Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Overpowering all Disobedience (4th Update)
“`
Carnegie finally erupted!
Who cares about reputation, at worst we can just change the brand!
If the agreement is signed now, that would be a huge loss for him!
With that thought, he signaled with his eyes.
In an instant, numerous security guards locked down the entire hall.
Their guns, dark as black holes, all pointed at Xue An. At Carnegie’s command, they wouldn’t hesitate to turn Xue An into a sieve.
Bad news! Carnegie has turned hostile!
Guo Xiaoliang and Cai Lalan were about to rush forward.
Just then, Xue An seemed to sense their movements and said without turning his head, “No need for you to act!”
As he spoke, Xue An leaned back against the soft leather chair, watching Carnegie with interest.
“What’s the matter? Losing your cool?”
Carnegie sneered, “I was quite puzzled why you are so calm, but now I understand!”
“Oh? Why is that?”
“Because you are completely insane!” Carnegie said with a sinister smile, ready to make his move.
At that moment, a ringtone sounded.
The ringing of the phone seemed so out of place in the deadly silent and tense atmosphere.
Carnegie paused for a moment, then saw Mike running up with a pale face, whispering, “Boss, your phone!”
“What the hell with the phone, can’t you see what’s happening here?” Carnegie was furious!
“But you must take this call, because it’s… from Mr. Langfero!” Mike said with a trembling voice.
Langfero!
Carnegie’s expression turned odd when he heard that name.
What’s going on?
Why would the FBI boss Langfero personally call him?
Carnegie was filled with doubt but still quickly answered the call.
“Mr. Langfero, hello! What can I do for you?” Carnegie was very respectful to Langfero.
Langfero was slightly shaking on the other end of the line. After hearing Carnegie’s words, he took a deep breath, “Carnegie, did you send someone through my staff to inquire about a person?”
Carnegie was taken aback.
Indeed, he had just used a contact who was an FBI agent to look into Xue An’s background.
But he hadn’t expected it to alert Langfero.
“Yes, Mr. Langfero, it might be a bit against the rules, but I will make a donation to the FBI afterward!”
This had become an unwritten rule in the politics of M Country.
Certain not-so-legal actions could be made to appear legal through donations.
But clearly, Langfero hadn’t called him over this matter.
At the moment, the cold sweat on Langfero’s face started to drip, “Let’s talk about that later. What I want to know is, why are you inquiring about this man?”
“Because… he is currently in my casino, and I suspect he’s cheating!” Carnegie said confidently.
Langfero felt a darkness before his eyes, nearly fainting.
At this point, Carnegie, still somewhat confused, said, “Mr. Langfero, is there a problem? If there’s nothing else, I need to hang up, because this damn guy has won all my money, and today I’m definitely going to make him pay!”
Carnegie said, full of murderous intent, and then he was about to hang up the phone.
“`
Just then, a thunderous roar came from the phone, “Stop!”
Carnegie was stunned, “What… what happened?”
Meanwhile, in the upper echelons of the FBI office building, all the busy agents were jolted by the roar emanating from the boss’s office.
What’s the matter?
Who had made the boss so angry?
Langfero stood up at this moment and spoke with an unwavering tone, “Carnegie, if you want to make it to dinner tonight, you must carry out my words to the letter!”
Without waiting for Carnegie’s response, Langfero continued.
“The person you’re inquiring about is someone nobody can afford to provoke, no matter how much he’s won from you, give it all to him, not a penny less, and don’t harbor any other thoughts! If you do well and show sincere attitude, you might just stay alive! Otherwise, not even the President can save you! Understand?”
Hearing Langfero’s words, Carnegie’s face was full of disbelief, “But…”
“There are no buts! If you, you damned fool, anger this Divine Slaughter, not only will you be finished, but Las Vegas might have to play along to the end, and even the whole of M Country might be dragged down with you, do you understand?”
Carnegie’s complexion gradually turned pale; as a wealthy man on this level, he naturally would know of many things that ordinary people had no access to.
“Mr. Langfero, are you saying…”
Langfero said in a grave voice, “Don’t be resentful, because there have been many before you who felt the same and did not yield, like the Bell Family from the City of Sin, like the Church of Light…”
This statement was like a bolt from the blue that almost made Carnegie unsteady on his feet, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
He knew about the happenings in the City of Sin, and he was well aware of what had taken place in the Holy Nation of Light.
So the identity of this man was on the verge of being revealed.
The sovereign of the age, who overwhelmed all dissent!
Sensing Carnegie’s utter horror, Langfero heaved a sigh, then spoke in a tone that brooked no negotiation, “Mr. Carnegie, may God bless you! But I think, even God is powerless against this man! So you better take good care of yourself, but remember, if you provoke him and cause more severe consequences, even if you die, your family will suffer the harshest punishment!”
With that, Langfero hung up the phone.
He believed he had made himself clear enough.
Unless Carnegie was a fool, he should know what to do now.
At this moment, however, Carnegie’s mind was a complete blank.
Mike stepped forward, “Boss, do we take action now?”
Carnegie shivered, and fiercely slapped him across the face.
Smack!
Mike was sent flying, and when he landed on the ground, half of his face had swollen like a pig’s head.
This slap left everyone stunned.
What’s going on?
After just one phone call, why did Carnegie look as though he had lost a son, his face full of despair?
Su Feiya rushed over quickly, “Boss, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Carnegie took a deep breath, grabbed Su Feiya by the hair, and pushed her to the ground. With blood-red eyes, he said, “You whore, it’s all because of you. Now kneel down to Mr. Xue at once!”
Su Feiya lay on the ground in disarray, having lost every bit of her earlier graceful demeanor. Hearing Carnegie’s words, her face turned deathly pale too.
If Carnegie’s attitude had changed drastically after receiving a phone call, it meant that the identity of this Chinese man was nothing like what she had imagined, not just some expert in sleight of hand.
His true identity might be something beyond her wildest imagination, something truly revered!
She was a clever woman and promptly knelt on the ground as she ought to.
This scene baffled everyone present.
Had Carnegie lost his mind?
Only Xue An gradually began to reveal a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
