Chapter 5: A Perfectionist?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Through the surveillance camera, everyone was shocked and panicked when they realized that Jerry Mac had fallen into the sea.

When they came back to their senses, they immediately called the police.

The police were also shocked when they heard the news. After all, Jerry Mac was a very influential man in Gotham City.

Especially the large financial group behind him, which was definitely the biggest taxpayers of Gotham City.

So, when they heard about the news about Jerry Mac, the police immediately arranged experts to take over the case.

They also arranged the best salvage experts to search for Jerry Mac’s body.

It seemed that the police force in Gotham City was undeniably efficient.

Just three hours after the police call, Jerry Mac’s body was found in the sea.

The autopsy had been revealed, and everyone could not do anything but accept his cause of death.

Jerry Mac accidentally fell into the sea because he had been drinking too much.

Although the reason for his death sounded obscure, through the surveillance and body autopsy, it seemed completely logical.

When news of Jerry Mac’s death was widely reported, Hughes’ bank account received a large transfer of $500,000.

After seeing the transfer of the funds through a notification on his phone, Hughes immediately went to the hospital to pay for his sister’s medical debt.

After that, he went to his sister’s ward.

When the door was opened, his sister was lying on the bed eating the breakfast he had prepared yesterday. The television was broadcasting the news and information about Jerry Mac’s death.

Seeing Hughes was entering, his sister put down the lunch box in her hand and smiled sweetly. “Brother, you don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself here.”

“It’s okay. I’m not busy,” Hughes said gently while stroking his sister’s forehead.

Listening to his words, his sister slowly lowered her head.

She looked like she was about to speak but was silent for a long time.

In the end, she seemed to have made a great decision before she mustered up her courage, and carefully said, “Brother, actually, you don’t have to be so tired. My illness can’t be cured, and I can only rely on high medical expenses to maintain my life. In fact, you can totally give up…”

“Nonsense!”

Hughes interrupted his sister’s words.

“But… We don’t even have that much money.”

“You don’t have to worry about these things. You just need to rest well.”

“Brother…”

Hearing the unquestionable tone of Hughes, Xiu Rui slightly choked.

She had been relying on her brother since young. Her brother had always cared for her and allowed her to do anything just to make her happy.

Even in this situation, her brother had never thought of giving up on her. Xiu Rui wanted to cry.

But facing Hughes… Facing such a firm brother that was so determined to treat her, even far more determined than herself, Xiu Rui did not cry. Instead, she raised her head and forced a bright smile. She nodded heavily at her brother and said, “Yes, Brother, I will definitely work hard to get better!”

“That’s right!”

Seeing that his sister’s attitude had changed, Hughes smiled.

Then, after chatting with his sister, Hughes went home because he had some important things to do.

…

Meanwhile, the investigators sent by the assassination website also returned to the headquarters.

They reported the latest investigation to the management of the headquarters.

The investigators gave the same conclusion as the police.

Jerry Mac was drunk and died in the sea by accident.

Listening to the final conclusion, all the leaders were surprised and felt it was incredible in the conference room.

It was said before that the assassination mission of Jerry Mac had been put on hold for a long time and no one had accepted it.

Frankly speaking, it was very difficult to assassinate a big plutocrat like Jerry Mac.

Moreover, his death had to look like an accident.

Even the top management subconsciously knew that this kind of mission was almost impossible to complete.

To their surprise, this impossible mission had been completed by a rookie who had just registered.

Not only did he complete it in a very short time, but his method was also so clean and neat that there was not even a trace of him killing.

If it weren’t for the fact that someone had accepted and submitted this mission, and after watching the conclusion report and the surveillance camera, the management would all feel as if this was indeed an accident.

“Can you investigate more about this registered account called Puppeteer?”

“Also, did you notice any suspects on the yacht?”

“Even if it was an accident, the killer should have been on the yacht, right? Otherwise, how could he assassinate him?”

The big boss in the middle of the meeting room asked a series of questions.

“We have already investigated. We also conducted a detailed investigation here. All the people on the yacht were personally invited by Jerry Mac himself. They are all his most trusted people. No one is suspicious there,”

“Plus, there are quite a number of bodyguards on the yacht. Even if the assassins wanted to make a move, they wouldn’t have the time or space to do so.”

“In addition, we have also obtained all the information on this account called Puppeteer from the website. There is no information at all.”

…

The investigators reported one by one.

Listening to these reports, not only the big boss, but the others also fell into a state of shock once again.

This was a little too outrageous.

Putting aside how strong this Puppeteer was, the most important thing was that he was actually able to escape under the surveillance of their assassin website. This was completely out of their expectations.

After all, they were different from the outside world. They knew the true story about Jerry Mac’s death.

But even though they clearly knew that he was the one who killed Jerry Mac, they still couldn’t find any useful information. This was a little too brilliant.

…

The big boss looked at the surrounding crowd and asked, “Could it be that this is an account that was registered by an expert out of boredom?”

Other than this, the big boss could not believe that a rookie was able to complete such a difficult mission.

The most important thing was that it was completed flawlessly.

“But if he is an expert, wouldn’t he be able to receive a higher commission if he used his own account to accept the mission? You have to know that we receive a very high commission from newbies.”

A gray-haired old man next to the big boss at the conference table analyzed, “If we have to give an explanation, we can only say that this person who completed this mission is professional. He does not care about the commission at all. What he cares about is the completion rate of the missions in this account.”

“Could it be that he is a perfectionist?”

“A perfectionist? Yes, it should be.”

“Yes, other than a perfectionist, who would do such a boring thing?”

“Yes, it should be one of those handful of perfectionists.”

Everyone in the meeting room nodded one after another.

After all, this was the only acceptable explanation for them.
