Chapter 70

In the Onassis mansion, Ricky was struggling to deal with the questioning of the family's higher-ups.

Some media outlets purposely took out the video of Gu Ding and Ter's battle on Skynet. However, they did not focus on Gu Ding's combat effectiveness. Instead, they focused on what Ter said when he was being interrogated by Liliath — his name was Ricky Onassis.

The fact that the leader of the top ten wealthiest families cooperated with a notorious person like Ter was undoubtedly an excellent gossip topic to hype up. Moreover, it could lead to all sorts of other topics.

For example, did anyone from the other families have dealings with Ter? Did these so-called socialites have dirty dealings with other more notorious people? What were those things?

This incident did not only affect the Onassis family. The other families also kept a low profile, worried that some of the shady things they had done would be exposed by the media.

Because of this incident, many of Ricky's collections were questioned by the media. Some media outlets even directly questioned him on how many of his collections were obtained through similar unclean means.

Hundreds of media outlets kept calling Ricky's communicator number and the other higher-ups of the Onassis family. This was also the reason why the other higher-ups of the family were furious. Although he was the one in power in name, in reality, he had been in power for less than two years. The big decisions were made by his father and some of the family elders. He only played the role of announcing the results.

"Master, Gu Ding and Liliath didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They've been shopping all afternoon. They probably know that we have a lot of people here, so they don't want to get involved. " The butler walked over and whispered to him, "Also, the old master just called my communicator, and he said that your line has been busy. He sounds very angry, and he wants me to pass on a message to you — no matter what method you use, you must settle this matter. Otherwise, the next family meeting will be your last day as the head of the family. "

Hearing this, Ricky picked up his communicator and was about to call his father's communicator number when the butler stopped him.

"Master, it's useless. You'll only make the old master even more unhappy." The butler knew the personality of every member of the Onassis family very well. "No matter how you explain, the old master won't listen."

"What should I do?" Ricky knew that what the butler said was the truth.

"Focus on solving this problem. Don't think about anything else." The butler still appeared very calm. After all, this matter did not have much to do with him, so he could completely stay out of it.

"My head's all jumbled up. Tell me what to do, Butler. I know I should have listened to you from the beginning and shouldn't have dealt with people like Ter, but now that things have come to this, I really need your help. "Ricky held his head helplessly.

"If you want to end the topic, you have to solve the problem from the source." Butler Bartley was silent for a moment before he gave his answer.

"You mean to kill Ter, Gu Ding, and the others?"

"Ter must die!" Butler did not even blink when he said this. "However, we can't touch Gu Ding and Liliath. Gu Ding is a pharmacologist, and he has the Hermean Alliance behind him. Killing him will only make things worse. They're the federal government's problem, not us. Besides, they're just two kids who haven't even grown their hair yet. There's no need to worry about what they can do. On the other hand, it's not the first time you've worked with Ter. If this matter is exposed, you might not only lose your position as head of the family, but you might also lose the Onassis family name. Only with his death will this matter not be dug out. "

"But if we kill Ter now, the media will easily think that we did it." Ricky frowned. He felt that Butler's suggestion was a little risky.

"What we need to do is not to kill Ter, but to cause Ter's death." The corner of Butler's mouth raised slightly. "Didn't he just fight with Gu Ding? After a big fight, it's easy for people to have symptoms like internal bleeding. Besides, I happen to know a medical examiner who does autopsies. You don't have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me. I believe that the news tomorrow morning will be 'Interstellar Hunter Ter dies of internal bleeding after being defeated'. "

"Even if that's the case, the media will still suspect us, right? Ter must have injected himself with a cell repair agent by now. The possibility of internal bleeding is very low. Besides, even if it's an ordinary civilian intelligent wristwatch, if it detects any abnormalities in the body, it will show up and remind the host to seek medical attention as soon as possible. "Ricky still felt that there was a loophole in this method.

"His wristwatch might have been damaged in the fight with Gu Ding, causing it to be inoperative." Butler maintained his smile. "If the internal injury is serious, the cell repair agent might not be able to repair it in one go. Besides, he's a guy who likes to overeat. The probability of internal bleeding is much higher than ordinary people."

"Don't worry. I'll do this flawlessly. It doesn't matter what the media says when the time comes. As long as they don't have any evidence, and we firmly deny it, that's enough. "Butler's expression was calm. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had dealt with this kind of thing.

When night fell, Lilliath and Gu Ding finally ended their shopping spree in the mall.

"I want to eat that restaurant's lamb chops again. What do you think?" Lilliath put a leather bag she had just bought into the Inventory and looked up at Gu Ding.

"I think so too." Gu Ding's taste was similar to Lilliath's. He also thought that the lamb chops at the tavern in the afternoon were delicious. "I think we should find a chef as soon as possible."

"I have a request. The lamb chops have to be at least of this standard." Lilliath nodded in agreement.

"Agreed!"

"I object. Are you two bullying a member like me who doesn't have a sense of taste?" Neptune's voice rang in their ears, but his protest was directly ignored.

When the two arrived at the tavern, the seats were almost full. However, the waiter was very enthusiastic when he saw Gu Ding and Lilliath because the two had helped him get back the meal that Ter owed him. They had also made Ter compensate for the damaged tables and chairs in the tavern.

Under the waiter's guidance, the two quickly found a seat and sat down. Just as they ordered the lamb chops, Neptune's voice was heard. "Ter fell dead on the side of the road after dinner. The forensic examiner performed an autopsy on the spot, and the results showed that it was internal bleeding caused by an old injury. His wristwatch was damaged by someone, and he couldn't monitor his condition. "

"Ricky moved fast." Lilliath did not even need to think to know what had happened.

"It must have been the butler who killed Ter so easily, wasn't it? A Rank-8 Gene Body is actually this strong! "Gu Ding frowned slightly.

"They won't do anything to you two." Neptune already knew what happened in the mansion. "In their words, you two brats can't cause any trouble."

"I hope they still think that way tomorrow." Gu Ding grinned as he saw the waiter walking over with the lamb chops.
