Ryan Sulfose, one of the candidates for Edland City's mayor.
Compared to the other candidate, Symede Augen, who was criticized by many, Ryan Sulfose wasn't just young, he was also more charismatic.
Each time he gave a speech, the crowd would give him a warm applause and cheers.
And his team was completely influenced by Ryan Sulfose's charisma, which was why they were united.
Therefore, when the news of Symede Augen's death in the Winchester House explosion came, Sulfose and his team hugged each other in celebration.
From their point of view, without Symede Augen, their biggest competitor, Ryan Sulfose would surely become the mayor of Edland City!
The whole of Edland City would surely develop better!
As for celebrating after hearing about his death?
It wasn't a funeral, was it?
"Follow our plan, continue to edit the speech for tonight. Remember, we need to mourn our old rival, Symede Augen."
Ryan Sulfose stood up from the meeting room and said calmly.
The other team members were immediately infected by his calmness and responded one after another.
After everyone left, Ryan Sulfose sat down again. His face was filled with uneasiness.
"Mr. Sulfose, are you worried that your actions will be exposed?"
A sudden voice sounded behind the mayoral candidate.
Sulfose stood up in fright and turned around to look.
A young, casually dressed man with a face that wasn't exactly handsome but very clean with a pair of lively eyes was holding the chair that he knocked down and looking at him with a smile.
The man had an astonishing calmness to him.
"Who are you?"
Ryan Sulfose asked softly.
"A nobody, a big shot like you wouldn't know me but if it's possible … I don't want to know you either."
Kieran said slowly.
At the same time, he carefully sensed everything around him.
He made sure that any unusual movements would be heard by him.
Although when Kieran entered the meeting room, he noticed the positions of the security guards and bodyguards and the big shot before him didn't have any intention to flaunt his presence.
However, who could guarantee that the big shot before him wasn't just trying to numb him?
The heavily armed attackers today had left a deep impression on Kieran.
Even though he had dealt with the attackers, Kieran looked very relaxed.
However, only Kieran himself knew how much of a threat those attackers posed to him.
Once Kieran was surrounded, he would have to face countless guns, grenades, and rockets. With [Fusion Heart] sealed and all his equipment gone, he couldn't even fight back.
Therefore, in the next moment, Kieran directly controlled the big shot in front of him.
He grabbed Sulfose's wrist and twisted it behind his back. With a little force, Sulfose's upper body was pressed against the conference table by this irresistible force.
"You are Symede Augen's man?"
"Even if you kill me, I won't let you have it easy. Not only do you have a copy of our deal, I also have a copy. I will make you lose your reputation!"
Ryan, who was pressed on the table, growled fiercely.
"A deal?"
"Backup?"
The two words that came out of nowhere made Kieran frown. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and went along with the flow, "Where is the backup?"
"Do you think I can tell you?
Please go back and tell Mr. Symede Augen that I will complete the deal with him, even if he changes his initial plan! "
"I will make sure that I don't expose any flaws and send him to the mayor's seat respectfully but … I hope I will only lose my reputation and not my life!"
"The money he gave me is not to buy my life!"
Ryan Sulfose said clearly.
Kieran's brows furrowed even tighter.
Things had taken an unexpected turn!
Symede Augen's biggest competitor turned out to be Symede Augen's working partner. Based on what Symede Augen said, Symede Augen had already gained control over Symede Augen to a certain extent.
Even though Sulfose's words were filled with forceful threats.
Kieran clearly picked up the weakness and compromise in Symede Augen's words.
"Could it be a lie?"
Kieran thought unconsciously.
His mind was spinning rapidly, organizing his words and testing Symede Augen.
"Of course it's not to buy your life, as long as you don't have some unnecessary terms …"
Kieran purposely prolonged his tone.
Symede Augen had a backup of his deal with Symede Augen.
The backup might be a recording or a video or something.
Then, since it was done once …
Would there be a second time?
No one would complain about having too many protective talismans.
There was a high chance that there would be another backup.
For example, 'he changed his initial plan'!
What was the original plan?
Or in other words, what affected the original plan?
The news of Symede Augen's death came in the morning.
Other than that, Kieran couldn't think of anything else.
Just think about it, Symede Augen and Ryan Sulfose had a secret deal. If something happened to Symede Augen, Sulfose would surely go to Symede Augen for confirmation.
Besides, it wouldn't be strange if Symede Augen did something extra just to be safe.
"Absolutely not!
The recording from this morning is in the safe in my office, I can give it to you! And I swear, I don't have any ulterior motives in doing this! "
Ryan Sulfose assured Kieran.
Kieran let go of Sulfose and followed him from the meeting room to his office. He saw Sulfose take out a phone from the safe.
Throughout the whole process, Kieran had his eyes on Ryan Sulfose. Once Sulfose made any strange moves, Kieran was sure he could take him down in an instant.
However, when Kieran handed him the phone and turned on the recording to confirm the recording, Ryan Sulfose was very cooperative with him.
'What happened? This isn't what we agreed on!'
'The plan has changed, I'm not fit to appear in front of the stage anymore, my representative will replace me!'
'If you do this …'
Pak!
…
It was a short conversation and it ended in less than 3 seconds.
One of the voices belonged to Ryan Sophos, while the other, slightly aged, should be Symede Augen.
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
Kieran put his phone back into his pocket and took a step back. His whole body seemed to have merged with the darkness, disappearing into thin air.
As the door closed, Ryan Sulfose saw Kieran vanish into the shadow and slumped on his chair.
After a while, the important figure seemed to have thought of something. He stood up from his chair and crawled away from the shadow.
He didn't have the elegant demeanor that he displayed in front of others.
Kieran, who was hiding in the shadow, saw Ryan Sulfose leave the office in a panic, calling for his bodyguard.
With Kieran's vigilant character, he wouldn't just leave like that.
He needed to see what Ryan Sophos looked like after he left so that he could make a better judgment.
Judging from Ryan Sulfose's performance, Kieran was right.
He wasn't lying.
Which meant the explosion at Winchester House was directed and acted by Symede Augen himself?
Why would he do that?
In order to avoid certain matters or people or organizations, faking his death to escape?
Or …
Before the old doubts could be solved, new doubts appeared.
Doubts filled Kieran's heart and it made him slightly irritated.
He shook his head swiftly to calm himself down and headed to St. Reid Hospital in quick steps.
