Chapter 284
As Felix began to recall what happened two months ago, he didn’t even try to hide anything as he confessed, “After the success of the cooperation with Mr. Field, the chairman immediately appointed me as the manager in charge of this project.
“It supposedly was a collaboration but in fact, we were just an intermediary that connected both companies together.”
Kingsley was puzzled when he heard that. “Why would Mr. Field want a collaboration with you and let you take another cut from the deal? Isn’t it more profitable for them to contact buyers directly on the black market?”
“Exactly. I thought that he came to make us his middleman because he didn’t have connections or credibility in Cleapolis, but I get it now. They would rather give up that extra money so that the Spearhead Group was the one who would take all the risk…”
He then sighed. “What a sly bunch these d*mn foreigners are!”
“Foreigners?” Kingsley frowned slightly. “Is Mr. Field a foreigner?”
“He is!” Felix nodded. “Even though he didn’t outright tell us that, his accent is definitely not from our country! He is probably from the Southsiren Republic or the Empire of the Setting Sun!”
Kingsley was hit by realization when he heard Felix’s words.
The big fish in Sweoya had detonated a bomb to show off before.
That was why Kingsley had guessed that the person who blew up the cemetery was the anonymous website administrator.
To his surprise, it was proven that the culprit was actually someone else upon investigation!
The culprit had come into contact with Felix, who worked for the Spearhead Group, by buying a small amount of explosives, and had also bought the contact information of Mr. Field, the explosive supplier, at a high price.
They then bought a lot of explosives directly from Mr. Field, and had snuck into the cemetery to plant the bombs when Leroy went to the hospital to take care of Joshua.
Finally, in the dead of night, the bombs were detonated without warning, thus completely destroying the Nicholson Family Cemetery!
Kingsley could understand all that, but what he never considered was the possibility that Mr. Field, both the root of all these incidents and the provider of explosives, was highly likely to be a spy from Qustia!
The bombs used were the same, after all.
It only seemed complicated because of the many turns the story took.
Kingsley and Lancer then looked at each other, both of them already figuring out the truth.
In a low voice, Lancer started, “Boss, Karl Osberg and his men said that there are five people in Team Nightcrawler. Except for the Stork, leader of the team, the other four are paired in teams of two. The so-called Mr. Field is an identity held by two people. It is possible that they are the other two members of Team Nightcrawler. ”
“How surprising. We weren’t even trying to find that out,” Kingsley hummed while nodding. “We actually discovered the tracks of the other two spies.”
With that said, he turned to look at Felix before he demanded, “What else do you know about Mr. Field? I want you to tell me everything!”
“Of course!” Felix licked his chapped lips and slowly described, “I couldn’t see Mr. Field and his partner’s faces because they both wore hats and masks. They were about 5 foot 6, and they were dressed in normal clothes. Their voices sounded like they were in their 30s.”
He then glanced at Kingsley cautiously. “They were on high alert and didn’t give out too much…”
Hearing that, Kingsley lit a cigarette and asked, seemingly in deep thought. “Where did the transaction happen? Did they say anything out of the norm?”
“It was a small hotel in an urban village in the north of the city.” Felix paused slightly, and seemed to have suddenly remembered something when he quickly exclaimed, “Oh, yeah! They might have driven there from Diosna City! I saw a ticket they got at a highway on the table!”
Kingsley’s eyes suddenly glinted at that. “That village again?” he asked. “When was the last transaction?”
“It has been about two months since the collaboration ended.”
Hearing his words, Lancer pointed out in a hushed voice, “That was before we destroyed Karl Osberg and Jonas Kolstad’s empty warehouses. They have probably already abandoned the location now.”
“That’s right. They are likely to be hiding in Diosna City, and only come to Cleapolis to carry out their mission.” After pondering for a while, Kingsley continued, “And the north of the city is at the border of both Diosna City and Cleapolis. That must be why they frequently appear there!”
As they spoke, he turned to Felix again. “Is there any other information?”
