Volume 10 – Chapter 12: Vested Interests (Part 1)

Caroline instantly felt that something was wrong, judging from Livia’s panic.

Is Boss Neymar dead?
Shouldn’t it be Joseph, who came from the neighboring district, who died?

She saw with her eyes how Joseph died tragically. His throat was pierced with a knife. Blood splashed on the glass with no possibility of surviving. She even clearly remembered the scene when Joseph died. It was horrific.

Even at this time, she could imagine how painful Joseph was at the time. But why did Livia say that it was Boss Neymar who died? Did the ruler of this territory die in his own house?

Could it be it was all because of the magical trade I experienced? Did the club kill Boss Neymar to save me from danger?

Wait, no… Maybe it was the murderer, who killed Joseph, killed Boss Neymar as well.
Caroline took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Under her rapid palpitations, she recalled the scene she saw from the bathroom. Joseph was on the upper floor of the villa, and the upper floor wasn’t available for anyone to attend. Joseph was probably discussing business with Boss Neymar at the time.

Even when Joseph died, Neymar was on the scene. It was Boss Neymar who ordered someone to kill Joseph. Was it a typical gang fight or something else?

But, why did Boss Neymar die?

“Boss Neymar… is dead?” Caroline felt that she knew too little information and hurriedly asked, “Why?”
Livia poured a glass of water at this time and drank it in gulps. She seemed to have eased her panic, but her face remained pale because of the immense panic. She shook her head at this moment, “How would I know? When the accident happened, I was having sex with a man! If it weren’t the boss’s subordinates rushing in suddenly, I wouldn’t know!”

Livia seemed to be recalling the situation at the time, “Later, we were brought to the living room. Did you know? Ronal went crazy at that time! He is Boss Neymar’s younger brother and has always admired his brother a lot. He was despondent! While tearing, he pointed the gun at many people’s heads one-by-one. He went completely crazy!”

Caroline had also heard about Ronal. He was an orphan but adopted by Neymar when he was young. Many people knew him as Neymar’s little brother. Over the years, Ronal had conquered a huge territory for Neymar and was one of the core people of the gang.

“Then…” Caroline could naturally imagine the situation at that time.
Neymar represented the order of this area. His death also represented the collapse of order. This time was undoubtedly a disaster for the gang headed by Neymar.

“Later, they interrogated each territory one by one, but in the end, they couldn’t find out any clues.”

Livia patted her chest and said, “Furthermore, everyone in the villa knew each other. We can testify to what each of us was doing. Not only was Boss Neymar dead, but I also saw them take Joseph’s corpse out. Oh, it’s Joseph from the neighboring district I told you about!”

Caroline nodded subconsciously.

Livia swallowed her spit, “Oh my God, do you know how Joseph died? A large part of his throat was severed, although his head was still attached to his neck and almost fell out! You don’t even know how much blood was shed! Almost half of his body was covered with blood… It was terrifying!”
Caroline sat down on the chair while offering Livia a glass of water.

“…I heard them whispering. It seemed that Boss Neymar and Joseph were discussing something at the time, and there seemed to be another man present. But at that moment, no one could find that guy. I heard Ronal seem to say something like ‘Mr. Song is gone.’ They mentioned some kind of “flower.” I didn’t hear the flower name clearly.”

Livia shook her head, “Later, they let us all go, but they also warned us not to leave this area casually. When I came back, I took a glance. All the exits were heavily guarded. Anyone leaving the place would be checked and interrogated!”

“It looks like something big happened…” Caroline murmured.

Livia suddenly asked suspiciously at this time, “By the way, how did you come back? I don’t remember seeing you at that time? Later, I looked for you and found nothing other than this.”

Livia took out a bag from the bag she was holding in her hand. It was Caroline’s bag.

Caroline had no choice but to say perfunctorily, “I ran into a customer who liked excitement. He took me out to his car and sped around. Then, we did it in the car.”
She glanced at Livia’s expression and continued, “I feel a little tired after doing it. It’s too tiring to do my work in the car. I asked that guy to send me back. I didn’t expect to leave my back behind. I thought I lost it somewhere, but it turned out to be left in the villa. I was worried for a long time!”

Livia nodded, didn’t doubt anything, and said casually, “No wonder I heard the doorman saying that they saw you walking out with a man.”

“Really…” Caroline’s face changed slightly.

The doorman said so?

That would be impossible!

At that time, she escaped frantically! Moreover, the villa’s guards were chasing her. How could the guards testify for her? They were under Boss Neymar’s!
What she told Livia was just a temporary lie!

Yes… it’s that mysterious shop! That boss!

Could it be that he had predicted that I would tell such a lie a long time ago? Hence, he did something to get the guard to testify for me?

But… how could he know that I would use this excuse and subsequently make the doorman say “saw me leaving with a man” but nothing else?

In an instant, Caroline became more and more scared of the peculiarity behind this matter. The more she thought about it, the more she felt a mysterious and weird power behind it. It was like a huge net woven and engulfed her. She rubbed her forehead with some horror.
Perhaps… the nightmare has not been resolved but has just begun?

“What’s the matter with you? Caroline? Caroline?” Livia looked over at this moment with concern.

Caroline shook her head at this time and said casually, “Isn’t it a bit scary to hear a piece of news like this?”

Livia thought so deeply. She was also afraid and worried, “Yes! Once Boss Neymar dies, I don’t know what will happen in the gang. Who will take over the position next? I’m afraid no one will accept it. The worst situation is that there will be an internal fight in the gang. Once this happens, this place may not be peaceful for a long time.”
The gang controlling the slum had given the order to the locals. Of course, the entire slum was naturally affected when the order collapsed from within.

“Ai, let’s not talk about it!” Livia stood up, “I’m going to take a shower first, and then get a good night’s sleep! Whatever is going to happen next, let it go to hell! Oh… By the way, this is your salary. The referrer paid us when he left. I took your portion for you.”

Livia took out a few banknotes from her wallet and placed them in front of Caroline. She blinked and said, “This is for this month’s rent.”

Caroline put the cash away in silence.

Caroline, who particularly liked banknotes, wasn’t happy at this moment. Livia found it strange, but she soon accepted it since such a big event had happened.
Caroline basically couldn’t sleep that night.

She held the bank card. Her guts told her that she should go to that place again and ask the young and mysterious boss what happened.

This was the first night when she was holding her favorite banknote but couldn’t sleep peacefully.
