Chapter 34 (1/2)

Phoenix knew that it was useless to say anything now. She had to find out what was going on.

At the moment, she still did not know who was causing trouble for Steven.

She also felt strange. Why would someone assassinate him?

Could it be that someone in the company had a conflict with Steven?

Or was it someone else who had a conflict with Steven?

She had to investigate this thoroughly!

Phoenix said apologetically, “I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”

“Okay, I look forward to your answer.” Steven did not say anything else.

Phoenix left. Colbert looked at the strawberries with reluctance.

As an appraiser, it was rare to see such good quality level-4 fruits!

Phoenix left the floating island and looked at the hunk with his head lowered. Then, she said coldly, “Jeffrey, do you know what you’re doing?”

Jeffrey lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He did not expect the assassination to fail.

Phoenix did not say anything. Instead, she brought him to the car.

The car drove to a skyscraper that reached the clouds. Looking up, there were more than 200 floors.

This was the scale of DD Food Company, which mainly purchases the food from the floating island.

After that, it was processed and packaged and sold at a very high price.

Phoenix was only a tiny member of the company. She mainly contacted the owner of the floating island and maintained a relationship with him.

She had an office of her own. So she took him in and closed the door.

Phoenix crossed her arms and asked, “What happened? Why did you try to assassinate him?”

Jeffrey was silent. He gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Phoenix said in a deep voice, “Do you know how much money we lost because of your actions?”

Jeffrey was still silent. He did not say a word.

Phoenix sneered, “Alright since you won’t say anything, I will send you to the police. You should know the consequences.”

“Miss Phoenix.” Jeffrey hurriedly raised his head and begged, “Please don’t send me to the police!”

“You dare to make demands after doing such a thing?”

“No… no.” Jeffrey was speechless.

“If you can tell me the reason, I can plead for you since you’ve been with me for five days.”

Jeffrey looked at her in surprise.

Phoenix said lightly, “Of course, if you don’t tell me, then you should be very clear about the consequences.”

Jeffrey pondered for a moment and said with difficulty, “I… I took money from someone else to assassinate him.”

“Who is it?” Phoenix said coldly.

“Mr. Marcus,” Jeffrey said.

“Who is it?”

“He is from the Black Dragon Society,” Jeffrey said again.

Phoenix frowned slightly. She obviously did not expect that this matter would be related to the Black Dragon Society.

She frowned. “Mr. Steven is related to the Black Dragon Society?”

Jeffrey said, “Mr. Steven seems to have argued with Mr. Marcus. So Marcus decided to teach him a lesson.”

Phoenix said in a deep voice, “Teaching him a lesson is killing people?”

Jeffrey lowered his head and said, “They asked me to stab him so that he can’t stay on the floating island anymore.”

Phoenix frowned. She finally understood that these people wanted Steven to leave the floating island.

The Black Dragon Association was a triad organization. If Steven came out, he definitely would not have a good ending.

She looked at Jeffrey and said in a deep voice, “Don’t you like working here? Why did you agree to such a request?”

“My… my wife is seriously ill. I need a level-4 fruit to cure her. I have no other way!”
