394 Were There Really Existing Merpeople?

Charles did not speak. He was waiting until Luc took the initiative to say his request.

Luc apparently still found it difficult to mention. He spoke slowly about the current situation of the municipal government and the feelings of the families of the missing persons. He even choked several times.

Bella thought that Luc was not a person who simply cared about his position instead of the people's livelihood.

Luc said, "... Yesterday, an old couple took a barrel of petrol to spontaneously ignite in front of the government building. In fact, the spontaneous combustion is useless, even we save the people back, they cannot meet again. But I understand them. Their eldest son died early in a fire, and the old lady gave birth to a new child at the age of fifty. Now the child is twenty-two, and the old lady is over seventy years old. The child was their only concern, I know their grief, Nancy has gone, my wife still has not recovered yet..."

Maybe people were sensitive during pregnancy. When hearing this, Bella’s tears fell down naturally.

As a mother, how could she not understand her parents' thoughts? She snuggled in Charles’s and sobbed lightly. She could not imagine the mood when Bryant was taken away from her one night. She would be crazy, she must be crazy, she would be desperate to save him regardless of the cost of her life.

Like Luc, she understood the old couple's feeling.

Their experience and ability limited them to rely on the government for the hope of retrieving their children, for fear that the government would not pay enough attention, they would use death to threaten them.

Luc said, "I am not afraid of their death, I am more afraid that if their child comes back, but he can’t see his parents. More than a thousand people and nearly a thousand families..."

Luc even suddenly fell to his knees. He lowered his head and said with great shame, "In the name of being a father, in the name of ordinary people in Vancouver, I beg the lord to save those children..."

Considering the fighting capacity, Cather took away all young people, old people and children left behind, of course, he would like to take the children with him, but now time was limited, he could only take some strong ones.

This was Luc's dignity, at this moment he only represented himself, not the government, he couldn’t afford to lose the government's face, he could give up only his own face.

Charles was placating Bella, wiping tears and gently coaxing. Luc's kneeling surprised him.

Bella did not expect either, she immediately straightened up to pull Luc.

Charles was afraid that Bella would press her stomach when she stooped down. He could only help Luc stood up by himself. "A man has gold under his knee, gets up first to speak."

Luc, a seven-foot-old man, burst into tears. "What kind of man am I? I can’t even protect my daughter and my people..."

Bella looked at Luc's appearance, and her heart felt a little sour. She didn't expect that this incident hit Luc so hard that he began to doubt himself.

She sighed silently, looked at Charles and signaled him not to delay anymore.

Charles just rubbed her hair and shook his head slightly, suggesting that she should not be controlled by her mood.

Bella no longer spoke, but she began to doubt whether she had become a cruel person.

No one spoke in the living room, and the man's sobbing became abrupt.

Luc cried for a while and felt embarrassed when his mood calmed down. He took over the paper towel handed by Charles wiped his face and said embarrassingly, "Excuse me."

Men were different from women. Luc hadn't shed a tear since he saw Nancy's bones. Without children, he really had no sustenance. He focused all his gravity on his work.

He asked himself that he was conscientious of the people's livelihood, but this time he came up with the largest case of missing people in history.

He really couldn’t carry it anymore.

It was not that he couldn’t afford the bad performance on his political career, but that he saw more and more parents threatening with death, and that more and more middle-aged old people like him falling into the separation of their children.

He could not save his own children, nor could he save other people's children.

For the first time he felt himself so useless.

Very useless.

The feeling of powerlessness oppressed him, and finally let his mood collapse at this moment.

Charles finally opened his mouth. "If there is someplace that I can help you, just give orders. As long as it is within my power, I will try my best to do it."

Luc said, "I hope the lord can find out the murderer of this case by your own means. I believe the lord should know who the murderer is."

Charles looked at Luc with a grin. "Do you mean I did this?"

"No, no, no." Luc hurriedly said, "I just think it must be relevant to Earl."

"What do you mean?"

"Last time Earl ran away, we destroyed one of his strongholds," Luc said. “We now suspect that Earl took those people in revenge of the society.”

Luc could directly target Earl, it could be seen that his intuition was really sensitive, but...

Charles asked, "Since you have suspected Earl, why don’t you issue an arrest warrant?"

Luc shook his head. "A warrant for arrest requires at least one of the evidences, but now we have none of them. And it is even impossible that we just suspect him and bring him back for questioning. Because we can't find him anywhere.”

If they could find where Earl was, Charles would not have to wait until now.

Charles said, "I don't know where he is now neither."

Luc saw Charles didn’t tell the truth, and said with a bitter smile, "I know the lady’s E&B had some trouble. We can clarify this and pass the responsibility on to Charles. We should also compensate E&B some parts of the loss.”

Charles said, "It's not necessary to compensate. We don't lack this small money."

Luc was shocked, E&B closed the door for two weeks in four squares in the city, losing at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Charles even said it was small money.

It was true that rich people were quite different.

"When does the lord need the document, we can arrange it right away." Luc said eagerly.

"It's not urgent." Charles said, "When we need it, we still need to bother the mayor to cooperate."

"Of course." Luc immediately replied.

As long as more than 1,000 people could be retrieved, approving a document was just a small matter.

"Well." Charles got what he wanted and began to leak some information to Luc. "I don't know if the mayor still remembers that a picture of mermaid was spread on the Internet earlier?"

"Yeah, I don't know what the photograph has to do with the case?" Luc straightened up and asked formally.

Charles led him, "Does the mayor still remember why E&B Square was blocked from the outside world?"

"Because of the poisonous powder in E&B's clothes." Luc's brilliance flashed, but he was somewhat incredible. "Are there really existing merpeople in this world?"
