GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He shook his head and said, “What a mess.”

“It would be a big mess because I would have offended eight epic beings for a dead person. I would have also offended every other gang for forcing the Golden Hammer gang to be subject to invasive procedures for something they are not responsible for.”

“The only way out will be to falsely claim that I found evidence of crime in their minds. That’s the only way to justify what I did. But they will surely fight me then because they are innocent.”

“Even if they don’t fight me, every gang will fight me because no one will believe that the leaders of the Golden Hammer gang willingly opened up their minds to be read even though they are guilty.”

He spoke for a long time, which showed just how seriously he is taking this matter.

When he was done speaking, he said, “In summary, I have concluded that it is not worth it to force them to open their minds. The risk of capsizing is too high, and the reward is not proportional because nothing we do will bring Celine back.”

“So advice you to either give up or acquire evidence that they are related to the crime. If you get evidence, we can report it to the family council and make them take action together.”

“That is the most efficient way out of this issue, not forcing eight epic beings to open their minds to be scanned even though we didn’t force our weaker sons to do the same.”

She nodded in understanding and said, “I should make the city force them, not you.”

He didn’t say anything anymore because he had said all that needed to be said. Unfortunately, she still wasn’t willing to let things end there.

She said, “I knew that you never let your emotions dictate your actions, but I didn’t expect that you would remain heartless even when your daughter dies.”

He sighed and said, “You can think of whatever you want to think about me. It is your right to do so. But I will say that the fact that I didn’t rush to risk my life and the lives of our forces for my dead daughter doesn’t mean that I am heartless. It only means what you stated earlier. I don’t let my emotions dictate my actions.”

She snorted and left.

As she left, she realized that she wasn’t as angry as she was before. What she didn’t know was that her husband was still angry.

He didn’t show it, but he was very angry about the death of his daughter. Even if his emotions as a father are taken out of the equation, he still has many tangible reasons to be angry, one of which is the amount of money he had spent on raising Celine.

He had spent a lot of money to raise her. It was an investment that he was hoping to reap the benefits of in the future. But all of that is gone now that she is dead.

When he said that nothing they did was going to bring her back, he believed that he was right. Nothing would bring back all of the time and effort he had invested in her. But that doesn’t make him happy. In fact, it makes him even angrier.

It is because he knows the tangible benefits that he has lost through Celine’s death that he has good and logical reasons to be very angry. But he didn’t let that anger make him spend money on a lost cause.

He has to have a good reason to destroy the Golden Hammer gang. To be honest, there is no such good reason.

The Golden Hammer gang is just suspicious. They might not be responsible for her death.

There is also the fact that they haven’t been rich for long. So he won’t gain much if he attacks and raids them now.

Ideally, he would prefer to have proof of their crime and something to make up for his lost investment before he makes a move. Until then, he can only be angry at the murderer and bear the anger in relative silence.

He is relatively silent because he is already investigating the Golden Hammer gang in another way. He is not one to take a loss lying down. He has to at least gather enough information before making a decision.

He had stopped the investigation on the outside, but he is doing another investigation secretly. To prevent anyone from suspecting him, he set his wife to investigate in public.

He doesn’t have much hope for her investigation, but he will be satisfied if her investigation serves as a smokescreen for the public and the murderer.

And to be honest, his goal is not to find incriminating evidence against the Golden Hammer gang. He is more concerned about finding out if it is safe to attack them and if they have something worth his effort.

If he finds that they are wealthy, he will attack them regardless of their responsibility for Celine’s murder.

So whether the Golden Hammer gang has something to do with his daughter’s death or not, as long as he determines that it is worth it to attack them, he will take action.

He will just find a random reason to justify his actions to be public later. As a member of one of the founding members of Reinfield City, this is one of the privileges that he enjoys.

The whole city is the property of his family and those of the other founding families. So it is a disgrace and an embarrassment that his daughter was killed and he can’t find the killer. But if need be, the Golden Hammer will have to take on the mantle of the murderer of his daughter.

After making up his mind, he thought to himself in anger, “As for the true murderer, you better make sure that I don’t catch a whiff of you.”
