Translator: 549690339
Mason Lilliput turned off his phone, not because he wanted to avoid Jayden Dunn.
In his eyes, Jayden Dunn wasn’t that important.
He turned off his phone purely because the kidnapping of Richelle Dunn had failed, and instead it had destroyed the secret passage he and the Thompsons had used to transport goods for many years.
With the passage destroyed, the industries he collaborated with the Thompsons on were thrown into chaos.
Huge amounts of goods piled up at the secret production point, with overseas orders piling up, but the goods could not be transported out.
Mason Lilliput’s side of the phone was blown up by the Thompsons.
Out of necessity, he had to turn off his phone and tirelessly run around looking for new transportation routes.
He had now identified three new routes.
At this moment, he was conducting a trial run on the second water route.
For the first route, he had spent two days verifying the route’s secrecy, but the underground river was narrow, making it impossible for multiple ships to navigate at once, let alone two-way transportation. This meant that the transport capacity was far from meeting requirements, so Mason Lilliput basically ruled it out.
The second water route was wide and well-hidden, but it was too far from the estuary, making transportation costs higher and increasing the level of danger. This time, Mason Lilliput brought his nephew along.
After testing the second water route, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“It’s all Jayden Dunn’s fault. He can’t handle things on his own, so he had to mess with the Lewis family. He didn’t bring back the person, but he destroyed my decades-old wealth line for no reason.”
His nephew was named Theodore Lilliput, and he was the brother of the nephew who worked with Harris Dunn.
“Uncle, I heard from Theo that Harris Dunn is actually quite reliable.”
Mason Lilliput didn’t want to admit that the destruction of his wealth line was actually due to his own selfish desire.
And his nephew, of course, didn’t have the courage to point out that fact.
“Don’t mention him! He’s weak and calculating, trying to get more benefits from him is like trying to touch the sky.”
On one hand, Mason Lilliput despised Jayden Dunn for his incompetence; on the other hand, he also despised Harris Dunn for his pettiness. In the end, he simply didn’t like the father and son duo from the Dunns at all, only cooperating with them because he had no other choice.
Theodore was a smart man, so when he heard his uncle say this, he didn’t say anything more.
If he continued, he would become a traitor who spoke for outsiders.
“Uncle, what should we do now? Shall we go try the third route?”
Mason Lilliput’s face didn’t look too good, “Do we have any other choices now?”
After exiting the second water route, it would have to pass through a large public transportation waterway, where there were countless water police. It might be possible to transport a few shipments under their watch, but in the long run, it wouldn’t be practical.
Given their current situation, even a single shipment going awry would mean huge losses; he didn’t know if the Thompsons could bear it, but he himself probably couldn’t.
Mason Lilliput, his nephew, and their party traveled from the second route to the third.
Meanwhile, all their movements were fully under Roy Lewis’s control.
The people hiding on each route were arranged by Nathan Caroule.
Upon learning that Mason Lilliput was heading to the third route, he couldn’t help but praise the hacker who had cooperated with him multiple times to Roy Lewis.
“Roy, your partner is simply amazing. When he found the secret passage used by Dr. Dunn last time, I thought it was just a coincidence, but I never expected him to find the remaining three with absolute accuracy. I want to ask him, how did he do it? It’s too awesome!”
Roy Lewis glanced at him indifferently, “That’s what he does for a living. If he wasn’t awesome, he would have been caught and sent to prison a long time ago.”
Nathan Caroule came in mysteriously.
“But I heard that such awesome people usually aren’t truly sentenced. If they’re actually caught, they’re mostly asked to complete even more difficult tasks to atone for their crimes, right?”
Roy Lewis glared at him, “Don’t ask questions you’re not supposed to!”
Nathan Caroule remained persistent, “Roy, do you think those hackers have weird brains like aliens? Their brain structures must be different from ours, right?”
Roy Lewis’s mind flashed with the image of Richelle Dunn’s beautiful face, and he couldn’t help but scold Nathan Caroule.
“Your brain must have been stuck in a door or something. How could they possibly look different? Just like Timmy Timothy Tifanny, they’re also way smarter than the average person, but do you see them having weird brains?” Nathan Caroule laughed.
“You’re right, not just Timmy Timothy Tifanny, but you and Dr. Dunn are also much smarter than ordinary people, but you all look no different from me.”
Roy Lewis tutted, “You’re wrong, we definitely look different from you.”
Nathan Caroule didn’t understand for a moment, “What’s different? Isn’t it still just mouth, nose, eyes, and ears?”
Roy Lewis smiled, “Yes, mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, but I am much more handsome than you.”
Nathan Caroule rolled his eyes.
“Master Lewis, does Dr. Dunn know about your narcissism?”
Roy Lewis casually said, “What if she knows? Doesn’t she still love me just as much?”
