654: Chapter 113 Achilles: I Am the Tidal Wave!

Eris thought he would emerge from the crisis to a life of glory that belonged to him.

Yes, he was conned by Glu into slaughtering a bunch of Forbes’s people.

But CEO Cheng had said it was no big deal, and Wolf had even joined forces with CEO Cheng.

Together, they had entrusted him with a job even bigger than taking out Forbes.

He had started out as an agent, and Eris was aware that being the hidden hand wasn’t that dangerous but instead held huge benefits.

So he was looking forward to his future.

However, when he had been waiting in the underground parking lot for an hour and CEO Cheng still hadn’t responded, his thoughts completely changed.

What’s it like to be sold out?

Hard to say, some people fight back, some regret, and some go hysterically mad, but Eris had been screwed over by life so many times, he had a strong heart.

At first, he thought CEO Cheng must have been held up after seeing the message and would be a little late.

Later, Eris let his mind wander to his future while waiting.

In the end, he just had his subordinate drive him away without saying anything.

Tonight, there were more wailing police cars than usual on the streets of Saint Rodu.

Eris was not afraid of these minor characters.

Yes, he had committed crimes, and many of them, but what he feared was never the so-called LAPD or Forbes.

He had traversed traps and quagmires, been pushed into a parricide case darker than darkness itself, thinking he had sold himself at a good price.

But now, it seemed he had become dispensable again.

Where there’s a gang, there’s a dispute, and where there’s a dispute, there are dispensable people.

Eris had already forgotten what anger felt like.

All he wanted now was a way to keep his heart free from worry, fear, and apprehension.

That was all.

But even this was something CEO Cheng couldn’t give him at the moment.

—————–

Eris thought of himself as disposable, but CEO Cheng never willingly let go of any chip that could be leveraged, although there were things even Cheng Daqi couldn’t control.

Of course, the Cheng Daqi of now was far from the pitiable figure embroiled in the Red Street kidnapping case; his power base was complicated, but indeed impressive.

He saw the unruly situation as a challenge and chose to wait and see.

He was now strategically on unfailing ground; what concerned him was how to win more and how to regain the respect he had lost, to get the benefits that belonged to him.

Dangling Eris was intentional; the man was involved in far too many things.

He seemed like an apparent breakthrough but was a big trap—no one dared to lightly mess with him.

Besides, if the sky falls, there’s always Wolf to hold it up, hardly something that could kill in a brief moment.

CEO Cheng had the patience to wait!

In the safe house, Danze brought him the latest news.

“Apart from the attack on you last night, Forbes’s Saint Rodu division was also hit.

Riel met with Eris, and things went smoothly.

He’s eager to meet with you.”

“And Glu?”

“Glu…

hasn’t contacted me or Riel.

I don’t know about anything else.”

“What about Daniel?”

“He’s coming tonight.

Meet here?”

“Hmm, as soon as possible.

I need some reliable people.”

Danze hesitated for a moment, then continued.

“Miss Temir contacted me.

I said I didn’t know how you were.”

“Good.

Don’t divulge my situation to anyone and continue to handle it this way.”

Little Black Brother left just like that, and Cheng Daqi went back upstairs from the basement to the ground level of the house.

There, he saw Lisa, who, despite having rested the whole night, was still visibly shaken.

“Cheng, what exactly happened last night?”

Cheng Daqi took some ice cubes from the fridge and mixed drinks for both of them.

They had planned to have a drink last night, but were interrupted by gunmen.

Fortunately, the safe house was not lacking in supplies.

“Mi’er’s brother gave me a little warning, I suppose.”

The blonde was visibly alarmed.

She knew Achilles and was only aware that Mi’er had a poor relationship with her brother, but a warning with hitmen?

That was insane.

And why would he warn you?

“Are you sure it was him?

Because of your relationship with Mi’er?”

Cheng Daqi smiled, considering Lisa’s identity, he thought some things could now be laid on the table.

The girl was already tied to him, and if Lisa couldn’t be trusted, then he really didn’t have many he could trust.

“Not sure, Glu isn’t that stupid, Eris isn’t that crazy, Wolf isn’t in that much of a hurry, and Niu Sen isn’t that petty.

Hmm, let me think, only Achilles is left.

Maybe because he doesn’t want me to jump the gun.”

Lisa knew Glu, and she thought about Cheng Daqi’s stance from last night.

He didn’t think he was a good person.

But Lisa believed that both CEO Cheng and Chief Glu were good people.

Chief Glu was a star cop, a crime nemesis, the great hero who led the charge in the kidnapping case, and the guardian of Saint Rodu.

“Glu, isn’t he the LAPD Chief?”

After adding some grape juice to the glass, Cheng Daqi handed the sweet beverage to Lisa.

“Yeah, the super dirty cop, an ally of Mi’er’s and mine before.

We saw him as the external force to help Mi’er in her fight for the Caramacris inheritance.”

This information contradicted common knowledge, and Lisa found it hard to accept.

She kept asking.

“Wait, wait, let me think, what about Eris?

Isn’t he just an ordinary businessman?”

Cheng Daqi’s friends in America were few, and Eris had met Lisa once before, leaving her with an impression of the middle-aged man with the neatly trimmed beard.

Eris: I also want to be an ordinary businessman, but I have no choice!

“He’s involved with the underworld, approximately controlling two gangs.

Before, he was the hidden helper for various local politicians’ campaigns and had some illegal side businesses.”
