Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-130

- March 26, 2010, Friday -

Luan had returned home with his mother and sisters. Ingrid was going to stay at her mother's house until things got better. Meanwhile, Luan had someone deliver a car to Ingrid's mother's house so that Ingrid could use the car he left for her to go to work at the company.

That same day, Ingrid arrived to work at 7 am. It was not too late, nor too early. That's because she was waiting for the car that Luan called for, saying he would deliver it to her.

Seeing Ingrid arrive alone, soon after Luan arrived, many began to gossip and speculate.

"Why did they come apart?"

"Mr. Did Luan get tired of her and break up with her?"

"She is beautiful, but that's it."

"No, she is more than beautiful, she is breathtaking!"

"I think they just had a fight."

"They fought?"

"I think not. They are still dating. Could it be that she slept at her family's house?"

Among the questions that were murmured some of them were almost right, while some speculations could be called absurd.

Ingrid ignored all of this and made no effort to correct them. She went to Luan's office and knocked on the door.

"Luan, I'm here," Ingrid said.

"You may come in." Luan's voice reached her.

"Luan, sorry for the delay," Ingrid said as she opened the door.

"Come here." Luan told her to come closer.

"Okay." Ingrid walked around the table and went over to him. Luan pulled her up and made her sit on his lap. "Kyah!"

"I missed you," Luan said with his eyes shining fervently.

Before Luan's passionate eyes, Ingrid melted in his arms. She wrapped her arms around Luan's neck and said, "I missed you too."

The two kissed for the next few minutes until Ingrid got up and left Luan's office flushed, but satisfied.

Luan has been monitoring Samuel Hamibo for days. Today, he saw Samuel Hamibo go into an isolated place and then take a boat and head for an island that was considered to be uninhabited.

'Unfortunately, drones do not yet have such a long range and cannot yet be controlled via WIFI...' Luan thought of creating one, but so far he had not seen much need, since who he wanted to protect was close to his reach. But now, he saw that it might be necessary, as well as creating a special satellite for personal use.

Despite not being able to get any more information, Luan treated that nearby island as a suspicious place. Now he was still at the company, but later when he had time, he planned to go there and investigate.

Furthermore, now that he had confirmed that Samuel was indeed acting suspicious, he first intended to capture him and get as much information out of him as possible. No matter what angle one looked at it, the fact that Monica died of acid was strange. There was no reason for acid to have been there. It was implanted by someone, and Luan distrusted Samuel.

*

At the end of the night, Luan was in his room. That's when he noticed that Samuel's boat was finally coming back. Luan left his house with the personalized mask he had created and used his speed to run through the city until he got close to the sea and found Samuel.

"What?" Samuel, who saw a strange man with a mask that appeared to be made of bones, took several steps back, reached for his waist, and took out a pistol, shouting aggressively, "Back off or else I'm going to shoot!"

Of course, it was Luan who had appeared in front of Samuel Hamibo, and before Samuel could shoot, Luan, without saying a single word, grabbed Samuel Hamibo's wrist and the gun fell to the ground when Samuel's wrist was crushed. Samuel cried out in pain, but his mouth was covered with transparent tape made of Qi.

Luan was not at all gentle when he put his hand on Samuel Hamibo's head and began to sift through his memories.

After everything that happened, just as Samuel risked getting divorced and losing a good deal of his money, Samuel's eldest son came to him. He, who had been away in the army for a long time and returned shortly, said that if Samuel wanted to recover everything he lost and more, he would need to follow the orders of someone far superior to ordinary humans.

That was when Luan saw that Samuel was taken somewhere by his eldest son and saw that it was the island from which Samuel Hamibo had just returned.

On the island the whole place was obscure, with almost no sunlight and very cold. In the center of the island, a mountain had been hollowed out to form a castle, and inside the castle there was a man... He was ghostly, and it was difficult to distinguish his figure correctly, but he was dark and radiated an aura of dominance.

The ghostly man had on his side the same slave ghost that Luan had seen before. That was a big surprise for him. Luan continued to observe the memories.

The ghostly man wanted to make a pact with Samuel. If he became his subordinate, he would help Samuel Hamibo. All Samuel had to do was get vengeful souls. It was also this same man who planned out how to kill Monica and said that if Samuel's son Wagner Hamibo was to swallow a quail egg-sized crystal, Wagner would go crazy and kill the closest person he resented. In this case, it was Monica, who was in the next room.

Samuel was reluctant to do that, but then, he tried to give his son a chance. He wanted to ask for his help and wanted to be able to get everything that was his back, without having to send his son to jail. But even with that, he had already implanted the acid in Monica's room and left the can easy to open.

Then he went to Wagner Hamibo's room and tried to convince his son to help win back his mother. However, the result was what he expected: Wagner refused to help. It made him no longer feel sorry for his son and so he showed Wagner the video of Monica and himself having sex.

And then, when he left, Wagner went crazy.

'So that's it...' Luan sighed. It all made sense now.

And Luan noticed that that ghost man was close to the Third Order, which was a big surprise.

Luan controlled Samuel Hamibo's mind and made him go to the police station and confess what he did. After Samuel did that, it wouldn't be too late for Luan to kill him later.

Knowing that there was a real culprit behind the death of Monica and Wagner could help Amanda and Armanda recover a little. Without having a culprit, people started to blame themselves and each other for something like that. It was human nature to feel better about blaming someone or even Satan for something bad that happened.

Afraid that the same ghost would appear and kill Samuel Hamibo when going to the police station, Luan followed him through the shadows, hiding his presence.

What he expected did not happen. That ghost did not appear even when Samuel Hamibo arrived at the police station.

Samuel confessed everything and said that he gave his son a strange drug and made his son think that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He also made Samuel say he did it because Monica rejected him and did it in a time of anger when he saw an opportunity.
