The Wolf of Los Angeles

The warehouse full of costumes and props seemed a little messy. Hawk and Edward followed Campos, passed through it and came to the secret basement entrance.

Fiona is staying here.

Hawke nodded to her and walked down the stairs.

All three of them took out their black hood and put it on their heads.

Campos said: "At present, I, Juan and Fiona know people are here."

Edward said as he walked, “This place is hidden enough.”

Campos said: "Juan used to be a porter here. The warehouse was originally a studio in Hollywood that does rental business. Later, the studio went bankrupt and the boss and his wife took sleeping pills together. The warehouse expired and auctioned last month. I bought the place.”

He turned the corner of the stairs and said, "The sound insulation here is excellent, even if you play heavy metal rock, you can't hear it."

Hawke praised: "It was done well and thoughtfully."

The three of them went downstairs and entered a basement of more than 20 square meters.

In the corner of the basement, there is a heavy metal cage, about five square meters.

Melissa Ackerman, the billionaire daughter, is huddling in a corner of the cage.

Her face swollen, and the wound from the forehead to the earlobe had already scabbed, because she had not dealt with it much, and she would inevitably leave ugly scars.

Melissa looked to the entrance when she heard the footsteps.

Three men wearing hoodies appeared.

Judging from the body shape, one of them seemed to be the leader that night.

Melissa walked forward two steps, grabbed the iron bars on the cage with both hands, and said, "What do you want? Money? Or me?"

She was fainted in Mexico and didn't even know where she was now. The woman who came to deliver food and medicine before also spoke Spanish and seemed to be unable to understand English.

Melissa didn't panic: "Give me a phone number, a bank account, and you will receive $5 million immediately."

Hawke said in an East Coast accent: "We don't lack money."

Melissa recalled carefully, without the voice in her memory, and said, "If you want, just tell me."

"You have always controlled the film companies and charitable foundations for Buck, and you have many secrets, telling some secrets, and the people involved."

Melissa's face remained unchanged, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Are you Sean's person?"

Hawke was a little surprised to hear the other party's guess. He knew the name of Sean, and Melissa's younger brother was Sean Ackerman.

There is a sharp contradiction between this sibling? Otherwise, Melissa wouldn't say that.

Hawke didn't answer.

Melissa thought this was a default: "You can tell Sean that even if I had an accident, the Ackerman family's property would not be passed to him, and his enemies were never mine."

Hawke understood as soon as he heard it, the traditional drama of the rich family and the battle for legacy.

He thought for a while and said, "You have hope to survive without saying that you will die."

"If you kill me, you will die." Melissa stared at Hawke coldly: "Don't forget, I am a member of the Ackerman family, Sean's sister, I have an accident, the family needs a murderer. To calm the anger, you are the most suitable person.”

This makes sense, but unfortunately Hawke has never seen Sean Ackerman.

After waking up from being locked up here, Melissa has been thinking about the attack.

It happened so suddenly. After a half day at Rosario, she was attacked by a group of elite militants holding heavy firepower. The other party seemed to have grasped her whereabouts and caught her without much effort.

If the messenger behind the scenes was Sean, everything would make sense.

Just like she bought people around Sean, there must be someone around her who was bribed by Sean.

Hawke said at this time, "The scapegoat can be found anytime, anywhere."

"Shawn can give it to you, I can double it... ten times." Melissa thinks that money can completely solve the problem: "Shawn can send you to deal with this matter, I guess you are close to you, yes He knew something about his situation. My father didn't like Sean. Even without me, he would leave the shares to the entire family and entrust professional institutions to manage it, rather than to a fool."

Hawke knew the truth that too much would lead to mistakes, so he simply stopped saying more, because Melissa's words revealed a lot of useful news.

Melissa saw Hawke silent and said again: "I am the first heir to the Ackerman family. The promises I made and the things I gave you are not comparable to Sean."

Hawke's eyes fell on the scar on her face just right.

"Don't worry." Melissa seemed to have insight into what Hawke was thinking: "Beverly has the best plastic surgeon in the world. This scar that hurts the skin is easy to remove, but it's a matter of spending money. That's it."

Too much is not enough, Hawke's eyes fell: "Let's go."

He took the lead and Campos and Edward followed.

Melissa said again, "If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about your subordinates?"

Hawke paused.

Edward cooperated with him and turned to look at Melissa.

Hawke continued to walk forward and walked down the steps and left the basement.

Seeing the figure disappear, Melissa stepped back and sat on the ground.

