In the afternoon, Wade brought a few journalists along, and he arrived smugly at the bridge on Sealake Island.
"Hey, you! Did you guys call me?" Wade asked while looking up.
Charles walked out of his room and smiled, replying, "Yes. My employer is looking for you. Please wait."
"What is this? Tell him to hurry up," Wade replied in a displeased tone.
Charles smiled and nodded before making a call to Wilbur.
However, he was snickering to himself inside.
He knew that Wade was only digging his own grave.
Did he not know who the people staying on Sealake Island were? Any one of them could give him hell if they wanted to.
Wilbur soon walked out of his house. He crossed the bridge and approached Wade.
Wade sized him up.
Wilbur smiled and asked, "Mister Holen, how about we sit down and have a chat?"
"What do we have to chat about? Should we talk about how you guys abused your power to arrest the elderly?" asked Wade with his head held high.
Wilbur chuckled and sat on a nearby bench, patting the seat next to him.
Wade scoffed and walked over, taking a seat without hesitation.
Wilbur smiled and said, "I explained this very clearly before, but I would like to talk to you to avoid escalating the issue. This will be the end of it, alright?"
"The end of it?" Wade chuckled and said, "Arresting the elderly isn't something minor. Don't even think for a moment that you can command the special agents just because you're rich. When you are exposed, the special agents you conspired with will go down with you. Do you think this will be the end of it?"
Wilbur frowned and asked slowly, "What do you think I should do?"
Wilbur watched Wade pretend to give some caring advice, then smiled as he nodded along. He said, "That makes sense, but is my money going to you, or to Susan Yown's son?"
"I told you this money is required for the whole ordeal to end. Don't be a conspiracy theorist, alright? Otherwise, no one will be able to save you," Wade retorted.
Wilbur hurriedly nodded and said, "Give me a bank account. I'll transfer the money right away."
Wade sneered coldly and gave Wilbur his banking details.
Wilbur then transferred the money without hesitation.
Wade had a greedy look when he saw the money being transferred. After that, he said glaringly, "Consider it settled. You'll be doomed if anyone finds out about this."
"Oh yeah? Are you sure I'm the one who will be in trouble?" asked Wilbur with a grin.
Wade looked at Wilbur and asked slowly, "What do you mean by that?"
