"If you don’t want to investigate this matter privately, you can gather some other evidence of Yamino’s crimes and give it to Benjamin. Benjamin will find a way to make a big deal out of it," Yuna said slowly.
"Alright, I know what to do!" Connor replied in a low voice.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. We can contact each other later," she said and hung up.
Connor hesitated for a moment, then used his own phone to call Queta. He instructed her to provide all the evidence she had on Yamino to Benjamin. While Queta’s evidence consisted of relatively minor offenses, it was enough to be the final straw that broke the camel’s back in the current situation.
After she handed over the evidence to Benjamin, it took less than a day for the media to expose all of Yamino’s wrongdoings.
The next morning, headlines like these appeared on major news websites.
"Famous Entrepreneur Yamino Under Investigation!"
"The Wealthiest Man in Yarlford, Yamino, Suspected of Matricide and Patricide, an Absolute Monster!"
"Gomez Family Empire Crumbles as Gomez Corporation’s Chairman Faces 23 Charges!"
This scandal involving Yamino became the hottest topic of the year. While Connor had made a name for himself in the world of martial arts, most ordinary people were unaware of his activities. In contrast, Yamino’s scandal was a real, shocking event happening right around them, so the public was deeply concerned.
The news spread like wildfire and quickly trended on social media platforms. Comments from the public flooded in.
"I can’t believe Yamino turned out to be this kind of person!"
"He’s even worse than an animal, killing his own father-in-law and wife just for power. What a monster!"
"I used to idolize Yamino. I never expected him to be involved in such a scandal!"
"I’ve been predicting it all along. Gomez Corporation was bound to collapse sooner or later!"
"That’s right, the momentum of the Stormbound Corporation is unstoppable. I think there must be a connection between this and Stormbound Corporation!"
"Yarlford might soon be under the control of Stormbound Corporation!"
Inside Yamino’s luxurious mansion, his son Juan was still unaware of the unfolding crisis. He had spent the previous night with his new girlfriend and hadn’t woken up yet.
Juan’s girlfriend woke up first and stretched lazily, revealing her attractive figure. She bore some resemblance to Aida, and Juan couldn’t forget her, even now.
She absentmindedly checked her phone, then opened a social media app.
However, at that moment, a news headline caught her attention. It contained the name "Yamino," so she immediately clicked on it.
A few minutes later, Juan’s girlfriend was in complete shock, her face filled with disbelief. She didn’t know how to react to the shocking news.
"Juan, wake up." She urgently pushed him.
"Stop bothering me," Juan replied, still half-asleep.
"No, Juan, something really serious has happened." She insisted.
Juan finally opened his eyes and saw the worried expression on his girlfriend’s face. He grabbed his phone, checked it, and saw numerous missed calls and messages, all about his father’s situation.
"What the hell... Where’s my phone?" He suddenly panicked.
"I don’t know," his girlfriend replied, fear in her eyes.
"Where’s my phone, damn it!" he shouted.
His girlfriend quickly found his phone, and Juan started going through the messages and news articles. His face turned pale as he read the allegations against his father.
"This can’t be real," he muttered to himself.
"Juan, what are you going to do?" his girlfriend asked, her voice trembling.
"What am I going to do? I need to go to the company and see what’s happening!" he replied, growing more frustrated.
As he hurried to get dressed and left the house, his girlfriend realized the gravity of the situation. She quickly began packing her belongings, knowing that she might be implicated if she stayed.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Yamino’s son, Juan, continued to make calls as he drove to the company headquarters. He tried to reach his father but received no answer. Frustration and panic gripped him.
"Damn it, why is everyone avoiding me when something like this happens?" he muttered angrily.
Finally, after half an hour, Juan arrived at the Gomez Corporation headquarters. However, when he entered the building, he was met with an eerie silence. The employees had mostly stayed home, afraid of being associated with the scandal. The once-bustling office now felt like a ghost town.
Desperate to find answers, Juan went straight to his father’s office. To his shock, the office was empty, and his father was nowhere to be found. He had never seen the company in such disarray.
"Uncle Copper, you’re still here?" Juan approached Copper, the vice president of the company.
"Juan, why are you here? You should leave immediately. The authorities are looking for you," Copper said, concern in his eyes.
