"Because I love you and don't want you to suffer any grievances."
…
Janine waited in silence. She did not accept nor insist on rejecting the $15,000,000 Eropah dollars of investment Hannah offered. She wanted to wait for the latter to expose herself.
Zephyr was like his mother. He kept waiting. Once the other party's patience ran out, they would naturally expose themselves. This was especially after he received Nicholas' call.
"The person you asked me to check the other time, I got it!"
"Mm." Zephyr lowered his voice. "What's the situation?"
Nicholas' power was not in Melorian, but he had friends in gangs abroad, so he was able to find things out.
"You said that there's a boss around Melorian with a deep, grating voice? That's Cuck Cole!"
"What?" Zephyr nearly spat his coffee.
"Hahaha, it's said that people in the gangs call him that!" Nicholas said with a chuckle, "His real name's Chuck Cole, and he is coincidentally from Centrolis. He went to Ricos, then to Melorian after failing to establish himself there… He does everything abominable and seems to be on money laundering recently!"
Zephyr nodded and had his guess.
"Where did he get so much money from?"
"Illegal money, duh. Where else?" Nicholas snorted. "It's said that he's only made it and gotten rich by depending on a woman!"
Zephyr frowned. "Nicholas, how do you all go about this money laundering business?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I've quit. Don't get me involved!" Nicholas coughed. "But there are many ways to do it… Investment is one! Invest the illegal money, and it's legal when it comes back!"
"What?"