She still looked calm, and she still maintained her confidence even though the scars on her face were scary.

Faced with the predicament, Melissa did not panic and used the greatest capital to rescue herself.

Looking back on what happened just now, especially the other party's performance, she was sure that the other party must have listened. As long as you listen, it will take root and sprout.

Hawke and the other two came up from below.

Campos reminded Fiona that he had found someone to be the warehouse administrator here and asked her to hold on for a few more days.

Yero's sister is deaf and mute, and she can't understand English. She is also strong and has no problem guarding the warehouse.

Feed more food every few days.

As long as a person cannot die.

Edward said: "Boss, this woman treats us as Sean Ackerman's people."

Campos also heard it: "It seems that the internal battles of the Ackerman family are very strong."

"Buddy Ackerman almost died last year and survived after an organ transplant." Hawke said as he walked out: "The Ackerman family has more than $2 billion in assets, and it seems that they all want to be the first heir. ”

Edward had learned about the public information of the Ackerman family a long time ago, reminding him: "Melissa and Sean are not the same mother."

Hawke nodded: "From Melissa's words, it can be seen that the siblings are fighting fiercely."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Campos agreed: "The first reaction she saw us was that we were sent by her brother."

Hawke had previously investigated the Ackerman Charity Foundation and the Ackerman family and had never received any information about a sibling fight.

It is obvious that these may only be circulating within the Ackerman family, and between the top levels of the foundation.

People with low positions cannot reach them at all.

Hawke told Campos: "Get as much as possible about Sean Ackerman's situation and always pay attention to the actions of the foundation."

Campos answered, “Yes.”

The three of them came to the warehouse door. Before leaving, Hawke said, "Let me come to Twitter to do news transactions. I will transfer the reward this time. You can send the bonus as soon as possible and don't default."

The money promised will not be less.

Campos said: "As soon as the money arrives, I will transfer it to everyone who participates in the action."

Hawke said nothing more, got on Cadillac and asked Edward to drive away directly.

On the way, Edward said, "I don't know how many people's blood have been taken away by this Ackerman family."

Hawke did not find any reason or excuse, and there was a private hatred between him and the Ackerman family.

All he did when he came to Los Angeles was to climb to the top of the mountain to see more scenery, and to destroy the family.

You want my life, and I want your life too.

Edward's words continued: "This Mexico operation is very successful."

"The only shame is that Barack Bernan was not caught," Hawke said.

Even though he is as slow as Edward, he can see now that there is a big problem between Hawk and the Ackerman family.

He asked tentatively: "Boss, our ultimate goal?"

Hawke glanced at the driver's seat and said directly: "I have a personal grudge with the Ackerman family, and I will never stop."

Edward had nothing else to do, and he had no choice but to say loyalty: "Boss, your enemy is my enemy, and I and the Ackerman family will never end up dead."

Hawke only reminded him: "Be careful when you are usually safe. As long as we survive the Ackerman family, we will be a rich man in the future."

"Haha..." Edward laughed and even imagined the future: "By then, I will find a divorced woman with a daughter of 18 years old."

In this regard, he is ambitious enough: "A few years ago, I read gossip media reports that Angelina Jolie snatched her mother's boyfriend when she was 16 years old. I also want to try it out. The taste of it."

Hawke discovered that compared with the savior, he is really a conservative.

But Erica's girlfriend was chosen by him on his own initiative, and there was nothing to regret.

Back at the company, Hawke looked at the time, called Erica and said, "I'm done with work here, I can get off work normally at night and go to Silver Lake Community."

Erica was very happy: "I can get off work normally today."

Hawke finished the work at hand and left the company and went to Yinhu Community before it was time to get off work.

When Erica came back, the two of them started working together and made supper.

While having dinner, Erica asked, “Do you have time this weekend?”

When Hawke heard this, he knew she had something to do and replied, "Of course there is time."

Erica said directly, "My parents want to invite you to visit on weekends." She thought for a while and said, "There are no other people in the family, only four of us."

This step is about to leave sooner or later, Hawke said with a smile, "Okay."

Erica breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the pull mode: "Actually, they have said it several times, and I have pushed it."

Hawke also pulled: "Don't have confidence in me?"

"I'm afraid you will refuse." Erica completely relaxed and said stubbornly: "The main reason is that you're a little busy lately."

Hawke asked, "We'll go out for a walk after dinner and buy some gifts."

Erica thought more comprehensively than he thought: "I'm ready." (End of this chapter)
