Even though Luis had asked the police to thoroughly investigate the assault case that occurred this afternoon, until late at night Jack was still discussing with all his subordinates regarding this incident. Even Erick flew straight to Luxembourg to help Jack and left Alice alone in Switzerland.
"Currently, the residence of Edmund and his father is under the surveillance of our people, sir," Erick said quietly after showing proof of the closeness of Leon and Edmund based on a photo given by his subordinates a few moments ago.
Jack squinted at the still unchanged bastard cousin in the photo. "You'll see, Edmund. This time I won't hesitate any longer, trying to harm my son means you'll die with my hands."
Jack's teeth gritted as he finished speaking. It was a sign of immense anger. Although authentic evidence had not been found that Leon and Edmund were the masterminds of today's chaos, Jack was sure that these two were the main culprits. Especially considering the actions of the two so far, the signs that the two people were the culprits were getting clearer.
The cold aura from Jack's body made Erick shiver and inched away from Jack's side without realizing it. It had been a long time since Erick had felt such great anger from Jack, to be exact it was precisely after he returned with Anne one year ago when they had succeeded in bringing Anne from Aberdeen.
The sound of the large clock that stood firmly in the living room made everyone look at each other. The clock rang three times, indicating that it was already three in the morning.
Jack brushed his messy hair. "Go to bed, it's almost morning. You need to rest."
"You too, sir." Erick immediately responded to Jack's words quickly.
"Yes, me too."
Erick and members of the Warriors, along with Luis' men decided to go to sleep. Today was really a tiring day for them. Even though the front yard where the shootout took place was now tidy, as if nothing had happened, the bad memories of the unexpected event still remained. Even Jack could still smell the gunpowder lingering in the air.
After being completely alone in his study, Jack then walked over to the photo of his grandfather, the dashing David Clarke, who stood with his dead twin brother, Alan Knight Clarke, who was posing in front of the Clarke family home, which had been a tradition for generations since Clarke first built their luxurious palace. .
Jack's blue eyes stared intently at the large, dashing photograph that hung right beside his desk. "How are you up there, Grandpa? I'm sure you must be very happy right now to be able to gather with all of our family members, to be able to gather with your beloved grandson, Alan. Today is the hardest day for me, for the first time in my life I feel almost dead when I found out someone is trying to hurt my only son, Christian. Even though the terrorists were killed, but the mastermind behind this chaos is still laughing freely out there, right now I'm in a dilemma, Grandpa. I once promised not to make enemies with Edmund, the son of Johnny Immanuel who is the adopted son of Muller's grandfather to Daddy, but today he has tried to harm my son, the successor to this family that you always wanted, Grandpa. I wish I could fly to Switzerland and immediately shoot his head, but I don't want to have problems with the law. Besides, my wife will be angry if I take the law into my own hands, now I'm confused about what I should do, Grandpa. On the one hand, I have promised to Daddy, but on the other hand, the man tried to kill my heir, my proud son who is still innocent. Come to my dream just once and give me a clue about what I should do right now, Grandpa. Edmund and his father, Johnny Immanuel, are two money freaks who will not stop until their goal is achieved. I'm afraid that if I let them go next time they will go even further."
No other sound was heard after Jack closed his lips, of course. At the moment, he was alone. Only the sound of the clock ticking on the table could be heard faintly.
With a tired body and bloodshot eyes, Jack returned to his chair to continue his work even though it was now almost morning. This attack made Jack realize that all this time, he had been too arrogant and confident that everything would be fine because he had his wealth and strong power. But all that arrogance was destroyed instantly when two gunmen managed to break through the security of his house and trying to kill Christian, damn.
Remembering that again was making Jack even more sleepless, his brain kept going. He wanted to keep working even though all the cells in his body were screaming for rest.
Jack's slender fingers danced rapidly on the keyboard of the two sophisticated laptops that were on Jack's desk in turns. Jack had to solve the problem with Edmund before the bastard cousin took any further action. Like a virus, Edmund and his father must be eliminated before it spread to other places and endangered the lives of many other humans.
"Got it." Jack screeched loudly when one of his hired hackers managed to hack into all of Edmund's and his father's social media and bank accounts.
Instantly, all the tiredness disappeared from Jack. He quickly started logging into Edmund's two social media accounts through two different laptops. The smile on Jack's face grew wider when he found out about Edmund's actions with the beautiful women he bought expensively or cheaply. It was no wonder, actually. Edmund had always been an asshole, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the chastity of Sophia who was Jack's fiancée and spread rubbish rumors that said Jack loved Sophia so much to people that it made Jack's name slightly tarnished at that time.
"Crazy bastard!!" Jack shouted loudly as he read one of Edmund's inboxes with a person with the initials Mr. Pictures.
In the inbox, it was clearly written that Edmund asked Mr. Picture edited a photo of Anne sleeping with him in a big bed. If Jack hadn't read the conversation from the start, he might have believed that the photo was really Anne. It was flawless and looked real, Anne's face looked perfect in that photo and it was hard to tell if it was a real photo or a fake.
"Tsk! You two are indeed a match. You are both traitors, crazy for wealth and have the same evil brain. This time, I will not repeat the same mistake, my wife is a very loyal and perfect woman. She is too high to do something this low. After all, even if Anne wants to have an affair, she will definitely have a hard time finding a suitable man to compete with me," Jack said to himself with a smile, commenting on the same evil plan between Edmund and Sophia Higgins, which had cost him one baby and been separated from Anne for almost three years.
"You'll be doomed this time, Edmund. I swear."
