Chapter 2604
Chapter 2604 Harold’s plan really did feel very feasible. In Harold’s eyes, the person who killed Michael was no simpleman. There was no way to find out why the person had killed Michael as well.
The two of them could use that point to craft a story that would frame themselves as victims. Even if theywould not be able to escape punishment, it would at least allow them to shred the harshest punishments.
After all, if the higher-ups knew what they had done, being sentenced to death on the spot was apossibility.
Johnson nodded his head vigorously and replied, “You’re right, we have to act accordingly in such a time.The person who killed Michael must be our lifeline to escape punishment. We have to hold on to him.tightly.”
As the two mumbled to each other, Elder Eliot had already brought everyone back. The two of themacted like nothing had happened as they followed behind Elder Eliot, heading into the transfer array withthe group.

In just a short moment, the only ones left at the transfer array were Jackie, Rudy, Harold, and Johnson.With Jackie’s temperament, he would normally leave immediately and head back to his own courtyardafter such a large-scale event.
However, he was in no hurry to leave at that moment. Instead, he stood behind Harold and quietly lookedat Harold, forcing himself to maintain a calm expression.
After everyone had left, Harold abruptly turned over as he looked at Jackie with widened eyes and anaccusing expression. Jackie had a cold smirk on his face.
He merely stood on the spot, not revealing anything as he matched Harold’s gaze. Jackie’s actionscaused Harold’s temper to flare even more, but Harold could do nothing at that moment. He could notfight Jackie there, nor did he want any other conflicts.
“Do you have something you want to say to me?” Harold said in a cold tone.
Jackie raised an eyebrow as he shook his head lightly, “I stayed behind for my own reasons, but I don’treally have anything I want to say to you.”
