74: Chapter 74 Surrender

Under Xu Yi's arrangement, Victoria boarded a plane to the United States.

Victoria looked down through the airplane window. From today on, she would be leaving the place where she had lived her entire life. Although there was some reluctance, it was an unavoidable situation.

The plane took off, and Zhili Country became smaller and smaller, until it could no longer be seen.

Although Victoria had followed her father's arrangements to live in another country and never return to Zhili Country, and would no longer concern herself with anything that happened here, this would allow her to live happily forever with her only son.

Let the past be the past...

Although Victoria had let go of these matters, it did not mean everyone was prepared to leave the past behind.

Butler Wang did not follow Victoria to the United States. Although Victoria wanted him to go with her so they could look after each other, he refused; he still wanted to live in the city he was most familiar with.

In fact, he still harbored some resentment toward Victoria for giving up on revenge so easily.

Although Butler Wang knew he was a timid person, he had been receiving favors from the Victor Family for so many years. If he didn't do something, he felt he would be letting down the Victor Family.

Regardless, the Victor Family had treated Butler Wang very well, not like how they treated others; he had long considered this place his home.

A few days ago, he went to see Victor Anfei's father. After the old man heard the terrible news, he was overcome with grief. Seeing the grieving old man, Butler Wang didn't feel very good either.

In truth, his staying in the Victor Family was not because of how well Victor Anfei had treated him, but because he had received favors from Old Master Victor.

If it hadn't been for Old Master Victor's help, he might not even be in this world anymore.

He swore to Old Master Victor that he would definitely avenge Victor Anfei.

If he wanted to avenge them, he had to infiltrate the inner circle of Robinson and his group, and the best candidate for this was Moriarty.

Inside The Emperors Place Bar

Looking at Butler Wang kneeling on the ground, Moriarty was somewhat puzzled. After all, he and Victor's group were not on good terms. So, seeing him come here, he was still somewhat suspicious.

Was this a case of a weasel paying respects to a chicken with no good intentions? However, he didn't speak; he wanted to see what kind of mischief this Butler Wang was up to.

"Mr. Moriarty. I am here to surrender to you. Now that the Victor Family has fallen, people must plan for their own future, so I would like you to take me in."

Butler Wang looked at Moriarty with a sincere expression.

"What the hell? You're surrendering to me? You want me to take you in to work for me? Aren't you thinking a bit too much? Brother, we used to be enemies. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to come and surrender to an enemy now?"

Hearing this, Butler Wang trembled slightly.

"I, I have no other choice. Although I know we were enemies before, the Victor Family is gone now. We can live in peace, right?"

Moriarty was truly about to die laughing at Butler Wang. How could this person's train of thought be so strange?

"Little brother, do you have a fever? Live in peace? Are you kidding me? Do you really think we can live in peace?"

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm serious. I am really serious. Please believe in my sincerity."

"Oh? But I don't see your sincerity. I only see you."

"It's like this." Butler Wang knelt forward.

"Mr. Moriarty, when I was working by Victoria's side, I got to know quite a few wealthy people. I can introduce them to you so that your business can grow even stronger."

"Do you think this is very tempting to me?"

Moriarty really despised such people; they would betray their former masters just to survive. Such people were the most shameful.

"Then what do you suggest? How about I work as a handyman for you, and let you see my performance?"

Butler Wang steeled his heart. No matter what, he had to stay with Moriarty.

"You go out first and wait outside the door. Let me think about it. Once I've considered it clearly, I will give you an answer."

Butler Wang's eyes lit up; he seemed to see hope.

Inside, Moriarty took out his phone and called Zhang Shan.

"Brother Robinson, I have something I want to discuss with you. We should consult each other to avoid being set up."

"Oh? Brother Moriarty, you report everything to me now? That doesn't seem right."

Zhang Shan teased Moriarty.

"Sigh, brother, don't make sarcastic remarks here. The reason I called you about this is that it definitely concerns you, which is why I'm consulting you. If I decided on my own and something went wrong, and you ended up resenting me, what would I do then?"

"Hahaha, brother, I'm just joking. Tell me, what exactly is the matter?"

"It's like this, do you remember the butler who was with Victoria?"

"Hmm, I have a slight impression. What about it? Does this have to do with him?"

"Of course it does. If it didn't, why would I mention him?"

Moriarty really suspected that Zhang Shan's intelligence was offline today.

"Alright, alright, go ahead, go ahead."

"Today, that butler of Victoria's came to find me, offering his surrender and saying he wanted to find a job here. But I don't believe he would come to us so easily."

Moriarty voiced his doubts.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Zhang Shan still looked calm.

"Aiya, Brother Robinson, can you be a bit more urgent? Although this matter is small, don't always be so calm; it makes me look like something else."

Hearing Moriarty's words, Zhang Shan suddenly burst into laughter on the other end of the phone.

"Aiya, don't worry about these small details."

"I called you to ask what should be done about this matter? Should I kick him out, or let him stay here?"

Zhang Shan pondered for a moment and said,

"Let's do this: we will keep him and see what kind of mischief he wants to stir up. But don't put him in an important position; just let him be a handyman, and have someone watch him. Find out his original goal."

"That works too, then I will keep him."

In fact, Moriarty was still very worried. After all, this was a ticking time bomb; it would be bad if it exploded one day. However, since Zhang Shan had already said to keep him, then he would keep him. Anyway, the final consequences would be borne by Zhang Shan.
