After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 I'm Not Afraid of You

The news said that while on the run, their leader Chester knew he had no choice but to commit suicide, along with his second in command Jason, and several of his men.
Word was, they were already dead when the police found them and the initial conclusion was suicide.
But it couldn't have been a suicide. If he killed himself, Jason wouldn't be there, Hannah thought. Because Jason was brought there by Theodore.
She turned to look at Oscar. Oscar felt Hannah was acting strangely, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Hannah did not know what he was capable of.
"The leader is dead," she said. "The police said it was suicide."
There were some subtle changes in his face.
"Do you think it is true?" Hannah asked.
"No," Oscar said bluntly.
Hannah's heart dropped a beat. Unexpectedly, he did not hesitate to deny it.
"I killed him." Said he.
Hannah looked at him.
"I will not lie to you. If I say that, it will be true or I will choose silence." Oscar was pretty serious, "I did kill him, when I came to the fireworks factory, I just received a message that there was an ongoing trade, so I sneaked in. As for how I knew about the deal, I'll admit that I've known about this gang for a long time, and this time, I wanted to catch them all and bring them to justice. So I asked Theodore to help me investigate the ring early on, and then I received the news about this trade."
Hannah listened to his explanation quietly, yet she did not know how to face him.
"He must have been something to hide in the fireworks factory for so many years without anyone knowing, and I was noticed not long after I sneaked in to take photos as evidence. They are good at anti-reconnaissance, of course, which is not surprising, Chester was trained before. He just went astray. When I was discovered, they immediately blew up the fireworks factory to destroy the evidence."
"At the same time, he took the opportunity to run away, I buried the phone on the ground and followed him. I think you can get why I left the phone there. First, the local forces work together with them and they will certainly help them, so it is likely for them to pinpoint his precise location through phone signals, thus I need to drop it to avoid being caught. Second, if I had died while chasing him, at least I would have kept the evidence and not worried that it would not be discovered. It turns out I was right, and there you have found it!"
Hannah was stunned and stared at him for a while, she finally said, "How do you kill them all? Even if Theodore and Jimmy arrived later, there would only be three of you, but ten of them were all dead."
She didn't know why she was asking and what answer she wanted. She thought any single one of them would not be what she wanted to hear.
"I just secretly followed them on the way. I did not dare to act rashly. I was also waiting for my men. I didn't think you would go there, but I believe Theodore will come and I need him to help me." Oscar looked at her and said, "It was not difficult for us to fight 10 people."
"…"
Who he was on earth?
What was his ambition?
Hannah was asking herself in her mind.
"Are you afraid of me?" Oscar asked her after all the explanations.
Hannah didn't give her answer.
"Don't be afraid of me." Oscar suddenly reached out to her and held her in his arms.
Hannah did not resist. It seemed that only in his warm and familiar side, she could feel he was real.
"One day, I'll come back to you clean." He said gently.
It was a promise. He was telling her that one day he would put aside all his cruel side and live a normal life with her again.
"No, I am not afraid of you." Hannah answered.
"I love you." Hannah said, "And what's done is done."
Oscar suddenly laughed out loud.
"I'm just worried if I'm worthless in your world." Hannah suddenly sighed.
It was not self-denial; it was recognizing the reality.
"No, you're smarter than I thought." Oscar did not hesitate.
Hannah frowned.
"Do you know when Theodore told me that you also followed us to Langley Town?"
"No."
"After we killed them." Oscar said.
"Would you have chosen to come to me first?" She asked.
He hesitated for a moment before answering, which made Hannah somehow annoyed.
"Probably not." Oscar suddenly replied.
Hannah was furious.
"On the one hand, going after them is to make a bigger contribution, which will be diminished if they run away. On the other hand, if they have fled, it will be all in vain. If this is not completely solved this time, it will happen again. So in the big picture, I would take out them first."
Hannah was angry, but there was no reason to lose her temper.
He said all with good reason.
He could make a great negotiator.
But at least she knew he was not bad. He was not a good guy, but he was not a bad guy either. Or he wouldn't care about how much more damage he would be doing to society by letting go of a drug dealer.
"And when I knew you came over here alone to investigate what happened…" Oscar looked straight into her eyes.
"It was like a bomb exploded inside me." He said worriedly.
Hannah pursed her lips. She was not sure whether he was worried about her or he was laughing at her biting off more than one can chew. She thought it must be both.
