Chapter 1947

"Then did Old Scum do anything to him?" Hugo's expression was as dark as thunder.

Zylan nodded. "Yes. He refused to do as told, so the client held a grudge and beat him until he lost consciousness

before removing his kidneys. It so happened that another client of Old Scum needed the kidneys, so he gave them

to his other client."

He was simmering with anger by the time he finished his words.

Never mind if Old Scum had done that to an ordinary person. Alas, he ended up inviting trouble to their door.

Banging his cane, Hugo felt the anger building and demanded, "Who? Come again?"

Zylan was shaking so profusely that he nearly lost his balance. He wiped away the cold sweat on his brows and said

in a trembling voice, "Mr. Tilan, I admit that they acted recklessly. I I've sent my men to take care of the matter."

"Take care of the matter? How are you going to do that?" Hugo fumed. "Do you know why I never dreamed of

expanding my power to Astoria? That's because Sebastian Hayes is there! How dare you offend him? I might as well

shoot you in the head right now!"

The biggest mafia boss in Southeast Astoria shook in fury as he pulled his gun out to kill Zylan.

Hugo had never been afraid of anyone in his entire life.

However, he never dared to get on the bad side of the president of Hayes Corporation, who was also the richest

and most influential man in Astoria.

Sebastian is too powerful. Hayes Corporation did exceptionally well under his helm and became one of the

wealthiest companies in the world. After he left his position and became a politician, he managed to turn the tide

single-handedly. Even though he doesn't have an official identity, everyone knows that he is the actual ruler of the

country.

His power and influence were simply too horrifying.

How dare these idiots offend Sebastian?

Bang!

"Ah!" An ear-splitting scream resonated around the penthouse.

If someone hadn't shown up at the door in time to drag Zylan away, he would've died right there and then.

"Hugo, what are you doing? Zylan has worked for you for years. Why do you want him dead?"

After saving Zylan, the person released him and came over to Hugo.

Despite his fury, Hugo put his gun away at the sight of the man.

"Why don't you ask what he did? Sebastian Hayes' cousin died because of his human trafficking business!

Sebastian will seek revenge now that his cousin is dead," Hugo snapped furiously.

The newcomer's expression changed drastically, for he hadn't expected the matter to be this serious.

Sebastian Hayes, huh? That man spells trouble.

After the initial shock, the person calmed down and came to Hugo. He advised, "What's done is done, so we should

focus on solving the problem instead of starting an internal conflict. I believe Zylan knew nothing about the human

trafficking business. Besides, Tilan Corporation has never been directly involved with it."

Indeed, the Tilan family rarely got involved in their illegal businesses to prevent the police from getting dirt on

them.

There was also another reason for their lack of direct involvement. After all, these businesses were minor enough

to be taken care of by their lackeys.

Hearing that, Hugo finally calmed down.

"What should we do now? I don't know if Sebastian has received news about it. Imagine the consequences if he

discovers the truth."

"Yes, that's the most important part of the matter. For now, I suggest we deal with the police by handing the client

to them. When the time comes, and they decide to crack down on our business, we can sacrifice Old Scum," the

person suggested.

He was ruthless enough to cut off all the people involved in the organ-trafficking business in order to protect Tilan

Palace.

Hugo nodded in agreement.

"What about Sebastian?" he asked.

The man pondered briefly before coming up with a flawless solution. "I heard his eldest son will get engaged half a

month later. We can send someone to attend the engagement party and find out if Sebastian knows about this. If

he does, we'll prepare ourselves. If he doesn't know a thing, we'll deal with the matter and settle things with the

police."

Zylan, who was still on his knees on the floor, immediately shot the man an ecstatic look as though the man was his

savior.

This man was none other than Wesley Yarbrough, Tilan Palace's advisor and also Hugo's best friend.

The next morning, Rosalie woke up early to head to school.

"Rosie, remember to be a good girl at school, stop making your father upset. I heard that you kicked up a fuss at

the penthouse yesterday."
