Chapter 1830 - 489: I Told You to Top Up, and You Really Spent Money?
After all, there are people in Italy who dislike the Vatican, but there are very few who dislike Huang Kaiwen.
"Well, well... Master, can we not mention that name?"
Del Neri said tremblingly.
If someone found out, he’d be finished.
"Of course, I know your intention, and I can help you achieve your wish. We won’t talk of the unmentionable name; we will do the indescribable deed."
Swindler said mysteriously.
Del Neri felt much more at ease.
Thomas couldn’t suppress the smile on his face; he didn’t expect this rookie to perform even better than he thought.
"Does he need to die?"
Swindler asked.
"Die?"
Del Neri screamed, quickly waving his hands and said, "Of course not, I just need him to get injured."
"Alright then."
Swindler was a bit disappointed, turned around and took out a basin, saying to Del Neri, "Next, we need to perform a fire sacrifice."
Del Neri suddenly asked, "Will it be expensive?"
He left in a hurry, and there wasn’t much cash in his wallet.
Swindler was also taken aback.
Because he didn’t know how to answer this question!
If he said it was expensive, what if the other party didn’t want to continue?
If he said it wasn’t expensive, what if the other party felt something was off?
Cold sweat had already started pouring down Swindler’s back; this answer concerned his future.
"Do you have a credit card?"
Thomas asked.
"Of course, but can you swipe a card here?"
Del Neri looked around, asking suspiciously.
"No, but if you throw the card in, it represents your willingness to sacrifice, and you can replace it afterward," Thomas said.
Hearing this, Del Neri felt much more at ease.
After all, they weren’t really asking him for money.
Swindler was also relieved.
He grabbed some figurines from the counter and tossed them into the fire basin, then picked up a newspaper, found the cover with a photo of Huang Kaiwen, and asked, "It’s Kevin, right."
"Yes, yes."
Del Neri forced himself to say.
Hearing Huang Kaiwen’s name made him feel a jolt of fear.
Swindler threw the things into the fire basin, chanting in Hebrew, "Bless me to succeed this time, bless me with a promotion and a raise, bless me with a beautiful girlfriend, preferably a busty Portman..."
Del Neri was also drawn in by Swindler’s demeanor, as if a real mysterious ritual was taking place.
Just then, an old man pushed the door open and shouted in Italian, "We agreed to only rent it to you, not to let you play with fire inside. If you set my shop on fire, that little money won’t be enough!"
Del Neri was stunned.
Thomas and Swindler exchanged a glance and immediately acted.
Swindler kicked over the fire basin, rushing out from in front of Del Neri.
Thomas was even quicker, his bulky body had already burst out of the store.
The two chose to run separately, but a few minutes later they found a place to meet up.
Thomas asked, "Did you record it?"
"Of course, but there’s no micro video device," Swindler said regretfully.
"That’s alright, we’re going to make a fortune!"
Thomas excitedly hugged Swindler.
"Then shall we stay in a fancy hotel here tonight?" Swindler asked.
Thomas spat onto the street and said, "To hell with fancy hotels, we’re heading to Milan now, and then straight back to London!"
In the store.
Del Neri had already learned the ins and outs from the store owner’s mouth.
Although he wasn’t sure of the other two’s specific identities, thinking back carefully, they had been tricking him all along.
Del Neri already had the worst suspicion in his heart.
If they were indeed reporters as he thought, then his coaching career would be over.
Now he didn’t know what to do.
But Del Neri knew, he couldn’t bear this big of a problem alone.
He had to communicate with Juventus as soon as possible.
Even if Juventus was unhappy, he’s still the head coach of Juventus; he sought a wizard to make Juventus win, and Juventus had to back him up somehow.
Del Neri, dejected, walked out of the store and saw the bar across the street.
He wanted a drink before returning to Turin. As he reached for his pocket, he remembered that his wallet and all his credentials had been tricked by those two bastards into the fire basin. Feeling both angry and sad, Del Neri looked up to the sky and cursed, "To hell with the Jew!"
...
The next day.
"World News Report" exposed a sensational news.
Although there were always rumors that many coaches in the football world hire wizards, this was the first time there was concrete evidence.
More critically, Del Neri explicitly said he wanted Huang Kaiwen injured.
The headline of the "World News Report" read: "According to our reporters’ investigation, we have obtained clear evidence that Juventus’s coach Del Neri hired a wizard against Kevin. We have an 18-minute recording in our possession..."
Even though specific details hadn’t been disclosed, it was explosive news.
That day’s "World News Report" sold out.
The entire London and United Kingdom were discussing the related news.
The majority of news media worldwide reported it online, leaving Juventus in a frenzy.
At three in the afternoon, Juventus held a press conference.
Juventus’s General Manager Marotta sat on stage and said, "Regarding the false news published by ’World Sports News’, we strongly condemn it and reserve the right to sue."
"Mr. Marotta, ’World Sports News’ website released a recording that sounds like Mr. Del Neri."
"Giuseppe, will you immediately fire Del Neri?"
"This happening before the big match with AC Milan, will it affect Juventus?"
