Chương 35: Chapter 36: Looked more like a Greg

As Emma Hopkins stared at the laptop screen, she saw what looked like some kind of high-tech combat suit flying through the air with glowing wings and a tail while also carrying another person who sounded like she was screaming. She also noticed her Blue Lagoon club in the distance, and they seemed to be heading directly towards it.

As she watched them slow down and start descending towards the VIP floor balcony that had the outdoor pool, she snapped her laptop shut and rushed out of her office, heading for the VIP room. 💫💫💫 Adam dropped Melanie Gatz to the ground just before he landed next to the pool on the VIP floor. Melanie lay there gasping for breath and suffering from shock for a few moments before she glared at him and asked angrily, "What the hell was that, you mad man? Are you trying to kill me?"

Adam looked down at her before replying coldly, "I'm considering it." Melanie gulped at the coldness in his tone before asking with nervousness, "But why? I have done nothing to you, I don't even know you."

"Is that right?" Adam replied simply as he noticed that someone had just rushed into the VIP room. Emma Hopkins quickly arrived on the balcony area and was surprised when she saw Melanie on the ground.

"What are you doing here, Melanie? You asked to leave because you said you felt unwell."

"This maniac picked me up off the street and brought me here without my consent," Melanie replied. [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Why are you wasting your time on this streamer? Just kill her already and move on.] [Solarianpride11 (Solarian 4): Not everyone is as cold and blood thirsty as you, Deverinian.]"Why would he do that?" Emma asked in surprise.

"How would I know?" Melanie replied angrily as her confidence returned now that Emma was here. She had worked hard to gain Emma Hopkins' trust, and she wanted to use it to get out of this situation. Before Emma could speak, however, Adam interrupted their conversation.

"It's quite simple, Miss Hopkins, Melanie Gatz here is an informant for David Webster, better known as The Informant and has been selling him information on both you and others when she overhears something of value."

"What!" Emma asked in surprise.

"What the hell are you on about? I have never heard of either a David Webster or this Informant you speak of.. How can I sell him anything?" Melanie replied defensively.

"Well, you can't know he's dead." Emma and Melanie's eyes widened with surprise at the news.

"I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that just after the informant spoke to someone whom he named as informant seventeen, your bank account received a lump sum transferred to it each time, all from the same account as well," Adam said sarcastically. Melanie's eyes widened upon hearing this, but he just ignored her and continued.

"Nine months ago, CCTV shows in this very location, Miss Hopkins here arranging the transport of some very precious cargo for a certain government official, and you happened to be present serving drinks and entertaining the said official. I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that informant seventeen contacted David Webster shortly after said official left Club Lagoon, and then the precious cargo just happened to be mysteriously intercepted and stolen.

Oh, and let's not forget that after the job was done, your bank account mysteriously got a large payment from David Webster's account."

"I believe Miss Hopkins here had to pay out a large amount of money as compensation and lost a lot of respect for that incident." Melanie's eyes widened even more while Emma turned towards Melanie and shot her a look that could kill before saying angrily, "You traitorous bitch, do you realise how much that screw up cost me both financially and in terms of reputation?" This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Oh shit, that Spector sure uncovered a lot.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): This is some serious big brother shit.] [Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): I can't believe that bitch did this to Emma Hopkins.]"I…. I don't know what he is talking about, Emma." Melanie stammered.

"That's Miss Hopkins to you, and don't think you will be keeping your job after this." Emma snarled in return.

"So let me take a wild guess from the information I uncovered. Your boyfriend…. Errrr…. What was his name again? Shit, I forgot to ask before I killed him, let's just call him your ex then. So your ex…." Adam began, but was interrupted.

"You killed Frank?" Melanie asked disbelievingly as tears formed in her eyes.

"Frank, was it? Heh, I thought he looked more like a Greg personally. Well, anyway, technically, you could say you killed him, after all, you're the one who didn't heed my warning and sold my information. Frank barged in on me, interrogating David Webster about you, but instead of shooting me the intruder like a good security guard, he shot and killed David Webster. I guess Frank meant to silence him so that he couldn't give me your identity.

Shame Frank didn't realise that all I needed was his phone to find out who you were, honestly, it would have been harder to find you if he had just kept out of it." [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Damn, the streamer is rubbing salt in the wounds, I love it. Kekeke.] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Ok, kind of glad he didn't just kill her straight away now.] Melanie started to cry harder. [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Shit, is it just me, or is this getting hard to watch?] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Just you.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): It's just you.] [Beczontop (Imperial Down): Grow a spine.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Ouch, burn.]"Right, so as I was saying, I'm guessing based on the available evidence I have gathered that David Webster heard about you and how you're working here at the Blue Lagoon when Frank became a gate security guard for David's wealthy residential district. David then approached you, and you agreed to start selling him information you heard while working here.

You told Frank about this, and he decided to keep an eye on David just in case." Melanie didn't respond and just continued to cry over Frank's death.

"Well, not that it matters," Adam said before his tail shot out and pierced Melanie's heart, killing her.

"Melanie!" Emma gasped in surprise as her eyes showed slight pity. Melanie might have betrayed her, but they had known each other for a long time.

"So, can you guess why I went through the trouble of explaining all this in front of you instead of just killing her straight away, Miss Hopkins?" Adam asked as he looked at Emma.

"I apologise."

"Emma said while nodding.

"I'm not here for an apology, Miss Hopkins; after all, this had nothing to do with you. I'm just telling you to get your house in order because if this happens again, I wont be so lenient." After he finished speaking, Adam activated the anti-gravity as the wings appeared before he shot into the air, leaving a red blur. Emma watched him disappear before looking at Melanie's corpse and saying, "Stupid girl." After that, she turned on her high heels and headed back towards her office while pulling out her phone.

"Stacey, I need you to do a full in-depth check on all my employees and their associates for anything suspicious." She said as the call connected. 💫💫💫 [Beczontop (Imperial Down): Damn it, I have to go as I have bridge duty 😖. You'd better tell me exactly what happens later, Tess.] [Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Not like you will give me a choice.] [Beczontop (Imperial Down): Hehe.] [Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Hey streamer, have you seen the news? Inspector Sarah Sanders has been arrested and charged over corruption claims and is waiting for her court date. [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Why would he care about that?] [Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Use your head, idiot. The streamer completed a bank heist just to get his hands on evidence regarding a corrupt police officer, and now this news.] [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Ohhh, you're right.]"Is that right? Looks like it's time to finish this." Adam replied before asking." Spector, what can you tell me about this?" [As already stated, Sarah Sanders has been charged with corruption and is awaiting her court date. She is scheduled to be transferred from the Alamo City Police Department headquarters to Alamo City prison shortly, where she will await her day in court.]"How large is the transport convoy?" [Data shows only one prison transport.]"Really? That's surprising considering the number of people that laptop had evidence on." [Whostolemyduck (Earth): They probably don't expect any sort of issue since the evidence is already out there.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): True, they're probably anticipating that the guilty parties will be more interested in attempting to flee than seek revenge.]"Hmmm, you may be right." Adam said, replying to the chat before asking, " Where is the transport now?" [The transport is scheduled to leave in twenty minutes.]"Good, plot the transport's scheduled route on my mini map and let's go take a look." [Affirmative.]
