The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]
Chapter 836: Conclusion

SORCHA burst into tears seeing her son plead for them like this. Richard also showed a pained look. If one could see what he was thinking now, they would see how he thought himself as a failure of a father.

Luo Yan watched all these as if watching a play. He even wanted to eat melon seeds if he could. But he still had to do his role. So, he helped Cian stand up.

Do you remember what I told you earlier? Nothing bad will happen to your mother, he said to Cian. Im a man of my words. So, you can rest assured that I will keep it.

Cian looked at her in a daze. Its as if he couldnt understand what hes saying.

Im a detective because I have always been fascinated by the truth. Ive always upheld it to the highest degree. But this doesnt mean that I would exact justice when the recipient didnt deserve it.

What Luo Yan meant was he didnt think that Catherine deserved to be brought to justice. After all, in this whole fiasco, the one who had sinned the most was her. Luo Yan also didnt care much about Saunders end. That guy had it coming. Its already his good fortune that he managed to live for 20 more years instead of being hanged in the gallows.

That thing with George was only an attempted murder. Besides, he knew that Sorcha would come for the other and hes confident that he would be able to stop it. So, really. Was there a need to punish this couple who had already suffered enough?

Luo Yan was not a saint who would indignantly uphold justice. Not to mention, this was still the holographic world. Whats wrong with giving these people a happy ending?

Besides, the game system didnt tell them to punish anyone. It just wanted them to know the truth of what happened 20 years ago. And he believed that they had already uncovered everything.

If everyone here agrees, we can blame everything that happened here to an unknown killer, he said, looking at everyone one by one. Richard Harcourt had already died in record. Sorcha Harcourt had long immigrated to America. Theres no reason for the two to be here. The one burnt to death was William Harcourt, not the driver, Saunders.

That last part made some of the NPCs gasped. Probably because they had already forgotten about this burnt body. But now that they thought about it, if that body didnt belong to William Harcourt, then who could it be? Now, it was suddenly revealed that its actually Saunders. Of course, they would be shocked.

But when they thought of the others involvement with the events that happened 20 years ago, they felt that Saunders deserved what happened to him. One should know that William Harcourt and Sean were not the only victims of that explosion. Some servants also suffered grave injuries. Unable to work and soon faced early deaths. Saunders might have as well killed them with his own hands.

If anyone here has any opinion about my decision, please do tell me the reason.

After Luo Yan said that, almost everyone glanced at where Daphne was sitting. The other had been silent this whole time. Considering that this involved her mother, its only right to ask her opinion. Even though Catherine was like the reincarnation of evil, it didnt change the fact that she was Daphnes mother.

He wasnt too worried though. Daphne was one of the four. Which meant she wouldnt really care about Catherine.

II have no opinion, Daphne said. I understand what my mother did was wrong. Therefore, I wouldnt say anything about this. I would also help you deal with my father. But She looked at Richard and Sorcha. That doesnt mean that I forgive you for killing my mother. Maybe I wont ever.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows. It seemed this one still knew how to play her part well. Her acting was very delicate. Showing her dedication to her role. Luo Yan could only smile inwardly seeing this.

We are not so shameless as to ask that from you, Richard said. But we will also not apologize for what we did.

Daphne only nodded.

Now that we cleared that, I believed

Wait! Edward suddenly shouted, cutting off whatever Luo Yan was about to say. He turned to Richard. I understand your hatred against Catherine. But why me as well? I know that you plan to push what happened today to the two of us. Thats why you stuffed me in that hidden passage, making it look like I ran away with a guilty conscience. II was never involved in what happened 20 years ago? So, why? Why punish me like this?

When Edward said that last part, his voice hitched, as if there was a sudden lump in his throat. His expression was full of grievance and underlying sadness, maybe even anger.

Richard looked at the other with a straight face. Because youre a bystander. You knew from early on that there was something wrong with Catherine. Youve seen her do things that a normal girl her age wouldnt do. But you just turned a blind eye to it. Knowing you, you probably even snickered behind our backs, thinking that were all stupid for not realizing it. Thats why I want to punish you.

Edward was speechless hearing this. But he couldnt refute the other. Because it was indeed the truth. He looked like he wanted to defend himself. But at the end, he only closed his eyes tightly and said;

Regarding what happened to Catherine, I have no opinion. You can all do whatever you want.

After Edward said that, everyone else followed.

Cian turned to his parents and hugged them. The family of three huddled together and shed tears. A lot of emotions flashing on their faces.

[Ding! Congratulations to team Yunyue for successfully solving the mystery of what happened 20 years ago!]
