The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 753 Lord of Compos Mentis

Ring, ring, ring… As the ringing echoed through, his heart raced along with it.

It had been over a decade since he last dialed this number, and he didn't know if it would still go through…

Amidst his apprehensions, the call connected!

A voice with magnetic allure came through, "John Timothy?"

"It... It's me!" John's spirit jolted, and he responded immediately.

He didn't expect that even after so many years, the other person still remembered him!

The person on the other end spoke indifferently, "Did I not tell you to disappear and never contact me again after taking the money? If what happened seventeen years ago were to be exposed, both of our necks would be on the line." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"I understand, Venerable Mentis… I understand the seriousness of the matter," John's voice sounded a bit hoarse. "But... but the Nicholsons have come looking for us. They're planning to retaliate against us in Cleapolis!"

Cosmo Mentis clearly paused after hearing John's words, and only after a dozen seconds passed did he question gravely, "Is anyone still alive from the Nicholson Family?"

"There's a young man. According to Felix, he's only in his early twenties. I speculate that he is Xavier Nicholson's son," John explained. "Because after the fire back then, Randy only found two sets of remains at the scene—those of Xavier Nicholson and his wife."

Then, he added, "By the way, both Felix and Randy were the small fries I brought in to help handle the situation back then."

"What?!" Cosmo suddenly erupted in anger. "You only found two sets of remains back then? Why didn't you tell me?! Didn't you say that the Nicholsons had been taken care of?!"

John trembled in fear. "V-Venerable Mentis, because that child was only five years old at the time, and the fire had reduced the Nicholson Manor to ruins. I thought that perhaps the small remains were buried somewhere and couldn't be found. I didn't want to ruin the entire achievement over this minor detail, so I…"

His voice grew weaker as he spoke.

There was a full minute of silence on the other end of the call, and then Cosmo's voice turned cold. "Fine, I won't pursue this matter further as long as you eliminate that potential threat thoroughly."

John wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and stuttered, "But… But…"

"But what?!" Cosmo's voice turned icy. "Back then, I gave you a mind-boggling reward, enough to secure you a life of luxury for ten lifetimes! Don't tell me you can't handle a twenty-year-old kid! I, Venerable Cosmo Mentis, not only have to handle an overwhelming number of affairs daily but my status and position are also evident! Are you suggesting that I personally deal with a brat?!

John struggled to swallow a gulp of saliva. "Venerable Mentis, that kid is a force to be reckoned with in the underworld! Those underworld figures are not easily swayed by money when it comes to their loyalty and sense of camaraderie. So, I plan to take a different approach by targeting a woman around him… However, in the process, I need assistance from a member of Seavale's Arison Family to help. But he's extremely proud and uncooperative. So, I wanted to ask you if there's any way to make him cooperate?"

"The Seavale Arison Family…" Cosmo pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. I will resolve this matter within three days. At the same time, I hope this is the last time you contact me. Deal with the Nicholson Family's trouble as soon as possible!"

A heavy burden lifted from John's heart upon hearing Cosmo's promise to help.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, absolutely, Venerable Mentis. As long as Director Arison agrees to help, I will definitely make that kid willingly walk into our trap!"
