Lure Them Out With Their Bait Leroy looked at Kingsley cautiously and said, "That's why… I collaborated with a different construction company instead. However, you haven't been in Cleapolis recently, so I was thinking of waiting for you to come back before I tell you…"
Kingsley gave him a satisfactory nod. "Good job. I was already planning to do that in the first place."
After he heard from Mason that Jonah was one of the culprits behind Xavier's murder, he planned to cancel the contract with Codrington Construction. However, he'd been tied up with various other matters recently, so he had to put this issue off. He hadn't expected Leroy to settle this in his stead, though.
At the sight of Kingsley not getting mad, Leroy felt at ease. With a cheeky smile, he said, "It's great that you didn't blame me for deciding on my own, Mr. Nicholson."
"I put you in charge of the Nicholson Family Cemetery's construction, so this is within your rights. You didn't decide on your own." Kingsley said, "Just do what you want in the future. I trust you!"
After hearing the word 'trust' emerging from Kingsley's lips, Leroy instantly teared up. "Mr. Nicholson, I won't let you down! I swear, I'll build the cemetery as if it were my father's!"
His words rendered Kingsley speechless for a moment before he finally said, "All right. I know you're loyal, but if Mr. Johnson hears that, he'd definitely give you a beating."
"Hehe…" Leroy scratched his head sheepishly before his expression turned serious. "Um…. Mr.
Nicholson, have you caught the culprit who bombed this place?"
At his words, Kingsley retracted his smile as well. "I've already sent someone to look into it. Don't worry, there will be no other accidents here!"
He then patted Leroy on the shoulder again. "All right, I'm leaving. Call me if anything comes up."
"Yes, Mr. Nicholson!"
Under Leroy's watchful gaze, Kingsley slowly backed his car out of the Nicholson Family Cemetery. At first, he had planned to look around Thinking Cup Coffee, but he decided to give Lancer a call after hearing Leroy's words.
After obtaining the phone numbers of the two Sweoyan explosive sellers from Tyler and telling Lancer to wait until the commotion of the Jovovich Family's capture died down before getting into contact with the Sweoyans, he estimated that—after so many days—Lancer had probably begun to make his move.
At that thought, he stopped his car by the side of the road and dialed Lancer's number. "Hey, Lancer. How's the investigation on the two explosive sellers going?"
Lancer replied, "Ares, I've already contacted them with the phone number that was given and told them that I want to purchase a large number of explosives, but they were extremely cautious and said that we have to discuss it in person before they could decide if they would go through with the deal."
Kingsley narrowed his eyes. "I'm guessing that these two are part of the Earthworm spy group who are secretly selling explosives to make more money, so they'd inevitably be more cautious than other firearms dealers."
"Boss, if that's the case, I'll invite them out and send our men to capture them so that we can interrogate them!"
Hearing that, Kingsley said in a low voice, "To put it simply, Earthworm is a bait association. I'm guessing that they don't know much inside information, just like Karl and the others. Hence, instead of capturing them for interrogation, we might as well keep them around and use them as bait to reel the big fish in!"
Lancer asked, "Boss, are you saying that I should do business with them normally, then use them to capture their leader, Stork?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Kingsley nodded. "If Earthworm goes down completely, Stork will only go further into hiding! It'd be better for us to lure that cunning Stork out with their bait instead!"
Lancer immediately understood and replied, "I understand, Boss. I'll contact Mr. Field immediately and invite him for a talk!"
