Chapter 360 Gaining an Informant

“Dad, why are you stopping me?” Jessica asked. “We lost so many of our businesses

because he’s such a loser!”

Too furious to process the situation, Jessica shoved all the blame onto Kevin.

“Kevin’s right. Even I would have a hard time dealing with Lincoln, let alone him. We can’t

blame him for everything,” Saul said as he shot Jessica a look.

Now that he had calmed down, he knew this was no coincidence.

Even if the Masseys tried their best to stop this, it would be futile.

Instead of wasting time scolding Kevin for what happened, it was better for them to focus

on finding a solution to their crisis.

However, Jessica had more to say. “But-”

“That’s enough! Quiet!” Saul barked, cutting her off.

Then, he turned around and gave Kevin a pat on the shoulder. “Jessica was just a little too

emotional just now. That’s why she took her anger out on you. You won’t hold it against

her, right, Kevin?”

Kevin was speechless. What were Saul and Jessica doing? Were they trying to use both the

carrot and the stick on him?

Of course, no matter how disgruntled Kevin was, he dared not voice his discontent.

Forcing out a smile, he said, “Of course, Dad! Jessica’s my wife. Why would I hold this

against her?”

Saul nodded and said, “Good! You’re a good son–in–law. Go and get your wounds treated.

It wouldn’t be good if someone saw you looking like that.”

“Alright,” Kevin said before leaving.

Once he was gone, Jessica huffed in dissatisfaction. “Why are you being so courteous with

that loser, Dad?”

‘You’re being too short–sighted. That bastard is still of use to us. We need to care about his

feelings,” Saul said coolly as his expression hardened.

“How can a loser be of any use to us?” T

snorted scornfully.

Saul didn’t reply. He knew Jessica wouldn’t understand even if he explained himself.

tould do mext,” Saul sal

“Let’s stop talking about him and think about what we should do next,” Saul said with a

frown.

The Masseys were caught in an unprecedented crisis. If they didn’t overcome this, the

entire family would be in danger.

During the process of expanding their power and influence, the family had made

numerous enemies.

If their enemies found out about the Masseys‘ predicament, they would certainly seize the

chance to bring down the family, too.

“Do you have any ideas, Dad?” Jessica hastily asked as the severity of the situation

dawned on her.

“No. We’ll have to ask my dad!” Saul said as he shook his head.

“Grandpa?” Jessica exclaimed.

Meanwhile, over at Zott Manor, Caspian was sitting on the couch as he questioned Eric

coolly, “Hurry up and tell the truth. Did the Masseys instruct you to commit those crimes?”

He knew things weren’t as simple as they seemed. Eric was just a puppet.

“I did it all on my own accord. It has nothing to do with the Masseys,” Eric replied.

apprehensively as he kneeled on the floor.

“You, Eric? Without the Masseys giving you orders, would a hooligan like you dare to do

those things? Are you saying this because you want to be their scapegoat?

“Do you know what the consequences are? You might be spending the rest of your life in

prison!” Caspian said with a derisive chuckle.

“Don’t bother asking any more questions. I did it all myself. Do whatever you want to me,”

Eric said with great difficulty.

He didn’t want to hear what Caspian had to say anymore. The sooner he was handed over

to the authorities, the sooner his wife and family would be out of harm’s way.

“Eric, I’m guessing the Masseys have leverage over you. Is Saul using your family to

coerce you?” Caspian asked with a smile.

Eric froze. Then, he whipped his head up and stared at Caspian as he asked, “How did you

know?”

“It’s easy enough to uncover such a simple matter. A quick investigation suffices. If I can

save your family, are you willing to be the witness and expose all of the Masseys‘ doings?”

Caspian

asked.

Sylvia’s intelligence network could not be underestimated.

Eric’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, “Can you do it? Why should I believe you?”

“That’s not a problem at all. Bring them in,” Caspian called out.

Bernard brought two people in–a woman and a little girl.

Eric was stunned to see his wife and daughter.

“Daddy! Daddy!” the little girl cried out.

“Eric! Are you alright?”

The three of them hugged each other and sobbed.

“That’s enough. You’ve seen each other. Time to go,” Lincoln said.

Bernard and his men took Eric’s wife and daughter away.

“Eric!” his wife exclaimed.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine!” Eric assured her tearfully.

He could only watch as his wife and daughter were led off.

Meanwhile, Caspian remained seated on the couch with a nonchalant expression. It was as

if he knew he had everything under control.

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch! If I tell you everything the Masseys have done, will you spare me?”

Eric asked with his eyes fixed on Caspian.

He had to get Caspian to vouch for his safety.

“You must pay for your

crimes. You’re going to prison!” Caspian said curtly.

Eric was a little disappointed, but he knew full well that he had committed numerous

crimes. It would be a little unrealistic of him to think he could get away unscathed. Still, as

long as he stayed alive and voluntarily acted as an informant, he might get a more lenient

sentence.

With his mind made up, Eric declared, “I’m willing to tell you the whole truth, Mr. Lynch! I

hope you’ll keep your promise.”

“I’m a man of my word,” Caspian declared proudly.

A long time ago, a dying comrade of Caspian had asked him to seek revenge on his behalf.

For that reason alone, Caspian went deep behind enemy lines and braved through an

army of hundreds of thousands to kill the enemy’s commander!

Naturally, as someone who became the Diatoranian God of War, Caspian had an

indomitable spirit.

He would certainly do as he said.

Having made up his mind, Eric told Caspian everything the Masseys had done, and Lincoln

made a record of everything Eric said.

Thus, the Masseys‘ crimes were brought to light.

Everyone who saw the list of crimes would be infuriated.

The Masseys had been aggressively expanding their influence, and in the process, they

got involved in numerous unlawful businesses, including running illegal casinos and clubs.

Even Lincoln was thunderstruck. He couldn’t believe that the Masseys had done so many

despicable things. They had no respect for the law at all!

Caspian slammed his hand against the stone table in front of him, which cracked and fell

apart. Everyone was shocked. Caspian was truly furious!
