As soon as Charlie finished speaking, John Garrett and the others began to visibly shake! They couldn’tprehend the level of cruelty exhibited by the man before them, who seemed intent on torturing them using African hyenas. Was he even human? How could anyone be so merciless?


    Unable to contain himself any longer, one of the group burst into tears, eximing, “I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”


    It didn’t take long for the other two to join in, hurriedly saying, “I will tell too!”


    Charlie nodded in satisfaction, saying, “Good, you three are wise. I’ll give you a moment to share your stories.”


    After he spoke, he turned to John Garrett with a sneer, remarking, “It seems your resolve is quite strong. I wonder if African hyenas would have any trouble chewing through your bones.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie chuckled to himself after finishing his statement. “Oh, my memory! I forgot that African hyenas don’t actually chew bones. They prefer to find a weakness in their prey, exploit it, and then attack that vulnerable spot. Surviving after that is entirely up to you.”


    John Garrett’s face turned ashen, and he quickly pleaded, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Please, just show mercy!”


    Charlie merely sneered, activated his phone for video recording, and said, “Alright, let’s start with your introduction. Then, tell me who sent you to do this.”


    Holding back his pain, John Garrett began, “I am John Garrett. I work for the Eastcliff Banks family as the personal bodyguard captain for Lord Banks. I’ve been by his side for nearly twenty years. Lord Banks personally ordered me toe to Aurous Hill to assassinate his eldest daughter-inw, Deana, who is Zayne’s wife.”


    Charlie probed further, “Why does that old dog, Lord Banks, want Deana dead?”


    As questions raced through John Garrett’s mind—wondering about the background of this man who openly disrespected Lord Banks and seemed unafraid of the consequences—his doubts were quickly suppressed. He dared not show any disobedience to Charlie. Thus, he exined, “Lord Banks is very displeased with Deana. He believes she is on the verge of divorcing Zayne due to infidelity.”


    “What makes it worse is that Deana hase to Aurous Hill to honor Bruce from the Wade family and even participated in an auction to bid on the old house where Bruce lived. Lord Banks feels that Deana has severely tarnished the reputation of the Banks family, leaving them in disgrace. This prompted his decision to take action.”


    Charlie inquired again, “What was Lord Banks’ n for this whole situation?”


    John Garrett quickly responded, “Lord Banks intended to replicate the infamous assassination of Princess Diana by staging a car ident to kill Deana. To execute this, I contacted Tate Landry and arranged for him to create a scene where he appeared to be pursued. Then, I was instructed by Lord Banks to set up a fatal car ident in the tunnel, which would result in both Tate Landry and Deana’s deaths.”<fn049c> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find?novel</fn049c>


    Charlie scoffed, “Oh? So, in order to eliminate Deana, this old dog, Lord Banks, actually ordered Tate Landry to strap on explosives and take hundreds of people hostage?!”
