Cosma Empire

Chapter 496 Father and Son [1]

Arthur is a good guy who helped Dooling cover up the shocking tragedy at Namirindes in public opinion because he came forward and testified before the Chief of Police, Chief of Police Investigations and Justice for Life His father, that is, Mr. John George, got at least 15% of the shares from hundreds of newspapers at a very low price by means of extortion, and Mr. John only paid one hundred yuan for this .

If Mr. John can buy 15% of the shares of a newspaper with 100 yuan, the total value of these newspapers will not exceed 1,000 yuan, unless he can prove to the Ministry of Justice and the public that he is buying shares These newspapers were not worth a thousand yuan at the time, so they could wash off some of their charges.

But he can't do it, even if he can do it, no one will make him do it. In an instant, almost all the newspapers were reporting the news about Arthur. This was a spontaneous behavior of the newspaper office, and no one greeted them.

For a while, people were discussing this matter, discussing whether Arthur was an upright person-he took the initiative to stand up and testify against the crimes committed by his father, which made the judicial process a big leap forward. With someone as important as Arthur who is involved in insider transactions as a key witness, I am afraid that even if John invites Kevin, it will be difficult to completely clear him of the crime.

Or he is a despicable person—after all, Mr. John is his biological father, but he stood up and stabbed Mr. John from behind when Mr. John needed help the most. From the perspective of universal values ​​​​and people's emotions , Arthur did too much.

There are many reasons why people are willing to pay attention to this news and the things behind it.

The George family itself is a legendary industry trust, and has a very famous reputation in the empire, especially the middle class. All successful people are their goals and pursuits, and the George family is one of them. The internal strife in the big family is often one of the favorite news of these middle-class people. They may talk about some changes in stock prices, and they may also talk about possible opportunities and career disasters. Family scandal.

At such a "highly anticipated" moment, Arthur personally came to the First Prison of the Empire and sat in a separate room with Mr. John. There are video cameras and tape recorders in the room. These devices are not powered on and are installed on the ceiling in the four corners like decorations. There were no guards in the room either, just the two of them.

This is what Arthur asked for. He told the Ministry of Justice that he would try his best to convince Mr. John to plead guilty, but they couldn't eavesdrop on what they said, and they couldn't even keep the pictures.

The Ministry of Justice discussed this internally, agreed to Arthur's request and signed the agreement. If he can persuade John to plead guilty, it will be enough to maximize the credibility of the Ministry of Justice in the empire and add more weight.

Enacting laws is a very easy task. A few people can come up with a law by sitting together and patting their heads, but how to implement it is the real problem and difficulty. When Magus privately ventilated and passed the "Illegal Manipulation of Industry Act" in the Imperial Parliament, this was the first shot for this bill. It can only succeed, not fail. In order to let more people realize the justice and seriousness of the law, as well as the supreme majesty of the law bestowed by God, it is obviously the best ending if Old John can voluntarily confess his guilt.

The air in the room was a bit dull, and Arthur suddenly sighed and fiddled with the cufflinks on his sleeve. He didn't look up at John, not because he didn't dare, but because he didn't want to, "I think, you must know what I did that day."

John's face was full of bewilderment, as if he didn't even understand what Arthur said, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Arthur's tone rose a little, he shook his head, "Have you really forgotten, then... no, you are lying to me. In fact, the two of us are really strange to each other,

You've lied to me once, and now you almost lied to me a second time, I don't know anything about you, are you really my father? "

Mr. John remained silent and said not a word. How could he forget that Arthur walked into his ward and cried with his arms in his arms. He really thought for a moment that Arthur finally understood what family is, what family is, what family is. But Arthur's next action made him so angry that he almost failed to pretend. The bastard actually choked the ventilator tube he used to breathe.

He could feel that the air in the mask was not circulating for a moment. If he hadn't been pretending to be unconscious, maybe he would have been killed by Arthur without anyone noticing that day.

But he won't say it now, he didn't even tell Mark that the George family is now facing a huge crisis, and any internal friction and internal fighting are forbidden to exist at this time. His opponents will definitely use such things to control Arthur and achieve their ulterior and despicable purposes. Only when it was all over would he speak out, and then disinherit Arthur and drive him out of the family.

