Chapter 427 The Sound Of A Snake
When the guards left, they also cleaned up the other corpse. Isabella was also in a bad mood, so she brought Betty back to the house.
At the same time, on the mine, a scarred man was tied up and brought to Draxton.
"Mr. Lockwood, this is the person who tried to steal the ore. If it weren't for our people keeping a close eye on him, he would have really escaped.
"This person is also an Arcanist. He knows how to turn Invisible!" Thomas said with lingering fear.
Draxton said, "Is this person your subordinate?"
Thomas's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Yes, Mr. Lockwood. This person has always been the captain of one of my guards. However, I never expected him to hide his strength!"
At this point, Thomas could not help but look angry. He never expected that there would be a spy beside him, and it was an Arcanist.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but kick the man and say angrily, "I've really wronged you!"
That man had been tortured before, and now he was kicked by Thomas, but he did not make a sound. His expression was very cold as if he did not care about his situation.
Draxton glanced at the man. The man looked ordinary, but at this moment, he had a fearless aura.
Draxton smiled and said, "Take him away and kill him."
The man's calm expression changed.
Thomas was also shocked and said, "Mr. Lockwood, are you not going to interrogate him?"
Draxton said, "He's just a spy. I know who he works for. There's no need to interrogate him."
Draxton's expression was indifferent but resolute. Thomas was originally a little hesitant, but at this moment, he did not dare to disobey at all. He agreed and brought that person down to deal with it. "You can't kill me!"
Halfway through the way, that person was finally afraid. He couldn't help but roar and start to struggle.
Draxton ignored him. Seeing this, Thomas sneered and kicked that person again. He ordered someone to quickly bring that person down.
Mr. Hendrix walked over and said to Draxton, "Mr. Lockwood, I really didn't expect Thomas's man to be a spy. He's even an Arcanist. Now, I'm not sure if there is a similar spy in the Hendrix family." Mr. Hendrix looked uneasy.
Draxton looked at him and said, "It's hard to say. However, there must be other spies in this mine. But it doesn't matter. With the Red Crystal Warriors mixed in, even if there are spies, they won't be able to cause trouble."
Mr. Hendrix nodded and said, "The signal is blocked here, and the news can't be sent out. In at most two months, we will be able to mine the first batch of ores."
Draxton nodded. "Alright, keep a close eye on this place."
With that, he stood up and left.
Draxton was eager to return home. If not for the fact that there was a spy in the mine, he would not have left. Isabella's side.
Now that he had dealt with the spy, he could not wait to return home.
When Draxton returned, he saw that Jocelyn did not look good.
When he saw Isabella sitting opposite Jocelyn, his expression changed and he said nervously, "Master Grey, what's wrong?"
When he asked, Jocelyn's expression turned even gloomier. Landon sighed and said, "There's a spy in Jocelyn's manor. I really didn't expect it. The inspection team of the council is not reliable either." People in Jocelyn's manor were all transferred from the inspection team of the council.
The inspection team was one of the important forces in the council. They had to go through layers of strict selection before they could join. However, it was obvious that even so, it was still not completely safe. Draxton looked at Isabella and said, "Someone attacked Bella?"
Isabella said, "It's a small matter. Two Arcanists came in to kidnap me and Betty, but I dealt with them." Draxton's face instantly turned livid.
Isabella said, "That's too normal. President is forcing us to go back."
"He's not forcing us to go back. He wants us to die," Draxton said.
Isabella said, "I'm afraid the news of our fake death has already reached Dawton City. Draxton, What exactly is the President trying to do?"
"The force of the Lockwood family is so amazing that it affects the President's status.
"Previously, I faked my death because I wanted the President to make a move. I didn't expect him to be so undisguised"
"What are your plans?" Isabella asked.
"In two months, after the first batch of ores is mined, we'll return to Dawton City."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"I'm afraid the return trip won't be too smooth," Isabella said.
Draxton's eyes darkened. "It will go smoothly."
Isabella absorbed the energy from the ore every day. Two months later, her fetus was stable.
The child was healthy and well-behaved. Isabella had a good physique, so she did not seem to have any discomfort with pregnancy.
If not for the fact that she had been sleeping a little too much recently, she would be no different from an ordinary person.
The first batch of ores had been mined. They were handed over to the council for research.
At the same time, the Lockwood family's scientific research team and Little Dipper's team were on their way to Mystical Island.
Naturally, they came to Mystical Island to study ores with the council. Furthermore, the Lockwood family's people would also participate in the mining of ores.
This is a collaboration between the Lockwood family and the council.
Originally, Draxton intended to contact the President and cooperate with the council in the name of Lucsia, but President's recent actions made the Lockwood family give up on the idea.
The Lockwood family's men set off for Mystical Island, causing quite a commotion.
Dawton City.
The President's expression changed when he received the news. "What is Draxton trying to do? At this time, the Lockwood family is in danger because of me. He didn't send anyone to guard the Lockwood family but sent people out instead. What is the ore found on Mystical Island?"
Speaking of this, the President was furious. His men tried everything to investigate, but they could not bring out a piece of ore and even sent a message.
"Draxton... He's indeed the Lockwood family's most powerful patriarch. Most importantly, he's too hardworking. He's completely different from the others in the Lockwood family."
The President had no sense of accomplishment. Now, everyone knew that he was aiming at the Lockwood family. He had taken over many branches and businesses of the Lockwood family.
On the surface, the Lockwood family had lost half of its property. Everyone felt that the Lockwood family was finished.
However, only he knew that what he had done was far from enough to bring down the Lockwood family.
And the reason for his success was that no one from the Lockwood family did anything. Other than Draxton, were all people of the Lockwood family so lazy?
Were they lazy or disdainful?
The President's expression did not look good.
"What about Wesley?" The President turned around and asked his General Commander.
The General Commander braced himself and said, "Mr. Wesley Lyons walks the bird and plays with the baby every day. He has never considered your suggestion."
The President's face darkened even more.
He used Ricky to threaten Wesley to return to Dawton City two months ago. Wesley had returned indeed. However, Wesley did not do his job every day and protected Ricky. He could not do anything to Wesley.
The President closed his eyes and said, "Was I too gentle?"
The General Commander's expression froze. "Sir, Mr. Wesley Lyons is your biological brother after all. There must be another way to persuade him to hand over the Black Crystal Potion."
The President fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "If I'm not wrong, Draxton and Isabella are coming back. They... don't have to come back."
The General Commander's expression turned cold. "Yes, Sir. I'll do it now."
The President waved his hand and gestured for him to do it.
The General Commander turned around and left.
Half an hour later, the General Commander returned in a hurry.
"Sir, something happened. We've lost contact with our people."
The General Commander's tone was unprecedentedly anxious.
The President's expression changed.
The General Commander said, "I contacted the people hiding on Mystical Island just now, but... after the call was connected, the sound of a snake came from the other side."
The veins on the President's forehead twitched as he looked at the General Commander in a daze.
The General Commander wanted to cry but had no tears. He said awkwardly, "It's indeed the sound of a snake."
At this moment, on Mystical Island, Terry and Jacqueline were arrested by the council.
The communication device on them was being played with by Betty.
At the same time, there was one in front of the big snake.
When the General Commander connected the communication device, the big snake heard the sound coming from the gadget. It was immediately frightened and hissed threateningly at the gadget.
