Chapter 132
Ewan was quick and efficient. Mick soon spilled everything – he told us that Dax’s assistant had given him money and instructed him to lead a riot at the Black Group. He refused to admit that he’d pushed me, though.
I didn’t probe too much. My goal had been to drag out the person behind Mick, anyway. It was clear to everyone that Dax was behind everything, but he’d managed to get away every time so far.
It didn’t matter, though. I could get rid of his people one by one and replace them with my own. After all, he had Martin behind him, and their roots ran deep.
"Martin’s getting on in years, and Dax is his only son. Think about how sad Martin would be if he were to lose his only heir." Dexter had gone to collect the medical report with the nurse, so I spoke to Ewan. "I know you’re smart, Mr. Bart. I don’t care why you’ve approached Dexter; I just know that we have a common enemy."
Common enemies, to be exact – Martin and Dax.
The fact that Ewan had chosen to stand with Dexter as soon as Ignatius fell was enough to tell Martin and Dax that he was ready to wage war against them.
They were as ruthless as they came, so there was no room for Ewan to lose this war now that he’d chosen to work with Dexter.
"I understand." Ewan nodded. "I’ll do exactly as you and Mr. Black have instructed."
"Can we sneak any of our people into Dax’s life?" I asked.
Ewan faltered. "He may not be as cautious and sensitive as Martin, but he’s still strict when choosing his subordinates. I’ve thought of a few ways, but he generally doesn’t allow anyone other than his confidants near him. Besides, all the people around him have to get past Martin."
I chuckled. It looked like Martin kept Dax on a tight leash. Still, all children had a rebellious streak somewhere. I refused to believe that Dax was an exception to the rule.
