Arnall is dead.
The illegitimate son of Evans, who had suppressed Piero for more than ten years and lived cautiously for more than ten years, died at the hands of the opponent he had always looked down upon when he thought he was sure of victory and would soon be able to truly take over Thor Industries. ——Under Piero's gun.
The 9mm pistol bullet penetrated his skull and shattered his brain tissue.
All the emotions in Anol's eyes were frozen at this moment, and finally turned into nothingness.
Throwing away the Colt, Piero let out a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Isaac who fell to the ground.
"Hey, Isaac, stop pretending."
Isaac closed his eyes tightly and did not respond to Piero.
Such a reaction made the fat man feel nervous, and he quickly ran to the housekeeper's side.
"Isaac!"
Seeing that his butler still didn't respond, Piero quickly knelt beside him and pressed the button under Isaac's arm.
"Chi——"
The hydraulic lever of the exoskeleton operates, slowly opening the front cover, revealing the body armor under the armor.
This was what Piero had specially asked him to put on this morning.
There was a hole in Isaac's body armor, and blood was flowing out.
Although the exoskeleton armor consumes most of the kinetic energy of the electromagnetic rifle bullet, it is obvious that the remaining power can still penetrate the body armor.
Miscalculated.
Looking at the wound on Isaac's left chest, Piero felt like he had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.
"Master Piero."
The Longbow Apache landed on the ground, and the two people on board got off the helicopter and came to Piero's side.
"What happened?"
Piero turned back, his eyes straightened, and he forced a smile.
"Mr. Langdon."
"Issac injured?"
"I have no idea……"
"Let me take a look."
Piero nodded but did not move.
Langdon sighed slightly.
"Please step aside."
"Oh, alright."
Piero nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then he realized what he was doing. He quickly stood up and gave up his position.
Langdon touched Isaac's neck, then unhooked the body armor, glanced at the wound, and then looked at the body armor.
The bloody bullet's tail was stuck on the inner layer of the body armor, and it was pulled out together with the body armor.
The bullet is not too long, just over one centimeter.
"Fortunately, the wound is not serious, and the internal organs should not be damaged."
Langdon had been a military doctor, and Piero believed his analysis.
"Then why did he faint?"
"this……"
Langdon shrugged.
"There are many possible reasons, but his life is certainly not in danger in a short period of time."
Piero was relieved when he heard that Isaac's life was not in danger.
"You take Isaac back first, and hurry back to Old Port and go to Bartimo Hospital to treat him."
Piero's order made Langdon hesitate. He looked at the group of soldiers from the Lone Star Republic and asked worriedly.
"What about you?"
“My motorcade will arrive in a moment, don’t worry about me, you go first.
Don't worry, the most dangerous time is over and I'm safe now. "
"Okay, just be careful."
Langdon nodded, and then he and another person carried Isaac onto the plane and flew to the Old Port.
Knowing that Isaac was fine, Piero breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to Richie.
"Sorry, Mr. Rich, I just dealt with some personal matters."
Piero's humble attitude pleased Ricci very much, especially in contrast to the reckless Arnault.
"It doesn't matter."
Richie waved his hand, smiled and said to Piero:
“Being kind to your subordinates is a good virtue of a good leader.”
"Thank you."
Confidence and chic returned to Piero's face. He looked at Richie and asked with a smile:
"How about we discuss a compensation plan?"
Richie nodded slightly, agreeing.
"I heard Mr. Peco is running for Congress, right?"
He smiled and looked at Peko.
Peko nodded.
"Thor Industries has some influence in Lone Star - we do have two media outlets in Lone Star, you should know this, Mr. Rich.
I would use this to build momentum for Mr. Rich and help raise some campaign funds in Old Port, which would be some small compensation for Mr. Peco.
I wonder if Mr. Peco is willing to accept my apology? "
After hearing this, Peco's eyes flashed with joy. Seeing that Richie was smiling and had no objection, he nodded quickly.
This is a critical stage of the campaign, and any additional boost could tip the scales.
"Forget about apologizing or anything like that. I will remember how much you helped me."
"Thank you for your tolerance."
Piero bowed slightly to Peco, lowering his posture very low.
"As for the contract with the Delio family, I will reduce the price of all goods by 20%. Do you agree with this price?"
Seeing Richie nodding with satisfaction, Piero changed the topic.
“Of course, these promises can only be realized after I become the real controller of Raytheon Industries.
I think, for the sake of a better future for both of us, maybe I need to speed up the process a little bit.
This needs your help. "
"Hahaha."
Rich couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
The old man smiled and turned to look at Peco, pointed at Piero and said:
"You see, this is the real spirit of a human being. He promises you things in vain, but you still have to help him realize these empty promises.
OK, if you need anything, come to me. "
Ricci looked at Piero, smiled and patted him on the shoulder:
"Within three months, I hope these things can be fulfilled, okay?"
"no problem."
"Oh, right."
Richie seemed to suddenly remember, and continued:
"I don't want to see that electromagnetic rifle in the hands of the Roman legions."
"Don't worry about that."
Piero smiled like a flower.
“My father never thought I was a qualified businessman, and I don’t think so myself.
I'm actually better at spending money than making money. "
Richie nodded, said nothing more, turned around and left back to the car.
"Ryan!"
Seeing that Richie was about to leave, Peco winked at Ryan. Seeing that Ryan was hesitant, he took the initiative to pull him and walked towards Richie's car.
Yang Jie looked at Ryan who was walking away, narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"You kid."
Piero's voice suddenly came to his ears. Yang Jie turned around and saw Piero walking in front of him.
"The car is well repaired and the craftsmanship is very good."
After being recognized, Yang Jie stopped covering up.
He pushed up the mask of the exoskeleton armor and looked at Piero in silence.
Seeing Yang Jie's calm expression, Piero couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You don't seem surprised?"
"Chris went to Lone Star."
Yang Jie answered Piero's question in another way.
"That damn guy."
Piero didn't care after hearing this, he laughed and cursed and said:
"He has been hiding from me for so many years. He has no chance of gaining any advantage."
After finishing speaking, he shook his head to himself and looked at Yang Jie again.
"You are quite smart. I like you very much. Are you interested in following me?"
