71: Chapter 71: Instructions to Peter Brown 71: Chapter 71: Instructions to Peter Brown It was on the third day when Peter Brown was preparing to go to the county, Priest Wilson called.
With his first words, Priest Wilson said, “Peter, we’ve taken care of Reuben Taylor.
Don’t worry; if they haven’t stopped, we have other tricks up our sleeves.”
Peter was somewhat curious.
Priest Wilson said, “Which official doesn’t have a little problem?
That guy definitely has issues.
We’ve already got a lot of dirt on him.
It’s accurate and we’ve got him under control now.
As long as we arrest him, the people behind him will jump out, and then we’ll deal with them one by one.”
“I don’t care what you’ve done; I just need to make sure my road construction funds are there, and the roads built will not be discounted!” Peter was still somewhat angry.
He wanted to develop the mountain village, and yet people dared to touch the funds he had raised.
Peter’s anger was somewhat intense, and if it weren’t for Priest Wilson’s guarantee, Peter wouldn’t mind using some supernatural power to rectify these people.
“Rest assured, we’ve dealt with Reuben Taylor to deter some people.
In another two days, the problem will be resolved.” Priest Wilson knew what Peter was capable of, and he was genuinely afraid that Peter would use special powers.
If that happened, the situation would become even more severe.
Besides, Peter was their primary target to win over, so this matter must be handled well.
After hanging up the phone, Peter sat on a stone bench in the mountains, wondering what would happen next.
Since Priest Wilson had taken action, he would wait and see.
At that moment, Reuben Taylor called.
In a single call, Reuben excitedly said, “Peter, I have news for you.
That new guy has a problem.”
Peter said in just one sentence.
As Reuben Taylor asked the question, he immediately thought of his father’s purpose in having him make the call and nodded at his father sitting next to him.
If you want to move my funds, you have to see if they have the guts!”
Peter didn’t feel the need to hide anything from Reuben Taylor, and his words also implied that this matter concerned him.
“So you were behind it.
I was wondering how someone so formidable got into trouble as soon as they arrived here.
According to reports, his corruption cases were found in his previous post.”
“Keep an eye on who in the county is still moving my funds.
Whoever reaches out will suffer!”
After the call, Peter continued to ponder the development of the village.
He believed that since Priest Wilson and his people had taken action, they would not stop half way.
Reuben Taylor then looked at his father and said, “It was Peter who did it.”
Leonard’s father had some suspicions about Peter’s involvement, but he couldn’t help but not believe it, so he had his son make a call to investigate.
To his surprise, the matter indeed turned out to be Peter’s doing, and his shock at the revelation was indescribable.
“I didn’t know you had friends with such backgrounds in prison?” Leonard’s father asked.
Shaking his head, Reuben Taylor said, “There shouldn’t be any.
The strongest ones are from the provincial level, and actually, everyone knows about those few.
If there were any, I should know.”
“Then it’s strange; what kind of relationship did Peter go through?”
Considering the big shot behind Reuben Taylor, Leonard’s father had a new understanding of Peter’s abilities and increasingly felt that Peter was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
“By the way, something happened in East Sea last time.”
Reuben Taylor recounted the incident he witnessed Peter vanquishing Ghosts in East Sea.
Leonard’s father nodded slightly and said, “That makes sense.
He must have made contact with some powerful forces in East Sea.
With his abilities, this should be inevitable.”
While saying this, Leonard’s father’s eyes sparkled, “This is an opportunity!”
He immediately thought of using this opportunity to accomplish some things he wanted to do in the county.
Reuben Taylor said, “Dad, I think you should stand with Peter anyway.
I feel that Peter is not happy about how the county used the funds this time, and you didn’t withstand the pressure!”
Leonard’s father nodded slightly, as he too was frightened by the powerful forces from the other side.
If he had resisted a little more, the favor would be in their hands, but unfortunately, it was lost.
Leonard’s father had made up his mind to stand with Peter regardless of any circumstances.
It’s not just Leonard’s father who was thinking about this matter; even Mr.
Prentice, in the provincial capital, was also stunned as he looked at his secretary.
With regard to the misappropriation, Henry Martin did not approve either, as he wanted to repay the favor.
However, he couldn’t withstand the pressure.
Although it was only several million dollars in funding and not a major matter, the strength displayed by the opposing side showed that no one could object.
Prentice was so angry about this matter that he smashed a teacup in his office.
But just as the matter was handled, Reuben Taylor, who initiated the matter, ran into trouble, and with his insight, Mr.
Prentice did not see this as a minor matter.
After letting his secretary make inquiries, he was shocked by the power behind the incident.
“Boss, this is odd, it happened so suddenly…” The secretary, knowing the importance of this matter to Mr.
Prentice, recounted what he had learned.
Prentice’s mouth curled into a smile, “Very good, very good!”
Understanding the situation and thinking about Peter’s mysterious actions, it was clear to Mr.
Prentice that Peter must have been responsible for this matter.
Prentice didn’t know what channel Peter had used to make things happen, the matter demonstrated that Peter had some energy.
Prentice’s smile grew even wider, not expecting such a small amount of funding to cause so much commotion.
“Notify them that I will go to Peter’s village tomorrow to inspect the work.”
Prentice wanted to strengthen the relationship with Peter further.
Watching the secretary leave, Mr.
Prentice muttered to himself, “Everyone in the province should know about this by now!”
