NovelOnline"You did well on that task | had you do, Elliot," Gary said cheerfully when he saw Elliot. "By the way, how was the discussion with Edward and Ted? | believe they already approached you?" Elliot nodded. "I have met with them. Their initial consensus was that Mickey and Julian's assets—" "Those are mine! The assets belonging to Mickey and julian are already mine! | bought it from their widows at a reasonable price, and | did so legally!" After Mickey and Julian's death, Gary unscrupulously bought their property at a very low price.
It was ostensibly a buyout, but in truth, it was an outright robbery.
Edward and Ted ended their friendship with Gary because of that! They could care less if Gary used such underhanded methods to deal with outsiders, but Mickey and Julian were comrades from the same alliance. How could he take their property all for himself? Even if they wanted to take their property, they should split it with each other. Gary had no right to be taking all of it for himself? Besides, Mickey and Julian were killed in the course of helping to settle Christopher's mess, which made it even more abhorrent that Gary did something like that for the sake of profits! "Gary, | propose that we donate one-third of the income from this part of the industry to the state treasury, and another third should be given to public welfare, which leaves the remaining one-third to us." Elliot was afraid that Gary would get angry, so he explained, "We'll donate only a small part of the money through the accounts, because that way, we'll only lose a small part of the profit." "Hmph, | don't want to lose any of it, even if it's just a small portion of the profit!" Gary said with a cold face and gritted his teeth." If it wasn't for the sake of our former friendship, there's no way in hell that I'd accept this loss!" "It won't benefit us in any way if we fall out with them. If we can't come to a compromise, we'll be the ones who'll end up on the losing end. Taking a step back allows us to move forward better." "Fine. Proceed according to your plan then! " Gary said. He was starting to crave his cigars.

He asked his bodyguard to h:d->QLU< one to him.
The bodyguard immediately lit a cigar and gave it to him.
"You haven't recovered fully yet, so it's best not to smoke," Elliot reminded.
"Who said | was going to smoke? I'm just going to smell it." Gary held the cigarette in his hand. "With your help, the Goulds' fortunes would soar, and | want to live to enjoy it." "Yeah." When the cigar finished burning, he threw the butt into the trash can.
"Did you come to me just to talk about that? " Gary narrowed his foxlike eyes and said," How is Avery? | heard that she had a major operation." "The operation was successful, but she's feeling down." "What's wrong with her?" Gary asked even though he already knew.
Elliot said calmly, "Her classmate is dead. His name is Jed Hutchinson, a neurologist whom she called over just to let them operate on her. He was killed in the early morning of the day of her operation." "Oh..." Gary's smirked mockingly. "I killed him." Elliot suppressed all his emotions and asked calmly, "Did he offend you?" "Of course not!" Gary let out a sigh. "I've been thinking and thinking, and | realized | was still angry because | can't let my son just die like that. How lonely he would be in the afterlife! | can't kill your son to vent my anger, nor can | kill Avery. If I did, you'd be angry with me. My only recourse? To kill those around Avery." Elliot pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Gary had done plenty of bad things in his life, and taking someone's life was as trivial as stepping on an ant.
Elliot got up from his chair. "Have a good rest, I'll see you tomorrow," he said, then strode immediately toward the door.
Gary looked at his haughty rear figure and shouted uncontrollably, "You think I don't know that you're angry? It's good enough that | promised to let Avery leave! Don't be ungrateful! If you ever dare to betray me, I'll make sure you won't leave Ylore alive!"
