Chapter 1325: Death of Old John
Inside the Brown Family's manor, the area was not only large enough, but also equipped with various luxurious facilities. Although it was night, the various lavish lights made it as bright as day.
John, wearing a white tuxedo, looked energetic despite his age and graying hair.
He stepped into the room of the Family head, Creston, and respectfully said, "Family head, everything is proceeding very smoothly according to your arrangements."
Creston stood by the window, holding a glass of red wine, and took a leisurely sip before asking, "What about the maximum-security prison? Is everything arranged there?"
"It's already arranged. Before Ye Bufan arrived, I had already sent the specially made poison over.
This medicine is specially formulated and specifically targets Eastern Martial Artists. As long as they drink it, they will lose all their power and have no resistance whatsoever."
"Well done, but that Ye is no ordinary person. You need to increase the dosage."
John gave a sinister smile: "Family head, please rest assured, I used ten times the amount for an ordinary Martial Artist. It's enough to make him as soft as a lump of dough."
"This is very good." Creston laughed heartily, then asked, "What about the Lawrence Family? Is there any movement from their side?"
"There is movement. After Ye Bufan was imprisoned, George started mobilizing his connections everywhere. Unfortunately, just as you said, it's no small matter that the Field Family lost a Young Master, and you, the Family head, are also here suppressing them.
No one dared to accept his request, and no one dared to release Ye Bufan.
Just a short while ago, he took people to the Field Family to negotiate with Orlando."
Creston took another sip of wine: "What was the result?"
"As per your instructions, Orlando first demanded all shares of Angel Pharmaceuticals, and then asked for 10 billion usd in compensation.
However, George did not agree and left the Field Family with his people, very angry."
"Hahaha, angry? He probably won't be angry in a few days." Creston said triumphantly, "I dare to assert that in less than three days, George will come to beg for peace with his people again. At that time, they will agree to these terms without hesitation."
"Family head, your divine foresight is unmatched. I heard there was a very powerful person in Huaxia named Zhuge Liang, but I think even he can't compare to you, Family head."
John was able to be highly valued in the Brown Family not only because this Old Man was capable, but also because he was very good at observing people's expressions. This flattery greatly pleased Creston.

Creston laughed heartily: "Alright, you've been busy all day, go back and rest. We'll have good news soon."
"Then I will take my leave, Family head. You should also rest early."
John exited the room and returned to his own room with a triumphant expression.
Everything today was carried out under his personal control. He believed that after the matter was settled, he would definitely receive a generous reward from the Family.
Although he was a servant of the Brown Family, his treatment was very generous, and he lived in a two-story building within the manor.
John closed his door while dreaming, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a Young man sitting on the sofa in the living room, currently crossing his legs and sipping a bottle of red wine from the table.
"Ye… Ye… Ye Bufan…"
After seeing the man's face clearly, John was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He never expected Ye Bufan to appear in his room.
"Help! Someone, quick, help!"
The Old Man yelled at the top of his lungs, but after yelling for a long time, there was no movement outside the room.
John was very surprised. One must know that the Brown Family's defenses were very strict, with security guards patrolling 24 hours a day.
Logically speaking, upon hearing his shouts, someone would immediately come to check, but the security guards outside remained completely silent.
Ye Bufan's face showed a playful smile. With the soundproofing barrier he had set up, let alone shouting a few times, even if the house was completely demolished, no sound would be heard outside.
Suddenly, he remembered a classic line from a famous Huaxia film and couldn't help but blurt out: "Scream, go ahead and scream, even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will pay attention to you."
However, he then shook his head. This line was usually said to a beautiful woman, but the person in front of him was clearly a rotten Old Man.
John yelled for a long time without any response, then turned to escape out of the room, but as soon as he turned around, he found Ye Bufan appearing before him like a ghost.
"Old Man, where are you going?"
Ye Bufan smiled at him playfully, then directly used the Soul Capture Technique.
"Tell me, what exactly happened at the club today?"
"This was all a trap set by the Family head, Creston. He has been watching you ever since you came to Apple City…"
John recounted the entire incident from beginning to end. It turned out that ever since Lu Banxia took over Angel Pharmaceuticals, the Brown Family had started to scheme, and they had also conducted a detailed investigation into Ye Bufan.

Even if Ye Bufan had not appeared at No. 1 Club today, the Brown Family would have implemented this plan through other means. Barkley was a pawn prepared to be sacrificed beforehand.
After killing Barkley, the Brown Family head would use his influence to annex Angel Pharmaceuticals. If Ye Bufan didn't run and was captured, they would use this as a threat to make him hand over his assets.
In short, this scheme was extremely vicious. Regardless of whether Ye Bufan resisted or complied, the final result was that Angel Pharmaceuticals would fall into the hands of the Brown Family.
The entire plan was directed by the Family head, Creston, and specifically implemented by John.
After clarifying everything and understanding the situation of the Brown Family, Ye Bufan lifted the Soul Capture Technique, then looked at John with murderous intent: "You're not young this year, are you?"
John realized something and immediately begged for mercy: "Mr. Ye, please spare me. This was all the Family head's idea, it has nothing to do with me…"
"At such an old age, you've done bad deeds your whole life. Now it's time to go find God and atone."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he extended a hand and twisted the Old Man's neck.
In another villa not far away, a middle-aged man in his forties was embracing a young model, engaging in the most primal of activities.
He was Charlton, Creston's eldest son and a very capable second-generation heir.
Just as he reached his peak, a piercing pain suddenly came from behind his body, and he then collapsed onto the bed.
The woman hadn't felt anything at first, but suddenly seeing the blood flowing from Charlton's mouth, she immediately let out a shrill scream.
"Help! Someone, quick, help!"
With her shrill screams, countless security guards immediately rushed in from outside.
After confirmation, it was found that Charlton was completely dead, with no chance of salvation.
Creston, who received the news, rushed over and immediately flew into a rage upon seeing the situation.
"What are you all doing? Hurry up and investigate for me! You must find the murderer."
The experts of the Brown Family immediately began a thorough investigation everywhere, almost turning the entire manor upside down, but apart from finding Old John's body, they found nothing else.
Additionally, a note was found in John's room, with a line of small English text written on it, "Apologize to Mr. Ye, earn his forgiveness, otherwise one person from your Family will die every day, until all are dead."
