Chapter 280: Chapter 280 - The True Master
Delmar grinned, "Yeah, I just blew up every place that had been compromised."
William and Adam looked at him with wide mouth's not knowing what to say about that.
They knew he was a crazy guy but this… this was a new level of crazy that they haven't seen in others… except for crazy people that is.
"Are you f*cking crazy? Why the hell would you do that for?" Adam asked as he looked at Delmar with a shocked appearance.
"Why else? It's because of this guy," Delmar pointed at the broken and beaten down Carl, "that I had to do something like this."
"Bu- But this is just too crazy!!"
"Yeah, Delmar. I have to agree with him as well." William said, "We already have many people looking at our backs and now what you did just now is not only going to cause a lot of sound but people will literally come hounding at us."
"Oh! I knew you would say something like that, boss." Delmar gave a smile as both William and Adam looked at him with suspicious eyes.
Delmar walked slowly towards Carl while saying, "Don't worry about the explosions coming back to us, I removed all the paper trails that can be connected to us."
"So when they look at who owns the buildings and properties, it won't be me then?" William asked.
Delmar shook his head, "No, they won't. All the places with underground facilities and other stuff had always been under a fake name and identity, so even if they tried very hard… they'll find someone with a small farmhouse back in some back-ridden place."
"Also…" Delmar had a dark smile, "I did this to also make the people that were looking at us, take a step back too."
William and Adam, even though were quite skeptical about his ways of doing things, had to nod to this move.
With this move not only has he cleaned up their problems but also was able to strike the people who were hurting them back without any legal evidence. Which at this time and moment was a lot more valuable to them.
"So for confirmation, nothing of the crazy thing that you did just now, won't come biting back at our asses then?" Adam asked still a bit skeptical about all this.
Delmar nodded, "Relax, short sword, It won't. It's actually much better that I did this. Now the police and the news reporters will have a new target they would have to follow, so we will get some temporary peace from them."
William nodded in relief but Adam asked, "And how are you sure that they will let us off so easily? They could basically look at that and try to f*ck us as well."
"They could but they won't," Delmar had a dark smile as he said, "Not with the number of bodies that is left behind in those places."
"Those bodies," William looked at him suspiciously and asked, "They are not any of our people right?"
"Nope, all are from the Violet Boeli Family and the one this f*cker is… was afraid of."
William nodded, "So getting back to the main topic, Who is the guy?"
"That's the tricky part, boss."
"What! You still don't know?" Discover tales on m_vl_em_p_yr
"No no, I know… it's just not something that you would want to know."
William had a headache coming to him as he said, "Please, don't tell me it's someone we know."
"Not personally, No." Delmar said while going back a bit farther from Carl as William and Delmar followed him. He took the tablet from the floating tray beside them and showed a picture.
"It's this guy."
The picture was that of a guy in his 60's with white hair and teeth that were slightly crooked. His face had also deteriorated quite a bit but you could tell that the guy was a looker back when he was young.
He wore expensive clothes and had a proud aura around him that was visible just from his photo.
All in all, an old guy that seemed to be someone very important.
When William saw the photo, he didn't notice anything strange or knew about the man but Adam who saw it, frowned and said, "This is troublesome."
William looked at him and asked, "Why? Is this guy really that problematic?"
Now it was Adam and Delmar to get shocked as they asked, "Boss, you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"About this guy?" Delmar said showing the photo a little closer.
"Nothing. I don't know him and I don't think I heard about him." William said backing away from the phone that was so close to his face.
Delmar and Adam were silent for a moment before the first one said, "This is going to be even more problematic then I thought." In confirmation to his words, Adam also nodded.
William couldn't handle the suspense anymore and asked, "Stop acting like that and just tell me who the guy is."
"Well… boss." Delmar said, his face a bit frowning, "That guy is Franch Saverbolt."
"And?"
"…And is the next master of the Saverbolt Great house."
William went quiet as he finally understood why Adam and Delmar were acting like that just now. So he had not only one great house already trying to kill him but now there a new addition too.
William didn't know whether to laugh at himself for such a miserable fate or just cry it out. He took a big breath and sat on the rotating chair beside him and asked, "And why is the next master of great house sooo interested in me?"
"It's because of the Freiggart Great House."
"Them again?" William asked doubtfully, "Why are they connected with this?"
"Well it's really simple actually." Delmar then swiped the tab as another picture appeared. A picture of a women in her 30's with a mid-range beauty and C Cup breasts.
"This is the daughter of the Savorbolt Great Houses, Master. And this…" Delmar swiped the screen again as the photo changed once more, "is the reason why they are after us as well."
"Well f*ck me."
The new photo was that of the daughter of the Savorbolt family and Fraic Freiggart. A family photo of them with three children's standing in front of them.
'So not only was that guy troublesome when he was alive… he's fu*king troubling me while his dead too.' William thought before swiping the tab and looked at different photos of them and their family together.
"Well… this couldn't have been any worse." William said and looked back at Carl, "But when did they contact him, it couldn't have been before the auction as we didn't have any connection to them yet."
"I guess it must have been after we came here," Delmar said, "And that to fast. Most of the places they know about us, are only the new ones… the ones that Carl only knows about because I showed it to him as an emergency hiding location."
William nodded and asked, "Is there anything else for me to know about? How much has Carl damaged us then?"
"Don't worry boss, He didn't do much to us except point a few more insignificant places but…" Delmar frowned, "You won't like the number that been burned away because of this fuc*er."
