Conrad smiled flatteringly, wanting to gather more information about Zac’s death through Xavier. He knew that Zac’s death was definitely not an accident, but he couldn’t find any evidence yet, which made him frustrated. “There’s nothing for us to talk about.”
Xavier and Hendrey’s attitude toward him was colder than before. Their contempt for Conrad was evident on their faces.
Listening to the cold and distant tone of the other party, Conrad no longer adopted a submissive attitude. Instead, he cleared his throat and said, ‘I’ll be straightforward with you. I know that you have a deep hatred for Matthew. Kings. That’s why I came to find you.”
The other party remained silent. It seemed as though he was giving Conrad the chance to continue speaking.
Conrad took the hint and continued, “It’s almost impossible for you to bring Matthew down or kill him on your own. If you’re willing to cooperate with me or tell me the truth about Zac’s death, I will help you get rid of him. That way, you won’t have to get your hands dirty. You won’t lose out on this deal, Xavier.”
Conrad knew what Xavier needed. As long as he could convince the latter, Xavier could be of use to him. He was confident about that. Unexpectedly….
“Zac’s death has already been concluded by the royal family of Castron. You already know what I know about. As for Matthew, whether you have the ability to kill him or not is your business. Whether I am capable of killing him and want him dead, it’s all up to me to decide.”
Xavier expressed his thoughts directly and without hesitation, stating, “I refuse to collaborate with someone I consider a hypocrite, and I have no intention of engaging in any form of cooperation with you.”
After speaking, Xavier hung up the phone directly. Conrad felt as if the punch on his face came as fast as a tornado.
One second, Conrad was full of confidence, but the next moment, he was filled with despair and fury. He angrily threw his phone to the ground. and cursed, “D*mnit, what the hell?! How dare a leech like him call me a hypocrite?! D*mn!”
Conrad looked down on Xavier because the latter married Antheena and enjoyed the protection of her influential father, so he didn’t have to care about anyone or anything.
Xavier’s high and mighty attitude was what made Conrad feel disgusted. Behind the feeling of disgust was a strong sense of jealousy.
Both of them had experienced hardships, but what Conrad got from being tricked by Zac was only a few billion in investment, while Xavier, who was tricked by Matthew, ended up marrying the daughter of the Black Ace Mob and living a glamorous life.
Why?! He wasn’t reconciled. At this moment, Conrad was like a headless fly, wandering around, unable to find any solution. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of someone… Antheena!
Antheena held a grudge against Veronica. If he could join hands with her, it would be more efficient than cooperating with Xavier, and it was highly likely that he would eventually involve the influence of her father.
In that case, he would become even more powerful. Conrad returned to his office chair and dialed the intercom. “Book me the earliest flight to Castron.”
Half an hour later, Conrad set off and rushed to the airport to catch the earliest available flight to Castron When he showed up at the airport in a hurry, Flavian and Melvin noticed him.
“Dad, isn’t that Uncle Conrad?” Melvin was leaning against the wall, playing with his phone. His eyes felt sore, so he took off his glasses and rubbed them. As soon as he opened his eyes again, he saw Conrad not far away, dragging his luggage.
Flavian turned around and looked over. Even in the crowd, he could immediately spot Conrad. “It’s been a few years since I last saw him, but he still looks young,” he sighed.
“Could you two be on the same flight?” Melvin was about to ask when he saw Conrad heading toward the ticket gate. “C1198? That’s the flight to Castron. He must have something important to do if he’s in such a hurry to go there.”
“Let him be.” Flavian didn’t want to get involved in matters involving Conrad. Melvin nodded and suddenly turned to his father. “I heard that Uncle Conrad has always been plotting against Matthew. Don’t you plan to stop him?”
Holding a cigar in his hand, Flavian took a puff, letting out a faint blue smoke through his nostrils. “If we don’t let Matthew go astray, how can we expect him to give up everything in Bloomstead and return to Mythpoint with us?”
“You have a point there, Dad.” Melvin leaned back on the couch, rested his hands behind his head, and sneered, “Does that mean we can also help Uncle Conrad if necessary and take advantage of the situation?”
“Sounds feasible.”
Since Flavian wanted Matthew to return to Mythpoint, they would help Conrad if there was a need, thereby forcing Matthew into a dead end. Only then could Matthew be reunited with Eviette and marry into the Robins Family!
