Dragon Lord Crane Smith

Chapter 66 Panicked Ashley

Eduard was also a smart man and guessed something.

Crane smiled and said, "The Smith family actually values these businesses, but whether or not they

can be done, so the one sent here is Aston, not a direct member of the Smith family."

"Indeed, it seems that the Smith family is worried that if this matter is revealed, they can take a servant

to cover their actions."

Eduard nodded in agreement.

Once this matter involved the Smith family's direct lineage, it would be worse, and perhaps the Smith

family would also be implicated at that time.

But Aston is different.

Even if he was given the surname, he was still just a servant after all, such a person was insignificant,

would be treated as an outcast.

"But the Smith family is bold to let Aston come against you."

Eduard burst out laughing.

What qualifications did a mere Aston have to fight against Crane?

Crane had gave a smile, "the Smith family's original intention was for Aston to get involved with the

Watson family’s market, dealing with me was merely Aston's own idea."

"Those Smith family people are stupid but they won't let a servant come against me, but it's good for

them at least they can probe me. Anyway, in their opinion Aston can be sacrificed and I'm in their

control."

At those words, Eduard's face changed slightly.

"No worry, the Smith family isn't so bad as to come against me now, after all, their power in the country

continues to decline and they are probably still fighting with those upper class gentry in Magic City right

now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sit back and do nothing to me."

Crane had always been very clear when he looked at the situation, and his judgment was even more

precise to an amazing degree.

Eduard didn't say more on the matter, but asked rhetorically, "So, do you want me to let Mr. Newman

know now?"

"Just let him know, so I don't want to get blamed."

"Huh."

Eduard let out a bitter laugh.

Anyone who dares to blame Crane is simply really unaware of what's going on.

Just as he was about to contact Ashley, the phone rang, and Eduard looked at it and couldn't help but

laugh, "I haven't even called yet, but Ashley contacted me first."

He picked up the phone, only to hear a panicked voice from the other side, "Director Moss, do me a

favor and help me track down the owner who lives on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors of the

Kingsang Building, would you?"

Ashley is really anxious and panic. He had come to the Kingsang Building, but the owner was not

there. Once remembering that is a man even John has to treat well, Ashley was so scared.

Eduard glanced at Crane sitting on the sofa as he continued the call, and said silently, "Mr. Smith is

right here with me, Alfie in your department sent him to me, saying that it was to convict Mr. Smith."

Ashley, "???"

Eduard, "Don't ask, hurry up and come, or else Mr. Smith will be gone again in a moment."

The person on the other end immediately hung up, not even taking the time to say thank you.

Crane smiled faintly and said, "It seems that John was aware of the situation."

"This is all the fault of that kid named Alfie, I'll deal with him."

Crane did not stop him.

Soon Ashley arrived at the main gate of the Safety Department, and at a glance, he saw Boyd and Alfie

who were talking.

The two men also saw Ashley, greeting him, " Mr. Newman, why are you here?"

Ignoring Boyd, Ashley stared directly at Alfie and asked angrily, "Did you send Mr. Smith to the Safety

Department and said you were going to convict him?"

"Mr. Smith, it's Mr. Smith again."

Boyd frowned.

Alfie, on the other hand, looked bewildered and said, "There was a man who caused trouble in our

Construction Department before, so I sent him there, but I'm not sure if his surname is Smith."

Although there was no affirmative reply, Ashley already knew it by heart, he pointed at Alfie, "If that Mr.

Smith blames you, you will stay in the Safety Department today and reflect on it!"

After all, it was the nephew of Boyd, and he could only say so, and he still had to see Mr. Smith's

attitude, and by the way, he had to beg for a favor to solve the misunderstanding.

After saying these words, Ashley ran in again in a hurry, and so did the others, including Boyd and

Alfie.

"What kind of person is that Mr. Smith, that he could actually inspire Mr. Newman to come to the Safety

Department?"

"I don't think it's the one you just sent in, that guy is just one of the Saunders' employees."

Alfie was a bit flustered, but on the contrary, Boyd looked calm.

He had checked Crane's identity, he was just a new junior employee of the Saunders, and he didn't

know what kind of sleight he had that he had been assigned to the Construction Department.

Only when Alfie heard that did he feel relieved.

"Uncle, I'll take you to meet that guy later, maybe he'll get down on his knees and beg for mercy right

away."

"Okay."

Boyd did not care, after all, Crane was just an insignificant person in his eyes. He was more concerned

about the fact that it was the office of the Director of the Safety Department that Ashley had just

entered, what was going on here?

He can't believe it had alerted two directors?

Unbeknownst to him, bad luck is tilting in his favor.

No, to be precise, the jinx had long been tilted in his favor, they just didn't know it yet.

Ashley barged straight into Eduard's office and was about to ask something, his eye holes snapped

shut.

Crane Smith!

From Ministry of War of War!

"Mr. Smith."

Ashley swallowed his saliva and was to go forward, but Crane stopped him and smiled, "I'm not from

the Ministry of War now but an employee of the Saunders, you can just call me Crane."

"......"

Ashley froze and glanced at Eduard, only to find Eduard sipping his tea in a leisure manner.

"Isn't this Mr. Smith Finley Saunders's backer, so how did he become an employee of the Saunders?"

He became more and more confused.

Just then, Crane spoke again, "Just now I got a news that someone from your Construction

Department reported that the Saunders had stolen the Scott's urban village design and directly ordered

to stop the work and investigate the matter, is that true?"

"I don't know."

Ashley grew more and more confused.

He approved the day before to let the Saunders take the project, how all of a sudden it came up the

theft of trade secrets? Besides, even if it is theft, it should not stop work to investigate it.

There are only two ways to go about this commercial crime, one is to temporarily stop part of the work

but continue largely and be investigated at the same time, the other is to stop the work for investigation,

so there is no such thing as stopping work and investigating.

But after seeing Crane's somewhat teasing smile, Ashley suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Smith, wait a minute, one of the people in charge of this urban village construction project is at the

door, do I need to call him in?"

"Boyd? Sure."

Crane's smile intensified.

Ashley's heart stuttered.

This matter seemed to be a little serious than he had previously thought.
