Chapter 125: Reflections

Caron committed suicide? He used a suicide note to accuse me of forcing him to sell his shares? And his family can even provide evidence to support that?

As Klein listened to the leading police officer’s statement, he digested the relevant contents, and one question after another took shape in his mind.

Once he understood what had happened, his first reaction was:

Baron Syndras has made his move!

After failing to seek cooperation, this great banker had not hesitated to treat him as an enemy and carry out his follow-up actions, without the slightest restraint!

Moreover, he had clearly gathered enough information. He knew that Dawn Dantes had formed certain connections with the Evernight Church, Councilman Macht, and the forces behind him. If he dealt with Dawn Dantes directly, it would easily attract unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he had chosen Caron, the other side of the transaction, as the breakthrough point. This was more indirect and safer, yet equally vicious and ruthless.

He has absolutely no regard for ordinary people’s lives…

Klein suddenly thought of the innocent people who had fallen one after another during the Great Smog of Backlund. Fury surged inside him, difficult to restrain, bubbling upward before turning icy cold.

Using his Clown abilities, Klein controlled his facial expression, making himself appear even more astonished. As though he had not understood, he asked in return, “Are you certain this is not a joke?”

The leading police officer nodded solemnly.

“If we did not have sufficient clues supporting this, we would not come to disturb a gentleman like you.

“Mr. Dawn Dantes, please come back with us to the police station and cooperate with the investigation.”

Outwardly steady and calm, while his thoughts spun madly, Klein was just about to reply when he suddenly caught a point that did not fit logically:

No matter what, in the current Loen Kingdom, murder was a serious crime. Given Baron Syndras’s identity, status, and network of connections, if he wanted to deal with an out-of-town millionaire who had only been in Backlund for two months, there were at least dozens of effective methods available. There was absolutely no need to take matters this far.

At his level, upper-society figures would more or less understand or come into contact with certain supernatural powers. They clearly knew that all kinds of unbelievable methods existed in this world that could track down the true criminal. If there was not complete assurance, risking murder and framing someone was definitely the lowest sort of choice.

If Baron Syndras could rely on his own influence to forcefully suppress an investigation by official Beyonders, then other methods would certainly be even more effective and simpler!

Even if he does not yet know I am about to cooperate with the military, he can certainly know about my relationships with the Evernight Church and Councilman Macht. He would not act in such a crude and simple manner… Most importantly, since he was willing to hire someone to kill for that three percent of shares, why did he not do so earlier? If he had put a gun straight to Caron’s forehead from the start, the matter would have been resolved without a ripple…

Klein thoughtfully glanced at the police officers before him and did not immediately respond.

In the neighboring room of this small sitting room, Xio and Fors leaned against the wall. Through the small “door” opened by the latter, they had heard every word of the conversation.

“What do we do? If the police insist on arresting him, should we provide protection?” Fors, who lacked sufficient bounty-hunter experience, hurriedly lowered her voice and asked her friend.

She had not imagined that a business dispute would evolve into a case involving a human life and a suspected frame-up. The imagined enemy had also changed from robbers breaking into the house and assassins carrying out murder to the police. For a moment, she did not know…
