Chapter 493 Negotiation
“Mr. Collins is not dead.” Seeing that he agreed, Kerry couldn’t wait to show his sincerity.
Leaning on the sofa, Boris poured a cup of coffee slowly and remained silent.
Nell glanced at him and understood in his heart.
Having been following Boris for years, Nell was good at gauging his mind. He immediately scolded, “We already know about this. If you want to say such nonsense, I can make you shut up forever!”
Kerry trembled in shock and said, “No, no, no! Mr. Lewis! Then… I’ll start with the kidnapping five years ago!”
He said in a flattering tone, but still, Boris’ eyes had never landed on him.
Knowing that he couldn’t talk nonsense anymore, Kerry explained everything in one go.
“One day five years ago, Mr. Collins suddenly became very excited. He said that he was going to do a big thing. If he could make it, he would enjoy endless wealth! At that time, I thought that he was going to take someone’s territory, so I patted my chest and asked him to take me with him, but he Said…”
Kerry took a glance at Boris.
Boris drank his coffee calmly, seemingly unmoved by what he said.
“Go on!” Nell glared at him impatiently.
Kerry continued in a trembling voice, “He said he intended to kidnap someone! Mr. Lewis, you know that kidnapping someone is nothing serious at all for us! Then he said the one he wanted to kidnap was none other than the daughters of the Scott family!”
“That was the daughter of the Scott family! I got cold feet and didn’t want to get in the middle of it. Because I was afraid I would be targeted by Scott Company, and I would die a horrible death! But he reassured me that the plan was flawless and there would be no danger!”
“Later, I was seriously injured in an ordinary operation and was admitted to the hospital. I didn’t participate in that incident, but I kept paying close attention to it because I thought that I would be the first to take those properties under his name if he died because of this.”
“Who knew that he was so cruel that he actually entrusted such a dangerous thing to his son? At first, I thought that he took such a big risk just for money, and then I overheard the relationship between him and his son. It was actually because of a woman.”
Boris remained calm; what he heard was within his éxpectation.
Kerry went on to talk about the whole process from the plot to the implementation, and then to the
“Davin is dead. Mr. Collins lost his temper and said he wanted to take revenge on you, and he must make you pay with your life. During that time, I drank with him every day, and once he was so drunk that he blurted out his another son.”
Nell’s eyes lit up as he asked, “He has another son?”
“Yes! Mr. Collins said that when he was young, he fooled around with a dancing girl, and later he dumped the girl for a new one. Unexpectedly, the dancing girl hooked up with the monarch of Western Royalty a few years later and became a concubine! If the dancing girl hadn’t managed to contact him and asked him to help them, he wouldn’t even know he had a son!”
Kerry knew if what he said got out, it would be enough to cause a stir.
But he was more clear that Boris would not easily agree to his request until he had finished the story.
He added under his breath, “I asked someone to investigate secretly. Only Princess Lia in Western Royalty was a dancer before, and I heard that when she was brought back to the palace, her son was already in his teens. Combined with Mr. Collins said, I think the reason why he kidnapped Ziana back then was probably to get money to support his other son, Edison. Unexpectedly…”
Kerry took a glance at Boris carefully and coughed softly. “I didn’t expect you to ruin his good plan, and he didn’t get any money because of it.”
Boris gave a smile suddenly.
He didn’t get the money, but the Scott family owed him a favor.
A favor from the Scott family was worth more than a large sum of money.
“During the two years after his son’s death, he was always worried that the Scott family would find him, so he told me that it was the safest way to fake his death. He took a chance and escaped successfully, and announced to the public that Mr. Collins was dead, but in fact, he just changed his identity, and Willis Erwin and I took care of all the previous properties.”
A frown formed between Boris’ brows. Nell understood his doubt and immediately explained, “Willis is another right-hand man of Mr. Collins, but Willis only became his confidant two or three years ago, and he didn’t know about what happened five years ago.”
“Of course, he doesn’t know! He’s nothing! He made Mr. Collins value him by his ruthlessness.” Kerry continued, unable to conceal the deep resentment, “He has only been valued for two years, and he wants to take my business and even wants to get rid of me, bah! Mr. Lewis! I’ve told you everything I know. You must help me replace Mr. Collins and become the underground boss of Oia County!”
“When I become the boss, Willis is the first one in trouble!”
Boris put down the cup and said, “What does Mr. Collins look like? What’s his name now?”
“You asked the right person!” Kerry chuckled and said, “But I’ll tell you this after the thing is done. How would I know if you’ll go back to your words and turn your back on me after getting the news you want?”
“You don’t believe us?” Biber cut in.
Kerry replied, shaking his head, “I have to leave a way out for me. If I show all my cards and become useless to you, I’ll only be dumped. Mr. Lewis, for someone as scheming as resourceful as you, I have to be careful.”
“Okay. I can help you become the underground boss of Oia County.” Boris put down his cup and added, “I can even provide you with weapons and manpower, but after it’s done, you have to tell me Mr. Collins’ current identity!”
“Deal!” Kerry said straightforwardly. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Boris tilted his head.
Nell took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured out a brown pill that looked like jelly beans.
Confused, Kerry asked, “Mr. Lewis?”
As soon as he finished speaking, two bodyguards grabbed his neck and Nell stuffed the pill into his mouth quickly.
Kerry wanted to vomit.
The bodyguards covered his mouth and didn’t release him until he swallowed the pill.
Kerry asked anxiously, “What did you feed me?”
Boris remained silent and it was Nell who answered instead of him. “Mr. Wood, as you said, we have to be careful in case you turn your back on us after it’s done. You won’t die in seven days, as long as you tell us Mr. Collins’ identity.”
On the way back to the hotel from Fortune Casino, Biber said with a smile, “This trip to Galia didn’t come in vain.”
“Edison is the son of Mr. Collins and Princess Lia…” Boris rested his slender fingers on his long legs.
Suddenly, a dark light flashed in his deep eyes and he said, “Nell, after knowing the current identity of Mr. Collins, do a paternity test for Edison and Mr. Collins.”
Nell nodded and said, “Okay, I got this.”
A week later.
With the support of Boris, Kerry successfully got rid of Willis.
As soon as Boris got the news, he arranged a meeting with Kerry.
Now that Kerry has taken the position of the underground boss in Oia County, he was in high spirits.
However, at the sight of Boris, his face immediately turned into a look of horror and fear.
His tone was full of flattery as he said, “Mr. Lewis! Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you…”
“Mr. Collins’ current identity.” Boris, who was impatient, went straight to the point.
