Chapter 1087


    Indeed, he didn''t have the capability to ask Toby to return the goods to him after thetter had seized


    them. However, he was never the kind of person who would keep his grievances to himself. He couldn''t


    fight against Toby openly as thetter was rich and powerful. Still, he could secretly put a spoke in


    Toby''s wheel to disgust him.


    A hint of excitement shed across Xander''s face when he realized what Connor meant. He


    immediately replied with a nod, "Yes, Mr. Salzburg. I''ll get it done right away."


    "Just go." Connor waved his hand.


    Xander left quickly to make the necessary arrangements.


    Connor picked up the remote control and reyed the paused video of the opera, upon which the video


    started ying again. Unfortunately, this time he was no longer in the pleasant mood he had been in as


    he rewatched the video.


    Toby was still unaware that Connor was already setting a trap for him. At this moment, he and Sonia


    arrived at the police station. He had just parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to get


    out of the car when his phone rang. It was a phone call from Tom.


    Sonia released her grip on the car door handle when she saw that. "Answer it. We''ll get out of the car


    after you finish talking."


    "Give me a minute." Toby nodded slightly before swiping his thumb across the phone''s screen. Then,


    he held the phone to his ear as he spoke. "Hello?"


    Tom''s apparently excited voice sounded through the phone. "President Fuller, what we did to Triforce


    Enterprise was a sess. Chief Dup has heard the information disclosed by our men. After he left


    thepany, he went to the Mining Resources Bureau right away to check the files on the mine


    copse back then."


    "Uh-huh," Toby mumbled. "Got it."


    "It''s too bad that Titus did a clean job of destroying the evidence back then. Regrettably, the conclusive


    evidence is gone, or he''d absolutely be shot to death. How ironic that we can only make him pay an


    astronomicalpensation in retribution at the moment," Tom said with a sigh of regret.


    Toby pursed his lips before turning to look at Sonia. "I''m also to me for this. Titus went out of his way


    to borrow some of my men while getting rid of some of the evidence back then, which was why I knew


    about this. If I had been able to stop him from destroying the evidence, or if I had been able to get my


    hands on the evidence before he did, he wouldn''t have been so lucky right now."


    When Sonia noticed how the man med himself for how things had turned out this way, she patted


    his hand and reassured him with a smile, "What are you feeling sorry about? You were hypnotized into


    thinking you loved Tina back then. Titus is her father, so it was normal for you to help him. It''s just that I


    never thought you''d help him with this kind of thing."


    Toby replied with a frown, "I didn''t know Titus had borrowed my men to get rid of such evidence. I


    wouldn''t have lent my men to him if I had known about this. I shielded him at the time for Tina''s sake,


    but I wouldn''t be so unscrupulous. We''re talking about the lives of 15 people here." He thought nothing


    of people''s lives, nor did he care about the lives of others, but he wouldn''t act with no regard for human


    life as Titus did. Not only did thetter not stop after people were killed, but he even made a special


    effort to hide it and destroy the evidence.


    Sonia let out a disbelieving gasp when she heard the figure. "What? 15 lives, you say?"


    Toby nodded. "That''s right; there were 15 of them. I was also shocked upon learning about this. When


    Titus asked me to lend him my men back then, I didn''t know what he was trying to do, so I simply lent


    my men to him without asking him about it. It wasn''t until when my men came backter that I realized


    Titus had actually done such a thing. It was my mistake." As he had said, had he known earlier that


    Titus would do such a thing, he wouldn''t have lent him his men.


    "You''re not to me for this." Sonia looked at him with a smile. "After all, who would''ve known that


    Titus would do such a thing? Even if you asked him about it, I don''t think he''d tell you the truth either."


    Toby''s eyes were full of regret as he massaged his temples. "I just regret it. I could''ve helped you


    obtain the conclusive proof that could crush Titus, but I let it slip through my fingers just like that."


    Sonia tucked her hair behind her ears. "You don''t have to me yourself for this. This is fate; no one


    knows what will happen in the future, and neither do you. You didn''t know at the time that the situation


    would turn out the way it does today, so you don''t have to think that this is your fault. Perhaps God


    doesn''t want us to crush him so easily. Well, there''s no way we could destroy him now, but we can at


    least weaken his influence. Then, when he goes to prison in the future, he''ll realize that not only has he


    ended up going to prison anyway, but he''s even spent a lot more money. Isn''t such an oue even


    better?" she said while covering her mouth with a chuckle.


    Toby stared at her for a while before ruffling her hair. "You''re right."


    Sonia raised her chin to signal Toby to look at his phone. "Alright, hurry and answer Tom''s phone call,


    or he''d still be waiting."


    The phone conversation with Tom was still ongoing. Toby pressed the phone against his ear again as


    he instructed, "Pay more attention to Titus'' side and help Chief Dup in secret as much as you can. If


    he pursues the case the wrong way, have someone correct him. I want Titus to lose a fortune this


    time." As he spoke, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    Tom replied with a nod, "Alright, President Fuller. By the way, things are going smoothly on Connor''s


    side. The goods have been intercepted; they''re all custom-made high-quality goods from abroad.


    Connor''s quite willing to spend the money."


    "He intended to use that batch of goods to open up the Lacralian market, so he had to get a batch of


    high-quality ones, of course. Nheless, this batch of goods is now ours," Toby replied as his thin lips


    curved into a smirk.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Tom scratched his head. "But, President Fuller, that batch of goods isn''t useful to us. Ourpany


    doesn''t do the processing of goods."


    Toby decided the goods'' destination at once. "Have them delivered to Paradigm Co."


    Sonia didn''t expect to be involved in this. Rather, she looked up in surprise, asking, "Why are you


    delivering the goods to Paradigm Co.?"


    Toby turned to look at him. "Isn''t Paradigm Co. specialized in the processing of goods?"


    Soniaughed. "Yes, it is, but we don''t do the routine processing of goods. We only do the processing


    of heavy industry spare parts. I''ve looked into the Salzburg Group before. Thepany mainly deals


    with processing electrical engines, so I can roughly guess that the goods you intercepted are chips or


    engine bearings. Even if I have these, I can''t process them."


    "You can use the batch of processing machines you ordered from Kosovo to process and assemble


    engines with a little modification. So, you can give it a try using this batch of goods first. If the


    processing of the engines ends up being a sess, Paradigm Co. will be able to develop a new line of


    business, which is good for thepany''s growth," Toby exined.


    Sonia was startled. "Is that possible?"


    Tom quickly chimed in over the phone, "Miss Reed, what President Fuller said is indeed true. The


    batch ofrge processing machines you ordered can indeed be modified to process sophisticated


    things like engines."


    Now that Tom had said the same thing, Sonia''s heartbeat quickened in anticipation. She was


    somewhat tempted, but she couldn''te to a decisive decision after pondering the matter. After all,


    reforming apany was no trifling matter, so she couldn''t rush into a decision.


    Still, when Toby saw how tempted and hesitant she was, he took her hand in his, brought it to his lips,


    and kissed it. "There''s no need to feel torn about it. All you have to do is give it a try. And besides,


    these goods are snatched from Connor; they''re a token of apology for how he snatched your goodsst


    time. They don''t cost money, so you won''t lose money by giving them a try. Moreover, such an


    opportunity is hard toe by, so there''s no harm in trying. If you miss out on it, it''s hard for such an


    opportunity to arise the second time."
