Chapter 433 - Relief (5) (1/2)
11 May, JL International Mall, City F
Two hours later, sitting around a table, Matthew looked at John, Ben, Joseph, David and Head Honcho before saying ”For what it is worth, my conclusions are that behind this was the Devil. The locating of what appears to be the trigger person on the third level, clearly killed by a cleaner, and the nature of the maximising of casualties for the minimum deaths is the hallmark of what he does. Anyone else?”
Head Honcho after pausing for a few seconds seeing no one else responding, said ”No. Mr Nang, can you go out and front the press conference…”
”Where the hell is that b*stard Matthew Rong,” came the interrupting voice from outside.
Matthew looked at John and the two of them saw a look of terror pass across their faces. Chester was here and he was furious at Matthew. They heard a voice outside say ”Let me see if I can locate General Rong.” A few seconds later a female solider came in saying ”General Li, General Rong, Colonels, Mr Nang, there is a President Rong of JL International and a Mr Yao with him. They have been demanding for about fifteen minutes to see General Rong.”
John stood up, and before he could move Matthew grabbed his arm and said ”Do not think you are escaping those two…”
”I have to get ready for a press conference…”
”Without the senior JL International representative on site, I do not think so.”
Matthew looked at Ben, David and Joseph who were all stifling their laughter, before Head Honcho said, ”Show them in, but follow up with Colonel Zhang as to whether there is news regarding Madam Rong.”
”Yes Sir,” was the immediate response and within a minute, Chester came charging in followed by Phillip.
As soon as Matthew came into Chester's line of sight, he yelled ”You b*stard. I wish you never came back, because around you my sister is always getting hurt…” As he had reached Matthew, he swung at him, connecting on the left side of his face.
Matthew signalled to everyone to stand back. ”Chester, I will let you get away with that, once and once only, because you are worried about Lexi.”
”So, you b*stard…” responded Chester, the anger in his voice becoming more intent. He then drew his arm back getting ready to hit Matthew again
Hearing Matthew's clear warning John quickly moved and grabbed Chester pushing him back because he knew Matthew and the military would not give him another chance before saying ”Chester, don't go there. Next time will not be so pleasant. Just think about who you hit…”
”That b*stard who is my brother-in-law, so what,” came Chester's irate reply.
”Yes, your brother-in-law, and you might get away with that in private as he will not want to upset your husband let alone his wife by doing anything, but get a grip he is in uniform. You struck a general. You think normally you would even get a warning for doing that? No. You would be taken away. Matthew is being understanding but I am not. If I have to I will have you charged with assault.”
