“What did you say?! Something has happened to my father?! Is that true?!”


    Hector, lost in thought about his father’s death, was taken aback by the words he just heard. His excitement was palpable, and it seeped into his voice as he spoke.


    On the other end of the line, Ricardo sounded puzzled. “Hector, are you awake? I mean, something’s happened to your father. Why do you sound so cheerful?”


    Hector shook off his daze, realizing he had let his emotions get the best of him. He quickly corrected himself, saying, “I’m really not dreaming. I just had this dream that the Americans had released my father, and it made me so happy…”


    Then, he swiftly continued, “Uncle Ricardo, you mentioned something happened to my father. What’s going on?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ricardo replied urgently, “I sent you a video. You need to watch it!”


    Without hesitation, Hector ended the call and opened the video. When he heard his father recounting how he had nearly been killed that day, fear gripped him, almost making him lose control.


    He had always believed that Joseph hadn’t yet found a chance to act against him, but now he realized that Joseph had already made a move—and it had failed.


    Fortunately, his father was asking for help in the video, which indicated that he was unaware of his son’s intent to kill him. This revtion brought a small sense of relief to Hector.


    It appeared that while Joseph’s attempt had failed, he hadn’t exposed Hector’s ns.


    But now, Hector found himself at a crossroads: what should he do next?


    Should he keep looking for opportunities to eliminate his father?


    Or should he feign ignorance about the entire situation?


    Just as Hector wrestled with his options, his military advisor and most trusted confidant called him.<fne75d> Chapters first released on find·novel</fne75d>


    As soon as the call connected, Hector asked, “Jose, did you see the video?!”


    Jose responded quickly from the other end, “Boss, I just finished watching it, which is why I called you right away. Have you seen it too?”


    “Yes, I have…” Hector replied anxiously. “What do you think I should do now? Should I continue trying to eliminate my father, or should I just y dumb?”


    Jose then asked, “Putting aside the risks, what would you prefer?”


    Without hesitation, Hector replied, “I definitely lean towards getting rid of him. Otherwise, he’ll always be a significant threat! What if he discovers the truth one day, or if the Americans decide to set him free? What then?”
