Chapter 900 Do You Admit All of Them Without beating around the bush, Ivan studied the teacup in his hand and watched the steam with tea fragrance.
"As his backer, don't you feel frustrated?" he chuckled.
His words sent a chill down Clarence's spine. Clarence replied with a smile, "Mr. Marsh, I'm sorry, but | can't quite follow you." Ivan stared at him leisurely. "No. You can follow me." He gazed at Clarence intensely and expressionlessly.
Clarence looked into his eyes. Time seemed to pause.

Clarence gulped down the tea, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Opposite him, Ivan sat elegantly. He darted at Clarence aloofly. "Leslie Eastwood didn't cover his criminal traces.
All the families damaged by drugs can press charges against him." Clarence refilled his teacup, listening to him in silence.
"With your protection, no one could have won against him in the lawsuits. Therefore, he became increasingly wanton," Ivan drawled.
"Mayor Saunders, do you know how many families he has destroyed by drug smuggling?" Gazing at Clarence solemnly, Ivan uttered a number, "36, 800." Clarence dodged his gaze in guilt, having no guts to look into his eyes. Sipping the tea, he listened quietly.
"Not to mention evading taxes. How much tax should he pay back?" Ivan leaned against the back of the couch. "Besides, you know clearly how much evaded tax has been sent to you." Clarence's mind was jumbled. He could only repeatedly sip the tea.
"Leslie Eastwood murdered 18 people, 15 of whom are relevant to you," Ivan added bluntly. "Do you admit it?" Clarence paused slightly, pretending to be calm. "Mr. Marsh, murder is a crime as high as Heaven. Without enough evidence, please stop making wild guesses." "I mentioned it because | had enough evidence," Ivan retorted icily.
Their gazes met in mid-air again. Clarence looked stiff, a trace of panic hidden in his eyes.
From the exact numbers, he could tell van had his criminal evidence for real.

"Over the years, Leslie Eastwood bribed you nearly 100 million dollars. In addition to your corruption and bribery from other channels, the government officials in Arkpool City have become increasingly corrupt. You never let any penny skip from your pocket. Do you admit it?" Clarence lost his calmness, realizing Ivan had checked every detail of his deeds.
He wondered what Ivan didn't know.
"You have 38 villas and almost 100 luxury cars in your name," Ivan continued, "How many of them are from Leslie Eastwood?" Clarence's heart sank again, his eyes dark.
"Mr. Marsh, when did you start suspecting me?" He had to admit his crimes.
With his legs crossed, Ivan answered, "In the recent two months, I've noticed Leslie Eastwood became too wanton. He was about to be sent to jail several times, but he has finally been bailed out." "Therefore, | believed there must be a powerful force behind him." Clarence was clever. "You are determined to cut off evildoers, right? You won't let go of me, will you?" "You should know I only believe in righteousness and justice." Ivan emanated an icy, decisive aura. "It has nothing to do with my friendship with Mya. If you were my father, | would also let the law punish you after knowing your evil deeds." Clarence nodded with mixed feelings. He asked, "You've pulled in the net to capture Leslie. When will you send me to jail?" "After your daughter's wedding," Ivan answered.
Clarence looked at him gratefully. "My biggest wish is to watch Mya marry her beloved man. If | can't watch her get married, | won't have another chance to attend her wedding." He knew he had done too many evil deeds and would be sentenced to death probably.
If lucky, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment.
