Chapter 521 - 521: Everything was Being Recorded

Senator Mondragon aka the Dark Lord arched his brow in amus.e.m.e.nt as he watched Mr. Carter being enraged right now.

"Whoah, what a pleasant greeting from you, my old friend. I think you missed me a lot for you to scream like that," Senator Mondragon said nonchalantly. 

He was unaffected by Mr. Carter's sudden outburst. He was even enjoying the angry look on his face.

"I was never your friend. You just used people for your own benefits. You murdered my family! You used me as an instrument in your evil deeds, creating lots of Bio-weapons for you." Mr. Carter continued to insult the Dark Lord.

"You are pretending to be a good public servant in the eyes of people. They didn't know you are just deceiving them with your 'good man' act. Clean Senator my Ass? You are the evilest and most corrupt Senator of this Country!" 

Senator Mondragon just burst out laughing. It seemed that Mr. Carter was no longer afraid of him. He was talking back at him right now. 

Senator Mondragon couldn't tolerate loud and talkative people. Though he was not affected by Mr. Carter's words, he didn't like the way he was yelling at him.

.Soon, Senator Mondragon asked one of his guards inside that hall to give Mr. Carter a lesson. With just one signal from him, the guard took action as he punched Mr. Carter on his stomach. Mr. Carter winced in pain, cursing the Dark Lord.

While Mr. Carter and the Senator were in the middle of their confrontation, Senator Mondragon's phone started ringing but he ignored it for a moment. Senator Mondragon approached him and grabbed Mr. Carter's hair to raise his head so that they could meet each other's gazes. 

"You already know that I hate noisy people. Why are you still yelling? You can talk to me in a very calm manner," Senator Mondragon mumbled with a mocking smile on his face. He was smiling but the way he looked at him was threatening.

Even Alfonso, who was just watching on the sideline, could feel the dominance of the Dark Lord. He was so intimidating. His looks and his voice were both frightening. 

In that hall, Senator Mondragon appeared to be different from the person he always portrayed in the public, someone who could always smile tenderly in the Public… someone who looked like a good Samaritans for every good thing he did for his fellow countrymen.

"You are good at pretending. Who would have thought that the Senator they loved was a cunning old man who didn't care whether a country would be destroyed or not? He just wants to gain power and money, selling illegal firearms and bio-weapons to the international terrorist," Mr. Carter clenched his fists. He wanted to punch and beat this person right now if only his hands were not tied down.

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny with that truth?" Mr. Carter asked him again. 

Alfonso just remained silent since that's the order and instructions he received from Phantom and Erick. 'DO NOT INTERRUPT THEIR CONVERSATION.' Alfonso was very obedient, just allowing Mr. Carter to speak what's on his mind.

Meanwhile, Senator Mondragon's phone rang again but he was not in the mood to answer the phone right now. His attention was so focused on Mr. Carter. He was amused by the bravery he was showing him right now.

Senator Mondragon rubbed his chin as he assessed Mr. Carter. "Hmm, I don't know why but it seems like you are acting strange today, Carter. As far as I could remember, you are not talkative like this. Why are you so worked up today?"

Senator Mondraogon darted his gaze back and forth between Mr. Carter and Alfonso. Mr. Carter was taken aback while Alfonso was silently praying that the Dark Lord didn't notice anything. The way he said those words seemed like he was suspicious of something.

Mr. Carter who was quick to react sneered at Senator Mondragon. "Heh, people change. Unlike you, you still remained wicked. Oh, I'm wrong. You changed a bit. Now you became more cunning. Eyeing the position of the President of this country? What are you thinking, Dark Lord? What are you plotting again? How many families will suffer in your hands once more?"

"Mateo… Mateo… Mateo... Hmm, you are becoming bold and fierce, not afraid of me anymore? Do you think I will not kill you even if you continue pissing me off with your blabbering mouth? Do you really want to challenge and test my patience?"

Alfonso and Mr. Carter could sense the danger in Senator Mondragon's words. Alfonso glanced at Mr. Carter, he was telling him to stop provoking the Dark Lord.

Little did he know, Mr. Carter was intentionally doing this. He wanted to provoke the Dark Lord more so that he could show how ruthless and despicable he was. He wanted to break that mask. That's Mr. Carter's main goal.

"Why don't you just kill me? I don't want to work under you and be used as an instrument of your evil deeds once again!! How sure are you that by bringing me here, I will cooperate with you? You killed my family already." Mr. Carter's eyes were bloodshot as he looked daggers at Senator Mondragon.

"Even my only friend left, Chief Detective Lee, you also asked someone to kill him together with his woman today?!" Mr. Carter added, mentioning Erick and Elle.

Senator Mondreagon picked at his ear, he started to feel irritated toward Mr. Carter.

'He's really talkative today. This is so unlike him.' Senator Mondragon pondered at that thought.

His patience was wearing thin. "Don't mention people who are already dead. Besides, it's your fault that the two of them had to die. If you didn't tell Chief Detective Lee about the existence of a bio-weapon facility then maybe they would still be alive by now. You got them involved in this so blame yourself."

"Second, you should have waited for me to win the Presidential Election first before you revealed the existence of the bio-weapon facility. At least I will not be threatened that much if I am already the President of the Country even if Detective Lee learns the truth about the bio-weapons."

"As for Aliyah Ross, I planned to let her go, but too bad she saw my face and discovered my real identity. I couldn't let her ruin everything so she also needed to die."

"And last but not the least… yes, I can make you obey my command and you will have no choice but to work for me again. Did you forget about the orphanage that you are supporting? Do you want the kids to suffer because of your disobedience?" Senator Mondragon was threatening him right now.

As expected, Senator Mondragon had investigated everything about Mateo Carter, especially what he did while he was hiding and running from the Dark Knight Organization. He experienced sleeping on the street, meeting lots of street children who became close to him.

With his compassionate heart, Mr. Carter found ways how to earn money using his intelligence and skills. He brought those street children to a certain orphanage and he kept on earning money to provide donations to that institution.

He even tried to do gambling to earn money that he would donate to the orphanage. That's the reason why Erick and Elle found him being beaten by the Gang before.

"F*ck You, Dark Lord! Don't you dare hurt the kids! Just go to hell already!" Mr. Carter became enraged again because of Senator Mondragon's last statement. 

The guards immediately held Mr. Carter in place as he struggled against them. He wanted to attack Senator Mondragon. Senator Mondragon was just laughing at him.

It did not take long when Senator Mondragon's phone rang once more inside the hall. This time he paid attention to the caller. Someone was calling him a while ago but he continued ignoring the phone call.

When he saw that it was a call from Diana, his daughter, he answered the phone right away. As soon as he clicked the answer call-button, Diana's panicking voice was heard from the other line.

"Dad, what took you so long to answer?!! What's happening? Where are you? Stop talking any further. Everyone can see you right now. You are on National TV! Your conversation and everything you are doing there are being broadcasted live! People are witnessing everything!"
