C346 Kill Her

Brian rushed toward Willy's office. He was in such a hurry that he opened the door without knocking. Willy immediately looked up, irritated. “Brian! You can't even knock? First you leave while we are talking, and now you come rushing into my office.” Brian didn't even stop to apologize. “Boss, look at this.” He quickly took out his phone and showed Willy the photograph. Willy stared at the screen.

For several seconds, he didn't say anything. Then his expression suddenly changed. “Isn't that Angus from the Gupta family?” Brian remained silent. Willy zoomed in on the photograph. “Wait... there is Lewis as well.” He continued looking at the other men. “Brian, what does this mean?” He looked back at the picture. “Why are all of them bowing to that little girl?” Brian shook his head. “I don't know, Boss.” He paused before continuing. “But they wouldn't kneel like that for just anyone. Whoever that girl is, she must be far more important than we thought.”

Willy's expression became serious. “You mean the Gupta family abandoned the battle at the border and came here to take orders from her?” Brian shook his head. “I can't say that for certain. But, sir, we have to act quickly. If we wait too long, she could gain a serious advantage.” Willy didn't hesitate. He immediately took out his phone and called Jack. The call connected after a few seconds. “Jack.” “Uncle?” “There has been a change of plans.” Jack immediately became alert. “What happened?”

Willy's voice became cold. “The real target is Alicia Mooney.” Jack froze. “Alicia?” “Yes.” Willy continued. “Kill that girl. No matter what, you have to succeed. But don't attract unnecessary attention. Do it as soon as possible.” Jack remained silent for a moment. “Uncle, what do you mean? Why has she suddenly become the target?” “She is becoming dangerous.” Willy glanced at the photograph again. “My enemies are beginning to gather around her. If we allow her to grow stronger, dealing with her will become much more difficult.” Jack swallowed. “And if I need support?” “Call me. If necessary, I will send more men.”

Jack nodded even though Willy couldn't see him. “Understood, Uncle.” Willy ended the call. He placed his phone on the desk and took a deep breath. Then he looked at Brian. “Brian.” “Yes, Boss?” “Do you think those people were involved in the hijacking of our shipment?” Brian immediately shook his head. “No, sir. I don't think so.” “Why?” Brian pointed toward the photograph. “Look at the people around them. Every employee at Lucia Goods seems excited about what is happening. If those men had been involved in the hijacking, the employees wouldn't be standing around them like that.” Willy nodded slowly. “So what do you think?” “My informants said they were police officers.”

Willy frowned. “Police officers?” “Yes, sir. They weren't wearing police uniforms, but according to my informants, they were police.” Willy's eyes narrowed. “So someone with connections to the police may be involved.” Brian nodded. “That is what I suspect.” Willy thought for a moment. “Could it be Peter's son?” Brian nodded. “That is my first suspect.” Willy stood up. “Then find out everything.” Brian waited. “I want complete information,” Willy continued. “Find someone who has access to the information. Pay them if you have to.” “Yes, sir.” “Go to the police yourself if necessary. Speak to judges, officials, anyone who might have information.”

Brian nodded. “Yes, Boss.” He turned around and left the office. After ending the call with Willy, Jack remained seated for a moment. He stared at his phone. “What is Uncle thinking?” He slowly shook his head. “Did he find something? Is Alicia getting closer to him?” Jack frown. He was becoming increasingly impatient. “Well, I can't keep waiting for them to track Ben's sister.” He tossed his phone onto the bed. “I'll do it myself.” With that, he lay down and tried to sleep.

At the Wood Family Residence, Kelvin and Tracy were pacing around the living room. Kelvin glanced toward the staircase. “Sarah came home about an hour ago. She didn't tell us anything.” He looked at Tracy. “And Samantha still hasn't come back. What is happening?” Tracy sighed. “I don't know.” Just then, Sarah came downstairs after taking a shower. She saw her parents standing there and laughed. “Father, sit down. Samantha is safe.” Ben, who had been sitting nearby, immediately looked at her. “What is going on?” Before Sarah could answer, the front door opened. Samantha walked inside.

Kelvin immediately turned toward her. “My child, are you okay?” Tracy quickly added, “Are you hurt?” Samantha burst out laughing. “Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I'm coming from training...” Sarah immediately interrupted her. “Samantha!” Samantha stopped. Sarah looked at her seriously. “I said no more talking about our stuff.” Tracy looked confused. “But we're worried about you.” Sarah laughed. “Worried about someone who already owns a gun?” Samantha immediately choked. “Sarah!” Sarah looked at her. “What?” “You just said we weren't supposed to talk about anything!”

Tracy froze. “A gun?” Kelvin's expression also changed. “A gun for what?” Sarah laughed. “I'll only tell you this. We're training. Everything is fine.” She sat down. “We even received our registered guns. Real guns, not fake ones.” Tracy stared at her. “What do you mean real guns?” Sarah ignored the question. “Now come on. Let's eat.” Tracy looked at Kelvin. “It seems like you two don't trust us at all.” Kelvin nodded. “You're our daughters. How can you keep something like this from us?” Sarah didn't answer. Instead, she looked toward Ben. “Ben, how is the warehouse? Did you finish?”

Ben looked at her. “Why should I tell you about my matters when you two are hiding things from me?” Sarah laughed. “Brother, don't provoke me. You won't be able to handle what's coming.” Ben grinned. “Because you have guns now?” Sarah smiled. “Maybe.” Kelvin was becoming increasingly frustrated. “What is going on?” Sarah looked at him. “Dad, if we're not eating, I'm going upstairs. I'm tired.” She began eating. Kelvin and Tracy exchanged another look.

Samantha smiled. “I already ate with Faith at the café.” She looked at everyone. “I'm going to take a shower and rest.” She then walked upstairs. Kelvin slowly pushed his plate away. “I'm not hungry anymore.” Sarah looked at him. “Dad, are you upset?” Kelvin sighed. “Shouldn't I be? My daughters don't trust me.” Sarah laughed softly. “As if I'm the one who caused that.” Ben suddenly froze. He looked at Sarah. “Sarah.” She turned toward him. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Ben's expression became serious. “You don't trust them because of me, right?” Sarah stopped eating. “Because of what I did?” The room became quiet. Sarah slowly put down her fork and pushed her plate away. She looked toward Kelvin. “Is this what you wanted, Dad?” Kelvin frowned. “What do you mean?” “I just want to know what happened today.” Sarah stood up. “Have a great night, Father. I'm going to rest.” She turned around and walked upstairs. Tracy looked at Kelvin. Then she looked at Ben. After a moment, she spoke quietly. “Are they upset because you gave Jack Sarah's number?”

Ben didn't answer. Tracy continued. “Do you think Jack has caused some trouble?” Kelvin shook his head. “If he had, Samantha wouldn't have come home that happy.” He paused. “They were talking about guns.” Ben looked toward the staircase. “Ask them when I'm not here. Maybe they'll answer.” Tracy immediately shook her head. “Ben, don't say that.” She looked at him seriously. “She is your sister.” Ben remained silent. Tracy continued. “And today I was happy to see the two of you talking like a real brother and sister again.”

She sighed. “Maybe she's just upset. It might not be anything serious.” Ben looked at his parents. Then he suddenly frowned. “Dad... Mom...” Kelvin looked at him. “What?” “Did I tell you that they came?” Kelvin's expression changed. “Who came?" Tracy asked "Came where?”
