Chapter 690 The Absolute Comeback
“He is hiding something,” Stella reminded him. “He colluded with someone from A Country. They planned everything before deciding on your appointment, so he was one of the first to know that you died from the blast. Therefore, the person from A Country deliberately revealed the list to him to make an arrest. Their real purpose is to kill you.”
Bellamy’s eyes turned cold after listening to Stella’s analysis. His gaze was filled with murderous intent. “Tell me, who is behind this matter?”
Habib stood up. “What are you talking about?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Jasper, be careful. He is preparing his escape,” Stella reminded.
As soon as she said that, Habib quickly opened the cabinet behind him to get inside it. However, Bellamy was faster. He jumped over the table and pulled him back, throwing him onto the sofa.
“Why are you running?” Bellamy asked coldly, pointing his pistol right at him.
Habib immediately raised his hands and said, “If you kill me, you won’t be able to leave too.”
Bellamy smiled, “If I could enter without being noticed, then I would be able to leave the same way too. The rest of the world thinks that Bellamy has died on the plane. They won’t even know how you died.”
Habib was afraid. His fearful eyes were locked on Bellamy as he asked, “What on earth do you want?”
“I’ll tell you a few things that you want to hear. For instance, I know your relationship with the wife of the President and I have photos of it. I also know the secrets between you and the President of a cosmetics company, as well as the things between you and the President of C Country. I believe that not only will the President of your country give you a hard time when he hears that, but even the people of B Country will not let you go so easily,” Bellamy said coldly.
Habib grew paler with each sentence that left Bellamy’s mouth. The guard he had put up was shattered easily.
“I didn’t want to kill you. It was not my idea at all.”
“Whose idea was it then?” Bellamy raised his voice.
“The President of your country told me to arrest several people and let them go when the time is right. I only did the arresting. Everything else has nothing to do with me. He promised me that he would support me to be in becoming the next President as long as I did these,” Habib admitted.
Bellamy stared at him murderously, “Then how did you know that I was blown up?”
“He was the one who told me that. He told me to arrange our meeting today, and that he has already tampered with your flight. That’s how I knew that you were dead,” he said as he looked directly at Bellamy.
“Jasper, ask him how Sean had contacted him. I think that he is lying,” Stella fixed her focus on Habib.
Bellamy gritted his teeth, and his voice turned sharper. “How did Sean contact you?”
“We communicated through the phone.”
“He’s lying. What makes him believe that the caller was the President of A Country?” Stella asked.
“Don’t play tricks with me,” Bellamy warned as he pointed the gun at his head. “You are not a child. I don’t believe that a Secretary of External Affairs would simply believe that the other party is the President just because of a phone call.”
The Secretary of External Affairs shivered and he looked at Bellamy in fear, “We have a video.”
“How old is the other party?” Stella asked.
“How old is he?” Bellamy asked.
“Around 30 years old.”
Stella laughed cynically. She told Bellamy, “Would a capable government official leave a video recording for the other party to threaten him? Sean is not that stupid. If he continues to lie, he will surely regret it.”
“It seems that you’re still reluctant to tell the truth. Okay, you could tell your president the truth then,” Bellamy picked up his phone.
“Alright, alright. I’ll talk,” Habib gave in helplessly. “Quinn is the one who asked me to do this.”
“Quinn?” Bellamy was still suspicious. “What evidence do you have?”
Habib took out his mobile phone and pulled up a video. He passed it to Bellamy, “Quinn and I made an agreement. I would help him become the next President. Once he assumes office, he will then help me become the next President here. I was worried that he would not keep his words, so I got someone to record it.”
“Does Quinn know that you have this video?” Bellamy continued to ask.
“Yes, he has my video too. This forces us to look after each other’s backs. We will oppose those who are not loyal to us,” Habib finally revealed everything.
Bellamy clicked on the video and checked the timestamp. It was the day he personally told Quinn that he was going to pursue Stella.
“Call him now and ask him when you can let those people go. Tell him that you are under a lot of pressure,” Bellamy passed the phone to Habib.
Habib followed his orders and gave Quinn a call.
The phone rang a few times before Quinn picked it up.
“What is it?” Quinn asked.
“You have already blasted Bellamy to death, right?” He asked.
“My people watched him get on the plane. There is no chance for him to survive that. Why?” Quinn seemed rather impatient.
“I’m under a lot of pressure here. Should we release the two hostages first?” He asked.
“Hold on for two more days. I will negotiate with you in F Country again. I will have dinner with their President tonight, and I will return to my country once we come to an agreement. When the time comes, we will put pressure on your side. All you have to do is let them go.”
“Don’t forget, you promised me that you will help me be the President too when you become the President in A Country,” Habib reminded.
“Of course. Don’t worry,” With that, Quinn hung up the phone.
Habib looked at Bellamy and said, “I am not lying to you this time.”
“I need the video on your phone,” Bellamy said coldly.
Clutching the phone tightly, Habib said, “No, if this video is revealed, I will be finished too.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Bellamy told him plainly. “The evidence I already have will be your downfall.”
The Secretary of External Affairs gave it a thought. It was true, he was finished either way.
“I will only give you the video if you could give me a way out,” Habib said, trying to negotiate with him.
“Quinn is definitely done for this time. The people in F Country will definitely expose him even if I don’t take action. Once he is exposed, do you think that he will betray you?”
The Secretary of External Affairs became even more nervous, “What should I do then?”
“You should leave right now before you’re exposed. Otherwise, you won’t even have a chance to leave,” Bellamy advised. He snatched the phone from him and glanced at him. “What’s the password?”
“I’ll verify it through my fingerprint,” Habib said. “Since you came unnoticed, surely you could take me away too, right?”
