Chapter 733: He’s not the one I need.
Meanwhile...
"Sven Bennet was caught, and as expected, he didn’t say anything other than admitting to the crime." A man whispered into another man’s ear before straightening up politely.
The man he reported to nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so?"
"Will it be alright, Master?" the first man asked, a bit worried. "Or should I send someone to silence him behind bars?"
"There’s no need for that," replied the boss, smirking. "I’ve always known Sven Bennet wouldn’t last. He’s not the one I need."
The first man gazed at his boss, then lowered his head respectfully. "Is that so?"
The boss smirked again, swirling the glass of rum in his hand. "Poor little Sven. Send him my regards. I’d like to thank him for his... services."
"Yes, sir."
"And that man... reward him for his help. If it weren’t for his dashcam footage, none of this would have happened. Tell him I appreciate his cooperation — and that I don’t want to see him again."
"Yes, sir."
With that, the first man lowered his head and walked away quietly to carry out the orders. Left alone in the room, the boss’s lips curled into a sinister smirk.
"Atlas Bennet... and surprisingly, Slater Bennet is up to something strange," he murmured, bringing his glass of rum to his mouth. He savored a mouthful, swishing it before swallowing.
