When Steven heard Charlie's words, all of the fats on Steven's body shuddered in an instant as he blurted out, "I don’t know anything! What do you want me to say?!"
Charlie took out his cell phone from his pocket before he pointed the camera at Steven. After that, he sneered and said, "I will only give you one chance. Tell me honestly now. How did the Schulz family plan to murder Helen Dunn and Sophie Schulz?"
"If I am satisfied with your performance, I can temporarily choose to spare your life. However, if your performance is unsatisfactory, I will make sure that you will permanently be listed as a missing person!”
Steven quivered in shock.
He was no fool. After all, Charlie could kidnap him directly. On one hand, this proved that Charlie had extraordinary strength and power, and on the other hand, this also proved that he had the ability to deal with the aftermath of this situation.
Therefore, Steven thought to himself, 'I've disappeared silently from the eyes of the public this time. Even if the public tried to look for me, there would be no way they would be able to find me at all. Even if Charlie decided to kill me, no one would be able to pin the
blame and responsibility for my death on him at all.' 2
'What is even more important is the fact that everyone knows that no one should ever lay their hands on any one of the direct descendants of the Schulz family. However, since Charlie actually dares to kidnap me, this can only mean that the Schulz family means nothing to Charlie at all...'
The thing that made Steven feel most worried about was the fact that the Schulz family meant nothing to Charlie at all.
He felt that under this kind of situation where Charlie was not after money nor giving the Schulz family any face at all, this meant that Charlie would truly be able t 0 kill him if he wanted to.
Therefore, if he did not perform well enough, he might really end up dying in Charlie's hands.
So, Steven could only sigh deep in his heart as he thought to himself, ‘If I were to betray my father today, he will not let me off so easily in the future. However, i n the final analysis, the most important thing at this time is to ensure my own safety and try to save my own life first...'
'Otherwise, even if I could preserve and protect my father's image and reputation, I will lose my head! So, what else is there to consider now?’
As he thought about this, Steven hurriedly said, "I... I will speak up. I will tell you everything!"
