Conrad smiled flatteringly, wanting to gather more information about Zac's death through Xavier.
He knew that Zac's death was definitely not an accident, but he couldn't find any evidence yet, which made him frustrated.
"There's nothing for us to talk about."
Xavier and Hendrey's attitude toward him was colder than before. Their contempt for Conrad was evident on their faces.
Listening to the cold and distant tone of the other party, Conrad no longer adopted a submissive attitude. Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "I'll be straightforward with you. I know that you have a deep hatred for Matthew Kings. That's why I came to find you."
The other party remained silent.
It seemed as though he was giving Conrad the chance to continue speaking.
Conrad took the hint and continued, "It's almost impossible for you to bring Matthew down or kill him on your own. If you're willing to cooperate with me or tell me the truth about Zac's death, I will help you get rid of him. That way, you won't have to get your hands dirty. You won't lose out on this deal, Xavier."
Conrad knew what Xavier needed. As long as he could convince the latter, Xavier could be of use to him.
He was confident about that.
Unexpectedly...
"Zac's death has already been concluded by the royal family of Castron. You already know what I know about. As for Matthew, whether you have the ability to kill him or not is your business. Whether I am capable of killing him and want him dead, it's all up to me to decide."
Xavier expressed his thoughts directly and without hesitation, stating, "I refuse to collaborate with someone I consider a hypocrite, and I have no intention of engaging in any form of cooperation with you."
After speaking, Xavier hung up the phone directly.
Conrad felt as if the punch on his face came as fast as a tornado.
One second, Conrad was full of confidence, but the next moment, he was filled with despair and fury. He angrily threw his phone to the ground and cursed, "D*mn it, what the hell?! How dare a leech like him call me a hypocrite?! D*mn!"
Conrad looked down on Xavier because the latter married Antheena and enjoyed the protection of her influential father, so he didn't have to care about anyone or anything.
Xavier's high and mighty attitude was what made Conrad feel disgusted. Behind the feeling of disgust was a strong sense of jealousy.
Both of them had experienced hardships, but what Conrad got from being tricked by Zac was only a few billion in investment, while Xavier, who was tricked by Matthew, ended up marrying the daughter of the Black Ace Mob and living a glamorous life.
