It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 31

Howell was watching the interview on TV. Seeing Malcolm authoritatively announcing his relationship with Lucia, his eyes darkened. His fingers unconsciously clenched the cup of tea in his hand before he smashed it onto the floor with an angry growl. The teacup shattered, spilling the pale yellow liquid onto the floor. The strong scent of tea spread throughout the room.

“Are you challenging me?” Howell shouted angrily before turning to Sean.

“Sean, this woman needs to die. The crisis had started in the Middle East. I’m sure Malcolm will go there in person to sort things out. Meanwhile, there will be no one here to protect this woman,” Howell said with a mischievous look in his eyes.

“Yes, I understand,” Sean replied calmly.

“Malcolm, let’s see who wins in the end!” You will have to face an opponent of your level, as well as all kinds of problems that will present themselves to you. Will you be able to handle them all at once? Howell asked mockingly as he stared at Malcolm’s face on the television screen.

At the port of Alexandria, Egypt

“What did you say? asked Enoch in utter disbelief.

“Sir, there is a problem with the goods we are going to trade with John. Byron’s tone was calm, but there was a hint of cruelty in his gaze. Despite their close protection, someone else had found an opportunity to cause trouble.

Enoch paced nervously in his room. “Who on earth… could cause such trouble? » He had been in Egypt for more than a month, and had shown meticulous care during the preparations. The chance of him making a mistake was almost zero.

But for one reason or another, all the goods in the container were quietly traded right under his nose. The worst part was that it happened just a week before the deal closed. No matter how hard Enoch tried to obtain the necessary goods from other sources, it would be impossible for him to obtain the sufficient quantity in such a short time.

After all, these were not ordinary goods, but weapons. In the Middle East, the biggest traffickers all involved weapons and drugs. These were strictly prohibited in the rest of the world. The weapons that Enoch had obtained had been shipped to the Middle East through special secret channels, and had been stored in the container to be released to the buyer a week later. But at the most critical moment, the weapons were gone!

” Who did that? Is there a spy in the company? » All sorts of paranoid assumptions raced through Enoch’s mind. He thought about every person working for him, trying to figure out who the suspect was. If it wasn’t one of his men who stole the weapons, he couldn’t understand how a stranger could have managed to do it. It was impossible to steal all of those weapons from the container until everyone in the warehouse was dead.

It didn’t make sense to suspect the men working at the warehouse. After all, they were all trained by the Evans family, and swore an oath of loyalty to the family. They would have shed b***d and even given their lives to protect the family, so there was no chance that they would betray the family. But above all, it was well known that the Evans family would take vicious revenge on anyone who betrayed them. They subjected their enemies to a kind of torture even more painful than death. Instead of killing them directly, the Evans family instilled fear deep in their hearts, a fear they could never shake off. The traitors would die slowly after having a nervous breakdown.

“Does Malcolm know about all this? Enoch asked indifferently. The usual playful smile on his face was gone, replaced by a serious look.

” Not yet. Should we inform him? » Byron respectfully awaited Enoch’s instructions.

” No, not now. Let’s see what happens today,” Enoch said calmly, after thinking.

” Yes sir! » After this, Byron hid again.

Putting one of his hands in his pocket, Enoch stood in front of the window in silence. He was staring at some point in the distance, lost in thought.

Miles away, there seemed to be a deserted factory. The factory was surrounded by weeds as tall as men, which swayed in the wind. But if one were to walk through the weeds, they would discover that there were actually a lot of soldiers hiding outside the factory. Each of these soldiers wore a camouflage uniform to hide in the desert, and held an AK47 sniper rifle in their hands. The periphery of the factory was lined with an electric fence. Birds that accidentally brushed against the fence instantly fell dead to the ground. Even if a person managed to get past the fence, they were shot dead on the spot by the soldiers.

This was the other stronghold of the Evans family in Egypt. There were the best troops, the most advanced weapons, the best scientific research personnel, and even the most expensive medicines. More than seventy percent of the firearms traded in the Middle East region came from this place. Many illegal buyers from all over the world were trying to contact this place. Additionally, the so-called designer drugs used by wealthy people all came from this factory. The raw materials were all extracted from beautiful opium poppies harvested specially from the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia.

Standing at the window, frowning, Enoch turned and walked towards the door, closely followed by Byron. To his surprise, the door opened before he reached it, and Terrell entered without knocking.

“Sir, we have problems. There was an explosion in the factory,” Terrell said nervously.

” What did you say? » Enoch unconsciously raised his voice.