So he has to keep acting like nothing happened.

He knew his youngest son so well, he put all the guilt towards Mark on Arthur, gave him the best, gave him whatever he wanted, and ignored the result of arrogance and indulgence. consequences.

Arthur has always been like a child who hasn't grown up. When he has a strong desire to get something but can't get it, his emotions will go out of control. The relationship between them was precisely because Arthur wanted it, but he didn't give it to him.

The room fell silent again, and after a while, Arthur looked at John. In this short period of time, he had accumulated enough emotions that he was no longer afraid to face John.

"Mark is dead!"

A very short sentence, only two words, but Mr. John stood up abruptly, pressing his hands on the table, the veins beside his temples swelled up, making him look a bit hideous.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Arthur said calmly: "Mark died. He died in a robbery. The robber pierced his heart with a dagger. When the ambulance arrived at the scene, he was already dead and couldn't die anymore." Resisting an impulse, Arthur took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, took a breath slowly, let it out lightly, and couldn't help saying: "Look, we turned around again, we Back to the beginning!"

This seemingly inexplicable sentence was said by Mr. John to Arthur four years ago.

At that time, Mr. John was extremely disappointed with Arthur, because Arthur wanted more money and was not satisfied, so he colluded with John's brothers and sisters, and tried every means to get money out of the public account for squander. After this incident was known to Mr. John, he asked Arthur to come to his study and had a talk with him.

It was definitely not a pleasant conversation for the father and son. Arthur used the poor negotiation skills he learned to hope to make Mr. John understand that everything he did was for the family, and everything was for the family's business. Arthur still couldn't convince Mr. John, and finally said a word out of control. He told Mr. John that he was the heir of the George family, and these things belonged to him in the end, and he just wanted to manage them in advance.

John first took out part of the property in frustration and handed it over to Arthur for management. In the end, he told Arthur, "Look, we have turned around and we are back to the starting point!"

"You are just a thief who can never satisfy your desires and keeps stealing money from your father's pocket!"

"Bring your money, you can get out!"

Since that incident, Mr. John has recalled Mark with high hopes.

Mr. John's brows twitched. He obviously recalled that conversation. With a cold face, he humiliated Arthur, his son, in a tone that was so cold that it was almost heartless. Then he was driven out of the house like a beggar, and told that he was not allowed to come back if there was nothing to do.

Now, this sentence is applied to myself.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed out of his mind, which had been trapped in the grief of the death of the eldest son, and the expression on his face became even more distorted, and he rushed towards Arthur.

Arthur backed away in fright, nearly losing his balance and knocking the chair over. He put his legs on the ground to stabilize his center of gravity, and realized that no matter how long Mr. John's arms were, it was impossible to touch him across the entire table.

He tidied up his tie in embarrassment, then looked at Mr. John with raised eyebrows.

"It was you, you did it, didn't you? You arranged for Mark's death!" Mr. John growled in a low voice, some white spittle spread from the corners of his mouth, and he waved his fist angrily, like a bird A monster that chooses to eat people.

An inexplicable chill flashed across Arthur's eyes, and he sneered, "This is slander, father!"

There is nothing more tragic than the loss of a child in old age, especially as he watched Mark grow up so fast that he could stand on his own and support the family. Even if the George family can't resist this time, the contacts and wealth he has managed over the years are enough to make the George family fade out of people's sight and then rise again. But all of this was ruined by this bastard!

They were all ruined by him!

Seeing Mr. John's teeth and claws, Arthur stood up quickly, walked along the wall towards the door, and said as he walked, "I just came to tell you the bad news. In addition, I hope you can plead guilty." .Only if you plead guilty, can the family have hope of recovery! Do you know what your family says about you?"

"It's all because of you that the family has become like this. You are the one who caused all this. It started with you, and it should end with you!"

He opened the door, took one last look at John, who was panting heavily, squeezed out a smile, nodded, and closed the door.

When the commissioner of the Ministry of Justice saw Arthur leave the room, he immediately greeted him and asked about the result of their conversation.

Arthur looked at the commissioner with a serious face, and said seriously: "My father is not in good health and cannot bear such a blow. When we were talking just now, he seemed to have..." There was a trace of sadness on his face. Hesitating, "It seems to mean suicide..."
