His marriage to Faye Quinn was a family arrangement.
But he had never felt anything for the sickly young lady.
Faye Quinn’s condition worsened after being caught in the acid rain. Although he brought both her and Dylan Quinn into the Quinn Group, he never once went to see her.
To compensate, he even gave Dylan Quinn many special privileges.
’But I never thought Dylan Quinn would want to kill me?’
He hadn’t believed it at first, but since the words came from Simon Abbott, he had no choice but to believe them.
After all, Simon Abbott’s friend, Liam Grant, had prophetic dreams.
"This is just my speculation.
When you were severely injured before, Dylan Quinn didn’t make a move against you.
Faye Quinn also knew about your injuries back then.
If she truly hated you, why didn’t she act then?"
Simon Abbott’s words sent Tyson Hughes deep into thought.
He remained silent for a long time.
Just as Nina Jacobs was wondering if her Five Senses Enhancement was about to time out, Tyson Hughes finally spoke.
"Someone from the main family is wary of me,
because back then, I hadn’t yet awakened my Dual Element Superpower."
Hearing this, Simon Abbott nodded in satisfaction.
"I’m not familiar with the situation with the main family.
Be careful after I leave."
"Why are you helping me?"
Tyson Hughes asked suddenly.
Nina Jacobs also focused her attention.
She was also curious why Simon Abbott would go so far as to betray Liam Grant just to help Tyson Hughes.
"Because... the powerful in this world always need a strategist, don’t they?"
Simon Abbott replied with a smile.
Tyson Hughes laughed out loud.
"I originally thought you were betting on the main family.
I didn’t expect you to think so highly of me."
"Tomorrow’s arms shipment... I’ll have Dylan Quinn handle the pickup.
When he returns, the answer will reveal itself..."
The conversation between Tyson Hughes and Simon Abbott didn’t last long.
But it left Nina Jacobs utterly shocked.
She had thought Simon Abbott had abandoned Liam Grant, who hadn’t awakened a Dual Element Superpower, and chosen Tyson Hughes instead.
But she never expected something even more explosive.
Simon Abbott not only hid the fact that he was reborn,
but he also cleverly planted this "ticking time bomb" on Liam Grant.
’What a grand scheme.’
Nina Jacobs almost felt like applauding Simon Abbott.
However, she hadn’t forgotten her own objective.
「Finally, the dead of night arrived.」
Nina Jacobs released a Little Zombie Rat from her bedside.
The Little Zombie Rat scurried along the wall, heading toward the incineration station Melanie Lawson had told her about.
She found that her Control over the Little Zombie Rat was becoming more and more proficient.
She could even extend her Five Senses Enhancement to perceive the surroundings along with the Little Zombie Rat’s movements.
Meanwhile, down at the incineration station,
Dylan Quinn grimly pulled off his blood-soaked gloves.
"Shaw, take care of this tonight,"
Dylan Quinn said.
"Got it.
It’ll be cleaned up tonight.
Don’t you worry, Mr. Quinn."
A large, bare-chested man replied with a grin.
Dylan Quinn glanced at the mangled figure on the floor, then lost interest.
’If I can’t pry it out of his mouth...’
’...I’ll just have to find that woman who was with him before...’
After Dylan Quinn left,
the bloody figure on the floor seemed to stir.
Shaw, looking disgusted, started cleaning the bloodstains on the floor with a squeegee.
"Well, look at you. Still not dead?
You’re not actually thinking someone’s coming to save you, are you?"
"A Superpower User, too. What a waste.
Would’ve been great if that Superpower of yours was mine instead, eh?
So damn tough."
"You should’ve just kept your mouth shut if you didn’t know what to say.
But no, you just had to glare at him.
You offended Mr. Quinn, and now you’re gonna be turned to ash tonight."
Shaw muttered to himself as he cleaned.
It was the first time he’d ever seen someone drive Dylan Quinn into such a frenzy.
It was also the first time he’d seen someone beaten so brutally.
