Chapter 514 Beating Around the Bush
Kingsley's expression was as calm as ever, but his attention was focused on Cedric's answer.
He was expecting to find out who had bought the explosives and blown up the Nicholson Family
Cemetery from Cedric.
As expected, Cedric wasn't aware of Kingsley's motives at all. He only chuckled and stated, "That's
right. At first, I thought I wouldn't find any buyers in Qustia. It's a surprise to make two big deals within
just one month."
Kingsley took a sip of his tea and feigned worry. "Is the other buyer also from an underworld gang? I
need to be prepared if it's my enemy who got the explosives."
After that, his gaze shifted to Cedric. "Mr. Field, since we are friends, can you tell me something about
them?"
Laughing, Cedric commented, "Don't worry, Mr. Nicholson. Even though the man was giving off such a
vibe during our meeting, I assure you that he isn't related to the underworld."

"Because the man was wearing an expensive suit. I could tell he's a successful entrepreneur from his
appearance."
Cedric cast a look at Emmett, who was standing next to him, before saying, "Campbell here told me
that. He knows all the luxury brands."
Emmett nodded. "Yes. The man was wearing expensive stuff from head to toe. Ordinary gang
members can't afford such luxuries. However, we can't rule out the possibility that he's a figure of a
higher rank in the underworld. His demeanor indeed showed a hint of ruthlessness."
Kingsley was lost in his thoughts after hearing their words.
A man that gives off a hint of ruthlessness and looks like a successful businessman at the same time.
Only Jonah of the Lawson Family fits the description.
The Lawson Family has a strong connection with the underworld. Furthermore, Jonah also has a
history of violent crime.
It was Mason who discovered Jonah's potential and made an exception to recruit him into the Minor
Corporation back then.
After the Lawson Group had taken over the Minor Corporation, the real estate company and
construction firm owned by them were thriving.
Without a doubt, Jonah is a successful businessman.
Judging from what Cedric and Emmett said, Jonah is the top suspect in the Nicholson Family Cemetery
explosion!
The idea made Kingsley frown.
Back then, he got in touch with Peter right after the explosion.
However, Peter told him that Jonah had no hand in the business of Codrington Construction.
Besides, Jonah had a business trip in Diosna during the explosion.
The timing is a little off. How could Jonah blow up my family cemetery if he was in another place at that
time?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt gave Kingsley a headache when he tried to sort things out, so he could only pry for more information.
"Mr. Field, are you sure he isn't an underworld member? I feel something's off. Do you know who he
really is?"
"Him?" The request put Cedric in a dilemma. "But Mr. Nicholson, it's our responsibility to protect our
customers' privacy. Besides, he truly didn't want us to find out his identity. He was wearing a mask
when we met."
At that moment, Emmett chimed in, "His attitude was as sincere as you, Mr. Nicholson. Even though
we were staying in Diosna during that time, he was willing to make a trip there and meet us in person."
He was telling the truth. A while ago, Cedric and Emmett were laying low in an abandoned village in
South Nakson of Diosna.
Kingsley's operation to rescue Serena in that area involved two legions.
The sight of the legions startled Cedric and Emmett, and they immediately fled the place and returned
to Cleapolis.
Even though Kingsley had no idea about that, their words made waves in his mind as new information
overwhelmed him.
