Chapter 108


    Wilbur was a man with his needs too.


    It was just that he had a working rtionship with Faye, and whatever happened with Yvonne had


    made him rethink his rtionships as well.


    He had gotten together with Yvonne because he was sick of the fighting and killing any! wanted a


    normal life.


    Yet after divorcing Yvonne and moving here, he had almost fallen for Faye’s temptations several times.


    After thinking it through, he finally understood several things.


    His lifespan was far longer than that of a regr human being. If he got together with Faye, she would


    eventually grow old and die.


    Wilbur felt like watching someone he loved die in his arms was something he could not really handle.


    The thought was enough for him to firmly bury his feelings for Faye, resorting to ying dumb all the


    time.


    Wilbur shook his head. It was better to y dumb until he figured out a way around that.

    He got up and carried Faye to her bed.


    Faye was really drunk this time.


    However, she had a blissful simile on her face this time as she slept.


    Wilbur smiled at the sight and went downstairs to clean the table up


    After he was done, he returned to his room and began to meditate.


    The next afternoon, Wilbur was in the living room. He flicked around Kenji’s name card with his fingers,


    deep in thought.


    Finally, he took out his phone and called the number on the card.


    The call was short and simple.


    Kenji was overjoyed to hear from Wilbur and invited him to a bar that very night.


    Wilbur knew that Kenji was not asking him out for drinks.


    He hung up the call with a faint smile before calling Elsa’s number.


    “Chief Janae?”


    “Who are you?”


    “You must know a lot of people, Chief Janae. We just met yesterday. It’s me, Wilbur Penn.”


    “Oh, you. What’s the matter?”


    “Could I know how things are going with Lenny Detroit’s case?”


    –


    Elsa, who was sitting in her office, felt a surge of annoyance well up in her.


    Her officers had just found out that Kenji was secretly running a loanpany when the investigation


    was called off by her superior.


    The reason bebind that was that Kenji was a proper businessman, and the loanpany was also


    legally allowed to do


    business.


    Elsa knew that investigating Kenji behind her superiors backs was against the rules, but it was usually


    not that big of a deal After all, doing everything by the book was quite a pain.


    This time, however, her superior bore down on her hard. He had even implied that there was a certain


    ‘Mister Lilith’ in the finance department, and getting on his bad side was a terrible idea.


    Chapter 109


    Elsa was furious, but there was nothing she could do.


    She was a vice-captain, but there was nothing she could do against the real higher-ups.


    Wilbur’s call struck a nerve in her, and she answered coldly, “That’s none of your business. We’ll deal


    with it on our own.”


    “Come on, Chief Janae. No need for such formalities. I’m just calling to tell you I’ll be going to have a


    little bet with Kenji Lilith tonight. I was wondering if there was anything you might need me to do.”
