The plane heading to Bellridge flew over Christopher as he waited on the lawn. After a while, he thought it was about time and walked out from another exit. As soon as he reached the door, an assistant came over immediately and helped him with his luggage while a car stopped beside Christopher.
The car window rolled down and Lucasâ face peered out. âGet in; I have arranged everything!â said Lucas.
Christopher opened the door and got into the car. After looking at the message that Yvonne sent him just now, he turned off his phone and changed the SIM card before turning it back on. âHow are the preparations?â
âEverything is ready. Lucasâ black market trade will be held in Kenfort this time. Many bigwigs are in contact with him. Luckily, I participated once before, so Iâm confident I can bring you inside.â
Lucas looked solemn. âIs the information reliable? Whatâs the quality of the source?â he asked.
âDonât worry. Even if I donât care about your safety, I still care about my own.â Lucas shrugged and continued, âLook, I chose to go with you because I want you to trust me. Mark has some plans regarding this mayoral election. He was the one who pledged to support Dariusâ opponent.â
âYou are saying the Frank family is supported by Mark?â Christopher was a little surprised when he heard that. The Franks have always had a good reputation within the political circle. The Kents used Monicaâs family to try to get themselves elected in the last election, but they failed and remained silent since. This year, the Franks came out of nowhere and Darius is not prepared for them at all.
âYou may not believe me, but Uncle Mark doesnât just take things one step at a time. He has plotted this since a long time ago. He has long harbored huge ambition and wants to be the top guy in Avenport. Your family wouldnât have taken control of the city for so many years if he hadnât gotten hurt in an internal power struggle and was forced to recover abroad in Anglandur,â Lucas said confidently.
Christopher frowned; he couldnât refute Lucasâ words. There was no way for them to know what would have happened then. In Lucasâ eyes, Mark was an obstacle that he could never overcome. Moreover, Mark was also Yvonneâs father.
âSo, you are telling me that even if I donât want to target Mark because of Yvonne, I still have to consider if Mark wants to deal with the Lane family? Am I right?â Christopher smiled as he rested his chin on his hand.
Lucas frowned when he noticed the underlying meaning in Christopherâs words. âYou think Iâm lying to you? Christopher, It wonât end well if we canât even trust each other while we work together. Uncle Mark is not as easy as he seems. Do you remember having almost lost your life in Yorksland? If Yvonne hadnât revealed her identity by accident and caused Garfield to stop because he didnât want to hurt her, or if Lyle didnât risk his life to help you two, both of you would have lost your lives. You wouldnât be here to mull over Aunt Isabelle.â
Lucas became a little anxious. It hasnât been easy bringing Christopher to our side. My reasons were a little far-fetched then but Christopher agreed. Looking at him now; is he going back on his word? Is this because Mark agreed for him and Yvonne to be together?
âIf you are hesitating to act because Mark is supportive of you and Yvonne, I would suggest that you investigate the Frank family. We can talk about the Kenfort matter after the investigation. I know I wonât survive if you really set me up.â
âWhat you said seems to make sense,â Christopher said nonchalantly as he rolled down the window. He seemed to be uninterested in the matter. His gaze deepened when he saw the sweat on Lucasâ forehead.
