After listening, Cao Kun and Sophia couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Of the three, the most naive was actually Galle.
Sofia: "I have a question. Why would Evey be interested in an old man like Charles Bolton? Isn't Galle younger and more handsome than him?"
Cao Kun: "Because she's no longer a woman who only cares about looks."
Galle is younger and more handsome, but Charles Bolton is older, which is actually an advantage.
Sofia, puzzled, looked Charles Bolton up and down, who had a blank expression on his face: "Where is the advantage?"
Cao Kun: "This guy is so fat and looks terrible. He must have a lot of underlying health conditions. He probably has high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and so on."
At that time, Evelyn only needs to tamper with his medicine a little, and he will die without anyone knowing.
In this way, Evelyn could inherit the fortunes of three people all by herself.
Old Charles is getting on in years and his health isn't what it used to be; he might not be able to outmaneuver Eve.
Sofia sighed, "It seems Eve is the most ruthless."
Cao Kun: "The complexity of this matter is enough to write a script and make a suspense movie."
Sofia's eyes lit up: "Aren't you a producer? You can give it a try, I'll invest."
"Forget it, the risk is too great." Cao Kun shook his head and refused.
Sofia only mentioned it casually and didn't insist on it further.
They obtained all the evidence without much effort.
Not only is it simpler and less strenuous, but more importantly, it saves a lot of time.
Sophia once again felt the power of the mysterious force.
The complex emotions in her eyes as she looked at Cao Kun had increased even more.
…………
The Potter family bombing caused a great sensation.
The local town's police station certainly couldn't handle this kind of case.
In addition to the Porter family's influence, California sent state troopers directly to the scene.
Meanwhile, the federal government also dispatched the FBI to jointly investigate the case.
However, no sooner had they arrived than Sofia handed over the murderer and the entire chain of evidence.
The FBI and state police who arrived were completely dumbfounded.
They confirmed this repeatedly, and interrogated the three suspects repeatedly, before finally confirming that this was not a hoax.
All of this is actually true.
The FBI and state police were even more baffled: how could such a complex case be solved in such a short time?
They asked Sofia, and she simply said it was all luck.
Seeing the shocked looks on the two sides, Sophia felt a secret sense of satisfaction, and at the same time, she became even more certain of her thoughts.
Although the FBI and state police found the whole process of the case somewhat unbelievable and even a little unreal.
Faced with an irrefutable chain of evidence, they had no choice but to accept the fact and take the three suspects away.
Thus, the truth of the matter has been revealed and the case has been solved.
Of course, the injured still need to receive further treatment and some compensation.
The bad news is that Sofia will continue to spend a lot of money.
The good news is that this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean compared to their family's wealth.
That evening at dinner, Cao Kun received a check for $12.5 million from Sophia.
Cao Kun smiled as he took the check.
This trip was very rewarding.
They received $15.6 million in cash alone.
Furthermore, the experience points he gained from Mary Shaw enabled him to break through to the Evil Core realm, entering a completely new level.
The Record of Heavenly Arrays offers a glimpse into the ways of heaven and earth.
At the same time, further enhance his strength.
In short, it was a very rewarding trip.
Cao Kun put away the check: "Your business is almost done. I'll be going back tomorrow. Please arrange a car for me."
Sofia: "No need, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Cao Kun: "You think you can get away?"
Sofia: "I have to leave. I need to receive the inheritance and stabilize the company's operations."
"You can leave this to Old Master Os."
Cao Kun: "With so much inheritance in your family, you must have to pay a huge inheritance tax, right?"
Inheritance taxes in Western countries are shockingly high.
The highest can reach around 50%.
The federal and state governments combined will take half of it.
Moreover, you have to pay taxes first.
Every year, many people are unable to inherit property because they cannot afford the inheritance tax, and ultimately have to give it up.
In movies and TV shows, there's often a poor young man who inherits a distant relative's fortune and is exposed overnight.
This kind of thing can only fool idiots, but don't believe it.
Sofia laughed and said, "How could we be so stupid as to pay so much tax?"
My father had already set up various charitable trusts to avoid taxes.
I estimate that paying 5% in inheritance tax would be a lot.
Cao Kun nodded. This was a classic case of "the higher-ups have policies, the lower-downs have countermeasures."
The federal government wants to make money off the wealthy, but the wealthy naturally have various ways to circumvent it.
The most typical and useful method is to do charity.
Do you really think Westerners like doing charity? It's all for tax avoidance.
For example, the famous stock market guru Warren Buffett has publicly stated that he will donate all his wealth after his death.
But, damn it, it was donated to his own charitable foundation.
So who manages the foundation?
Of course, they are his children.
Despite the donations, the money still ended up in the hands of his own family.
The same methods were used at Sofia's house.
Around 10 p.m.
Cao Kun sat cross-legged on the bed, performing his routine cultivation.
Although the evil energy here is far less than that of places where evil gathers.
However, this place also belongs to country M.
As long as it's within the territory of country M, the evil influence won't be too bad.
It did provide some assistance to Cao Kun's cultivation.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open without any knocking.
Sophia Porter walked in naked, went straight to Cao Kun's bedside, and looked at him with a defiant gaze: "If you were a man, you would have slept with me tonight."
Cao Kun is no clay idol; he was not tempted or provoked in this way.
He pulled Sophia straight down and pressed her onto the bed.
After a long, long time, the room finally returned to calm.
Sophia hugged Cao Kun and was about to speak when Cao Kun said, "I can't marry you. If you want to say that, you can shut up."
Sofia was taken aback: "What exactly am I lacking?"
Cao Kun: "I've already told you, that's not the reason."
Sophia: "Why is that?"
Cao Kun: "I will never get married in my life."
Sofia: "So you're a jerk."
Seeing that Cao Kun was about to get angry, she added, "You don't take the initiative, you don't refuse, you don't take responsibility, you just want to keep sleeping with him. What else is that but a scumbag?"
"Say what you will." Cao Kun patted Sophia on the shoulder. "You can leave now."
Sophia didn't leave. Her eyes darted around. "You don't have to marry me. I'll start a cult. You can be the leader, and I'll be the saintess."
The saintess slept with the priest, and the priest taught the saintess his skills—that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Cao Kun looked at him strangely: "You're a real genius, you can even think of something like this."
Sofia: "I'm not kidding, I've even thought of a name for the sect."
Cao Kun asked curiously, "What's your name?"
Sofia: "I love Kun religion."
Cao Kun: "Damn it."
