Chapter 186 Enemies Behind Closed Doors
Could the refugees outside the city have done it?
Were they really capable of pulling off something this big?
When the three men fell silent, Gordon said, “Enough. I’ll have someone investigate, and I’ll increase patrols in the villa distres Don’t forget, I live here too. Do you think I want someone walking all over me on my own furf?”
Jude immediately changed his tone. “You’re right, Mr. Gound. We’re all in this together, and your have the Blakes full support
Noah quickly added, “So do the Carters. We were upset and spoke more harshly than we should have I hope you won’t take it personally.”
Kevin said, “None of us wants unnecessary conflict. I let my nerves get the better of me too, so don’t hold against me
Gordon finally gave them a cold, insincere smile. “Of course.”
The representatives of the three families left together.
As they walked, the three exchanged looks, silently confirming that none of them had arranged the attacks.
Then they glanced back at Gordon’s residence, their expressions turning unreadable.
Jude said, “It seems our dear Mr. Gound wasn’t telling the truth. All three families that were hit were aligned with us, while Mr Sound didn’t lose a thing.”
Kevin snapped, “I said all along that Gordon was behind it! Who else could clean out three villas in one night without anyone noticing? I always wondered why he insisted on keeping the villa/district’s security under his personal control. Now we know.”
Noah said, “It’s hard not to suspect him. Could he be getting revenge because we’ve poached too many of his people lately
Jude asked, “Even if Gordon did it, what can we do? He still has the final say over everything in the central shelter.”
Kevin said coldly, “Hmph. If it comes to that, we’ll kill him and take over ourselves. We paid a steep price to put him in power. He hasn’t been in charge for long, and he already wants to cast us aside because he thinks we’re no longer useful. He won’t get rid of us that easily.”
Noah gave Kevin a disgusted look. “That’s easy to say. If we could kill him, we would’ve done it long ago. Gordon controls the technology the shelter depends on. If he dies before we get our hands on it, the central shelter will eventually collapse.”
Jude said, “Gordon never lets anything slip. I’ve tried to get information out of him several times, but he always changes the subject.”
Noah said, “Gordon isn’t stupid. He knows that the moment we learn what he’s hiding, he’s dead. That’s why we can’t make a move against him yet.”
“So we’re just supposed to let this go?” Kevin asked bitterly.
Noah and Jude replied in unison, “What else can we do? We don’t have any evidence.”
Jude said, “At least the families he targeted were only minor pawns. Gordon probably chose them because he only dares to take his anger out on weaker targets. He wouldn’t come after us directly.”

of said “Exactly As long as he doesn’t go too far, we’ll have to put up with him. All right, the rain is getting home theant that mysterious merchant is back with plenty of good stuff this time
Jude and Kevin immediately perked up. “He brought more good stuff? Don’t forget to invite us

“Of course,” Noah replied. The three representatives had arrived furious, but they left together as if nothing hisppened
Meanwhile, Gordon was furious at being blamed for something he hadn’t done
Gordon hurled his coffee cup across the room. “What worthless bastard did this? How dare he make me take the blam him get away with it!”
