Chapter 531: Chapter 519: Commit Suicide

A group of people squeezed into a room, each with only one chair, unable to sleep if they wanted to. Under any other circumstances, Yang Yi would insist on a more comfortable place where everyone could rest properly, but now, he thought it might be better to keep everyone gathered together.

"No need," he said, "it’s just that I have two brothers who were sent for medical treatment and there’s still no news of them. I want to know how they’re doing."

La Pulda immediately replied, "They’re at the hospital, one of them was shot in the abdomen. It’s quite troublesome to treat, but the surgery has ended. We wanted to bring both of them here together, but if you have any objections, we can send them back immediately."

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Hmm, forget it, let them stay in the hospital. The conditions here aren’t very good."

La Pulda looked at the people in the room, then he spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Elvin is expected to arrive in six hours. I would like to reiterate that you can choose a comfortable place to rest. If Terry’s misconduct has made you suspect the reputation of the cleaners and created hostilities, I would like to apologize to you once again and ask you to dismiss any hard feelings."

La Pulda noticed that Yang Yi was looking towards Xiao Ran, and after Xiao Ran nodded subtly at him, Yang Yi finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Alright, please arrange a decent place for us to rest. Also, what about Terry’s misconduct you just mentioned?"

La Pulda smiled and said, "Mr. Elvin will have a reasonable and satisfactory response for you. Please wait a moment, the room will be arranged shortly."

Terry had said there were no spare rooms, but once La Pulda took charge, the situation changed. Whether it was two people to a room or one person per room, Yang Yi and his associates were quickly accommodated, and the rooms even thoughtfully had a hearty breakfast prepared.

Eat when it’s time to eat, drink when it’s time to drink, Yang Yi wasn’t worried about being poisoned in his food because the cleaners wouldn’t stoop to such petty actions.

After eating his fill and having a good drink, Yang Yi lay in bed and slept straight through to the afternoon, until he was awakened by knocking at his door.

Yang Yi went to open the door, and there was Elvin standing at his doorstep.

Elvin smiled and said, "Hi, long time no see."

"Long time no see, come in," Yang Yi replied.

Elvin, being an acquaintance, shook his head and smiled, "I won’t come in, please follow me. It’s better to talk in a different place."

Yang Yi followed Elvin, and the two of them entered a large room where they sat opposite each other on either side of a dining table.

After Yang Yi sat down, Elvin suddenly bowed slightly and said, "First of all, on behalf of the cleaners, I formally apologize to you."

Yang Yi, having just sat down, had to stand up again, and with a puzzled face, he said, "What is this all about?"

Elvin replied with a serious face, "We stick to our word, no additional conditions, no word games. Terry violated the most basic principles of the cleaners."

After finishing, Elvin continued with the same seriousness, "You successfully conveyed the information about the Grey-cloaked People obtaining the gold to us and helped us seize this batch of gold. You did an excellent job but regarding the compensation we promised you, there was a very serious error in our execution. Thus, there was a problem with our work. For that, I must formally apologize to you."

Yang Yi responded half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Oh, does this mean the commission can be raised a bit?"

"No, the commission remains at fifteen million US dollars, that will not change."

After inviting Yang Yi to take a seat, Elvin also sat down and then looked at Yang Yi saying, "Regarding the janitor’s reward, first, you have become a level C client and a level C collaborator; there is no question about that. As for meeting your request for an additional reward, which is to resolve the trouble in the United Kingdom, Terry made a very wrong decision. He asked you for one hundred million US dollars, which is unacceptable."

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Well, since you recognize the mistake, how do you plan to make it up to me?"

Elvin nodded, then he called out loudly, "Bring in the person."

Elvin had only spoken loudly, and soon, Terry and a man with a severe face walked in through the door together.

Terry’s face was full of disappointment, while the young man behind him wore an expression of chilling ruthlessness.

Both men stood next to Elvin.

Elvin looked at Yang Yi and said, "I knew you would care about this issue, so I decided to break the norm. Instead of settling our internal issues privately, I want you to witness it personally."

After saying this, Elvin looked at Terry and said, "Terry, tell me why you privately asked for a price for the solution provided by the organization to the client, and also prevented the client’s upgrade."

Terry, with a soulless demeanor, said, "I just, I just, I just wanted to increase some income for the organization. I knew Sea God had just got a large sum of money, and our funds are very tight right now, so I thought perhaps we could earn some extra income."

Elvin’s face was devoid of any warmth as he said, "Was it for yourself or for the organization to earn this money? If it was for the organization, then do you think the core principles of the organization or one hundred million dollars, which is more important?"

Terry sighed softly, then looked up at Elvin and said, "I, I..."

Elvin, with a look of disgust, said sternly, "We’ve just investigated your account, and it’s two hundred and thirty million US dollars in the red. Over the past four months, you’ve been charging clients additional fees privately. Do you have any reasonable explanation for this?"

Terry started to tremble uncontrollably and said in a low voice, "I..."

Elvin waved his hand impatiently and said, "It’s normal for mistakes to occur at work, but you shouldn’t try to compensate for your own errors with greater mistakes. Now the facts are clear. You... go in peace. This matter ends with you."

After speaking, Elvin waved his hand and said sternly, "Do it yourself, right here."

Terry wobbled, and the young man behind him immediately grabbed his arm, but upon seeing that Terry could still stand on his own, he then let go of Terry.

Terry said with a trembling voice, "You want me to commit suicide? Impossible! You have no right to judge me. I demand a meeting with the Elders’ Council. Only the Elders’ Council can judge me!"

Elvin looked at Terry with disgust and said coldly, "This is the verdict of the Elders’ Council. And now you have committed an additional deadly sin, leaking secrets in front of an outsider. Is the Elders’ Council something you can mention now? Out of respect for you as an elder, I’ll repeat myself. Take care of it yourself here, and the matter ends with you, or do you plan to have someone else do it?"

Terry’s face turned ashen. He trembled for a moment, then in despair, he reached into his coat, pulled out a handgun, and shakily placed the barrel in his mouth. However, he simply couldn’t pull the trigger.

Elvin looked at him with disdain and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Terry gave Elvin a look of despair, closed his eyes, and finally, violently pulled the trigger.
