Chapter 795 - 509: New Hall Rules [09] The Show Is Just Beginning (Part 2)
Sign the name and you can leave!
And you can also get a large sum of money!
That way Rosie Sullivan won’t keep playing that annoying Sin broadcast, right?!
After signing the name, Agent Loughton held up the new hall regulations, looked around without finding the hidden cameras, and had to shout towards the direction of the broadcast, "I’ve already signed! Can that damn broadcast stop today?!"
Rosie Sullivan kept an eye on the monitors, paying attention to each elder’s condition. Seeing Agent Loughton’s rather frantic state through the surveillance, she clicked her tongue lightly.
—Master Scott just wants you dead, how could it go as you’d wish?
Besides, someone who harms fellow members deserves no pity.
Rosie Sullivan ignored him.
Agent Loughton called several times in the living room but didn’t hear anything from the broadcast. He gradually grew anxious and nervous, occasionally glancing at the briefcase on the table, considering the possibility of taking the briefcase and leaving now.
His unusual behavior also drew the attention of the other elders, causing much confusion and dissatisfaction.
"Agent Loughton, stop shouting. After hearing so many things, do you still think you can get away unscathed?"
"Trying to extract yourself at this point? Dream on."
"So anxious, have you done too many unspeakable things? Or, are your unspeakable dealings related to some of the elders here?"
...
The several elders are all shrewd people, noticing the clue at this point comes as no surprise.
An attempt to be clever that backfired.
Agent Loughton broke out in cold sweat as he listened.
At this moment, Rosie Sullivan, who received a message from Nora Scott, finally spoke up, "The daily chat is a regular program, unless all the elders sign and leave together. If Agent Loughton doesn’t want to listen, you can go to the second floor, I can take you out of the villa early."
All the elders signing means they can leave early...
!!!
Elder Zhang is the only one left!
"Elder Zhang! Elder Zhang!"
Seeing a savior, Agent Loughton directly ran to Elder Zhang, advising, "Elder Zhang, you don’t want your little secrets to be exposed to the public, right? Just sign your name now, and we can leave together, how about that?!"
Elder Zhang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then slowly lowered them without speaking.
Seeing his lack of response, Agent Loughton panicked and continued persuading, "Elder Zhang! You’ll be forced to sign eventually, so what’s the point of being stubborn?!"
Elder Zhang coldly looked at him and spoke articulately, "I, Zhang, have lived a life of integrity, never done anything shameful."
His words made Agent Loughton’s face stiffen.
The other elders knew Elder Zhang’s character and that his words had some credibility. Moreover, Agent Loughton’s panic only made them suspicious of his motives.
So they all gathered around.
"Agent Loughton, are you hiding something?"
"Now only Elder Zhang is left. As long as he signs before noon tomorrow, this meeting will be over."
"Agent Loughton, you seem very guilty, don’t you?"
...
The elders, who seemed like walking corpses moments ago, now all converged on Agent Loughton.
They had all been publicly punished one by one; why should Agent Loughton get away with tricks and Escape?
After all, everyone had been caught on something (except Elder Zhang), if only Agent Loughton escaped, how could that win over the people?
Several elders decided to go for broke - they’d all be manipulated by Nora Scott anyway, but they also held each other’s weaknesses. If Agent Loughton, knowing their weaknesses, escaped alone, how could they stand by and watch?!
They had to hold something over Agent Loughton!
Agent Loughton, cornered and speechless, felt utterly trapped. Realizing the magnitude of life and death, he didn’t care anymore and turned to shout at Amy and Barton Mansfield, "I want to leave!"
Upon witnessing this, the elders grew even more suspicious.
—Insisting on leaving knowing the broadcast is inevitable, it’s not just fearing exposure of crimes, but... avoiding them?!
—Just what guilty thing has he done?!
In light of this, an elder directly tried to stop him by force, but within a few moves, Agent Loughton managed to Escape.
Agent Loughton, barely over fifty, once served in Biel Hall’s action team, possessing skills unrivaled by any elder (including proxies) - even in his fifties, his abilities remained formidable. These elders were no match for him.
None of them succeeded in stopping him, indeed unable to subdue Agent Loughton.
Amy Mansfield and Barton Mansfield intervened just in time to stop the other elders from further entanglement, then Amy promptly took Agent Loughton straight to the second floor.
