Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Divine Luck

Roman Rhodes had been investigating Gene Young and Yvonne York. He believed the couple would be one of the keys to breaking the case.

As the saying goes, most crimes in this world involve financial transactions. By pulling the account statements for Gene Young and Yvonne York, Roman had followed the trail to a number of suspicious individuals.

Unfortunately, a blizzard was raging outside, and the city was snowed in. Roman couldn’t leave The Nimbus Hotel and was unsure how to proceed with the investigation. He never expected that a man named Kevin Kent would deliver himself right to his doorstep.

Kevin Kent had been caught by hotel security earlier today for harassing someone at the auction hall. Roman happened to be passing by and casually glanced at the man’s file. The moment he saw Kevin Kent’s name, it rang a bell. He remembered a transfer of 1,888,888 between this man and Yvonne York.

The amount was extremely suspicious. It clearly wasn’t a gambling debt or a loan; it had to be a large transaction.

And so, Roman decided to start with Kevin Kent, hoping he could follow the trail and dig up some clues about The Advent Sect.

When Roman asked his question, Kevin Kent was slow to react—after all, he had long forgotten who Yvonne York was.

He waved his hands and replied, "Yvonne Pork? I-I don’t know anything about pork or beef or whatever... Director Rhodes, I saw that little hooker in the hall, and I thought she was still working. That’s why I went to talk to her, you know, to give her some business..."

As Kevin spoke, his beady little eyes darted toward Roman. Seeing the director’s expression darken, he quickly added, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I swear it’ll never happen again. I’m willing to give her a public apology! From now on, I’ll go the other way if I see her! Please, sir, I’m begging you, just go easy on me and let me off the hook this one time!"

Roman ignored his rambling. He pulled up Yvonne York’s photo on his phone, held it in front of Kevin’s face, and asked, "Take a good look and think hard. Do you know the woman in this picture?"

With a trembling hand, Kevin Kent took the phone. The moment he saw the woman’s face, his pupils contracted.

He swallowed nervously, unable to meet Roman’s gaze. His eyes darted around as he stammered, "I... I... I can’t quite remember... I’m terrible with faces..."

Roman’s brow furrowed. "Kevin Kent," he said in a stern voice, "I suggest you tell the truth. The police have already concluded their investigation into the matter between you two. We’re just giving you a chance to confess."

"If you come clean yourself, you’ll be treated with leniency, and I can even help you get a reduced sentence. Otherwise... you’ll face the full extent of the law. You’d better think carefully about whether you want to tell the truth or not."

Hearing Roman’s words, Kevin’s face turned white as a sheet. He knew Roman wasn’t bluffing.

’If he’s come to me,’ he thought, ’he must have already found some evidence.’

Kevin looked at Roman’s severe gaze and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He knew he couldn’t escape and finally confessed, "I... I know her... She’s the owner of a club. I solicited prostitutes there a few times, and... and I also gambled..."

At this, Kevin started begging for forgiveness again. "Director Rhodes, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have gambled! I shouldn’t have solicited prostitutes! I swear it’ll never happen again. Please, I’m begging you, go easy on me, give me a break!..."

Roman’s brow tightened, and he cut off the man’s nonsense. "Enough! Don’t pull that act with me! You know that’s not what I’m asking about!"

Roman’s eyes were like a hawk’s, locked onto Kevin’s. "There were two transactions between your accounts and Yvonne York’s," he said in a low voice. "One for 888,888, and another for 1,888,888. That can’t be money from prostitution and gambling, can it? You’d better be honest about what was going on between you two. Don’t even think about hiding anything!"

Under the pressure of Roman’s stare, Kevin began to tremble uncontrollably. He hesitated for a few seconds before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "I... I went to her... to buy Divine Fortune... It’s... it’s sleeping with a pregnant woman, and then having her get an abortion, so you can absorb the fetus’s luck for this life..."
