Chapter 840 Strategizing

Arthur was not anxious but just stared at Spencer, who was distraught, without making a sound.

Suspiciousness was one of the common problems of many schemers, and Spencer can't escape it naturally.

Seeing that Arthur was calm and relaxed, it seemed that he was really sure that he would die if the news was spread. Spencer himself began to lose his composure, and he quickly calculated in his mind that Arthur and Dan didn't have much contact and had no even basic conversations. Why did he infer so confidently that he would not take orders from him? Could it be that Dan had a personal relation with him a long time ago, and even... he might be his?!

Spencer's eyes flickered frequently. Arthur knew he had won and spoke again,

"You can try, but I advise you to be aware of your current situation and stop dreaming about power and wealth. How to save your life is your primary concern and the only condition you can exchange from me." Spencer unconsciously pursed his lips several times, saying that he would issue an order, but his hands did not move. He just stared at Arthur, and said for a while,

"I can suspend the order, but I want you to tell me, is there a private deal between you and Dan?!"

"No comment then." Arthur immediately declined to answer the question.

Casper on the side raised his brows, thinking that Arthur was not a simple person. Before, he was guessing how he would mediate with Spencer, but he didn't expect him to use the information he had told him as a way to sow discord!

The more Arthur said this, the more suspicious Spencer became, and he couldn't help thinking back to Dan's actions all the way. First he stopped him from hurting Lucia, and then delayed time, and finally persuaded himto take the risk of negotiating. So he could be alone with Lucia now!

When he was thinking of this, Spencer's heart was on fire, and he couldn't calm down anymore. He must immediately confirm Dan's sincerity to him! "Arthur, I think you're just bluffing." Although Spencer was flustered, he didn't panic to the point of irrationality. He pretended to be calm and sneered, "If you're really that sure, why don't you just ask Dan to let Lucia go but keep talking nonsense to me?"

"You'd have to ask Dan that question." Arthur responded indifferently, with ambiguous words.

Sure enough, the next second, Spencer frowned even deeper. He gritted his teeth and kept weighing and calculating. Finally, he could only say helplessly,

"Arthur, I want to go back and discuss with Dan. If you send someone to follow me, I can assure you that your speed of saving her is definitely not as fast as my gun!"

"You can do whatever you want." Arthur was indifferent, and even turned slightly sideways to make way for Spencer immediately.

Spencer stared suspiciously at Arthur for a few seconds. Although he couldn't believe that he was so straightforward, the most important thing right now was to go back and question Dan as soon as possible. Much better to be in control than to leave her alone with Dan!

Spencer left the conference room in full view, and Arthur really ordered the venue to be cleared, ordering everyone not to follow Spencer. His actions immediately aroused doubts from Helena and others who didn't know the truth.

"Arthur! What the hell are you thinking? Why did you let Spencer go so easily?!" Helena took the brunt of the blow, walked up to Arthur, stared at him and questioned him.

Although Otis believed deeply in Arthur, he couldn't immediately understand his intentions, and looked at him with the same doubt.

"Hold your horses. You'll just wait and see." Arthur said succinctly, not wanting to explain what he was using.

Among the people present, perhaps only Casper and Nia understood Arthur's intentions, but Arthur didn't want to explain, and they naturally wouldn't talk too much. But they had to say that Arthur's move was too risky. If he was even remotely wrong about Spencer's pattern, Lucia could be in real danger.

"You want us to wait. How could we..." Arthur's words obviously couldn't quell everyone's doubts. Helena wanted to question again, but was stopped by Otis before finishing speaking.

Otis watched the crowd speak up for Arthur, and he said,

"Trust Arthur. He cares more about Lucia's safety than anyone else, and there is a reason for him to do so."

Edwin, who had been silent all this time, also said,

"Arthur, I believe in you."

Hearing what Otis and Edwin said, everyone could only suppress their anxiety and look at Arthur. Reynolds, who was careful, noticed that there was a slight cold sweat on Arthur's forehead, and then he realized that Arthur was not really calm and breezy. All the pressure was on his shoulders!

Everyone looked at Arthur, and Arthur looked at the direction where Spencer was leaving, without any wavering in his eyes.

It was a gamble of last resort. If he won, he will regain the love of his life. If he lost, he will go with her!

Following the way he came, Spencer kept looking around while walking, and after realizing that Arthur really didn't send anyone to follow him, he walked faster.

Back in the dark computer room, Spencer pushed open the heavy door and looked at the two faintly visible in the corner with a sullen face.

"Sir, how's the talk going?" Dan stood up and asked Spencer as soon as he saw him.

Spencer kept silent, first glanced at Lucia who didn't move, and then walked towards them slowly, asking seemingly unintentionally as he walked,

"You don't seem worried that Arthur will hold me down." owns this.

"We have Lucia in our hands. Of course I don't have to worry..." Dan noticed something wrong in Spencer's tone, and replied slowly.

Spencer snorted, noncommittal.

Dan frowned and asked again,

"Did the negotiations come to an end?"

"Arthur said the only thing I could ask for is a way out for myself, and he wouldn't say anything else," Spencer said as he secretly watched Lucia and Dan's reactions, and continued, "Where do you think he got this confidence, or does he not care about you anymore, Lucia?"

Spencer's verbal provocation couldn't irritate Lucia at all, but after hearing what he said, Lucia still quietly opened her eyes, and a pair of bright pupils stared at Spencer for a moment. But Dan was quite surprised. Arthur's reaction was obviously beyond his expectation, and he quickly asked,

"How is it possible? Can he really disregard her safety?"

After a sneer, Spencer locked his eyes on Lucia, and said word by word,

"So I came back with an excuse. Lucia is useless to me now. I decided to get rid of her first!"
