Chapter 270 100th EPISODE [BLIND JUSTICE] (IV)

THE scene picked up to Remi’s uncle – Osmond Montgomery. He was sitting in the study and reading the report on his nephew. The more he read, the uglier the expression on his face became. If he didn’t send his personal assistant to investigate these things, he probably wouldn’t be able to learn about it until it’s already too late.

He gritted his teeth. “Very good. You truly proved you’re your father’s son, Remington.”

On the report written on the virtual screen, Remington had never gone to the school that he enrolled him to. If that was all, it wouldn’t really be much of a problem. But the thing was, he had been receiving annual reports about the other’s grades and his performance at school. 

He always received that report on time. And what’s written on there was Remington’s barely passable grades and bad performance. He asked the school to send him this report so he could monitor his nephew’s progress. 

When he received the first report, he sneered and thought, ‘sure enough, if you don’t give a wolf’s cub a way to grow into a proper wolf, it would simply grow into a toothless dog’. 

This was the reason why he sent Remington to a third-rate planet. So, the child who just lost his parents would mature into a coward and stupid adult. This way, even if the other became an adult, he wouldn’t be a match to him. And Montgomery Consortium would remain in his hands. 

But what the f— was this? If Remington hadn’t attended the school he sent him to, then who the hell was sending him these reports? Then, there were also those reports sent by the spies he planted in the mansion where his nephew lived. According to his assistant, those spies had long been removed from the mansion. If they were no longer there, then again, who was sending him the reports? And why did none of them contacted him if they were forced to leave the mansion?

Did this mean that Remington dealt with all of them? At the same time, he also managed to convince the school to send him false reports? No, impossible. How could a kid like that managed to do all those things? Someone must have been helping him. Maybe one of his brother or sister-in-law’s friends?

Osmond closed his eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of his nose. Damn those two. They’re already dead but they’re still causing him problems.

No, this was his own negligence. He should have been more thorough. But in the past years, he had been complacent. Thinking that there’s no way that brat, Remington could shake his current position. He never considered the possibility that someone could help the other.

But that’s alright. It’s not too late to do anything. There’s still a year left before Remington became an adult. He still had time to rectify this situation. He just had to find a breakthrough.

He continued to read the file sent to him by his assistant. And soon, a creepy smile crossed his lips. 

Osmond stared at the picture of a black-haired teenager. He just found his breakthrough.

———-

The next scene was in the town near the village where Remi’s mansion was located. A black-haired teenager was walking in a supermarket, checking out different produce as he walked. 

Groceries were usually delivered to the mansion. So, Noa wasn’t really used to grocery shopping. But just after lunch, the cook in the mansion asked him if he could go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. According to the cook, these ingredients were somehow missing from the delivery at the start of this week. 

The one who would usually go to the market to buy things like this suddenly called in sick today. There weren’t many servants at the mansion because the young master didn’t really like many people invading his ‘territory’. Since there was no one else to do the job, when the cook asked him, he didn’t hesitate to agree. 

After he finished buying everything that he needed, he checked out and paid. He walked out of the supermarket carrying the things he bought. If the young master saw him like this, he would definitely scold him. After all, the other had given him one of those space stones. 

But Noa didn’t want to use something so precious just for something like this. It wasn’t even needed in this situation since he could simply carry the things he was about to buy. 

He walked towards the part of the parking lot where he parked the land vehicle. But before he could reach it, he suddenly felt a sting on his nape. As if it was bitten by some insect. And then, he suddenly felt dizzy. Before he could even think what was happening, everything just went dark.

Remi cracked his neck from side to side. He reached for the cup on his desk but somehow missed the handle, making the cup fall on the floor and shattered. He stared at the shattered pieces of ceramics on the floor. He didn’t know why but his heart was suddenly filled with dread. As if something bad was about to happen.

He looked at the clock and was surprised to see that it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. Normally, at this time, Noa would come nagging at him to remind him to rest. But weirdly enough, the other didn’t come. The feeling of dread suddenly became stronger.

Did something happen to Noa? That’s the first thought that popped up in his mind.

He shook his head. No, he’s definitely worrying for no reason at all. But still, he stood up and left his work room. 

He was about to contact Noa using his Terminal, to ask the other where he was, when his Terminal rang first. The ring tone was for someone trying to request a video call to him. He opened his Terminal and saw that it was an unknown number. 

He frowned. Normally, he wouldn’t answer such calls. But because of the unexplainable worry he’s feeling, he clicked ‘accept’. But not before running a program to trace the call.

When the call came through, what he saw on the screen made his pupils dilate in shock.
