Chapter 481: Chapter 481
Salvatore really wanted to kill Joy.
Strangely, Joy was very calm at this moment. "Mr. Salvatore, Professor Xander said that if you bring me back to Rosemont City, he will meet us and tell you everything you want to know."
As she spoke, she quietly tightened her grip on the miniature remote control in her hand.
If she was really shot in the head by Salvatore, the mini remote control in her hand would automatically activate because of the rapid changes in her body temperature, pulse, and so on. In just a few seconds, it would detonate the special bomb hidden in her. The size of this bomb was very small, but its power was not small. It was enough to blow everything within 50 square feet into pieces.
Joy did not care if Salvatore was a god or a demon.
Even if she couldn’t escape, she would drag whoever wanted to kill her down with her.
Salvatore stared at her gloomily for a moment before revealing a cruel smile. "Alright, I’ll take you to Rosemont City and see Professor Xander."
He looked at Charles. "Find them immediately. No matter what method you use, kill every one of the Carter family! Leave no one alive!"
Charles hesitated for two seconds before saying in a low voice, "Mr. Salvatore, the Carter family’s identity is extraordinary. Osceiton isn’t our territory. The risk of attacking the Carter family is too high..."
"You can’t even do that?" Salvatore was expressionless. "If you can’t do that, you won’t be the successor of the Rose family
anymore."
Charles’s heart skipped a beat, and he said respectfully, "I know what to do. I’ll make the arrangements immediately."
Salvatore looked back at Joy’s face again. He was as cold-blooded as a venomous snake. "Aren’t your biological parents from the Carter family? How about this? If you can kill your parents or siblings with your own hands, I’ll let you off. Not only that, but I’ll immediately put you in charge of the Council of Elders. You’ll take over the affairs in Zolin."
Joy’s eyes lit up, but she did not say anything.
Salvatore put away the pistol. "Let’s go to Rosemont City immediately. Show me what you can do, Joy."
At this point, he revealed a mocking smile. "Don’t tell me you want to return to the Carter family after seeing that they have become rich."
Joy did not speak.
Salvatore sneered. "You won’t have the chance to do that.
"The only condition for your survival is to kill your biological parents or siblings."
"Also, you betrayed the Carter family at such a young age and almost destroyed them. Do you think that they will sincerely let you in?"
"Even if they’re still willing to let you in, you’re just a stray dog. You can’t survive anymore, so you can go back like a coward and beg the Carter family to provide you with food. You’ll be forever despised."
Joy remained silent.
At the end, Salvatore said, Either the Carter family dies, or you die. There’s no other option." Then, he turned around and boarded the plane.
Three days later, Salvatore secretly arrived at Rosemont City in the name of treating illnesses and prepared to receive Dr. Annie’s treatment.
In fact, he did need treatment.
In recent years, he often had headaches. Sometimes, he would have temporary amnesia and could not remember anything. Sometimes, his memory would be chaotic, and his temper would become more and more irritable. The doctors were shocked to find signs of corruption in his brain after examining Salvatore.
These doctors could not understand why a person could still live like an ordinary person when his brain had already begun
to rot.
However, they knew that if this continued, Salvatore would die of brain decay sooner or later.
The Rose family finally contacted Dr. Annie.
Dr. Annie indicated that she was willing to take care of the patient.
In addition, Dr. Annie was currently in Rosemont City, so the Rose family had sent Salvatore there.
At the same time, the CEO of the Ross Group also arrived at Rosemont City to discuss the investment with the local government. The total investment amount was as high as billions of dollars, attracting the attention of the entire city. Behind the scenes, the agents and assassins hired by the Rose family had blended in Rosemont City, tailing and sniping the Carter family separately.
On the third day after Salvatore arrived at Rosemont City, Dr. Annie officially performed a craniotomy on him.
Before entering the operating theater, Salvatore stared at Joy gloomily. "I hope that when I open my eyes again, I will receive good news from you." The duration of the surgery and the anesthesia was not short.
Joy smiled. "Okay."
Salvatore was brought into the operating theater.
The door of the operating theater closed.
Joy sat outside the operating theater. She wore earplugs and unlocked her phone.
There was a recording Avery sent to her a few days ago.
The recording was a few paragraphs spoken by the Carter family people to Avery.
Claire said, "If you can, Avery, you must tell Zilvia that her dad and I will always love her until death and are waiting for her to come back." Jaden said, "By the way, tell her that it doesn’t matter if Zilvia wants to be with us or not. The important thing is that she will always be our sister"
Cade said, "Zilvia is alive and well. I have no regrets in this life."
Fiona said, "I haven’t given the balloon I bought to Zilvia yet..."
This was the second time Joy had listened to this recording.
After listening, she closed her eyes and deleted the recording.
She had already told Avery that the Rose family wanted to kill the Carter family. If Avery and Alexander could not protect the Carter family, there was nothing Joy could do.
Twelve hours later, the door of the operating theater opened.
Salvatore was brought out of the operating theater.
Charles and the others went up to him. "How’s Mr. Salvatore doing?"
Wearing a mask, Dr. Annie said indifferently, "I removed the corruption in his brain and implanted a chip in his brain. This chip will assist him in thinking to some degree. He won’t have any more headaches in the future, and his memory won’t be messed up again. His health won’t be affected by this surgery. As for the rest, I’m not sure."
Charles secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "That?! you, Dr. Annie."
Dr. Annie nodded and left without saying anything else.
Salvatore was taken into the VIP ward and continued to be asleep.
The instrument showed that his vital signs were very stable.
Charles stayed by the hospital bed and kept checking his phone.
There was still no news of the various teams that had been sent to assassinate the Carter family.
According to the deployment, if the assassination was successful or there was a problem with the assassination process, the action team would contact Charles.
No news meant that the assassination was still ongoing.
The Carter family had yet to be killed or captured.
Charles thought, "There’s no problem with the operation. So, what’s happening now?’
Charles looked at the calm Joy with a hint of worry in his eyes.
He knew that if the assassination failed, or if the action team captured the Carter family and handed them over to Joy for execution, Joy would definitely die if she couldn’t do it.
