Chapter 1286: 1283
He also knew what Wesley Wright was shouting about now.
It was nothing more than an attempt to drag the pyramid into the mess as well!
And such a response also left Wesley Wright quite embarrassed.
From the show of force to the first move in his scheme, all had been nullified.
“Hiss…”
He sucked in a breath of cold air, five minutes had passed, and the only sensation was the Extreme Cold Ice Mat beneath him being exceptionally chilly.
But why did the guy next to him show not the slightest reaction?
Pretending!
Definitely pretending!
Even now, feeling chilled to the bone and blood seemingly freezing, Wesley Wright still couldn’t let go of the pride that came with being a powerful figure and was equally unwilling to show any signs of irregularity.
He even continued with a smile, “Don’t you find it odd that Lucas was able to leave the Eastern Alliance alive and find you?”
He had finally played his next move!
And this move, he believed, was one that Oliver Walker would not be able to dodge!
“Indeed, it’s strange!”
Oliver Walker said with a slight smile, “But that was before. Now, after seeing the head of the Wright family, I’ve had quite the revelation!”
The waters here were indeed too deep.
And Wesley Wright, as the controller of the Higashimoto Company, truly had a frightening depth to his machinations!
“Oh?”
Wesley Wright slightly narrowed his eyes, seemingly intrigued, but within that smile, there was clearly a hint of fear.
Was the young man in front of him really just a thirty-year-old?
At least, that’s what the officials from the pyramid had revealed about his age.
His appearance, too, didn’t differ much from that of a thirty-year-old.
Only…
The way he acted and spoke, it didn’t seem like the impetuousness of a thirty-year-old, rather the composure one would expect!
“In the presence of everyone, you crippled Lucas’ viscera to set an example,” he said.
“It was also to deceive onlookers and to announce to the Eastern Alliance that Lucas had become useless!”
“But in reality, you didn’t damage his Visceral Wall!”
Oliver Walker’s expression remained unchanging, as if in this ghostly cold environment, even his temper could have been frozen solid.
In Wesley Wright’s profound gaze, a strange light twinkled, and he continued to analyze, “So you deliberately spared his life to make use of him in the future.”
“Of course, what you wanted to use him for was…”
“To tell me everything in the pyramid!”
One had to say, Wesley Wright’s calculations were indeed profound. Although he did not command Lucas, he made Lucas do exactly what he wanted.
And Lucas, to this day, likely did not know that setting foot in the pyramid was actually the task given to him by Wesley Wright.
Wesley Wright’s expression was slightly awkward, clearly annoyed by Oliver Walker seeing through his ploy.
His lips twitched, wanting to retort that it was all just a mistake.
But…
Such nonsense, even he wouldn’t believe it. Could a mistake so elementary really be made by the second-ranked expert in the Eastern Alliance ninja hierarchy?
In fact, when Oliver Walker noticed something amiss with Lucas’s injuries, he was puzzled, thinking that Wesley Wright might have had a vestige of conscience. But after stepping into this hall and having a confrontation with Wesley Wright, he finally saw everything clearly.
This old man was bereft of conscience.
Everything he did was just to achieve his own ends.
For that, he would even sacrifice his own daughter!
To be honest, letting a girl with a naturally innocent nature be with such a wolfish father truly worried him.
“But I have absolutely no reason to do so!”
After a long silence, Wesley Wright’s tone deepened significantly, exhaling plumes of white breath as he spoke.
Obviously, even though he grew up in a cold environment from a young age, he found it hard to endure the temperature of the Extreme Cold Ice Mat.
This was not a limit a human could endure!
