Chapter 414 Chapter 414 Wood?
"No! I wasn't leaving. I just wanted to admire this beautiful place, not sure when I will visit again." Angel stammered and smiled at Mary before ensuring she wasn't doing the exact thing Mary assumed.
"How long did he stay with you?" Suddenly, Mary asked such a question that Angel did not expect her to ask. She got baffled and her mind wandered to her thoughts. Angel was hesitant to answer because if she told Mary the truth about Mike, she would get scolded again. There was a high chance Mary would be pissed and might fire her for the same mistake happening twice.
That night, when Mike approached her in the brothel, she wasn't expecting him either. He appeared different that night but it was one of the least concern for Angel, till the moment they got intimate and Mike fucked her hard till she lost her consciousness.
The exact same thing happened with Nexus when Mary gave her the task of convincing Nexus at her side. Ashamed that she had been taken over by two men would make Mary Kay upset, or she might threaten Angel to fire her from the job as she had become weaker and a man could easily subdue her. Instead of giving Mary the correct information, Angel deliberately lied to save her own life.
"Like in hours? I don't remember, but he was there the entire night. You know that no man can resist my charm. I sucked his soul out of his cock and drained his strength. I don't believe anyone can get up and leave for work after I fuck them hard. He laid like a body the entire time." Angel was nervous while informing Mary about Mike.
He surely had knocked her conscious after fucking hard. Angel assumed that Mary must be suspecting Mike for the attempt at Nexus's murder.
Mary blinked her eyes, processing the information she received, but her doubts won't let her rest. She looked at Angel and said, "I don't know what is going on. Since the news of the attack on Nexus, I am trying to solve this mystery. So far, Nexus never fought with anyone in gain of power and made no serious enemy. I don't understand who can think of trying to kill him." Mary's concerns seemed genuine, and Angel didn't miss the expression lingering on her face. Anger, depression, and anxiety cover her face.
"You think Mike attacked Nexus?" Angel asked after a brief silence between them.
Mary nodded and informed, "I do suspect him because there was no one else who got the benefit from Nexus being dead."
Angel gave a second thought to her lie. But she did not expect Mike to plan the assassination. There were several reasons, but Mary's suspicions could be true. However, Angel knew Mike as a magical pharmacist, but never as a fighter. Mike cannot defeat Nexus with his strength, but if he had planned with a cold mind and set traps to make Nexus fall in, he could have killed him that way. But does that make any sense?
According to Angel, Mike couldn't plan to kill Nexus because of the shortage of time on his hand. Nexus was a prodigy and couldn't be easily fooled by a person like Mike. Yes, Mary was right that he was the only person benefiting from Nexus being dead, but if it was Mike, had knocked Angel unconscious immediately and left to execute the plan.
Mike woundn't have fucked her for a longer time if he wanted to kill Nexus. It only gave him little time to proceed with his plan. Angel got confused, and she didn't know what to believe or what not.
"I hope you will find out the real culprit and the mastermind of this assassination." Angel blurted, and Mary nodded her head in agreement. Soon after, Angel left for the brothel and Mary was left alone in her chamber.
She returned to her study table and sat down, collecting the papers and re-read them. The report of Nexus's assassination. She double checked in case she missed anything important. Moreover, she looked for the reason not to suspect Mike for the murder. Maybe someone else had planned the murder and set clues to frame Mike.
Mary had a throbbing headache from all the thoughts and she couldn't come to the conclusion of the case. Even with all the signs pointing at Mike, she still lacked evidence against him to prove him guilty of his crime. But not too late to put anything into action. She knew there weren't other people in Castra town who might want Nexus dead or try to kill him herself. The longer she thought about it, the stronger she got tangled in the mystery.
----------------------
In the Reaver's mansion, the utter silence was haunting since everyone got to know about the attempted murder on Nexus. Nexus was a blessing to the family who had helped them in their dark hour.
The news of his unsuccessful assassination gave them relief, but the fact of Nexus being in danger made them worry.
Tiffany had it all and felt depressed after hearing the news. She prayed for his well being by the time the suspect got arrested. The murderer was roaming freely in the town. He wasn't identified yet and he might tackle the advantage of it.
The very first thought that came to Tiffany's mind was, who could attempt to kill Nexus and why? From the last encounter to this, she suspected Wood Klien to be the killer. And why not?
Nexus had offended the Klein family for a stranger and he protected her by giving a job, which the Klein family won't do at all. Moreover, the image Nexus had created among the two folks was praised by many.
He was a charming man with a charming personality. Apart from that, Nexus did not have any enemy who wanted to kill him, but Wood.
For the shame on the name of his noble family, Wood might have planned the entire assassination and executed it when he found Nexus to be vulnerable. But it was all her hypothesis. There wasn't any evidence collected from the crime site which could lead the police to the criminal.
Tiffany assumed Wood to be the killer because of the insult he faced in the street. Even if he had faced the insult, he was the one who did wrong in the first place. Nexus only took a stand against injustice.
But Tiffany never thought Wood would be this cruel to plan a assassination to get rid of the man he hated. This thought infuriated her. But it wasn't such a high thing until Tiffany realized of another reason Wood would try to kill Nexus.
It was Crystal. She remembered how Wood had watched her bigger breasts and plump ass. He had probably raped her in his thoughts and would attempt to make any effort to get a girl like her.
Crystal won't come to Wood willingly and he tried to trade her from Nexus earlier, which attempt went unsuccessful. The only way he could get Crystal by his side was to kill Nexus and take his girl.
