Female Novel
Chapter 40 Investigating Crane
Indeed.
At that time, when Paige came to challenge, many of them were present, and they were even basically
severely beaten by Paige, and from that moment onwards they were heartily submissive to this woman.
What's the powerful?
Of course the fist.
Whoever has a hard fist is powerful, and David is a perfect example of that.
Not to mention how good Matthew or boss is, the deterrent effect of ten billion liquidity alone can make
them obedient, after all, whether from business or other path is all about money.
Seeing the appearance of many of his men lowering their heads in submission, David nodded with
great satisfaction, and then lamented the exact same words as Finley -
"This Stone City is going to change."
Matthew glanced at his phone, and on it was a message from Patrick.
“Lord Smith, Bruno's group has been driven away by David, so there shouldn't be any movement in a
short time."
Crane nodded slightly and said, "But only for a short period of time. I let David do this, I'm only afraid
that his deterrent power will plummet, after all, many people in the underground circle rely on dirty
business for a living, asking them to give up this to do proper business is difficult to convince the
public."
"So isn't it time to cleanse the underground circle?"
Matthew asked invitingly, and Crane shook his head.
"No need for the time being, let's wait and see which ones don't change their mind before we make a
move."
"We have to pay attention to the urban village construction project, if I'm not wrong, the government is
the sponsor of this project, right?"novelbin
"That's right, it's a project initiated by the Construction Department with the support of several
government departments. The scale is huge, it's said to be over four billion in terms of funding alone,
that's why the Scott family is imperative to get it, after all, they can get at least two to three billion in
profit from it."
Matthew spoke in general, and Crane raised an eyebrow.
"If it's two billion, that's nothing. If they plan on three billion, that's a big problem. I'm afraid that they will
use all kinds of loopholes to embezzle this amount of money for the project."
"This matter concerns the personal safety of the future residents of the urban village, it must be
watched over. You go and talk to Finley, let him let go and join forces with all the big and small
construction companies in Stone City to compete for the project, pay attention to the Chambers family,
don't give it to them in a hurry, hang on there."
Crane said with great confidence.
Nowadays, Finley hadn't taken the project yet, but Crane could be sure that the Saunders was the final
winner because he was there.
After waiting for Matthew to leave, Crane once again walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and
suddenly his heart fluttered.
Suddenly he sensed a hint of something unpleasant.
"Is someone watching the area, is it for me?"
He could clearly feel that someone seemed to be watching in the area, and that the attention had been
focused on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors.
If it was an ordinary person, he might feel that it was an illusion, but Crane was extremely familiar with
this feeling after many kills he had experienced and many times he had been so close to death.
Someone is definitely watching him!
"Not many people know I'm here these days, and the only one who holds malice against me--"
"The Scott family!"
His eyebrows rose slightly, and a phone call called in, it was Finley.
"What is it?"
Crane's voice remained clear and cold.
Finley on the other side spoke, "Boss, I got news that someone from the Scott family is investigating
you!"
Crane was not surprised
"I already knew that."
Finley froze for a moment, but did not dare to question Crane's words, after all, Crane was too
mysterious, and these small moves of the Scott family could not really be hidden from him.
"Then, Boss, do you need me to arrest those scouts from the Scott family?"
"No need for that, just wait and see what happens."
"You do your part, and I'll take care of it."
After saying, he hung up the phone, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with a grim look.
"The Scott family actually dares to spy on me, interesting."
"It's just a shame that when it comes to things like tracking and investigation, you guys are just a bunch
of amateurs."
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but there were only a few that could compete with the Cryptoclidus
Palace in terms of intelligence gathering ability in the world, and they were either affiliated with the
official families of large countries or were super powers that could have great influence around the
world.
A mere Scott family is not worth mentioning.
It's just that the Scott family, and especially Bernard, knew nothing about any of this.
He had just received a piece of news saying that when Bruno and Samuel was about to find Flora, they
had actually met David.
The most important thing is that David actually attempted to change the entire Stone City Underworld
with his own power!
"What is this David's madness? He actually wants to whitewash the entire underground world, not to
mention those in the underground circle, I'm afraid that many people in the above ground circle and the
official family will be unhappy with him, why would David do such a thankless thing?"
"Most importantly, why is David in Kingsang Building? It doesn't seem to be his territory, does that
mean he's that man of Flora?"
Thinking about this, Bernard slightly felt relieved.
If that was the case, he would not make a move against Flora, after all, David was too terrifying.
"Mr. Bernard, I've found out!"
"That man of Flora's seems to be called Crane Smith, who arrived in Stone City just a few days ago
and is said to be from the Magic City!"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Bernard got excited abruptly.
"Is this true?"
"It's a thousand percent true, and it was the news from the Saunders."
The subordinate said, which made Bernard freeze for a moment.
"How has the Saunders been involved?"
"It seems that this man is a minor employee of the Saunders and got his job today, and I only learned
about it when I happened to meet a grassroots employee of the Saunders."
Bernard was increasingly amazed.
What a coincidence.
They had just started investigating the identity of Flora's man, only to have someone come to their door
to inform them?
He wasn't stupid and always felt there was something terribly wrong with it.
"Go, investigate this guy named Crane Smith and dig out all his information!"
Although Bernard was a dude, he knew where the bottom line of the rules was. His methods were
simple but he was always able to start the game within the rules, and this was the reason why Luca,
who was at the top, could do nothing to him.
But!
"Luca, you've bitterly pursued Flora all these years to no avail, this time I will definitely make up for your
wish, it's just a pity that you're dead.
Otherwise, I'd really like to record a video to show you how dissolute your goddess is."
