Merlin had always been unhappy with Xavion, mainly because of his dislike for Xavion.
He had also heard that Xavion's father, Spencer, had taken the opportunity to seize power while Jordan was vulnerable. Merlin admired Jordan a lot, so he despised Spencer and his son, Xavion.
Xavion could not deal with Merlin because Merlin was just too famous, and he also had a high political status in the White House. Merlin was known as the light of the Oskians in the United States. He had even received an award from the current president for solving a serial murder case that had lasted for ten years.
He had a strong following and supporter base in the United States and was viewed a s a symbol to the Oskians in the United States. If something were to happen to him, the Oskians in the United States would parade for his justice.
Therefore, Xavion had no way to deal with Merlin at all. He could not offend him nor d o anything to him. If he hurt him, it would hurt the Fox family a lot.
Merlin looked at Xavion and said, "Xavion, your son may be missing now, but in my opinion, your son may not be completely innocent in regards to the incident today!"
He looked around as he said that and said i n a cold voice, "You're a smart man. Think about it yourself. Your son could have organized a simple charity dinner, but he insisted on spending so much effort to come up with such a complicated arrangement. Could he possibly have had any good intentions?"
Xavion was at a loss for words. He might be an arrogant man, but he was considerably smart. He also thought it was abnormal for Homer to have come up with such a deliberate arrangement.
The strangest of all was not what Merlin had said. The nature of the event itself was just strange.
Homer had never been interested in charity! He had never been interested whenever the family did some charitable activities and invited him to come along. However, he had suddenly taken the initiative to donate dozens of millions of U S dollars, even going as far as to organize a charity dinner and charity trust fund. That i n itself was already very abnormal and not Homer's nature.
Coupled with other strange and unreasonable details, Xavion vaguely felt that Homer had other motives behind this deliberate arrangement.
However, Xavion would never admit this. H e steeled himself and said to Merlin stubbornly, "Lammy, don't forget that my son is a victim here! The police should focus on finding my son and bring him back safely!"
Merlin chuckled as he said, "We have policies in handling cases. We don’t need and won’t allow others to give us orders.”
