Chapter 853 You’re Not Capable Enough
“As the saying goes, ‘Know thy self, know thy enemy; and you can win a hundred battles without defeat.’ You should understand this principle more than anything.’
Although Evan appeared before he had fully regained his memory, Alec had a gut feeling that he would pose a threat to him, so he spared no expense in investigating him thoroughly.
After a moment, Evan smiled helplessly and said, “Mr. Faust, you truly are meticulous in your thinking. I’m in awe.”
He had also investigated Alec, but all the information about him was publicly available, and anything he found could be found by anyone else. Because of that, there was no value in using any of that information against him.
Alec didn’t respond to his praise but asked, ‘ What do you think of my proposal earlier, Mr. Clarke?”
“What if I refuse?” Evan asked.
“It’s okay,” Alec said indifferently. Before Evan could breathe a sigh of relief, Alec continued, ’That would give me something to talk about with Jenny. I think she should know quite well what you’ve been doing abroad all these years.”
Evan was infuriated; his gaze directed at Alec was filled with a hint of killing intent. Alec couldn’t care less and went on, “By the way, I also found out that Randy had suddenly died in prison. I think you had something to do with it, Mr. Clarke. Am I right?’
Ever since he found out that Evan was no ordinary person, Alec had been keeping an eye on him, so he had been keeping tabs on the man’s every move.
“You’ve sent someone to tail me.” Evan came to realize that without someone constantly stalking him, Alec wouldn’t have known such detailed information.
Alec didn’t deny it but continued to ask, “So, would you like to reconsider my proposal from earlier?’
Evan’s face darkened. He had lived for so many years, yet this was the first time someone had blackmailed him so blatantly. He looked at Alec as if he was looking at a dead person. It was clear that he had the intent to silence Alec permanently.
Although killing Alec might arouse suspicion from Jenny, he had no better option at that moment. Alec knew too much, so if he didn’t deal with him in a timely manner, he would be forever under Alec’s control.
As if sensing what he was thinking, Alec wasn’t intimidated as he said, “Mr. Clarke, you should think about it carefully. Although I’m not as formidable as you, it won’t be easy to kill me. Can you bear the consequences if your attempt doesn’t succeed?”
By then, Jenny would find out everything about Evan-his shady secret identity, Randy’s death, and also his plans to get rid of Alec. Based on Jenny’s personality, she wouldn’t be able to accept him being such a person.
If Alec could think of it, Evan would naturally be able to foresee how things would turn out as well. His sullen expression clearly indicated that he’d arrived at the same conclusion.
The two of them remained at an impasse. After a long while, Evan chuckled and said,
“How about I help you take care of everyone in the Faust family? Wouldn’t that be better?”
“You’re not capable enough to do that.” Alec’s reply was blunt. So what if Evan was the leader of a group of mercenaries? He didn’t bring in many people. Being able to take care of Xavier would already
be a remarkable feat on his part. As for taking on the other Fausts, it would be too far a stretch for him.
“From what you’re saying, it seems you’d actually want me to do it if I had the ability?”
Evan was somewhat annoyed, but he kept a smile on his face, trying not to show too much emotion in front of Alec.
Alec chuckled, not answering the question. ‘Let’s discuss how to proceed then.”
“Killing Xavier is doable, but Luke should be dealt with too. I really can’t stand him.’
After all, he was always pestering Jenny, which was annoying to watch.
