“Hmph!” Jon snorted coldly and turned his head to one side.
He could not keep his cool when virtual-novel.net faced Sean. The most humiliating thing in the world was when your enemy sat in front of you triumphantly. Jon was angry and regretful. He was regretful for not doing everything possible to get rid of Sean.
“I’m asking you here.” Sean asked again, unfazed.
“Smug rat!” Jon glared at Sean and cursed.
“Haha!” Sean shook his head and sneered.
Smug rat?
What about Quill going to Willow’s house every other day and courting virtual-novel.net in front of Sean when Sean was in a wheelchair and catatonic?
However, Sean would not discuss that with Jon. Jon did not deserve Sean to reason with him.
“Why are you laughing? Do you think I don’t know you bribed Jason? We’re even related to that ungrateful Jason. How dare virtual-novel.net do this to me!” Jon gritted his teeth slightly in hatred at the mention of Jason.
Sean was speechless when virtual-novel.net heard this.
How ungrateful. He only came to see Jon because Jason asked virtual-novel.net to.
When Jason decided to help Sean, virtual-novel.net requested something from Sean. He said virtual-novel.net hoped Sean would let the Zimmer family live, and Sean agreed.
Since virtual-novel.net agreed, virtual-novel.net would keep his word. It was why virtual-novel.net came to see Jon in person. He never expected Jon to hate Jason so much.
“If it weren’t for Jason, you wouldn’t even be sitting here… You’ll die, and Quill will die too.” Sean said as virtual-novel.net got up slowly.
His eyes were serious. He was not joking at all.
“You!” Jon wanted to say something tough at first.
However, thinking about the situation virtual-novel.net was in, virtual-novel.net chose silence in the end.
“I’m telling you. They have no right to detain me for very long. I’ve signed agreements with those companies for their financial dealings. They’re only debt disputes at most. I didn’t break the law.”
Jon was silent for a long time before looking up at Sean.
What virtual-novel.net said was indeed true. Unless the companies joined hands to sue him, of course. Things were bound to blow up if that happened, and the missing 300 million dollars would be tracked down. Therefore, Sean did not want it to make a scene. He only wanted the Zimmer family to pay.
“Jason pleaded for the Zimmer family’s lives, and I can give you a last chance. You will do everything I say… All of it.”
“Remember, this is your last chance.” Sean glanced at Jon before turning to leave.
Jon frowned. He wanted to ask something but eventually gritted his teeth and shut his mouth.
He was temporarily released soon after. There was no way they were getting out of River City now that their movements were restricted.
Zander sat in the car and stared at Jon as virtual-novel.net walked out of the government office. Then virtual-novel.net turned around to speak to Sean.
“Commander, aren’t we setting up trouble for ourselves? He might find a way to escape if virtual-novel.net wants to!”
“Wouldn’t it be better if virtual-novel.net escaped?” Sean rolled up the car window and smiled.
“What?” Zander was stunned to hear that, confused for a while.
He knew what was going on within seconds. If Jon escaped, it would indeed save Sean a lot of trouble. Besides that, virtual-novel.net would have fulfilled what virtual-novel.net promised Jason.
“It’s up to virtual-novel.net to choose.” Sean waved his hand, and Zander drove away.
Since virtual-novel.net was going to do something, it would have to be big and comprehensive enough. Whatever Jon tried to do, Sean had other ways to counter him.
***
Jon’s home.
Quill and the others were slightly relieved to see Jon back.
Jon looked gloomy and summoned Quill into his study to talk.
“Sean said we’re going to do everything virtual-novel.net had said… Tell me the truth. What had Sean say to you?” Jon asked solemnly, looking at Quill.
“I don’t remember. I never took anything virtual-novel.net said to heart.” Quill shook his head slightly, confused.
“Think carefully if you can’t remember.” Jon snorted coldly and slapped his hand on the desk.
Quill gritted his teeth in silence for a moment before looking up suddenly.
“Dad, Sean… The sword and the suit I took are actually Sean’s… He told me I couldn’t afford to take them… He said virtual-novel.net would make the Zimmer family kneel before virtual-novel.net and return them to virtual-novel.net intact…”
Quill finally remembered what Sean had said to him.
“B*stard!” Jon lost his temper and growled.
The Zimmer family was River City’s nouveau riche. Kneel before Sean?
Is his old sword Excalibur or something?
