Chapter 79 - Heated Arguments

"Where is my son?" Ron Stewart shouted at the members present in the conference room. Beside him were Mr. Arthur Emerson and Mr. James Lockwood.

Ron Stewart is Head of the Stewart Family. The Stewart Family runs a couple of Restaurants in Red Stone City. And they have invested in some other food industries. 

So, money was never been a problem. But, today the only successor, Max Stewart went missing inside the building. Now, that security footage is watched by almost everyone in the room.

Seeing such a deteriorating situation.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Stewart, Sir. Mathew Notts is on his way" Mr. Daniel Wildes persuaded him. The TTC panel members argued that the current investigation is led by the Auction Team not them.

After hearing his argument. Mr. Ron Stewart calmed down. Deep down in his heart. There is something he didn't tell everyone. Including Mr. Arthur Emerson and Mr. James Lockwood.

He felt this was not the right place and time for that. For now, he hoped that TTC comes up with some answers.

Soon, the atmosphere quiets down suddenly. Mr. Mathew Notts arrived here. He is with his cunning team leader Mr. John.

Mr. Mathew then took a seat and looked at all the people present here. "Now, what happened?" he asked. Mr. Daniel Wildes from TTC explained the new situation.

There was a surprising glint that appeared in Mr. John's eyes. He personally interrogated the robber. But, he didn't tell me anything like that.

Then the footage was shown. Mr. Mathew Notts had an expressionless face. But, deep down in his heart. This new situation makes current progress complex.

He has already informed Authorities and Stakeholders about the Robbery. He also revealed the identity of the masterminds.

They now are making an effort to seize their available assets in Red Stone city. They can only make up for the loss by doing so. 

By today evening the Auction Company plans to open the news to the public. And the information about the mastermind is shared among all nearby tier-8 cities.

Even if it's needed, it will be shared to tier-7 city. It's not easy to convert looted items to credit points in Tier-7 city. 

So, they are hoping to catch masterminds and robbers within Tier-8 cities. Now, everything was going according to plan. But, the new situation is tricky.

Mr. Mathew closed his eyes for a moment and said, "Don't you think it's a personal vendetta? That man in the footage is not a robber."

Then he added, "We confirmed with our Intel and also robber's statement. The robbery was a separate act. And this incident is a separate act."

Hearing that there is pin-drop silence in the conference room. Mr. Daniel Wildes furrowed his eyebrow. He thought this bald man's statement.

Doesn't help anything. It's only worsening the situation. "I'm more interested in the disappearance," Mr. Mathew Notts said with a smile. 

Then he continued by saying. "It's impossible for a person to disappear into thin air without happening something." Hearing that, Mr. Daniel Wildes got displeased.

He asked, "What do you mean Mr. Mathew? " There is small anger on his face. 

Mr. Mathew looked at him "I mean, Mr. Ron's son disappeared into your building. Either a TTC job or some personal Vendetta. As far I'm concerned, this got nothing to do with robbery incident." Mr. Mathew said with a smile.

All of the panel members reached the same conclusion. They treat it as an isolated incident. But, Mr. Daniel Wildes wasn't ready to accept the answer.

He firmly rejected by saying, "I'm not sure about that, Mr. Mathew. The person seen from that footage is not from our TTC. I believe he is from Auction Company."

Mr. Daniel Wildes dropped this huge bombshell Hearing that, Mr. Mathew stood up from his seat. "Don't spew rubbish words Daniel" Mr. Mathew shouted at Mr. Daniel Wildes.

He released Special Trainee aura in anger. Both sides started to spat suddenly. Two overwhelming aurae from both sides started to appear. Mr. Arthur Emerson and Mr. James Lockwood safeguard themselves from this aura.

Mr. Ron Stewart started to get worried. Mr. Mike and Mr. John from both sides mediated and turned off the atmosphere. The atmosphere has now cooled down.

Mr. Daniel Wildes once again said, "I'm not saying without evidence. At Auction day. The building was off-limits. Only people arrived to participate in the auction were allowed."

Hearing that, Mr. Mathew Calmed down his heart. 

He took a seat, then said, "Continue!"

"We verified all the people in the building. That unidentified person is not our staff or Auction Participant. Then except for one team. That's your company; my team verified that one of your staff never left the building. He too seems to be disappearing"

All of the panel member's eyes were wide open. It's a new development. Now, the ball is in their court. Mr. Daniel Wildes found a safety key for their current predicament.

It's true that both incidents were isolated incidents. But, both were an act of an inside job.

Mr. Daniel Wildes started to make a strategy. If they publicize the robbery news as an inside job to the public domain.

Then it's game over for Thomas Trade Centre. The same Can be done for their Auction Company. It's a more severe case than robbery.

He actually wants to reach common grounds in both of these incidents. "I believe you won't give us the footage. Just, like we have done it in the interrogation room." Mr. Mathew Notts said with a serious tone. 

Hearing that, Mr. Daniel Wildes calmly nodded. Now, both of them had cards against each other. Which can be used for their destruction.

Out of all of them, only three people worried about Max. They had a displeasing look hearing both of their conversation.

They are doing everything to save their organization's face. They are not worried about missing person's life.

Mr. Mathew was in a dilemma. He doesn't know what to do? He thought this Daniel guy won't speak Unless He got something concrete.

He massages his temple, then he gestures to Mr. John to come near. Mr. Mathew informed something in his ear. He told him to stop publicizing the news for a time being.
