Chapter 229 Before discovering the anomaly in this person , they had gone too far in manipulating Rafael making him pay a heavy price just to full him into a false sense of security d you find anything on your uncle while investigating him ? Odalys asked .
Did y Percival acted with his usual decisiveness .
His sudden appearance here could only mean one thing he must have uncovered something significant about this person .
Even if he hadnt spoken it out loud .
Odalys had already guessed .
Shed been watching , waiting for the right moment .
Yes , I suspected before , but when you found that piece of clothing in the pool at the house , I knew for certain that he was involved , Percival said .
He opened the car door for Odalys , who slid into the seat .
He covered her legs with a light blanket before sitting down himself .
The air conditioning hummed softly , making the temperature just right .
Sunlight streamed through the window , casting a hazy glow on Percival , his face almost obscured by the shifting shadows .
But I didnt expect the dye to be made from human blood mixed with poison , Percival muttered coldly .
To kill someone and then act innocent … its truly detestable .
To take the life of his own grandson , his relatives , all for some abstract fortune … and he doesnt even feel remorse .
Its like his minds been twisted .
Anyone capable of plotting such a deadly scheme to seize others wealth , even to the point of taking lives and setting up such a complex game- theres nothing they wouldnt do .
The most vicious thing of all is the human heart .
The car fell into silence , the weight of their words hanging between them .
Moments later , Orson and Callum arrived after taking care of some matters .
They climbed into the car , and Callum immediately turned to Percival , speaking in a low voice , Mr.
Stewart , weve gathered some information though theres still more to uncover .
One fifth of the people on the list have been identified .
These are heirs or potential successors in some families .
They are seriously ill 100 % mortality rate , Callum reported grimly .
These people all had descendants , but now their families are dying off .
Their estates are being donated , and the funds are eventually funneled overseas .
Money flowing out of the country was , without a doubt , a form of money laundering Keep investigating , Percival instructed in a low , controlled tone .
Orson , clutching a small box in his hands , seemed visibly anxious , his fingers trembling .
The box contained a deadly poison something capable of causing cancer .
It wont harm anyone , Odalys glanced at him and reassured .
Orson quickly straightened , looking more serious , Whos worried ? Im just excited .
Weve got new findings coming soon Oh , so youre thinking about women now ? Odalys teased with a mischievous grin .
Orsons ears flushed red , and he quickly turned his head , clearing his throat .
Im focused on my career revolution , the countrys prosperity , and all that , Orson declared solemnly , as though donning an invisible red scarf Odalys nearly burst out laughing Mr.
Newart , the two men , along with Rafael , have been sedated and sent back to Crownridge by private plane .
Everything that happened today is under strict confidentiality .
No one will know , Callum reported .
Percival Intered , his brow furrowing .
Once the reality show airs , people will try to come here to vacation or travel .
Notify the tourism department and find a way to block the roads .
No outsiders should be allowed in for now , Percival said with authority .
Callum immediately agreed .
1 / By the way , dont you find it strange that the sponsors of this reality show specifically chose this village for us to participate in ? Is it just a coincidence ? Odalys asked , puzzled .
The car fell silent at her question : Percival opened the drawer next to him , pulled out a file , and handed it to her .
When you arrived for the reality show , I had people look into the sponsors .
They had received a tip that this village was mysterious and remote , a real challenge Percival explained .
And they were given a sum of money , which led them to choose this location .
He paused for a moment before continuing .
I traced the origin of that money .
It came from abroad , and the account holder is a foreigner whos never been to China As Odalys flipped through the documents , she skimmed through the information and quickly understood .
Someones testing the waters , trying to use the reality shows fame to bring attention to this village .
They want to see if it draws any attention and to check the safety of their base .
But after the show aired , no one paid attention to this place .
Percival nodded , his thoughts mirroring her Exactly , Odalys tell silent again as she accepted some pastries from Percival and began to eat , her eyes flicking back to her phone .
It was already dusk .
Shed been busy all day , only glancing at her phone briefly when she arrived at the village .
Now , WhatsApp was flooded with messages .
Group Bs members were all talking in the group chat .
Theyd tagged her , noticed she hadnt replied , and quickly switched to private messages .
Then , they called her one by one .
The phone rang non stop .
Freya : [ Odalys , where are you ? Did something happen ! ] Selah : Odalys , if youre there , say something .
] Francis : Calling Odalys , please respond .
] Stellan [ Odalys , if youre there , reply .
] Reading through their frantic messages , Odalys couldnt help but laugh .
She tapped on the group voice call , and they picked up immediately .
Within moments , everyone was online , their voices overlapping in concern Odalys , where did you go ! We were so scared .
We thought youd been kidnapped .
Just handling a few things .
Just finished , Odalys answered .
Francis immediately chimed in , his voice anxious .
Odalys , I need a talisman .
Draw me one , the kind that costs money Freya, seemingly munching on something , casually asked , Did you go on a date ? The line went dead silent .
No one dared speak , knowing the name shed mentioned earlier .
Odalys raised an eyebrow .
Oh ! Want to join me ? There was a collective Oh from the other side , clearly teasing Percival glanced at her , noticing she didnt deny it .
His deep eyes darkened for a moment , and a slight smirk tugged at his lips , but he remained silent Stellan , hows your father ? Odalys asked .
Stellans voice came through quickly .
He just came out of surgery .
Hes not out of danger y made it to the hospital .
Hell be fine , Odalys reassured him .
yet , but without your talisman , Im sure he wouldnt have Thanks for the talisman .
And by the way , why havent you accepted the payment I sent ? We agreed you give me the talisman , I give you the money , Stellan added .
Odalys had almost forgotten .
She opened the WhatsApp payment link and accepted the 1.5 million dollars .
About the talisman ..
Can I tell my mom about it ! After everything that happened , 1 feel obligated to warn her .
She cant keep being reckless or someone will die , Stellan said earnestly
