Chapter 911 Blame On Someone Else

Zeke shrugged, nonchalantly saying, “If they're not my people, I'm not interested. Do as you please, Mr. Hoffman.”

Tucker lowered his voice and spoke to his personal bodyguard beside him. “Drag that illegitimate child out and move him somewhere else. As my half-brother from a different mother, he'll always be a problem for me. There's no telling when he might become a stumbling block in my path if I don't be rid of him now.”

“Understood,” replied the bodyguard.

After watching the bodyguard leave, Tucker scanned his surroundings.

He didn't have X-ray vision, so he couldn't see through the darkness to understand the situation around him.

However, he could feel that relentless, invisible pressure, akin to the call of the Grim Reaper, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

“Mr. Shurmer, I have agreed to your demands. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise and withdraw the snipers surrounding us?” Although Tucker didn't see any ambush around him, he was certain that Zeke must have had many guns aimed at his head.

Zeke smiled and said, “As long as you don't employ any underhanded tricks or make any sneaky moves, my people won't pull the trigger. On the contrary, if you try pulling any tricks under my watch... Well, I'm sorry to say, this day next year may be your end.”

Though he spoke casually, there was an undeniable force of intimidation in his tone.

Tucker didn't doubt Zeke's words for a second. He's not gentle and refined at all. If anything, he's a ruthless man. He established himself on the international stage and became the leader in the pharmaceutical industry. He's an overlord of the world, not some simple shmuck.

Suddenly, the situation once again fell into a stalemate.

A few minutes later, the bodyguard who hastily left returned. “Mr. Hoffman, there's no trace of Archie in the secret chamber. The guards are all dead, and he seems to have vanished into thin air.”

A hint of anger began to simmer in Tucker's eyes. Letting Archie escape is akin to releasing a tiger back into the mountains! How did he escape so easily with so many bodyguards watching him?

He then shifted his gaze to Zeke. Could it be this guy...

Upon further thought, he deemed it impossible. Archie was imprisoned within the fortified city. To rescue him, the outer defenses must first be breached.

However, when he arrived, the defenses outside were still intact. They hadn't been damaged.
