Chapter 405 Warning
Chapter 405 Warning
Hana was working in her office as usual. There was supposed to be nothing happening except she got disturbed by a certain someone.
"Huh? Clovis?" Hana squinted her eyes. Usually, she had been clearing up her connection the whole time so that it didn't get tapped.
However, this was a problem since the call came from Clovis. Still, this was the first time Clovis called her, so she ended up answering the call. "Yeah? Do you need anything?"
"I'll explain later. Vasige City's Prison."
"Are you in prison or something? Alright. I'll try bailing you out. Don't say anything for now." Hana was completely confused. How could Clovis actually end up in prison? Although she didn't know him at a personal level, she at least knew his deeds.
Someone like him wouldn't be in prison unless it was a trap.
It seemed that someone was trying to mess him up. As for the reason, that could wait.
Hana didn't have much connection in this country, so the only thing she could do was find the best firm possible to handle Clovis' case, asking them to get him out as quickly as possible.
And after getting such a big client as well as a sum of cash, they immediately took care of the process.
However, what they didn't realize was that Clovis called Hana for another reason. Even if the lawyer was trying to do something, it would definitely require a bit of time. It didn't seem that bails would be working that effectively either.
Hence, Clovis changed his target from Hana to his grandfather. Yes, the last person he knew who was in contact with his grandfather was actually Hana. It wouldn't be wrong to notice that there was a high chance that his grandfather was keeping an eye on her, which resulted in him knowing about this matter.
On the one hand, he felt ashamed that he couldn't deal with this matter personally. It wasn't that he couldn't get out of prison. He just wanted to know the information about the experiment they did on him, the result, and the removal of it.
Although he didn't know much about it, the perfect state would definitely be one of the things they would find out from that research.
In order to destroy that record, he had no other choice but to manipulate the situation in a way that his grandfather had to make his move.
Richard simply walked to the table and picked up the phone located on the side of the table. "Sir, you might want to hear this."
The president frowned, not understanding what was going on.
As if noticing that the call had been connected, a heavy voice immediately echoed, "I thought that this country would be good for my grandson. It might not be a bad idea to let my grandson love the country and allow this country to claim him as your Tier 9 explorer.
"However, I was wrong. I'll give you a warning. Evacuate the entire city of Vasige. Within one month, anyone who is left will be destroyed along with the city."
The president didn't like this threat and asked, "Who are you?"
Unfortunately, the other person hung up. The president was perplexed, thinking that Richard wouldn't just tell him to listen to a simple threat. "Who is he?"
Richard, who had been listening to the call, gulped down as he answered with a hollow voice. "Michael Hacfield."
"Michael... what?" The president widened his eyes in disbelief.
"He claimed himself to be Michael Hacfield."
...
The threat didn't simply end with a single country. Obviously, the warning was extended to the CEO of Essence Bank.
He once had a talk with him in the past concerning Clovis. It was a small warning, asking him to stop searching for Clovis' identity.
"This is Frey. May I know who is speaking?" He casually asked.
A familiar voice resounded across the room. "I have told you to stop bothering my grandson. And to think that you are trying to use him as an experiment without his consent. It seems that Essence Bank has gone big enough that my warning only goes in one ear and out the other."
*Thud!*