“An explosion occurred in the factory. We haven’t found the cause yet, but we suspect it was done by a spy. The explosion took place in the furnace of our drug extraction factory. We are supposed to deliver a medication order in two weeks. Additionally, three researchers died in the accident. Other than that, everything is going well so far. It’s not a big loss for us, but it could bring a lot of problems. » Terrell gave a brief summary of the situation.

” Shit! “, Enoch swore, angrily smashing the objects on his desk. “Who the hell is behind this?” »

“Sir, what should we do now? Terrell asked, gulping in fear.

They couldn’t let the situation continue to escalate like this. The weapons they were supposed to deliver in a week were missing, for which they would have to take responsibility to the customer. But since the customer in question was John, a former customer of theirs, he would be understanding enough to wait for the goods despite the delay. At most, they will lose a certain amount of money. But now that there is something at the drug extraction factory, the problem might not be so easy to solve. Even if they managed to procure another batch of raw materials, they would not be able to produce the medicines in such a short time.

“Byron, it’s time to inform my brother. Terrell, asks Finn to check all the surveillance cameras in the factory. I will go there in person to examine the situation. If you find anything unusual, notify me immediately. » Enoch quickly gave respective orders.

Then he walked straight to the car parked outside, followed by Terrell, who got into the driver’s seat. Wasting no time, Terrell drove quickly toward the factory.

When the guards at the factory entrance saw Enoch’s car approaching, they let her in without subjecting her to any inspection. Terrell didn’t slow down at all until the car was right in front of the factory gate. Only then did he brake, and the car stopped at the entrance with a sharp screech.

Enoch quickly got out of the car and entered the factory. Terrell also left the driver’s seat and followed. They both headed straight towards where the explosion had occurred. The bloodstains in the laboratory have been completely cleaned up, and the bodies of the three dead researchers have been removed. The other researchers continued to work at their computers as if nothing had happened.

A person without great mental capacity could not work in such a stressful and violent environment all year round. Otherwise, sooner or later, they would end up depressed and even commit suicide. Even the scientific research personnel here have been carefully trained by the Evans family.

After observing the laboratory for a moment, Enoch turned to walk towards the furnace, his fists clenched. The explosion scene was horrific to watch, to say the least. Fortunately, each furnace in the factory was kept completely independent from the others. Therefore, even if something went wrong in one of the ovens, it would not affect the others.

After leaving the room, Enoch went to the factory office. He raised his fingers to massage his aching forehead. The current situation was so chaotic that he couldn’t even think straight, let alone find the culprit. Just then, the phone in his pocket rang. After looking at the caller’s name, he answered the phone anxiously.

“Malcolm,” Enoch greeted, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.

” What? Are you already intimidated? Malcolm asked coldly, as if all these situations didn’t affect him in any way.

“No,” Enoch replied firmly, regaining his composure.

” GOOD. Tomorrow I will be there. We’ll talk about it when I get there,” Malcolm said coldly.

“Okay,” Enoch replied in a low voice.

After that, Malcolm hung up. ” Damn it! Who the hell is behind this? » Enoch was so angry that he smashed the phone against the wall, causing it to break into pieces and scatter on the floor. There was a knock on the door, and Finn entered.

“Sir, I checked all the surveillance videos, but I did not find any unusual activity. However, there is a blind spot in the factory. The culprit, whoever he was, must have taken advantage of this blind spot to cause the explosion. But the only thing I know for sure is that it’s an inside job,” Finn reported truthfully.

“You mean you’re not yet able to find the culprit?” » Enoch took a deep breath to calm himself.

” No, not at the moment. He’s very careful,” Finn replied respectfully, nodding.

“Well, my brother will be here tomorrow. Make sure there are no other problems. » Enoch gave him a meaningful look.

Malcolm was the most influential person in the Evans family. Enoch couldn’t afford to take any chances when it came to himself. It was possible that the enemy’s target was Malcolm, and that he was doing all this just to attract Malcolm. In this case, Malcolm would have walked into a trap. Enoch didn’t want an accident to happen again.

” Yes sir. I see. » After taking Enoch’s instructions, Finn left the office.

Once again, the room fell into silence. Terrell stood in the shadows of the corner, and Enoch said nothing more. He just lowered his head, lost in thought. He desperately wanted to find a clue that would put an end to all of this.

It was an unusually hectic day.

In the Evans Group

After hanging up the phone with Enoch, Malcolm stared out the window.

“So, you finally made your choice?” » A bloodthirsty smile crossed Malcolm’s face. It was his excitement at finally facing a worthy opponent. He was going to show his enemy that he was the king of the world, and that no one had the right to covet what belonged to him.
