Chapter 1034
Are all of these Internet users stupid? Isn't it obvious that he is dressed as a terrorist?!
Idiots! They should all be thrown into Times Square and killed by Alexander!
Bang! Bang!
Gunshot sounds suddenly resonated from the phone, shocking Matthew.
Throughout his years of fleeing, he had become accustomed to keeping his phone in silent mode to avoid detection. Hence, he wasn't used to hearing such a loud noise coming from his phone.
When he regained his senses, he realized Alexander had begun shooting.
Alexander shot with an aloof expression and all the terrified foreigners hit by his bullets fell to the ground, becoming the innocent souls sacrificed under his gun. Those who had escaped the bullets ran around for their lives, hugging their heads while screaming for help.
Wegas' busiest center quickly turned into a living hell, filled with grief and blood.
And finally, the trend of the comments on the live stream shifted.
'Oh my! Is that blood? Are they filming or is this a real situation?'
'What the f*ck? It's a real murder! Is this the latest game for the riches?'
'What? How could Cittadel's wealthiest man commit such an act and even stream it live?'
'Oh, my goodness, there are children there!'
'This is really such an outrageous act!'
And it went on and on.
There were comments in various languages. At first, some brainless fans attempted to explain what Alexander did. These comments, however, were quickly drowned out by the condemnations of others.
Matthew felt satisfied when he saw this. He then picked up his phone and binoculars again, observing Alexander's expression as he dialed the man's number.
Alexander's low voice echoed from the phone at the same time the gunshots stopped. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes, I am extremely pleased!" Matthew laughed sarcastically, mocking Alexander's stupidity.
"But it's a shame Danny will never return even after you've killed so many people. I had instructed someone to kill him an hour ago! I'm sure you're in excruciating agony after hearing this, eh? Do you feel helpless and yearn for vengeance? This was the exact feeling I had back then, and I've been suffering from it for over twenty years! As an experienced fugitive, I've got to warn you that you're now a murderer. You'd better start fleeing now or spend the rest of your life in prison!"
With that, he happily ended the call.
Subsequently, via his binoculars, Matthew saw a large group of police officers arriving at Times Square. However, Alexander managed to escape under the protection of the guardians of Smith Co..
"What an interesting show!" Matthew exclaimed in a pleased tone before packing his belongings and leaving.
What he didn't realize was that a tracking app had been secretly installed on his phone during the ten- plus minutes he spent watching the live stream.
…
The sky had turned bright when Matthew returned to the farm.
After he entered, he habitually lay on the couch.
However, as time went by, he felt something was amiss. Hence, he opened his eyes and cautiously scanned his surroundings.
It was unusually quiet today, which indicated that something was wrong.
Then, he incidentally noticed an extra rope tied to the railing on the second floor.
Before he could react, the couch sheet beneath him flipped over, encasing him. As the rope tightened, he was suspended in mid-air, trapped in the couch cover.
The four people who had been hiding upstairs appeared at this point.
Seeing Matthew's flustered look, Danny leaned against the railing and scolded, "You're such a heartless b*stard that you can even kill your own brother! How I wish I could kill you right now!"
Just as Matthew struggled to free himself, Ariel released the rope to free his body before kicking him hard when he fell to the floor, rendering him unconscious.
Danny was taken aback when he saw that. "Honey, I was just running my mouth! Don't tell me you're really going to kill him?"
After all, they weren't like Matthew. They could never be heartless enough to murder someone they grew up with.
"What's wrong with that? I can't stand by and watch my man be bullied for no reason!" Ariel responded authoritatively as if she were telling Danny that he didn't need to be afraid because he was now under her protection.
"There's no issue with that! Honey, I love you!" Danny was so mesmerized by her that he started sending her flying kisses.
"Stop it!"
Jamie and Alicia were disgusted by Danny's action.
After a long night, the four of them rested for a while before bringing an unconscious Matthew back to the city.
They then sent Alicia back to her home before hurrying to the Griffith Manor.
…
Matthew was startled awake.
He was dreaming just moments ago but suddenly felt cold water being poured on his face. He opened his eyes to see Alexander and 'Anastasia' staring at him from the couch.
Matthew completely ignored his beloved Elise and glared at Alexander before shifting his gaze to check his surroundings. It was only then that he realized he was in the Griffith Manor.
Shocked, he turned his head back, a bad feeling enveloping him. "You caused such a stir in Times Square yesterday. How dare you stay here any longer? Are you not worried that Mesdra's police will come after you?"
Hearing that, Alexander crossed his legs and casually leaned back on the couch. "They’ve taken the money. Why would I need to be afraid of them?"
"What exactly do you mean?" Matthew narrowed his eyes and continued, "You committed such a heinous crime and even streamed it live! Over one million people tuned in! How could the police simply
take your money to settle the matter? Are you lying to me? Tell me that you're lying!"
Matthew shouted so loudly that he nearly jumped off the ground. Clement couldn't single-handedly keep Matthew under control, so Raymond had to step in to help.
"Are you referring to those actors?"
Alexander's tone was indifferent. His eyes narrowed and his long eyelashes covered his gaze, making him look like a god who was looking down upon the earth.
"Actors? How is this even possible? There are so many people in Times Square every day! You can't avoid all of the real passersby!" Matthew clenched his fists, refusing to believe Alexander's words.
"You're right. I did pay a substantial sum in compensation, but that was a lot easier than setting up a fake live stream for you. I had to do it in three days, and your nephew demanded a large sum from me just for that!" Alexander grumbled as he raised his brows and looked at Irvin, who was by the side.
"That's impossible! Even if you managed to set up a fake live stream, Twitter would never allow it!" Matthew was still clinging to the last shreds of hope.
At this point, Irvin lifted his head from his laptop. After walking over to Matthew, Irvin said in his childish voice, "Simply put, I created a room within my original room, but I altered something so that the comments would appear on their own at the times I specified. In fact, I've already reminded you that the code was 04250, but you still clicked inside it. You're not even on the same frequency as me, let alone my daddy. How are you going to go against him?"
When Matthew heard that, his expression changed once more and he began to doubt himself.
So, I was duped by Alexander's stepson, an eight-year-old child? Am I now the greatest joke in the world?
No… What would a child know? It is all because of Alexander! He's a cunning fox who always plots against others.
"You never intended to do what I said, did you?" Matthew inquired.
"Of course. What else did you think? Since you requested a gun battle scene, I decided to make you one. I would never sacrifice innocent lives to get ahead, even if it meant risking my own life. Danny won't do that either. Only you would," Alexander muttered with a shake of his head before adding, "You're always such a disappointment!"Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
