Chapter 530



.

Hearing her, Karl looked at Nora and asked, “If I say I don’t know, will you believe me?”.

Nora was taken aback. “Why wouldn’t you know?”

Karl sighed. “I really don’t know how it got out of the country. I was only responsible for bringing them into the United States. Besides, after we arrived in the country, we went our separate ways. I didn’t get involved with them after that.”

Nora frowned.

She had originally wanted to give Karl a chance to redeem himself, but with the way she was putting it, was it really Karl who had brought them into the country?

He frowned.

Karl said, “Indeed, it is my fault that I forged their documents and smuggled them in and out of the country illegally. I am willing to be punished for it. You can decide the sentence.”

These were minor charges, for which he would probably be sentenced to jail for three or four years.

Seeing Karl confess to his crimes so readily, Nora couldn’t help but ask, “As far as I know, the Assassin’s Alliance never accepts this kind of work. Why did you take the job?” Karl sat back in the chair nonchalantly. His large, muscular body on the small chair made the chair look like it was going to collapse at any moment.

He rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing the tattoos on his arm. He was the spitting image of an underworld criminal.

He smiled, “Why else would it be? Because they offered a lot of money, that’s why!”

Money…

Before Nora could say anything, Morris had already spoken. He said, “Mr. Moore, as far as I know, they only gave you $1.5 million to get into the country. Others may be tempted by this amount of money, but considering that you are worth a few hundred million dollars, surely you won’t be interested in the job, will you? I hope you can cooperate with our investigation! You have to give us a logical reason! Otherwise, we have reason to believe that you are in cahoots with the mysterious organization!”

Morris’s suspicions were well-founded, and even Nora couldn’t refute them.

Karl sighed. “It really was about the money! People like us have no limits to what we do. What’s bringing a few people into the country when we’re used to even murdering? You think a few hundred million dollars is a lot of money? That money is accumulated bit by bit from several million-dollar jobs! Even though I have never killed anyone in the United States, you have no right to arrest me for this!”

He spoke clearly and logically, he was totally a sly old fox.

Nora looked at him, her jaw tense. She knew Karl wasn’t telling the truth.

In the eyes of the others, the Assassin’s Alliance was really an underworld organization. As long as one offered them money, they would accept the assignment and carry out the assassination.

However, she knew that the Assassins Alliance had limits.

Also, there was an unwritten rule in the Assassins Alliance, and that was that they were not allowed to kill Americans. Because they did not want to leave a criminal record in the United States.

This rule was established by Karl, which showed that the man had feelings for the country.

In fact, one could even say that Karl might have already made the decision to retire in the United States.

However, all of a sudden he was saying that he was willing to do anything for money. She didn’t believe him at all.

Before returning to the United States, Karl was completely unaware that he had a daughter. In the organization, he often advised others: ‘Just have enough to spend. Don’t be driven by greed.’ Besides, even Black Panther could tell that these people were trouble. Wouldn’t he be able to see it?

Something was definitely wrong here!

Nora suddenly stood up, nodded to Morris and left the interrogation room.

Since Karl refused to say anything, then she would investigate this herself!

She didn’t think there was anything in this world that Q and Black Cat couldn’t solve.

Nora went straight back to the Smith’s house.

She originally intended to go upstairs to do something, but when she was parking, she unexpectedly encountered a strange car in the parking lot.

Puzzled, she went into the living room. Before she approached the living room, she heard Jill’s voice coming from the bedroom. “I knew he was a bad person. He was already covered in tattoos when he was young. It was obvious at a glance that he wasn’t a man to be trusted, but I didn’t expect him to be such a ruthless criminal! Now that he’s been arrested, he really deserves it! What goes around comes around. He has to pay the price for killing so many people. The way I see it, he can forget about getting out of jail!”

The things he said were extremely horrible.

Tanya scoffed, “No one knows or can be sure what the truth is, or why Dad was arrested! I don’t need you talking nonsense here.”

“Talking nonsense?” Jill’s voice rose instantly. “Tanya, do you have a conscience or not? You keep calling a murderer like him father! If I were you, I’d never recognize him.”

Nora frowned.

