Chapter 536 Luke’s Hostility Grew!


    Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Luke thought that he had seen the same trick before.


    He remembered the berserk Persian cat when they were in Blue Honors.


    Both incidents were very simr, and he could not help but feel suspicious.


    "Boss, these snakes aren''t native to the country. Someone must have smuggled them in through the


    ck market," Jason analyzed calmly.


    Luke narrowed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Contact Percy Mallory and ask him


    for his help. He should be able to find the source of the snakes and the details of the transaction."


    He could roughly guess who the mastermind was, but he did not have solid evidence yet.


    Once he could confirm that the mastermind was the same person in his mind, he would not spare them


    any mercy!


    The media reported heavily on the news about the appearance of venomous snakes in La Fontaine


    Mansions.


    La Fontaine Mansions was a development project under T Corporation. It was an elite low-density


    neighborhood, and each of the mansions cost tens of millions of dors. The house owners became


    fearful after they knew about the incident.


    Certain media outlets were bribed to report negatively on the incident. They criticized that most of T


    Corporation''s development projects were nothing but low-quality cash-grabs, and Luke Crawford was


    the most unscrupulous developer in all of A City. They drew parallels between the arson case at


    Greenview Regalia and the incident of the venomous snakes at La Fontaine Mansions, criticizing that T


    Corporation did not show any concern toward the safety of the homeowners.


    The media also caught on to the fact that Luke had harbored a woman in La Fontaine Mansions, and


    they reported widely on Bianca''s hospitalization.


    Luke Crawford had been in the limelighttely. He had often appeared in the news thanks to the


    engagement ceremonies with Bianca Rayne and Leia Norman. In addition to that, the trial for the arson


    case was starting soon, and now another major incident happened in another project of T


    Corporation...


    The media snapped onto those shocking incidents.


    After receiving negative press from the media, T Corporation''s share prices which had begun to


    stabilize started to drop again.


    Media reporters flocked to the hospital Bianca was in, eager to unearth more information about T


    Corporation and Luke''s personal life.


    The reporters surrounded Luke in the ward. He focused all his attention on the unconscious Bianca,


    and he was extremely irritated by the distractions.


    He turned around and addressed the reporters. "All those so-called exposes are nothing but lies.


    Someone has released the snakes in the mansion in a murder attempt. When the investigation is done,


    I will give everyone a satisfactory exnation. Anyone who makes up stories will find theirpanies


    shuttered!"


    Luke''s vicious words and his icy demeanor intimidated the reporters. Some media outlets stopped


    reporting on the incident, but others who were not scared continued to report on it.


    At the moment, Luke was in a horrible mood.


    Bianca had a weak constitution. Adding that to the fright she suffered from the snakes, the baby was at


    a huge risk of miscarriage. Even Johann had to be extremely careful when saving the baby.


    His woman''s condition was not optimistic, and the reporters were buzzing around like flies. That


    contributed to Luke''s bad mood.


    Once he lost his temper, he instantly shut down the media outlets that continued to spew nonsense.


    The other media outlets knew that Luke meant what he said, and his patience had already been worn


    out. After weighing the pros and cons, they instantly recalled their reporters in case they were caught


    up in his rampage.


    After all, Luke was not one to y dirty. If he wanted you bankrupt, not only would he bankrupt you, but


    he would also saddle you with huge debts.


    Luke was a scary individual, and no one dared to cross him.


    Previously, any gossip on Luke only served to entertain the masses.


    However, when the rumors involved Bianca, he was not going to tolerate it.


    After his threat, all the reporters disappeared from the hospital. The hospital was once again peaceful.


    Jason and Sean investigated the ck market and the pesticide supplier respectively.


    Transactions in the ck market should have been ndestine. However, Percy controlled the ck


    market, and he turned the other way because he was good friends with Luke. Soon, useful information


    was found.


    The person who bought the ck mambas was a man named Gregor Jones. On the surface, he was a


    hooligan who survived on extorting small businesses. However, he was discovered to have a hidden


    identity.


    He was a special forces soldier who served in the southeastern region of the country. After he left the


    army, he joined an international mercenary organization.


    Most intriguingly, his direct superior was Wayne tt.


    Gregor Jones had bought the venomous snakes from the ck market.


    They ran into some obstacles when they hunted down the pesticide supplier. Uncle Vald had been


    unconscious, and it took two days before the identity and whereabouts of the pesticide supplier were


    found.


    However, the pesticide supplier seemed to have disappeared from A City. There were no traces of him


    anywhere.


    They could not trace his movements, except that he had checked into a luxury hotel three days ago.


    If they could not track him down, it meant that the pesticide supplier had used a fake identity or that


    someone was harboring him somewhere.


    A man could not have disappeared like a magic trick.


    In the hospital ward.


    Luke had been racking his brain over the mystery. His gaze was downcast, and no one knew what he


    was thinking.


    Johann reced Bianca''s intravenous drip. He nced at Bianca''s peaceful sleeping face, then at


    Luke''s serious expression, and shook his head.


    "Bro, the baby is safe now. Don''t worry," he said jokingly, "I say, don''t frown so much when you''re still


    so young. It''s a big waste of your handsome face! Do you want to look like a fifty-year-old when you’re


    not even thirty?"


    Luke shot an icy nce at him. Johann chuckled and shifted the topic. "I''m just joking. You don''t have


    to be too serious about it. I say, Sis is so gentle and kind, so which b*stard would be so brazen to harm


    her? I wonder why they spend so much effort to assassinate her with snakes when a bullet could''ve


    done the same thing."


    Johann could not figure out why the perpetrator would use such a convoluted method.


    Luke spoke coldly, "Assassinating someone with conventional means would easily arouse suspicion.


    As long as they are careful, snakes can be treated as an ident. Moreover, the mastermind would be


    able to capitalize on the ''ident'' and take down T Corporation in one fell swoop."


    However, the perpetrator did not consider that snakes were mere beasts with limited mental capacity.


    That was why Bianca was able to survive the ordeal.


    Bianca was lucky to escape death, but she could not rely on luck all the time.


    Luke held Bianca''s cold hand and ced it on his palm. He was experiencing a mixture of emotions:


    Pity, love, and guilt.


    His phone rang.


    Luke answered it. "Did you find anything?"


    Johann could not hear what the other end said, but he could feel Luke''s hostility growing, like a spider


    weaving its web, or like a demon emerging from hell. He could not help but shudder!
