Chapter 536 Luke's Hostility Grew!

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 similar, 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 black 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 dollars. 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 limelight lately. 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 explanation. Anyone who makes up stories will find their companies 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 play 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 black market and the pesticide supplier respectively.

Transactions in the black market should have been clandestine. However, Percy controlled the black market, and he turned the other way because he was good friends with Luke. Soon, useful information was found.

The person who bought the black 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 Blatt.

Gregor Jones had bought the venomous snakes from the black 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 replaced Bianca's intravenous drip. He glanced 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 glance 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 accident. Moreover, the mastermind would be able to capitalize on the “accident’ 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 placed 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!