She was about to enter the living room when Hillary’s father, also known as Jill’s current husband, said, “Tanya, don’t hold it against your mother that she said such horrible things. We rushed over as soon as we heard the news. If even a small family like the Joneses have heard about the incident, I’m afraid the whole of New York already knows about it….. With a father like him, even if he doesn’t care, won’t Mr. Smith care? The Smiths have a reputation to uphold! Besides, Mr. Smith’s wedding and yours is in two days.

Surely you need someone to hold your hand at the wedding, right? That’s why we’re here…your mother is still your mother, how can she stand by and watch you get married with no one to give you away at the wedding? We’ve already discussed this between the two of us. Since you grew up with the Joneses, why don’t you marry like a Jones instead?”

Nora was furious. She pushed open the door, but immediately heard Tanya sneer, “Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones. I am not worthy of your kindness. Please leave.”

After saying that, Tanya immediately ordered the butler, “Send the guests out!”. The butler stepped forward. “Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones. This way, please.”

Mr. Jones stood up. However, Jill shouted at Tanya angrily, “Tanya, you’re confusing a good man with a bad man! Our suggestion is for your sake! And yet you still don’t appreciate our gesture?”

Tanya had no time to talk to them. She was terribly worried at the moment.

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, the butler aggressively said, “Mrs. Jones, if you refuse to leave, I’ll have to call security!”

“Don’t touch me, I can leave on my own!” Jill glared at Tanya. Suddenly, she said, “By the way, don’t the Smiths have a real estate project they want to partner on? You can approach the Yeet Company. Remember to tell Joel.”

Tanya: “?”

She thought what she had said sounded ridiculous. “Why should I?”

Jill scoffed as well. “Because I took $300,000 from you! I’m your mother! Even if I die, you have no choice but to admit it! Since I’ve taken the money, you, as my daughter, have to fix it! I’ve already written them an IOU! If you don’t get Joel to work with them, Then they’ll come and ask you for money!”

After saying something so brazen, Jill sneered again, “You’d better think hard about what a father like that will bring you! The Joneses are at least innocent and have never broken the law! I advise you to think it over.”

Tanya was really very tired. She stared at Jill and suddenly asked, “Why are you treating me this way?”

“Why?”

Jill was suddenly furious. She pointed at her and ranting, “You caused Hillary’s death, so you owe us all of this! You have to support Uncle Jones and support the Joneses! Otherwise, as long as you live, I, your mother, will not stop harassing you and making your life miserable. Now that that damned Karl is no longer here, I’ll see what else they can do with me!”

Whatever happened, her parents were the ones who had given her life.

Jill was her mother, so she and Joel couldn’t really kill her.

Before, Jill had no longer come to make a scene because Karl had bullied her. But now that Karl had been arrested, Jill immediately saw hope again.

“Get lost!”

Tanya yelled at her.

Jill walked slowly toward the exit. “Don’t forget what I told you and remember to tell my fantastic son-in-law! Also, remember to let me know when Karl’s sentence is up…. Hahaha!”

Tanya was so furious that her chest was heaving up and down. Nora narrowed her eyes. She took a step forward and collided with Jill, Who was about to leave! After the collision, she stepped aside and raised her eyebrows at Jill.

Jill cursed angrily, “Are you blind?”.

But when she saw Nora, she swallowed the curses on the tip of her tongue. She merely muttered, “Tsk, what a bummer” under her breath and walked out with Mr. Jones. Nora watched them from behind with a cold stare. Then she pulled out a miniature earpiece and put it to her ear. Just now, when she had contact with Jill, she had planted a virus in her phone. Her phone was now Nora’s listening device.

She wanted to hear what the two people would say after they left.

Jill’s completely different attitudes toward her two daughters, Hillary and Tanya, baffled her. If a mother could love her daughter to the point of pampering and spoiling Hillary, how could she be so indifferent and hostile to her other daughter?

Something unknown to her must have happened then! No matter how substantial the reasons Jill had given earlier, she wasn’t buying it one bit! She turned on Jill’s phone and eavesdropped on the couple’s conversation after leaving the Smiths’ house.
