Chapter 1291: 1291
The sudden news made Lagren frown .
It seemed like he had not expected this situation .
"What happened? What made Wilberst kill Hardy Lynne? Was he under someone's control? Or . . . "
Lagren, speculating endlessly, then looked at Kieran .
Unlike the surprise that overtook Lagren, Kieran didn't change his expression at all . He was sitting there with his cold, calm face as though he had seen it all .
"You expected this?" Lagren asked .
"Humans' hearts are a bottomless abyss filled with greed, like monsters about to devour their victims, dooming for eternity . So it isn't that strange for Wilberst to do something out of his character," Kieran said, not answering the question .
Likewise, just like Lagren, he also concealed some vital information .
Lagren obviously hid some vital pieces of information from Kieran, like the emphasis on Hardy Lynne .
If Hardy Lynne were really clean and absent of any suspicious movements, he would not have gotten such a spotlight .
"I think we need to have an honest talk," Lagren said .
"Sure, but before that, I need your help in removing my name from the wanted list . I want to go have a look at the scene of Hardy Lynne's death," Kieran nodded and voiced his conditions .
"You people really think I am almighty?" Lagren pouted again .
But he still picked up the phone and dialed it .
The phone call was short but the results were great .
"You are off the wanted list . Now you can rove freely . "
After Lagren told Kieran the good news, he became extremely upset .
"Each time I see you people, I always suffer a great loss! Do you know how much it costs to maintain the information network of an area? Bribing each department requires a lot of funds, and relying on the funds from headquarters is definitely not enough!
"Do you know why people like us easily suffers losses of hair, have oily faces and die of heart attacks? Stress! All stress, you know? Stress! So you must reflect to headquarters to increase my funds!"
"I know, yes and no," Kieran replied straightforwardly .
Kieran's straightforward answer was like an arrow firing into Lagren's heart . The hotel owner covered his heart and staggered backwards as if he were about to fall at any moment . His ranting didn't stop: "With your despicable attitude, you still tell me that you are not a Monster Hunter? From top to bottom, even your answers are exactly the same as those bastards'!"
"There is always similar food in the world… I mean, matters . The world houses all kinds of strange things and always surprises people with astonishing matters . Those astonishing matters are often created by men," Kieran said calmly .
"This is the reason for your rejection? You did say food just now, right? Not matters!" Lagren rolled a white eye at Kieran angrily .
"You got it wrong, that isn't the reason for my rejection . I am telling you since Wilberst is involved—no matter how differently he acted from his original character, he would be going after the biggest gain in the end . "
Kieran denied the allegations without changing his expression, then shifted the topic subtly .
And it seemed to be effective .
Lagren's attention was attracted right away .
"How can you be so sure that someone isn't controlling him? Or are you hiding something?" Lagren looked at Kieran with furrowed brows .
Kieran didn't answer, instead, he looked back at Lagren . Lagren was stunned for a while before he reacted and said slowly, "That 'thing' was lost from Hardy Lynne's hand, and based on my investigation, it should have been an inside job! However, the only thing Hardy Lynne hadn't expected was how unreliable the men he hired would be . How could they allow a 'snitch' to steal it from them?"
After that, Lagren looked at Kieran again .
This time, Kieran didn't let him down .
"I've seen people who have fallen under control and also people who haven't . Last night when I met Wilberst, he was the latter . "
It was a very subjective answer, but Lagren wasn't unsatisfied and even nodded .
Because of his mistaken identity, Lagren believed Kieran fully .
Kieran also hadn't lied to Lagren .
