Owen was at his wits end now. He had no choice but to ask for help. He used half of his entire fortune in exchange for Ethan's death, but it was worth it. As long as Ethan died, even if he was suspected, so what?
Owen's words immediately made the mafia boss frown. Following that, the latter immediately agreed. He could get half of Owen's fortune if he killed that person. This was worth it.
Hearing Owen's voice from the surveillance camera, Matthew revealed a cold smile. As expected, Owen had greater influential power than he thought.
Owen directly contacting the mafia boss and putting a hit on Ethan was expected.
In that case, Matthew decided to follow the clues and uncover the truth.
At this moment, within Wakanda territory, the mafia boss gave the order for his men to catch Ethan. Ethan had nowhere to hide and was quickly caught.
In line with Owen's request, Ethan was a goner.
So after capturing him, the subordinates showed no mercy, beating Ethan until he was a bloody mess. At that point, Ethan was barely alive.
When Owen received the news, he was thrilled.
'Good lord, this bastard almost ruined my plans! Fortunately, he has been caught!' he thought.
Owen peeked outside. It had been three days since he made the call, and he had figured out the timing of the guards' shift change.
Taking advantage of a shift change in the dead of night, Owen quietly opened the door and slipped out while the guards were at their sleepiest.
When Owen reached a spot with no one around, he broke into a run and, after meeting up with the mafia boss's men, got into the car and sped away.
Little did he know that the moment he left the building, he was being monitored. A black car followed silently behind him.
When Owen arrived at the mafia boss's territory, he immediately saw the person lying on the ground. Anger surged within him. Without hesitation, Owen went forward and threw punches and kicks at the person!
He casually took a gun and prepared to kill Ethan with his own hands. "You bastard, I was almost done for this time! It's all because of you!"
Ethan, barely clinging to life, was covered in blood when he saw Owen. Ethan was trembling as he wiped the blood from his eyes and hurriedly grabbed onto Owen's pant leg.
"M-Mr. Anderson, you can't..." Ethan said.
Owen interrupted, "You have caused me to be in such a miserable state, yet you still have the nerve to talk?
"Only the dead can keep secrets!"
Ethan was scared out of his wits. After such a long time, ultimately, he was caught by Owen's men.
He could not die just like that. Ethan quickly grabbed Owen's pants and said, "Please, I beg of you. I will never tell anyone!
"So many years have passed. Haven't I guarded this secret very well? Besides, I've done what I promised you back then. Please spare me!"
Owen did not agree to that. He said, "I don't believe you. I will only be completely safe when you're dead.
"Matthew is coming after me. If you don't die, I'll be the one to die. Ethan, if you must blame someone, blame it on your stroke of bad luck. If you hadn't been spotted by him, it wouldn't have come to this."
Right now, everyone was looking at Owen. Owen had a sinister smile on his face. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was suddenly a loud bang from outside!
Instantly, everyone felt dizzy and disoriented.
Owen lost his balance and fell to the ground. After he composed himself, noisy footsteps sounded from outside.
Owen suddenly had a bad feeling and yelled, "Hurry up and kill him. Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dense gunshots came from outside. In the next second, Matthew barged in with his men.
"Owen, how have you been?" Matthew asked.
The moment he saw Matthew, Owen was dumbfounded.
"It's you? Contact the boss!" Owen shouted to the men.
Hearing this, Matthew narrowed his eyes and slapped Owen hard across the face.
Matthew said, "Does a lie become a truth if you say it often enough?
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who you can fool?"
The force was hard enough that Owen's head whipped to the side. Owen's face burned from the slap and anger surged through him. "What exactly do you want, Matthew? Since you don't trust me, why did you get me to help you find Ethan?
"Think about those people in Kranson City. Lay a finger on me if you dare!"
When Matthew saw that Owen actually dared to be so arrogant and even threatened him, he could not help but feel a surge of anger.
He said, "Owen, since I allowed you to come to Wakanda, I have never thought of letting you go back!
"You want to threaten me? Are you sure that the people in Kranson City will listen to you?
"The four people you left behind live in the Building 66 of Shorefront Villa right?"
When Owen heard Matthew say that, his face paled. He did not expect Matthew to know about this.
Seeing Owen like this, Matthew reached out and patted his face.
"I've already informed your subordinates. When the time comes, they'll say that you died in the conflict in Wakanda. The death of a person in Wakanda won't raise many suspicions.
"If that's the case, Valerie and my son will have nothing to worry about anymore. Perhaps I can even get someone to seize the Anderson Group!"
Matthew's words scared Owen out of his wits. He shook his head and held Matthew's hand. "Don't do it! Our families are related!"
"Get lost!" Matthew flipped him over. "We're not relatives!
"When you targeted Valerie and me, you have already destroyed any goodwill between us!"
