---- Chapter 2723 Inside a small, unremarkable estate in Chetvina, Guillermo listened to the report in front of him with a calm expression. After a moment, he asked, "Anything else?" Lorenzo lowered his head in shame and said, "No, Mr. Vazquez. I was careless, and I never expected that brat to steal every bit of ''the work we did." Guillermo let out a smallugh and said, "I made my move and killed Quentin. In the end, I let Advanced Medical Institute''s top apprentice, Koda, take the fall. You could say it was wless, and no one could possibly find any evidence against me.
After all, the one who killed Quentin wasn''t me, but Koda." He asked, "Lorenzo, do you still remember what I told you was the first principle of being a strategist?" Lorenzo quickly responded, "I remember. The first principle of being a strategist is never to let yourself get directly involved. All methods involve utilizing external things and external people. Only by staying outside the game yourself and watching others fight it out can you maintain an invincible position forever." Guillermo nodded.
"Since you already know that, why did you make such a foolish mistake?" ---- Lorenzo was stunned and blushed. "I didn''t expect that little bastard would fake Koda''s death. In the end, he pulled the rug out from under me, came back, and seized the initiative. It was truly beyond my expectations." Guillermo chuckled. "By pulling this move, you could say you yed right into Andrew''s hands. That maneuver was beautiful, very sophisticated. It shows that besides raw strength, he''s also incredibly cunning.
But we won''t discuss all that..." He added, "The Lloyd royal family didn''t reach its position by being soft. Especially that father-and-son pair. But Lorenzo, since you knew staying out of the conflict was the key to staying undefeated... Then I''d like to ask why you were so eager to be the director of the Advanced Medical Institute?" He pressed on, "After Corbin died, you could have easily helped Lennox rise to power. All the risks would have been bore by that idiot.
Behind the scenes, you would have been Advanced Medical Institute''s supreme ruler, controlling himpletely in the shadows Wouldn''t that have been better? Why didn''t you follow my original n? The position of the Advanced Medical Institute''s director is utterly useless. Controlling Advanced Medical Institute''s resources should have been your goal, but you didn''t do that, did you?" ---- Faced with Guillermo''s series of questions, Lorenzo sighed.
He closed his eyes and said bitterly, "I hate Andrew, that little bastard, for being so cunning." Guillermo shook his head, still wearing a smile on his face. Then, his expression twisted, and he suddenly roared, "You are a fool!" His shout was so powerful and full of force that Lorenzo felt his mind go nk for a moment. He instinctively took a step back with terror on his face. Outside, Jose and several martial saint experts immediately burst in. "Mr. Vazquez, what happened?" Jose asked, his sharp eyes scanning the room. Guillermo''s face kept its fierce expression, yet he let out augh.
"Nothing. Go on, all of you. I want to have a good talk with my dear apprentice." Jose took one look at Lorenzo''s pale face, smirked, and then led everyone back out<style>
