Lazily Yours.

Chapter 586: Businessman

14 Hours Ago

"You how did you get here?" Old Man Quigly almost fainted when he saw a shadow sitting on his bed. His old bones trembled. He couldn't feel any killing intent from this person, so he quickly gathered his thoughts and walked towards the one-seater next to his bed. "Who are you?" He wanted to see the man's face, yet there was only darkness around him.

Aside from the light coming from the outside of the mansion, the entire house's power was off. In fact, he woke up because of this matter.

"Sit" the man calmly said.

"Who are you? And how did you get here?" The problem with the power system shouldn't have happened simply because everything in this house had a backup power system generator. But for some reason, it didn't work too. Despite this, Old Man Quigly was still confident that no one would be able to get inside his room because of the security both outside and inside this place.

For instance, there were four people on standby outside his room. Another two were standing outside his door.

"You can ask for help" the man said, coldness accompanying his tone. "But your people wouldn't be able to catch me. So don't waste your breath. I don't want to accidentally kill you in the process."

"You" In fact, he thought of asking for the security personnel's attention. After all, this is just one man. Old Man Quigly has six! "Who sent you!?" he hissed. Over the years, he has offended some powerful people. However, none of them were as blatant as this.

The man snorted. "You don't have the right the ask the questions here. One more question and your grandson who is sleeping in their rooms would die."

"You "

"I wonder what would happen to your stocks if your heir dies" the man interrupted him again.

Old Man Quigly bit his lips. Lyle's funeral wasn't completed yet. And this man arrived, threatening to kill his grandsons! How could he take this all in? However, the old man survived until now because he wasn't stupid. Since this person has the guts to come here and even send other people to his grandson, it should be because someone powerful is backing him.

This time, Old Man Quigly bit his lower lip as he stared at the silhouette of the man on his damn bed. First of all, why was he sitting on his bed? What kind of assassin would do this? Even in those cliche movies, the assassins would sit in the chair and even turn on the lights once their target appears.

"Your granddaughter died because she was stupid." The man started.

Hearing this, the old man's temper flared. Lyle might be a spoiled girl, but she was his favorite among his grandchildren. Her death affected him. Until now, he couldn't accept that Lyle was already dead! But wait does this mean that this man has something to do with his granddaughter's death? The old man clenched his jaw and waited for the man to speak.

"And you are about to make the same mistake now"

"Huh?" The old man's eyes widened. "You mean Gabrielle?" This was unexpected. Earlier, the old man asked his people to check Gabi's whereabouts and check all the assassins' guild in the black market. He wanted to see if she paid any of them to kill Lyle. Right now, only Gabi is the suspect, the most suspicious person that could have killed his granddaughter.

"You wouldn't want to see another death in your family, right?"

"I " Just who is this person? Judging from this man's tone, it was clear that he wasn't just an assassin. Does this mean someone is protecting Gabi behind the scenes? But who? Was this old man Ren's doing?

No, that old man is a cunning fox, he wouldn't do something that would make his granddaughter suspicious. However, if it's not the old man, then who could it be?

"I know that you already told your people to track Gabi's whereabouts. So I will punish you lightly."

The old man trembled. "What are you "

"Your son is in an open marriage, no?"

"Don't you dare "

"Relax I won't kill your son. He is still valuable."

"" What's that supposed to mean?

"Let's review. Your son has a wife, and this very same wife is aware of her husband's mistresses. In fact, she too had her own group of young men that she slept with. Is that right?"

"That That is right." Indeed, the dynamic inside his family is a bit complicated. The old man had practiced and opened marriage with his wife as well. The only deal is that they couldn't have someone pregnant. So before they start a relationship with other people, they involve lawyers and lots and lots of papers that would protect both their assets and their marriage in case something goes wrong.

Moreover, not many people know about this type of practice. It was a kept secret that only the family member knows about.

"Then as punishment, one of your son's mistresses is going to die."

"What?" The old man couldn't help but raise his voice. One of his son's mistresses is the daughter of the mayor. She was young and had a very promising career. "No please don't do that." The old man said.

"Ah you must be thinking that it would be impossible to have them killed, right? After all, one of them is the daughter of the mayor how old was she again? Twenty-eight? Nine?"

This only proves that this man's connection is good. His information system is very broad. It would be very difficult to deal with a person like this. The old man could only clench his hand so tight, he could feel his nails scraping his palm. Now that he thought about it, this man was very bold. Not only did he dare to come here, but he also told him about his plans.

What could this mean?

It means that he was very confident in these actions. He must be a total monster in this country! But how come he didn't recognize him? Just who is this man?

"Now now in about now you will receive a call from " before the man could finish his words, the old man's phone already vibrated. "Answer it. Remember, one wrong move and your grandson dies."

"He Hello?"

"Father have you heard? Catalina died."

"What did you say?"

"Overdose."

"When did this happen?"

"About twenty minutes ago. The mayor just called me. They tried to rush her to the hospital, but she was already dead."

It was as if a cold bucket of water was poured inside the old man's soul. He turned towards the silhouette. For some reason, he could feel him smiling as he continued to stare at him. Goosebumps skittered through the old man's body as sweat drenched his back. It felt as if some evil entity was staring at him, a predator. That's right, it was as if a fearsome animal was staring down at him.

"Then you should go and see the mayor." The old man's hand trembled. "And take care of yourself."

"Yes, father. I just called you to inform you in advance. Sigh my daughter just died and now Catalina died too."

"Don't think too much. Life and death is a natural thing. It is part of nature."

"Hmmm. Alright you should sleep first. Please forgive me for disturbing you."

"Hm. Goodnight." With that, the old man immediately ended the call and tossed his phone on the bed. "What do you want." Clearly, the man wasn't really here to kill him. "If you want me to stay away from Gabrielle, then I will do it. No need to harm my family over something like this."

"Hah you businessmen always talk like this." The man snorted. "Too bad I am not a businessman."

"" What's that supposed to mean?

"I want you to apologize."

"What?" Why would he apologize?

"Your granddaughter wanted to kill Gabrielle. If she succeeded, Gabrielle would have died and I would have massacred your whole family. So apologize."

"But she didn't die. Moreover, Gabrielle and I had a deal. She wasn't supposed to touch Lyle."

"Heh are you stupid?" the man sneered. "Your granddaughter was really good at one thing, and that is lying. Did you think she stopped pursuing Gabi's death?"

"What What's that supposed to mean? I don't understand what you are talking about."

"The night before she died, one jail guard died. You should check the identity of that jail guard."

"I "

"Your good granddaughter wanted to hurt Gabi again. Despite her being in jail, she used your name to control people inside."

"I " Just what did Lyle do?

"In the end, she died. In fact, you are lucky, you didn't know about it. If you did hehe"

So the reason why he was still alive is that he didn't know about Lyle's action? Still, this only proves how well connected this man was. "I will apologize to Gabi tomorrow."

"As expected, you are indeed a businessman."
