NOVPUBChapter 1388: 649 Education_4 Chapter 1388: 649 Education_4 Aubree Groove didn’t particularly care to know what went through their minds as she looked at them tossing their guns aside and sinking down before her.
“Guns in your hands can be weapons of murder, but in the hands of the police, they are tools of protection.
Do you understand the distinction?”
A moment of contemplation followed Aubree’s words.
The police are the bearers of justice, while they are incarnations of the devil.
At that moment, a man in the crowd went berserk, the sores covering his bare arm were extremely obvious.
Despair flooded everyone’s gaze.
It seemed they had lost the chance to repent and start new lives.
...
Aubree briskly approached and easily subdued the frenzied man.
She took a black pill from her pocket and shoved it down his throat, then applied pressure to his chest.
The man quickly calmed down, opened his eyes devoid of the previous bewilderment, and bowed down to Aubree.
Everyone finally realized the truth: she indeed had an antidote.
At that moment, their stares suggested that they regarded Aubree as their savior.
“From now on, behave yourselves, walk on the right path, avoid killing innocents.
Otherwise, not even the Great Master could save you.”
Victor was livid, cursing Aubree’s wiliness that had easily tricked these fools.
He nearly choked on his own fury.
Delan Sparrow came forward, “Your words, Ms.
Rinto, have opened my eyes.
It feels as though the years I’ve lived until now were wasted.”
“We can talk about the crew members’ whereabouts now, right?”
Delan Sparrow stole a glance at Victor and discreetly smirked, “Of course, please, Ms.
Rinto, let’s discuss this indoors.”
Before leaving, Aubree cast a fleeting glance in Leandro Alvarez’s direction.
Leandro Alvarez was guarding Victor, “Keep your temper in check.
Of everyone here, you’re the tough nut to crack.
You’ll pay for it soon.”
Victor spits out some blood, “You’ll pay for this.”
“Oh, tough guy, huh?
Beat him.” Leandro Alvarez ordered, and two men began brutally beating Victor.
“Throw him in the warehouse to reflect on this.
Let’s starve him for a few days and see if he’s still so stubborn.”
Bruised and battered, Victor was tossed into the warehouse like an old rag.
In the room, Delan Sparrow personally served tea to Aubree: “Ms.
Rinto, you’ve opened my eyes today.
From now on, I will heed your advice.”
Aubree pursed her lips: “Delan Sparrow, do you take me for a fool?
You’ve been withholding crucial information from the beginning, all this pirate camouflage you’ve created was just a smokescreen.
The secret the man behind all this wants to hide is!”
Her words trailed off as she gave Delan an incisive look.
Delan Sparrow shook his head in denial, “I knew I couldn’t fool you, Ms.
Rinto.
Can you guess what it is?”
“This land is nestled in the middle of the ocean, abundant in resources.
If it weren’t for its peculiar geographical location, it would have been a battleground for nations to fight over.
The strange illness the locals are suffering from, is no coincidence.
It’s a disease caused by radiation.
Living here for a long time leads to untreatable, fatal diseases.
Let me take a wild guess, it’s all due to a mining operation, right?”
Delan Sparrow seemed taken aback: “Ms.
Rinto, your astuteness truly surpasses my expectations.”
“Cut the act, I’m not in the mood to play riddles.
It must be something far more significant than a simple mine, for those people to go to such lengths to conceal it.
It’s an uranium mine, isn’t it?”
At this point, Delan Sparrow was unable to maintain his composure.
He had known she was intelligent, but he had underestimated her.
“Establishing a nuclear industry requires high technical expertise and huge financial investments beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The shadow behind you, not only wields enormous power but also harbors great ambitions.
A strategist with a beastly ambition, requires a suitable battlefield to perform.”
“It seems Ms.
Rinto has already guessed.”
Just then, Leandro Alvarez appeared at the door: “Mistress, I have failed in my duty.
Victor escaped by jumping into the sea.”
“I know.”
Delan Sparrow eyed her curiously, “Is Ms.
Rinto trying to lure the snake out of its hole?”
“I genuinely do not know who it is and have no desire to be embroiled in any national conflict.
But since I’m here, I must confront it.”
Delan Sparrow was honestly impressed by her audacity – it was unparalleled.
“Ms.
Rinto, I may sound a bit presumptuous, but I must warn you, the person behind all this and the power he represents, are far more dangerous than you could possibly imagine.”
