Chapter 84 The Adams and Davis Families
The sirens blared, piercing the ear.
A dozen police cars and some special-purpose vehicles for the Dragon Guards stretched out to the distance.
And there were even two armored vehicles.
Over a hundred armed police officers and fully armed Dragon Guards surrounded the Adams' house, making it impossible to enter or leave.
In the distance, the genteel-looking Jack in the back of an Audi rolled down the car window.
A middle-aged man with bony cheeks and a pointed chin came over and said, "Mr. Davis, everything is ready. There are four snipers on the perimeter. Once he comes out, Ghost Face will be a target board full of bullets!"
With so many people mobilized, they were determined to kill Ghost Face.
"Director General Grant Jenkins, you'll have to be careful! Ghost Face is no ordinary person. Shout with righteous words first to express our hatred for the gangster and our regret for Mr. Adams. Record the whole process with a camera. Go!"
After that, Jack rolled up the window.
This time, they applied a set of interlocking stratagems to assassinate Santos Adams.
They asked Ghost Face to kill Santos first. With that done, they would kill him.
As long as they had a beautiful performance, they would have no worries in the future.
Except for Santos, no one in the Adams family could make any waves.
As a stooge and distant relative of the Davis family, Grant Jenkins, Director General of the police station, had been making all efforts to surround and kill Ghost Face.
After getting Jack's order, he directed and arranged everything in person.
Soon he shouted through a megaphone, "Listen up, the gangster inside! You've been surrounded. Come out and surrender..."
Before he could shout the righteous words, he saw Santos, supported by Freddie, walk out.
"Santos!"
Grant, leaning against the car, was dumbfounded.
Jack also rolled down the Audi's window in surprise.
Seeing Santos's appearance, he mumbled in shock, "How come? The secret chamber for Santos to hide in has been found. How come Ghost Face failed to kill him?"
Sarah Mitchell was an insider on their side, and Maria Quinn was not at home. Such a long time had passed, but why was Santos still alive? Where was Ghost Face then?
He immediately had a bad premonition.
Since they couldn't kill him, Santos would know the Davis family had tried to kill him. Then, he would be in a rage.
And the Adams family and the Davis family would probably be in a deadly conflict.
"What should we do now, Mr. Davis?" Grant hurried to Jack's car and asked in a panic.
Jack's urbane face turned vexed. He roared, "Shut your fucking mouth! Given the circumstances, there's no other choice but to let it be. Go deal with Santos. I've got to go!"
Then he quickly rolled up the car window.
The car started and drove off, leaving a cloud of dust.
Grant was stunned. After a curse, he began scratching his head with mixed feelings.
"I'm Santos Adams, City Councilor. Let your leader come out!" Santos shouted like a powerful commander.
Many police officers and Dragon Guards present had all seen the old man on TV. Now they were all intimidated by his momentum.
The group of over a hundred people was silent.
Clenching his teeth, Grant quickly braced himself to go up and bow. "Hello, Mr. Adams, someone reported to the police that a villain wished to assassinate you. As soon as I got the news, I hurried over with my men. It's great to see you safe and sound!"
"You were so well-informed, Mr. Jenkins!" Santos snorted, ignoring Grant.
He took out his phone to call Michael Davis, and his call was answered.
"Is it a little disappointing to hear my voice, Sir Davis?" Santos asked directly.
Michael was obviously surprised on the phone, but pretended that he didn't know what was going on. "I don't understand, Mr. Sandoval. Is there a misunderstanding? I'll be the host another day. Let's sit down and have a good talk!"
"There's no need to talk. I have no guts to attend a party thrown to assassinate me!" Santos said curtly. Then he added quite seriously, "Both of us know everything. We don't have to beat around the bush anymore. I'm telling you, we'll be deadly enemies from now on!"
At this point, three army green trucks pulled in.
Seeing the military trucks, Santos snorted, "Division Commander Lucas has come. Behave yourself. We'll wait and see!"
Then he hung up.
Grant's face was filled with mixed feelings.
Seeing the military vehicle, he was shocked.
They had made great trouble.
If a careful investigation was conducted, he would be doomed.
"Aren't you going to leave with your men, Mr. Jenkins? Is it that you want me to treat you to dinner?"
Santos glared at him. Grant shuddered in fear and nodded, saying, "I'm leaving with my men!"
Grant turned around and left in disgrace.
His eyes distant, Santos mumbled, "Michael, you bastard! You killed Francis Turner back then. Let's settle all the accounts this time!"
...
...
In the living room of the Davis' villa.
"Bang!"
Michael smashed his glass on the floor.
The others of the Davis family were all silent, heads down.
Jack almost had a sweat.
"We had Sarah Mitchell, an insider, and Ghost Face, a Sky-List fighter, and Maria Quinn was 30km away. I can't figure out how such a foolproof plan could have gone wrong."
Michael picked up another glass and smashed it on the floor.
Everyone else shivered.
This was the fury of the Davis family. Anyone who dared to move or speak would have to face a shout.
Michael walked to and fro. Suddenly he came to Jack.
He grabbed his hair and lifted his head.
He said sarcastically, "Councilor Davis, my eldest son, tell me why things ended up like this."
"Dad... dad." Jack swallowed and faltered, "We've found it out. Maria went back, and Ghost Face lost to her and was killed. That's why the plan to assassinate Santos failed."
Michael said, "Maria was 30km away, wasn't she? How could she have been able to go back so soon? The girl is not even on the Sky List. How could she have had the strength to kill Ghost Face, a Sky-List fighter?"
"Um..."
Jack didn't know how to explain it because he also didn't know why.
Speechless and irritated, Michael wanted to press for an answer, but his second son Elijah couldn't help saying, "Dad, this is not entirely the fault of my brother. After all, this is not the result we expected to see! But what has happened lately is a little strange!
"Last time, those from the Ghostly Purgatory Hall went to deal with Thomas Taylor, but their boss Clarence Norton was killed by him. They had over a hundred men, but they were defeated by a dozen. No one had ever heard Thomas was so strong before that.
"And in theory, Santos Adams would have been killed today. Why is he still alive? And Ghost Face died a strange death.
"I do believe that there are things we've ignored!"
Michael's anger subsided.
Fortunately, one of them was still clearheaded.
His eyes deep, he suddenly thought of something and raised his right hand. "Gabriel! Is the bastard dead or not? Was it he who did the trick?"
He did feel that this had something to do with Gabriel.
But Elijah said, "Joseph Moore's words are reliable. The car exploded and fell into the river. Any human being wouldn't have survived it, right?" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"No!" Michael argued, "Without seeing his corpse, we can't say he's dead. Investigate! Investigate carefully! We have to be completely sure that he is dead or alive!
"The deadline for the Foster family to offer 500 million dollars is in three days. Greenland Group is fully ready to take over. No mess shall happen then!
"As for Santos, he can't do anything about us because the evidence was gone with Ghost Face's death.
"If he dares to take action against the Davis family, I'll send him to his grave to keep Francis, the dead man, company!"
