Chapter 149
Francis dropped Carlisle off at school and returned to Riverwatch District to find Sunny.
With a military background, he was cautious and wouldn’t easily trust anyone. Of course, Carlisle was an exception, as he was currently relying on Carlisle for a living.
As the saying goes, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” Since Carlisle provided him with meals, he should dutifully help him with his tasks.
After analyzing the people around Carlisle over the past few days, Francis felt that the likelihood of Heath betraying Carlisle was slim.
Moreover, even if Heath had ulterior motives, Carlisle would only lose around 300 thousand dollars.
Sunny had a four million–dollar check; it was enough to open more than ten gaming studios–a sum an ordinary family wouldn’t earn in their entire lifetime..
People could be unpredictable, so he had to remain vigilant.
Francis called Sunny when he reached Riverwatch District.
However, an automated voice replied, “Sorry, the user you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again
later.
Francis‘ brows furrowed tightly. Could the worst–case scenario have happened? Did Sunny run off with the money? That was four million dollars!
He dialed the number again, but the phone seemed to have been switched off.
Francis narrowed his eyes as he lit a cigarette. After taking a few puffs, he dialed Carlisle’s number.
Carlisle was already in line on the drill ground. He was about to silence his phone when he saw Francis”
call coming in. “Francis…”
“Sunny is unreachable!” Francis‘ tone was grave.
Carlisle’s heart skipped a beat, and he furrowed his brows slightly. “Maybe his phone ran out of battery.
and has shut down?”
He trusted Heath because Heath became a prominent figure in his past life. Becoming the overlord of the underground forces in Riverland meant he had vision and ambition.
As for Sunny, he had relied entirely on intuition to trust him. Thinking back now, it did seem a bit rash.
But Carlisle still tried to think positively.
Francis said calmly, “The stand–by time for his PHS phone is at least seven days. Even if he were to make uninterrupted calls for 24 hours, it could last for two to three days.”
Carlisle chuckled. “Are you suggesting he ran off with the money?”
Francis was speechless. Wasn’t it obvious?

After a brief silence, Francis spoke again, “If we report it to the police now, we might be able to intercept
him before he leaves Riverland!”
Carlisle narrowed his eyes, his right hand gripping the phone tighter.
If Sunny had really run off with the money, he wouldn’t just lose four million dollars.
When the meeting concluded the next day, word would quickly spread to those developers.
Property prices in Riverwatch District would skyrocket, and property worth four million dollars could
easily be sold for at least 35 million dollars.
In other words, the loss incurred would be over 30 million dollars.
Sunny came from a single–parent family, with an ailing mother at home and a girlfriend studying at the
Cascade State University of Finance and Economics.
Carlisle didn’t believe Sunny would abandon his girlfriend and sick mother. When Carlisle was being
scolded, Sunny was the first to step up and defend him.
“Assemble! Everyone put your phones in the storage box!”
Lawrence held a storage box and began collecting phones from the first row.
Finally, Carlisle told Francis, “Let’s hold off on reporting to the police for now, I’ll discuss it after school.”
With that, he hung up the phone and placed it in the storage box.
There weren’t many phones in the box. Only around 30 out of over 100 students in two classes had phones.
Next up was the training program devised by Lawrence.
