Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 461

As the offer was given to them, everyone was stunned as they looked at each other.

Gideon and Gale had been longtime friends so they were considered quite close.

For the group’s trip to Country F, Gideon could have asked Gale for help but since it was related to Old K, he decided against it. After all, the relationships between all these organizations were complicated and it could lead to a conflict of interests.

With that in mind, he did not even tell Gale anything about the situation. Firstly, he did not want to cause his friend trouble. Secondly, if this entire issue was related to the Bauhinia Clan, telling Gale Shelby beforehand would not only be of no help. It might even alert the Bauhinia Clan into taking actions to cover up the truth. Hence, Gideon did not tell Gale anything.

However, at this time, since Gale already offered so nicely, there was no way Gideon could just outright reject his hospitality.

Hence, he quickly made an excuse for themselves. “I’m sorry, we still have some things we need to take care of, we’re only here for a small detour so we’ll not impose on you this time.”

Gale just chuckled.

“I know all about the things you’re trying to take care of. You guys don’t need to waste so much effort to go find that man. I’m the ‘master behind the scenes’ you guys speak of - the real owner of the Tiger’s Den.”

The group was dumbstruck.

After ten minutes, the group once again returned to the room they had just left, taking a seat once more.

This time, when Scarface saw their arrival, other than the feeling of surprise, he was also much more careful and cautious.

“Sir…” he said to Gale in a soft voice. However, before he could even say anything, Gale waved his hand, motioning for Scarface to leave.

He turned back and faced the group once more.

His calm and kind smile radiated a sense of gentleness.

“I have a basic grasp on the reason for your visit today. To be honest, I’ll admit that I had wanted to lay a hand on your friend before but ultimately, that person was not killed by our people.”

Nell frowned.

“Not by your people?”

“That’s correct.”

From the drawer of the desk, he pulled out a document and placed it in front of the group.

“Look at this, this is a real image of our Chinese Redcap while this is the one that was on your friend’s body. Although the two images look nearly identical, this petal here is facing two opposite directions.”

The group noticed it was as said as they carefully looked at it.

Although the images looked extremely similar, upon closer inspection, one of the petals was facing left while the other was facing right.

Nell could not help but frown.

“Sir, you said earlier that you’ve wanted to lay a hand on him. May I ask as to what you meant by that?”

As she brought up this question, Gale briefly hesitated.

After all, these things should be considered confidential and be kept within their respective organizations. It was not something he could just simply blurt out.

However, when he glanced over at Nell and deliberated a bit more, he said it outright, “Because of a certain shooting case. At that time, there was an important member of our organization that got gunned down. All the evidence seemed to point at your dear friend.

“In our investigation, the only major conflict he had prior to the incident was a quarrel over a race he had with your friend. With that and other interests in mind to give a proper resolution to the members, I made the plans to make a move on him.
