Chapter 83 Steven Angry
Tonight had been a very long night for Mr. Michelle. The man finished all the drinks on the table and then smiled wryly, a slap in the face from the horrific event that had occurred. Even now, he didn't know what to do. Various problems had arisen over the past few days, leading to this.
"Uncle, I want to tell you about a rather unique case. And of course, this case has made me very curious about some things that might have happened in the past."
Steven, who had just arrived to see his uncle, immediately spoke, but Mr. Michelle didn't really pay attention to what his nephew was saying. "Yesterday, I was just talking to Rebecca. I don't know where or what. Suddenly, she gave me three symbols, hoping I could decipher them. I still don't know what they mean, but she said they were related to the parents of a police officer's husband who was murdered in a very sadistic manner. It reminded me of a horrific incident decades ago that seemed almost identical. I don't know if it was a coincidence or if the motive was similar, but somehow, it's something that has really piqued my curiosity. And now I'm planning to meet that man. I'm so curious about his face, especially his way of thinking, and all his background and problems. For some reason, I'm convinced that Julia's husband might have the past I'm looking for. And of course, that's one of the things that makes me so happy to think about it."
Hearing this, Mr. Michelle immediately glanced at his nephew. The man stared at him with a very sharp gaze. Being looked at like that by his mother made Steven really shocked for the first time in his life, he even saw his uncle looking at him with a look like this.
"I hope you don't interfere at all in this matter. After all, this is an adult matter, and you have no right to interfere. So, stop being curious about anything and everything you shouldn't know about. You should also think about some very important issues, and I hope you stop following this. Shouldn't you focus on your work? Haven't I given you a task that you must complete? This is none of your business, and you should never try to touch this area, or you will lose your life."
Was this a threat? Or was it a warning? What was clear was that for Steven, the more he was forbidden, the more curious he became, and the more he wanted to step forward to address this matter. As a man with a soul deeply curious about threatening things, he didn't care at all if, one day, when he insisted on finding out about this matter, the criminals tried to kill him. After all, when he decided to become a member of the police force, he was prepared for all the risks that might come his way. "Somehow, from your tone, I feel like you know something. Or perhaps you were actually tasked with investigating and solving this case. But unfortunately, there's something even more terrifying: you weren't able to uncover it, and in the end, you were destroyed. And the saddest thing is that you couldn't stand up to the government and the central police, which made you silent and look like a fool."
Hearing this, of course, further inflamed Mr. Michelle's emotions. He had never expected his own nephew to say such infuriating and disrespectful things to him. Finally, he grabbed his nephew by the collar and brought his face closer to his, squinting at him. Mr. Michelle felt even more irritated.
“Who are you to dare say that to me? You are shameless and have no right to talk about what I experienced and what I did. Whatever I did in the past has nothing to do with you, don’t think you are the smartest and also look down on anyone who can make you like this. Even you were able to enter my team because of my recommendation then how can you now try to give an assessment of my performance when there is a case that even the government can’t try to stop this case. So I suggest to you, Stephen, before you try to be stubborn and continue to try to find out about this problem and also these cases I tell you one thing, there are some things that you don’t deserve to know there are some things that you should be aware of. Wouldn’t that be sweet enough? Rather than you being so stubborn and in the end you end up losing everything. Today, consider me giving you a warning as the leader of your team, and if you make another mistake and even you continue to insist on investigating this case behind my back I can ensure you will be dishonorably discharged for violating my orders. And now instead of you coming here, isn’t it "Wouldn't it be much better if you left immediately? Seeing your face here makes me sick, and I almost don't want to go anymore."
Being treated like that, of course, made Steven completely give up and do nothing. The man chose to leave immediately and leave his mother's house, filled with mixed feelings: anger, disappointment, and rejection of whatever had happened, which certainly succeeded in making Steven even more upset.
However, the man would never give up on everything that had happened and would ensure that whatever he did would be truly enjoyable. He had a mission, and he was incredibly curious about the secret mission that had been so well-planned. And when his uncle told him to give up on everything that had happened, of course, that would never dampen Steven's spirits. The man would do anything to uncover this case and prove to the world that this case was a case of a group of shameless government and police officers and that they should bear all the burdens that had been done so far.
