Chapter 857
They had escaped, so there was no need to cause unnecessary trouble to Cooper.
Sean drank some beer with them and said, “It’s okay. Everything is within Cooper’s expectations.”
No matter whether Cooper or Alex was to me for Faye’s death, it was all the Mitchell Family’s fault
anyway. The Edwards Family and Cooper had already turned against each other. So, it was nothing
much for thetter to be med for one more death.
At the thought of the future held, an intense feeling rose in Dimon’s heart. They knew that if they went
back now, they would probably die at the hands of Alex.
Since they had left the Mitchell Family, they were now considered traitors. Therefore, being found by
Alex would mean certain death.
Not only would they die, but their families would also suffer.
This was Alex’s reign of terror! If one didn’t obey him, he would kill one’s parents, wives, and children!
Sean patted Dimon on the shoulder and said, “It’s okay. Your men’s families are safe now. You can rest
assured to follow Uncle Cooper in the future. It will benefit all of you.”
Dimon nodded, his gaze more determined than ever.
They were members of the Mitchell Family and were forever loyal to the Mitchell Family! Moreover,
Cooper was also the former patriarch of the Mitchell Family!
Since Alex did not show us mercy, we’re not to me!
Although Dimon was only a minor leader, he still had a group of confidants. In addition to these two
dozen men, there were dozens of others who were notified right then to follow Cooper!
Sophia took two sleeping pills and slept soundly all night. When she woke up, the ship was almost in
Demarca.
“There really was an explosion?”
Sophia thought it was a joke when she learned that Cooper had blown up the ind.
Faced with her question, Michael confidently replied, “Yes, and the whole ind sank. I saw it with my
own eyes.”
Sophia still found it incredulous. But when she thought about it, it was Cooper after all.
I guess that’s a natural thing for him to do. After all, Cooper is the founder of dictators. If he wants to
bomb it, it will get bombed! He’s simply a lunatic.
That was why Michael had always stayed servile before Cooper and tried to be as modest as possible.
Since he wanted to win over thetter’s daughter, he had no choice but to make an effort, as Cooper
was not a foolish man.
Bubbles came near Sophia’s bed. Yesterday, those from the Mitchell Family had rushed into the room
and taken Judge and Barney, but they didn’t take Bubbles and Corrado. Perhaps it was because
Corrado was Master Sam’s dog. If they touched Corrado, Master Sam would be upset. They probably
also thought that Bubbles looked too cute and wouldn’t bite, so they let the two of them go.
But Bubbles was still frightened. Pitifully, it looked at everyone and kept whining for a hug.
Stroking Bubbles, Sophia remembered Judge and asked, “How are Judge and Barney?”
When Judge and Barney were mentioned, Michael felt his heart constricted. “Barney is fine; it was just
a superficial wound. But Judge…”
Sophia’s heart sank. Her mind was filled with scenes of Judge being hit with a stick and blood spurting
from its head.
Whenever these scenes appeared, her head would suffer terrible pain, as if she had experienced such
beating before.
Her brain had no memory, but her body still retained the memory…
“It’s okay. It’s okay. We’ll be in Demarca soon, and the best veterinarian in the country is on standby at
the pier.” Michael massaged Sophia’s temples for her.
The ship finally arrived at the pier, and as expected, there was a veterinarian waiting at the pier. Before
Sophia had a chance to see Judge, she saw it being carried into the car, which drove away with
Stanley as well.
Sean and his party had already arrived by ne. When they saw the ship docked at the pier, they
came to greet them. Cooper noticed Dimon and the others but did not say anything, for he knew that
they never had a choice to begin with.
Soon, Dimon and his men wore Cooper’s family crest and officially became Cooper’s followers. Their
parents, wives, and children were also moved to a safer ce.
Judge was sent to the veterinary hospital for surgery, and Barney was also sent in for treatment.
After a night of treatment, Barney’s condition had improved a lot, but it was still frail. Locked in a cage,
it cried with pain and attempted to bite anyone who came near. As it was still fearful, it almost bit the vet
as well.
It still didn’t know what it did wrong, nor why those people hit it for no reason.
However, Barney had already eaten a human. It remembered the taste of human flesh and even
enjoyed the pleasure of hunting and killing people. This was the first time it had killed and eaten a
human, but it wouldn’t be thest.
As a pet lion, once it killed a human, it would either be executed or released into the wild.
If it continued to be kept in a household, there was no guarantee that it would not continue to kill
people.
But if it was released into the wild, it had no hunting skills, so it would be dead sooner orter.
Sophia sat outside the cage where Barney was locked up in and kept a watch on the IV infusion bag.
Barney was still whining and looking like a two-meter-tall orange cat.
“It’s okay, Barney. We will go home soon to the African savannah. That’s your real home!”
Maybe I shouldn’t have brought Barney to Cethos. Africa is still its real home.
After the surgery, Judge’s condition was brought under control, but it was not out of danger yet. Barney
also needed to continue its treatment. Sophia decided to take Barney back to Africa. Judge would
come along for treatment as well, since there was a better veterinarian in Africa.
Sophia saw Judge when it was brought onto the ne. Covered with tubes and gauze, it also wore an
Elizabethan cor. The dog appeared at the brink of death as ity there in aa, breathing weakly.
Stanley sat paralyzed to one side as if he had lost the whole world.
Sophia, too, couldn’t ept it. How can a healthy dog turn out this way?N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
The atmosphere was gloomy all the way to Africa. Stanley kept staring at Judge without eating nor
drinking. Michael had to persuade him for a long time before he would drink some milk.
Sophia nced at Judge and Stanley, then took out her phone and checked the news about Bayside
City.
Bayside City was in turmoil. Faye Edwards, an A-list celebrity, had died under suspicious
circumstances, while Alex came out to ce all the me on Cooper.
The Edwards Family also cooperated with Alex well. They jointly used Sophia’s lion and dog of
mauling and eating humans, causing any voice of reason to be drowned out.
The public became angry overnight and wanted the lion killed to avenge Faye’s death.
A day ago, they had branded Faye as a shameless b*tch and a wh*re who had messed around since
she was a child. Now, they had suddenly all be her diehard fans, even going so far as to threaten
to smash Sophia and Cooper’s properties if Faye’s death was not brought to justice.
Sophia was a little worried, so she went to the conference room to find Cooper. He was discussing
something with Linus.
“Dad, have you watched the news?”
Her tone was a little anxious. This was the first time she had encountered such a big event, and she felt
that her young shoulders could not bear such weight.
Putting down the wine ss in his hand, Cooper nced at the news and patted Sophia’s young
shoulders. He said with a smile, “Come, darling. I will teach you something new. Remember, there is no
enmity thatsts forever, nor friendship. Only benefits are eternal!”
In order to help Sophia understand more intuitively, Cooper gave a live demonstration on the spot.
Just as the news of Faye’s death raged on the inte and the public demanded Cooper and Scarlett
to pay for it with their lives, Cooper’s spokesperson in Bayside City held a press conference. The
spokesperson announced that Cooper’s team had developed an efficient method to increase gasoline
usage. In fact, the method could increase the utilization rate of gasoline by one-fifth!
It wasmon knowledge that gasoline was a scarce resource and could not be regenerated.
Countries all over the world had been racking their brains toe up with ways to increase the
utilization rate of gasoline as much as possible. Thus, it came as a bombshell revtion that Cooper’s
team had developed a method to do this.
An increase of the utilization rate by one-fifth! By extrapting the data, it was obvious that this method
could save a staggering amount of gasoline and resources every year!
