Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Distant Relatives_1
It’s 1:42:17 AM.
Over the past five minutes, Dominas has been staring at the time on his phone.
Anxiously, the manner of Chai Ke and Phine’s death keeps playing in his head.
Both were pierced through the chest, the scenery visible through the gaping hole. Each was dealt a fatal blow instantly, leaving them no chance to fight back.
After five minutes, he realized he was still alive.
Could it be, that this videotape was just a warning, and the perpetrator had no intention of taking his life this time?
After a while, Dominas got up, changed all his clocks back to seven minutes earlier, and started thinking at a rapid pace.
If there’s life, there’s hope.
To accept the warning signals from the assailant, dropping the actions against Lu Xiang, abandoning the grand plan he had been preparing for over the years...
No, absolutely not!
This plan not only represented the hard work of his first half of life, but it was also a way to prove his worth to the Foster Family. If he failed to achieve anything significant in his position as the High Prosecutor, the Foster Family would sooner or later remove him from his position. Considering the amount of confidential information he had, the Foster Family likely wouldn’t let him live.
This was both for his ambition and his survival. Only when he was firmly in the position of High Prosecutor could he survive in this dark world.
But under these circumstances, how should he save himself?
Eventually, a name surfaced in Dominas’ mind.
Dorago Safron.
His "predecessor", a professional assassin hired at the border, who had taken care of countless troubles for the Foster Family. An incredibly secretive character, even Angel, using her family connections, was unable to find any information about him. All she knew was that he came from "Another Place", and as long as the price was high enough, he would resolve any trouble.
Dominas had initially not wanted any connection with Dorago. In his eyes, the professional assassins were remnants of Angel’s era and bore the distinctive markings of the Foster Family. But compared to giving up his carefully nurtured plan, he decided to compromise with reality.
Dorago had shown him enough sincerity in the past.
After Phine’s death, he had sent a two-star Silver Emblem Medal to Dominas’s office. It was this medal that prevented the Foster Family from pursuing the matter further.
Dominas opened his safe and took out a notebook.
The notebook originally belonged to Angel. She followed her family’s instructions and recorded some important information in it. This notebook had always been kept in a bank vault under the Foster Family’s control until the day he officially took office, and was then removed from the vault.
The existence of this notebook was not just to remind Angel, but also as a contingency plan in case of her misfortune to prevent the loss of important information and to facilitate the work of her successor.
Dorago Safron’s contact information was also stored in this notebook.
With a nervous heart, Dominas sent a text message to the contact number on the memo:
"Someone stole something that belongs to me, Mescaline IV powder, I hope you can help me get it back."
"100,000 volts, cash."
Seconds later, a message came back from the other side.
"Price is not a problem."
Dominas quickly sent back a message.
"Within three days."
At the same time, Song Lan, lying in bed, turned over.
He had stayed up all night, but it was worth it. This round trip earned him 100,000 volts in cash. No wonder Dorago didn’t work in a factory and instead spent his days doing odd jobs for cold and heartless big families.
While there’s no sentimental value, the money is really good.
He even considered taking on part-time jobs to accumulate enough wealth for financial freedom in advance, so he wouldn’t have to tiptoe around his boss.
Everything was going as Song Lan planned.
He had delivered the videotape to Dominas’s house overnight to force him to contact him. The unexpected bonus was great, but his real goal was to establish good communication with Dominas so that his newly acquainted good brother could share his plans with him as soon as possible.
Song Lan didn’t make friends carelessly.
Dom and Dorago shared the same last name, so there’s a chance they were distant relatives. Being able to solve problems for a relative seemed like a minor favor Song Lan could do for Mr. Killer.
Song Lan had made up his mind about the Mescaline IV powder mentioned by the other party.
Three days was a rather delicate timeframe.
By then, the powder sent to the Law Enforcers department for testing should have been analyzed, and at that time, he would return the unaltered powder to his distant relative.
After all, the other party’s text message was very vague and did not stress against getting the substance tested by the Law Enforcers department.
Although Song Lan had opportunities today to send Dominas to join Mr. Killer and brother 1 for a game of Landlords, he didn’t do so, simply because the newly appointed High Prosecutor was just a pawn for the Foster Family. Dominas’ death wouldn’t affect the Fosters located in the core area, as they could easily replace the High Prosecutor with another person.
So, the right way is to maintain good communication with his distant relative, gather sufficient evidence, and then find the right opportunity to strike the Foster Family.
Only by doing this can they really deal a blow to the swagger of these big families and, at the same time, take revenge for the deceased Mr. Killer and his distant relative.
Under his active operations, everyone will eventually achieve their desired results.
With the mission complete, Song Lan could finally get a good night’s sleep.
...
At the same time, Lu Xiang, who was still in his office, took a syringe out of the drawer.
It was an anti-fatigue injection. She had been using it more frequently, and she couldn’t remember how long it’s been since she had a good night’s sleep.
But now is not the time to think about such things.
Because they retrieved footage from the scene of the car accident, and the time code in the lower-right corner of the footage captured an astonishing moment—sixteen seconds disappeared before the car hit the homeless man, which was the direct cause of the accident.
More importantly, this was the first time she had seen the effect of the "Good Samaritan’s" power in action.
The time jump explained why the assailant had only used six seconds to kill everyone on the scene before leaving on the day Chai Ke was murdered.
Lu Xiang was in a mix of feelings.
On one hand, having such a "Good Samaritan" on their side was incredibly comforting, but on the other hand, what happened today wasn’t a good sign.
The "Good Samaritan" must have known that his powers would be exposed on the surveillance footage, yet he still used them to set up a traffic accident in front of countless witnesses without destroying the surveillance cameras.
This undoubtedly meant that the assailant was getting more and more distant from "individual justice".
