Chapter 1925
Lara was testing him.
This was because she, just like Davis and the others, was suspicious of Wharton.
They had a total of twelve leaders. They were the so-called Twelve Pillared Gods. One was the general leader, and the other eleven were the leaders. Each leader would have an assistant and a team under his command.
Davis and Wharton were both leaders of the district, and so was Hall.
Davis's assistant was his Mr. Malim. Davis was usually in charge of the Lauren family, and he was always in charge of the organization's affairs; or Ken was in charge of the company's assistant.
And this time, Wharton had sent his assistant to rescue them.
"Everyone has their own channels." In response to Lara's words, Wharton raised his hands in response. "Ask about other people's channels? This is a major taboo. Miss Lara, don't you think so?"
Lara was not flustered at all, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "No, I just thought of some rumors in the organization and wanted to ask about it for everyone."
Her words changed the atmosphere in an instant.
"Oh, a rumor?" Wharton continued to ask her casually. "What rumor?"
Lara looked at Wharton, then said slowly, "Of course, it's about your status, as well as whether or not you really joined the organization. Or..."
"What do you mean?" Spear almost cried out. "Lara, in terms of experience in the organization, you aren't even as experienced as me and the leader of the organization. Do you know how much effort that Wharton has made for the organization? Don't think that just because you're a woman by the chief's side, you can slander others like that!"
"Yes, if anyone has a problem with our leader, let him stand in front of us and say it." Joan, who went to Country to save her husband, said.
Joan was a man with the appearance of an Asian. His skin was darker than the color of wheat, but his facial features were just right. He was neither rough nor delicate, which was very refreshing.
He was the assistant to Wharton.
But as long as he and Wharton stood together, he would soon become a black man who wasn't as outstanding as he was. In the organization, there were some people who teased him that if he wanted to become an outstanding handsome man, he would be able to successfully hook up with many women. All he needed to do was leave Wharton's team.
But Joan admired Wharton, and was willing to become his assistant. Compared to women, she was more willing to follow a boss whom she admired!
Seeing that Wharton was extremely trusted by his subordinates, Lara knew that he couldn't continue to ask this question.
Raising his lips, he said, "You two are really amusing. I was just casually saying that. Wharton is an extremely powerful local leader of our organization. Actually, I trust him. After all, having someone who knows a thing or two about the police to join us is like adding wings to a tiger for our organization."
After speaking, he turned to stare angrily at his spear, saying with a smile, "Cart, congratulations on your return. You have to properly thank Wharton."
"There's no need for you to say that!" Spear almost yelled at the woman in hatred.
Lara chuckled and turned around.
But in the next second, he was stopped by Wharton.
"Miss Lara." Wharton said to her, "Your question was asked out loud, but I'd like to ask Miss Lara for an answer. Where is Nangong now? Has he really given Davis the right to speak for the time being? Even the gathering of our twelve leaders was held by Davis?"
The red high-heeled shoes under Lara's feet stopped and his lips curled into a smile. "Of course."
"That's just what you and Davis said. We didn't hear Nan Gong's explanation in person." Wharton slowly returned to his resolute face, his black eyes staring at the woman. "Nan Gong is now the chief of our organization. If he hadn't said it in person, I'm afraid it would have been hard for him to convince the public."
"Oh, what do you mean, Leader Wharton?" Lara turned to look at him. "Are you saying that you don't want to obey Davis now?"
"No, I'm just saying..." Wharton dragged out a message. "It's inevitable for others to have such concerns. Over time, there will probably be rumors. For example, if something happens to Nan Gong, you and Joe will be in charge of delivering the message for her."
Lara understood that Wharton was trying to 're took revenge'.
"Take revenge" was the rumor that she had just said about him.
Slowly, Lara praised, "Leader Wharton really isn't simple...but don't worry. Nan Gong will come sooner or later. After all, this is the gathering of the twelve leaders, and there will be no shortage of any of them. But right now, it's indeed Nan Gong's intention to hand over the right to speak to Davis."
"That's good." Wharton said.
Looking at Lara's back, Spear snorted and made a face at Lara. "You're just a woman around the chief. I heard that the chief doesn't appreciate your kindness and still wants to argue with him. You don't know your own limits!"
"Leader, you did a good job in fighting back just now!" Joan said to Wharton, "Someone in the organization was jealous of our resources, so they made an issue of you being a policeman. No, maybe someone was jealous that you were highly valued by the former chief, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to replace you with a new chief, so there were rumors about you."
"It doesn't matter." Wharton said in a light voice. "But if anyone dares to play any tricks in front of me, I can kill him to prove that those rumors are false."
"That's right, that's right!" The others all had vicious looks on their faces.
Because it was common for them to kill people.
Someone even said with a lewd smile, "Since Miss Lara suspects the leader, why don't the leader force her and let her know how powerful the leader is? Anyway, I heard that the chief boss likes Aman's wife and has no interest in Miss Lara, hahaha..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Spear almost flew into a rage, and her face flushed red. "I don't like that kind of woman at all. Aside from being a scientist, she's just a bad woman!"
"Hey, leader C Hall, we're not good people, are we?" Someone said, "Also, our leader doesn't mean that to you..."
"I'll kill you
Spear immediately took out her gun.
"Enough. Stop arguing." Wharton spoke out.
Only then did the commotion behind them come to a halt.
Ken stood in front of her, while Joan and the others faced her guns fearlessly. She was the weakest of the twelve pillars, and now she was almost completely annihilated in Country. Except for her and Ken, the rest of her subordinates had been arrested by the police.
"Cart is the leader. How dare you act so rudely? Be careful, or else she'll really kill you." Wharton warned his subordinates. Even though Cart's squad was weak, she was still the leader. It was fine for her to kill them.
But those who followed Wharton didn't fear anything. In fact, they didn't even fear the leaders of other regions.
"Yes..." The others stopped teasing the female leader.
"I apologize to you on behalf of them." Wharton said to Cart. "They didn't follow the rules. I was the one who was lacking in discipline. You can blame me."
"No..." Spear almost lowered her head. "Wharton, thank you for asking someone to save me." Although this was an annoying fellow, on the way to save her, he had accomplished his mission quite well.
The people in their organization were like this. No matter how evil, hateful, or irritating they were, they were quick and determined to carry out the tasks given to them. Because their organization would have a very miserable ending for those who made mistakes.
This time, the reason why she was fine was that she had endured the police's interrogation and had been rescued by Wharton. If it weren't for him, Nangong Yen might have sent assassins to kill her.
Thinking of this, Spear's heart was touched.
Wharton had risked his life to get someone to save her.
"What about the other members of that squad?" Wharton didn't respond to Spear question. Instead, he asked Joan, "Did you kill them?"
"Of course, except for her and Ken, I won't spare anyone else." Joan put a long weapon wrapped in cloth on her shoulder and said that she had no mercy when she killed her companions in the organization.
Wharton didn't seem to have much of an expression on his face. "That's good. If they don't keep their mouths shut and leak the news, it's inevitable to silence them. Of course, the organization would've sent a special unit of assassins to clean up those caught by the police."
So even if he didn't give the order, others wouldn't be able to live.
Because it was impossible to save her together with the others, which only made it more difficult to rescue her.
He turned around and asked, "So, when my men killed the other people in your team, are you angry?"
