Te Er Must Die!

At Onassis's mansion, Ricky was frantically dealing with the questioning from the family's senior officials.

The video of the battle Gu Ding and Te Er was deliberately brought out by some media outlets, but their focus was not on Gu Ding's fighting ability, but on the words Te Er said when he was being interrogated by Liliath —his name is Ricky Onassis.

The fact that the heads of the top ten richest families have business dealings with someone as notorious as Te Er is undoubtedly a perfect piece of gossip to be sensationalized, and it can also generate all sorts of other topics.

For example: Do any other families have dealings with Te Er? Have these so-called socialites had any dirty deals with other, more notorious people, and what kind of deals were they?

This incident not only affected the Onassis Family, but also caused several other families to keep a low profile, fearing that some of their previous shady dealings would be exposed by the media.

Because of this incident, many of Ricky's collections have been questioned by the media, with some even directly asking him how many of his collections were obtained through similar shady means.

Hundreds of media outlets kept calling Ricky's contact number, as well as the contact numbers of other high-ranking Onassis Family, which was what enraged them. Although he was the nominal head of the family, he had actually been in power for less than two years. Major decisions were made by his father and some family elders, and he only played the role of announcing the results.

"Master, Gu Ding and Liliath haven't done anything unusual. They've been shopping all afternoon. They probably know we have a large number of people here and don't intend to cause any trouble." The butler approached him and whispered, "Also, the old master just called my communicator. He said your line was constantly busy. He sounded very angry, and he also asked me to pass on a message to you—no matter what method you use, you must resolve this matter. Otherwise, the next family meeting will be your last day as head of the family."

Upon hearing this, Ricky picked up the communicator, ready to dial his father's number, but was stopped by the butler.

"Master, it's no use. You'll only make the old master more unhappy." The butler knew the personality of every member of the Onassis Family very well. "No matter how you explain it, the old master won't listen."

"What should I do?" Ricky knew that what the butler said was true.

"Focus on resolving this matter and don't think about anything else." The butler remained calm, as this matter had little to do with him, and he could completely stay out of it.

"My mind is a complete mess right now. Tell me what to do, Butler. I know I should have listened to you from the start and not dealt with someone like Te Er, but things have come to this point, and I really need your help." Ricky held his head, looking somewhat helpless.

"To end this conversation, we need to address the root of the problem," Butler said after a moment's silence.

"You mean to kill Te Er and Gu Ding?"

"Te Er must die!" Butler said without blinking. "However, we can't touch Gu Ding and Liliath. Gu Ding is a pharmacist with the Medicine God Alliance behind him; killing him will only escalate the situation. They are the ones the Federal Government needs to worry about, not us. Besides, they're just two kids who haven't even grown up yet; there's no need to worry about what they might do. On the other hand, it's Te Er. You've cooperated with him more than once or twice. If this is exposed, you might lose not only your position as head of the family, but also the Onassis name. Only if he dies will this matter be kept quiet."

"But if we take down Te Er now, the media will easily assume it was us." Ricky frowned; he felt Butler's suggestion was somewhat risky.

"What we need to do isn't to kill Te Er, but to make Te Er die." Butler's lips curled up slightly. "Didn't he just have a big battle with Gu Ding? People who have had a big battle are prone to internal bleeding and the like. Besides, I happen to know a forensic pathologist who does autopsies. You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me. I'm sure tomorrow morning the news will be titled 'Interstellar Hunter Te Er Dies from Internal Bleeding After Defeat'."

"Even so, some media outlets will still suspect us, right? Te Er has definitely already injected himself with Cellular Repair Agent, so the possibility of internal bleeding is very low. Besides, even ordinary civilian Smart Watch will display an abnormality if they detect it, reminding the host to seek medical attention as soon as possible." Ricky still felt that this method had loopholes.

"His watch may have been damaged in the fight with Gu Ding, causing it to malfunction." Butler still smiled. "If the internal injuries are severe, the Cellular Repair Agent may not be able to repair them all at once. Besides, he is a guy who likes to overeat, so the probability of internal bleeding is much higher than that of ordinary people."

"Don't worry, I'll handle this flawlessly. What the media says isn't important. As long as they have no evidence, we'll firmly deny it." Butler's expression was calm, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he'd dealt with something like this.

As Night Falls, Liliath and Gu Ding finally ended their day of shopping spree at the mall.

"I want to eat that restaurant's lamb chops again, what do you think?" Liliath put the leather bag she had just bought into her Storage Space and looked up at Gu Ding to ask.

"That's what I think too," Gu Ding. His tastes were similar to Liliath's, and he also thought the lamb chops at the tavern at noon were indeed very good. "I think we should find a chef as soon as possible."

"I have one requirement: the lamb chops must be at least this standard." Liliath nodded in agreement.

"Agree!"

"I protest! Are you two bullying me, a member who has no sense of taste?" Sea Emperor's voice rang in their ears, but his protest was completely ignored.

When the two arrived at the tavern, it was almost full, but the waiter was very welcoming to Gu Ding and Liliath because they had helped him get back the money Te Er owed him for the meal, and had also made Te Er compensate for the damaged tables and chairs in the tavern.

Led by the waiter, the two quickly found a seat and ordered lamb chops when Sea Emperor's voice came over. "Te Er collapsed and died by the roadside after finishing dinner. The forensic doctor performed an autopsy on the spot, and the results showed that he suffered internal bleeding due to an old injury. His watch was deliberately damaged and could not monitor his condition."

"Ricky is quick on the uptake," Liliath knew what was going on without even thinking.

"To be able to easily kill Te Er, it must have been that butler who did it, right? Eighth Order Gene Body is actually this powerful!" Gu Ding frowned slightly.

"They won't lay a hand on you two," Sea Emperor already knew what had happened in the mansion. "In their words, you two little brats aren't capable of causing any trouble."

"I hope they still think that way tomorrow," Gu Ding grinned as he saw the waiter approaching with lamb chops.

(Thanks to S Yuexia Swordsman S's classmate for the reward~~Touch my head~ I'd better publish a group account. I always felt that the number of words was small, and there were not many readers. I guess not many people would join the group account. But the collection has been growing every day in the past few days, and it is almost 10,000. It can be said that friends who like this book really don't want to join. Less. Everyone is welcome to join the group to chat. Group number: 96640 (the group name is rather arrogant, called "Billionaire Group No. 1". I originally wanted to call it "Everyone is a rewarded criminal", but I think it is too simplistic, and the harmony has become serious recently. Calling that name will probably lead to police investigation...)
