Chapter 4179
At midnight, a team of reporters from CNN and the New York Times arrived at the Fox family's manor overnight to conduct an exclusive interview with Xavion.
In the exclusive interview, Xavion detailed the entire story and he kept praising his son, Homer, in front of the media.
He said emotionally, "Homer is young but he has always been very mature, low-key, upright, honest, humble, and kind. He can be considered a very outstanding young talent."NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"You might not know this but just before Homer was kidnapped, he was hosting a charity dinner that he had initiated and organized by himself. This charity dinner was not revealed to the public because of his low profile. Unexpectedly, it was also this charity dinner which gave the kidnappers the opportunity to kidnap him just a few minutes before he was supposed to give a speech on stage."
The reporters couldn't help but ask," Excuse me, may I ask what this charity dinner initiated by your son is about?"
"It's to help orphans," Xavion explained. " Homer is young but he has always been concerned about the growth and education of orphans. So, he spent tens of millions of US dollars to collaborate with the New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce to set up a charitable foundation, specializing in aiding orphans."
When the reporters heard that Homer was ready to put in tens of millions of US dollars to charity, they were all filled with admiration for him.
At this time, Xavion also pleaded very emotionally in the interview, "If the people who kidnapped Homer can see this interview, then as a father, I would like to beg you to stop hurting Homer. The ransom of two hundred billion US dollars in indeed too unrealistic but the Fox family is willing to pay two billion US dollars for the ransom. I only ask that you let Homer come home safely. He is still young and he has a long future ahead of him. Let him come home so that he can continue to make a lot of contributions to this society!' The interview was quickly posted by the two media outlets on television media and online platforms overnight, which instantly ignited public opinion.
When everyone saw Xavion's pained statement in the interview, all of them felt very sympathetic towards this middleaged man. Their sympathy for Homer also flooded in when they heard that he was actually such an outstanding young talent.
The netizens then spontaneously launched a campaign to support Homer on the internet and more than hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic netizens even came to the White House to petition for the White House to step in and rescue Homer. This stirred things up immediately.
At the New York Police Department, Merlin was worried after reading the media reports.
Now, the whole world knew that Homer had been kidnapped in New York and that his two ears had been cut off. However, the delay in finding the kidnappers and Homer hasz increased the pressure on the entire New York Police Department.
As a well-known Oskian police detective, Merlin was even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.
Unfortunately, there were really no valuable clues left at the scene. So far, though all the police officers had rushed out to look in the latter part of the night, they could not find
where the garbage truck had gone.
If they could not even find a car, it would be even more difficult for them to find a person.
Just when he was at a loss, a phone call came in.
When he saw the words on the screen of his cell phone, he hesitated for a moment but he still answered the call as he sneered, "Why? You can't help but ridicule me after seeing the media report?"
A man over the other end of the line smiled and said, "If you, an Oskian detective, were to stumble first, I'd definitely be the first to ridicule you but how could I ridicule you when you're standing at the edge of the cliff now?"
The person who was speaking was Charlie's eldest uncle, Christian, who was kicked out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill in Aurous Hill a few days ago.
At this time, Christian said again, "You should still be at the police station now, right?"
"Yes." Merlin laughed at himself and said," After such a big incident, I'm afraid that I'll have to live at the police station for the next few days."
Christian smiled faintly and said, "It seems as though my guess was right. I'm downstairs now. I'll come up now if it's convenient for you." Merlin was surprised and he had wanted to ask something. However, he held it back and hurriedly said, "I'll get someone to pick you up!"
