find a cure for you, but she can’t go to the slums right now, so she can only rely on you to keep the situation stable.”
“Hm,’ Enrico nodded.
Hm my ass.
Rafael was about to scold him, “Since you know what she meant, why are you still acting so recklessly”
“Then what should I do” Enrico sneered, his eyes coldly looking at him, “Lift the blockade and help you win the election”
Of course.
“This is the best solution, isn’t it the solution Paige left behind” Rafael said.
“If it’s the solution she left behind, do I have to listen to her” Enrico said, “Where do you think she’ll find a cure for me”
A cure…
Since it has been analysed that it is a trap set by the Folsom family, of course we have to go to the Folsom family’s territory.
Rafael understood, “You are worried that something will happen to Paige in the Folsom family’s territory, so you deliberately fulfilled the Folsom family’s wish So that the Folsom family will not kill her”
“…”
“You’re being reckless. You should trust Paige. If she dares to go, it means she has a way to get out unscathed.”
Rafael stood there staring at him, “On the contrary, you, you’re being reckless now, disrupting her plans and affecting the reconstruction of the slums. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll come back to you and fight to the death”
“Then she’ll have to come back to me to fight to the death,” Enrico interrupted him with a gloomy face.
“…”
Rafael paused.
Enrico withdrew his legs and stood up from the table. His hawk-like eyes stared straight at him, and he said, word by word, “Or, President Rafael, can you guarantee with your life that she will come back safely”
“…”
“If you can, I will lift the blockade outside right now,” Enrico asked, staring straight at him.
Rafael’s expression on his face froze a little, and he said, “You should trust her…”
“Trust Huh,”
Enrico sneered, “Believe in her and she’ll come back alive If she dies out there, if she’s injured or disabled, do I still have to believe that God can give her a new body”
“…”
Rafael was completely speechless, standing there looking at Enrico, unable to say anything for a long time.
“No more words Then go,” said Enrico.
Rafael was not willing to just leave, and continued to persuade him, “Paige has always been very capable. You’re messing with Country A just because of this extremely low possibility. Do you know how many people have died in the riots outside”
“I’m not as righteous as you guys!”
Enrico stared at her gloomily and roared out in a low voice, “I, Enrico, am a madman! I’ll do anything, I deserve to die, so just let her come back! Don’t save me!”
Let him die.
His death will be clean for everyone!
After yelling, a bloody scarlet color appeared in the corners of his eyes.
“…”
Rafael looked at him in disbelief.
This time, Enrico was completely panicked.
He was forcing Paige not to go and not to save him.
The two men stood face-to-face across a desk, and the phone resting on the table suddenly vibrated, accompanied by a ringtone.
Enrico lowered his eyes, and the phone screen displayed Unknown number.
His eyes flickered in surprise, and his hands, which were tied with a red ribbon, hurriedly reached for the phone. However, his hands trembled, and the phone fell from his hands onto the desktop.
Rafael looked at him in disbelief. Enrico’s hands kept shaking, as if the phone weighed a thousand catties.
“Tell Jaden to come in.”
Enrico’s breathing was all messed up, and his voice trembled. He reached for the phone again, and when he saw that Rafael was not moving, he shouted, “Go!”
Enrico.
I’m a president! Not your subordinate!
Rafael looked at the panic in his eyes and didn’t say anything, turning and walking out the door.
Jaden had already received instructions and was waiting. Upon hearing this, he immediately rushed into the president’s office with a few professional subordinates, pulled out the frosted glass coffee table, and placed several top-of-the-line devices on it.
Jaden crouched down, put on his headphones, and gave Enrico an OK sign.
Rafael stood by watching.
Enrico had already stepped away from his desk and was standing in the center, his eyes drawn away from Jaden before he put the still-vibrating phone to his ear and pressed the answer button.
…
Paige sat in the caravan in Eastdown, D-Country, her slender fingers gripping the phone, listening to the man’s low breathing inside.
The prolonged silence made her unsure of how to start.
She knew he must blame her.
She licked her dry lips. The weather in D-land was dry and cold. It was only her third day here, and her lips were already chapped.
It felt faintly painful as she licked them. It was like a competition she didn’t speak, and there was no sound from the other end either. They just stood there facing each other.
“Enrico…”
Paige couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke first.
The moment she spoke, she sensed Enrico exhale, as if a tight string had finally been loosened.
Then she heard Enrico’s voice, cold to the bone, “You still know to call me”
“Well, I’m afraid you’ll worry about me,” she said.
“Huh,” Enrico laughed over there, a very sarcastic laugh, as if to say, you still know
Paige ignored the hint of sarcasm, knowing that she was in the wrong, and said, “I’m fine, not only am I fine, but things are going really well right now, and I’ll be back in A-country in the shortest time.”
She reported her safety to him first.
