After being exorcised by the Sea of ​​Shimmer team, the basement has been restored to "cleanness", and people in the newspaper office have gradually settled down.

Although the shadow of Levi's tragic death still lingers in people's hearts, the newspaper office has basically resumed normal operation.

From an operational point of view, after experiencing this ominous incident, the "Lighthouse Evening News" just stopped publishing for one issue, and it seems that the impact is relatively small.

However, only Sean and Norton knew that this incident happened during the advertising bombing period, and the negative news that spread like wildfire eventually offset the advertising effect of the last two days, so that the daily sales of the Evening News remained at 36,000 copies were ordered.

Sean's original plan to join the 50,000-day sales club was shattered.

Whether it was intentional or by luck, the date Bill framed him was too cleverly chosen.

Although it is still not to the extent of seriously hurting his vitality, it will definitely slow down Xiao En's expansion progress.

This is what angered Sean the most. Therefore, he has strengthened his determination to implement reciprocal revenge.

Therefore, he temporarily put down the internal affairs of the newspaper, handed over the full management of the operation to Norton, and began to devote himself to the work with Bill.

Norton's ability is outstanding in the entire New Testament newspaper industry. Sean knew that even if he let it go for a while, he could still create good results.

However, the investigation against Bill has encountered certain challenges.

After the incident at the Brooklyn Bridge subway station, perhaps out of guilty conscience, the two bodyguards of the Mystery Explorers beside Bill, Sleepless Midnight and Holy Night Executioner, obviously stepped up their defenses.

For Sean, the best way to find out about Bill's contacts and recent goals is to wiretap.

However, although the birds arranged by Ivan stayed near Bill, although they were far enough away that they would not be discovered by the two explorers, they had no chance to monitor anyway—they used the ectoplasm to set them up every time. The anti-eavesdropping specifications have reached the level of dignitaries.

So at the beginning, Sean and the others could only collect some peripheral information that pointed to unknown points.

When the investigation encountered difficulties, it was Moonlight who solved the problem.

As a well-known musician in New York City, he let himself "accidentally" be able to perform piano performances at the weekly parties that Bill hosted in his mansion.

His excellent piano skills won the applause of the guests and added luster to the host's face, so he was favored by Bill, which gave him the opportunity to get in close contact.

After attending Bill's parties twice, Moonlight has been able to stand beside Bill as a "guest of honor" with a champagne glass, interacting with some "socialites".

During this tormenting occasion for Moonlight, the pianist learned a lot of useful information.

First, and to everyone's surprise at Sean, there wasn't really anyone at the top of Bill's "Long Island party."

The people who came here were all people above the middle class, or "upstarts" who had no background, and fame-seekers who were no longer in the center of the stage but were still keen on this kind of social place...

The real predators seem to disdain this occasion.

Disdain for "Long Island Bill's Party".

This detail seems small, but it outlines Bill's social status to a certain extent—

He's a millionaire and has a reputation for hospitality...

But it doesn't seem to be accepted by those real dignitaries.

Although it is more or less sympathetic to the flashy bubbles and play around Bill, it also reveals a very important thing: the possibility of offending the forces behind him by punishing Bill has been minimized.

At least from the current point of view, Bill is a "bachelor", an "upstart" who failed to squeeze into the real upper class, a man who has made a lot of money...

"Poor people".

This situation also seems to explain Bill's behavior pattern.

Why is he so greedy and wants to earn every penny...

Why does he have to spend huge sums of money to hold parties at his home every week...

He knows what he has and what he lacks, and he's trying to make up for that lack using what he thinks is right.

It is undeniable that his efforts have played a role. At least, the name "Long Island Bill" once bluffed Xiao En, who was "inexperienced".

On the other hand, Moonlight also learned a very important message.

Bill has repeatedly expressed his admiration for a woman in social situations recently.

Holding a glass of wine, he bluntly said to the guests and friends: The reason why such parties are held repeatedly is actually just to wait for the lady's patronage.

That lady is the well-known philanthropist in the New Testament—Ms. Taro.

Sean's eyes widened slightly when he heard the news.

He suddenly remembered the scene he had seen.

It was in Daisy's office, and the news on the television was broadcasting Ms. Talo's charity work.

At that time, Bill's eyes were fixed on the screen, on the widow of the rich man.

Slightly narrowed eyes, as if seeing prey.

He really wants to "pursue" Ms. Tarot?

Like an electric current passing through a circuit, Sean felt that he suddenly understood Bill's intentions.

No matter how hard he tried, this "upstart" who couldn't squeeze into the upper class, planned to change his mind to become the husband of a famous wife in order to be reborn.

In this way, not only will he have the possibility to obtain the property that is even more amazing than what he owns, but he will also obtain the status he has dreamed of...

Even though it is conceivable that he will have to bear all kinds of criticism, it is estimated that he has already weighed it.

Tarot is the real dignitary. As someone in the news industry, Sean knew that a reporter had photographed her going to and out of the legendary "Cloud Top Cocktail Party"—a rumor in the market, that reception controlled the lifeblood of the entire New York and even half of Newlander, where Newlander was displayed. The territory of Seoul is like a capital empire made of steel. Another giant hand besides theocracy.

To get close and capture her heart is Bill's plan to elevate his social status.

In addition to these, Sean also learned about Bill's recent progress:

He seemed to have invited Ms. Taro to the party a long time ago, but the other party declined for various reasons.

The reason must be very simple. On the one hand, although Bill is far from being notorious, it may be difficult for a single woman who values ​​her reputation to persuade herself to attend such a tumultuous social occasion.

Because the topic that arises is probably not what a person like Taluo expects.

On the other hand, I'm afraid it still has something to do with Bill's status.

More recently, though, the Long Island upstart has clinged to a man central to the plan—Mr. Eric Donald, owner of The Donald Brewery.

Almost everyone knows that the late Mr. Taro had great kindness to Donald, and he was one of Mr. Taro's most loyal friends during his lifetime.

After his death, this gentleman who already had a family has been meticulously protecting and taking care of Mrs. Tarrow.

Being on good terms with him meant that it was no longer impossible to invite Ms. Taro to the party.

Besides, Bill knew that Taro, who had always been devoted to charity, had been appealing for donations on various occasions.

Bill seems to have made it clear to Donald that he wants to support Tarot's philanthropy—even hosting a charity-themed fundraiser at the Long Island mansion...  

So it seems that ~lightnovelpub.net~ Bill will soon realize his first step in his plan—meeting Ms. Taro.

Based on this information, Sean can be considered to have found the "subject matter" for equal revenge.

For Sean Dickinson, his career was the Evening Beacon.

As for Bill, his "career" is apparently hooking up with the wealthy widow...

Since Bill was doing harm to his own career, sabotaging Bill's plan to establish a relationship with Ms. Taro was obviously the most appropriate revenge.

Of course, the result Sean pursued was not just to make Bill fail.

What's more, he wants to make him so cold that he runs away in a hurry when he sees the name "Sean Dickinson".

So, according to this purpose, Sean formulated a countermeasure plan.

However, what he didn't expect was that on the night when the plan was implemented, he would reunite with a person he hadn't seen for a long time.
