Chapter 101: Acquaintance
Just then, Lane handed him a pre-prepared contract and a check.
"Professor Anderson! This is the contract and fee for our Boss's hire this time! Please take a look, and if there are no issues, you can sign!"
Trevor looked at the ten million US Dollars Wells Fargo check handed to him, then at the employment contract.
"Can I think about it some more?"
Trevor took out his signing pen, hesitated repeatedly, and said to Lane.
"Of course, our Boss doesn't like to force people to work for us. However, New York will be very chaotic during this period. For the safety of the three of you, you will need to temporarily reside in the Manor until the Boss returns!"
Lane spoke to Trevor politely.
"This is illegal detention!"
Trevor's eyes were practically spitting fire with anger as he glared fiercely at Lane and accused him.
"No, no, no, you misunderstand. This is just for the safety of you and your family!" Lane explained with a smile: "Outsiders call our Boss the Underground Emperor of New York, but this has always been a misunderstanding of our Boss by the outside world! Our Boss is currently running for City Councilor of New York City, and we would never do anything that violates Federal Law like illegal detention. However, public order/security in New York has never been very good, and I am truly just concerned about your safety, Professor Anderson!"
Trevor heard the hidden threat in Lane's words. He snatched the contract from Lane's hand in frustration.
"Then arrange a place for us to stay. Also, I have classes at the university!"
"Don't worry about that. We recently donated a sum of money to New York University to improve the university's accommodation environment. Principal Hamilton surely won't mind giving you a month-long leave!"
Looking at the still polite Lane in front of him, Trevor felt an urge to punch him, but considering the strength gap between the two sides, he could only reluctantly suppress his anger.
...
Pushing open the window, one could see the gourd-shaped Artificial Lake in the Yard at a glance.
A gentle breeze blew, and the lotus flowers covering the lake seemed to sway.
But Trevor was in no mood to appreciate even the best scenery.
"Uncle, should we find a way to leave this place?"
Sean pushed open the room door and said to Trevor, who was standing by the window.
"Shh!"
Trevor turned around and made a shushing gesture towards Sean, pointing to the room and then to his ear, indicating to be careful of listening devices.
"Uncle Trevor, I checked my room, and it's very safe. I didn't find any surveillance!"
As Sean spoke, he directly flopped onto the large bed in the room, which was worth over ten thousand US Dollars.
"I've already sent a message to Aunt Hannah. Are we sneaking out tonight?"
Sean lay on the bed, deliberately lowering his voice by a few tones.
"Aunt Hannah and I observed carefully just now. The guards in this Manor are very strict! It will be difficult to sneak out!"
"No, tonight I'll find a chance to sneak out first and figure something out. You and Aunt Hannah stay here obediently and wait for me to find people to come back and rescue you!"
Trevor looked at the calm Artificial Lake and made up his mind.
Late at night!
The Manor was silent, with only the occasional splash of water as fish leaped out of the water.
In the silence, illuminated by the faint moonlight, Trevor quietly opened the window and climbed out.
Using the cover of the window sill's shadow, Trevor carefully lay on the ground, crawling, and quickly reached the edge of the Artificial Lake.
Under the shroud of moonlight, the lake surface shimmered, and lotus flowers swayed in the wind.
Looking at the calm lake surface, Trevor felt a chill down his spine for some reason.
He glanced back at the window, where he could see Sean and Hannah peering out through the gap in the window in the shadow.
Gritting his teeth, Trevor took off his upper garment and silently immersed himself in the water.
Before entering the water, Trevor took a deep breath, dove into the lake, and swam underwater towards the direction of the gourd's mouth.
He had observed the Manor's terrain. This Artificial Lake had a waterway at the position of the gourd's mouth, which seemed to lead directly outside the Manor.
He planned to swim underwater to avoid the guards and get out of the Manor.
However, Trevor didn't notice that the moonlight shining on the lake surface didn't show any reflections, as if something in the lake water had completely devoured the moonlight.
The shimmering on the lake surface wasn't moonlight either.
"He went into the lake!"
At the Lakeside Pavilion, a woman in a black leather jacket leaned against a pillar, quietly staring at the ripples on the lake surface.
Moonlight spilled onto her, making her look like a moon goddess in the dark night.
Lane stood beside her, with several bodyguards in black suits standing behind him.
"The Boss refined a batch of skeleton demons in the lake. Let's give him a taste of hardship first!"
"Any news on those werewolves?"
Selene hugged her arms: "Found them, they're in the Sewers of New York. They breed very quickly, there are hundreds of them!"
"Hundreds!" Lane's eyes lit up: "I think the Boss will like this information!"
Splash! Just then, the water on the lake surface rippled violently, as if a large fish was struggling fiercely underwater.
Trevor desperately flailed his arms, trying to swim upwards. There was something underwater.
Two pale bone claws grabbed his ankles tightly, pulling him downwards.
"Ugh ugh ugh!"
Feeling the immense pulling force, and seeing no hope of surfacing, Trevor directly pulled out a multi-tool military dagger from behind his waist, flipped over, and tried to cut off the skeleton claws gripping his ankles.
As he flipped over, Trevor saw countless green phosphorescent fires light up simultaneously on the lake bottom in the slightly murky lake water.
Gulp!
Hundreds of skeletons with green phosphorescent fire flickering in their eyes floated towards him from the lake bottom. Even Trevor, who had experienced large-scale events like the Subterranean World, was so scared that he directly choked on a mouthful of lake water.
Before he could react, a ringing sound suddenly echoed from the lake surface. Trevor felt his vision go black and immediately fainted.
...
A grassland in the Island Center of Isla Nublar. Several Gallimimus were running around on this grassland.
However, this grassland, which was the size of two football fields, was artificially enclosed by several layers of wire fence.
These big guys, weighing several tons and resembling ostriches, could only move within this enclosure.
These herbivorous dinosaurs from ancient times were surprisingly equipped with saddles, just like horses.
After promising to invest in the Jurassic Park project and instantly becoming a major shareholder, Boss Tang quickly enjoyed different treatment on this island.
Upon learning of Fox's requirement to ride a dinosaur, the researchers on the island thoughtfully made a saddle specifically for her and selected a docile Gallimimus to be her mount.
Dressed like a cowboy, Fox held an old-fashioned revolver in each hand, riding a Gallimimus and shouting excitedly as she waved at Boss Tang.
As an orphan, Fox had been trained since childhood to become a qualified assassin.
The ideology instilled in her from a young age was to live for the Sacred Loom.
Only after that Loom was smashed and used as materials, turned into wooden tablets by Boss Tang, did she feel a sense of breaking free from shackles and living for herself.
"I'll have someone transfer the initial fifty million US Dollars,"
Tang Song waved back at Fox, standing on an Elevated Steel Bridge, watching several staff members use a crane to lift a cow and feed it into the guardrail.
Inside the guardrail, a Tyrannosaurus Rex roared towards the sky.
"However, I need to station a batch of guards and finance personnel on the island!"
Tang Song looked down at the Tyrannosaurus Rex tearing apart the terrified yellow ox with large bites, puffing on a cigar, and proposed his conditions to Dr. Hammond, who was standing beside him.
Dr. Hammond was not surprised by Tang Song's conditions.
