Chapter 669: Chapter 665: Wanting to Catch Everything in One Go, Too Difficult
Aldo Lewis and Alexander Lewis, uncle and nephew, spent an afternoon fishing and discussing their future plans on their yacht.
By the time they returned to the resort hotel, it was already dusk.
Of course, their movements had been reported to Nathan Caroule, and then Roy Lewis got to know about it.
“Roy, I think they’re up to more than just fishing.”
Roy Lewis hummed in agreement, “Keep a close eye on them, I suspect Aldo is looking for an opportunity to pull Alexander in.”
Roy Lewis gave Nathan a few instructions before hanging up the phone only to find Richelle Dunn staring at him.
“What’s Aldo up to now?”
In Richelle’s memory, Aldo was quite timid yet cunning. He always urged his siblings to act, reaping benefits while remaining unexposed.
Roy Lewis didn’t hide anything, “Do you remember the disproportionate income and expenses of The Lewis’ Village that you mentioned to me earlier?”
Richelle naturally remembered, “Yes, you told me not to do anything yet, to avoid startling the snake. Do you mean Aldo is that snake?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Exactly, he is that snake, but he’s only a small one.”
Richelle understood who he meant by the big snake.
“So all of this may seem unconnected at first, but as more and more truth floats to the surface, we can see that everything is interconnected?”
Roy Lewis gave her a thumbs-up,
“Exactly, at first I was just suspicious, but as we gather more evidence, it becomes apparent that it’s all a big game!”
Richelle realised that her eyes had been significantly opened in the past few months.
“So, you’re waiting to capture everyone in one sweep before revealing that you’ve ‘returned from the dead’?”
Richelle assumed that Roy Lewis would nod.
However, Roy Lewis looked serious.
“Of course, I wish that were the case. But our opponents are too strong and cunning. We might not be able to capture them all at once.”
Roy Lewis had indeed planned to reveal himself only after capturing Mason Lilliput and The Thompsons all at once.
However, based on the intel collected over the past months, the power of The Lilliputs and Thompsons has been gradually spreading worldwide.
Even their current mission to eliminate their influence in the Federation, Leutonia, and a few neighbouring countries has already proven difficult enough. Obviously, they underestimated the true extent of The Lilliput and Thompson’s power from the start.
Seeing Roy’s worried expression, Richelle couldn’t help but hug him.
“Don’t be disheartened, aren’t you forgetting about your helpful spouse? Just focus on what you need to do. Nathan and I will take care of Lewis Group and The Lewis’ Village. Nothing big will happen.”
…
Roy Lewis had somewhat dealt with Alexander Lewis. Meanwhile, the school had issued an announcement in the parents’ group chat, instructing them to attend a Parents-Teachers meeting with their children the next day.
Following the crowd, Richelle responded, “Received!”
Then, a parent asked.
“That’s strange. We’ve just started the school year and we already have a parent-teacher meeting? Can you tell us what’s it about in advance?”
Consequently, other parents started asking questions.
“Right, could it be that something happened to a student, leading to the emergency meeting?”
“The children are so young. It’s quite worrying. Could the teacher give us a hint so we can rest easy?”
Finally, the class teacher came forward to clarify.
“Dear parents, don’t worry. The reason for asking you to come tomorrow is to communicate some new school rules. Everyone can rest easy.”
Except for the three who were punished in the morning, the remaining thirty-one students could certainly sleep well.
After 10 o’clock, Nathan Caroule called again.
Normally, if it wasn’t an urgent matter, he would mostly be spending quality time with Mr. Munni at home by this hour.
“Roy, the parents of Timmy and Timothy’s classmates sought me out for help. What’s going on?”
During the day, Roy Lewis only briefed Nathan about Alexander Lewis but did not mention the children’s school situation.
Now when Nathan asked, Roy simply explained what Richelle had told him.
“Damn, how could these kids be so cunning?”
Even from hearing only a simple version, Nathan was quite irritated.
“They dare to bully our kids and still have the nerve to beg for mercy!”
Obviously, without any instructions from Roy Lewis, Nathan already knew what to do.
Ever since his surgery, Roy Lewis had been trying to maintain a calm mindset.
But the recent sequence of events involving Richelle and the children had caused emotional upheaval.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but rub his temples.
Seeing his pale face, Richelle was shocked. She quickly took his hand to take his pulse.
“Is your headache severe?”
Richelle inwardly blamed herself for not noticing his condition.
Not wanting to see her blame herself, Roy hesitated but knew he couldn’t lie to her.
“It’s a bit…”
When he admitted there was a bit of pain, it meant it actually hurt quite a bit!
Checking the time, Richelle quickly wrote a prescription and asked Uncle Axel to get it filled right away.
“Drink the herbal medicine before you sleep. Now, go lie down in the room. I’ll give you a few acupuncture treatments.”
Roy Lewis held her hand, looking guilty.
“Richelle, I’m sorry. I must be as irritating as Elisa Linwood, aren’t I?”
