Chapter 1302
In an instant, Nova became the person whom everyone blamed. He was also suspected of money laundering because the events that happened in Zane Corporation were too bizarre.
So, he was brought to the police station for investigation. Many issues were revealed after the investigation started.
One of the problems was particularly severe. If proven true, Nova would face the death penalty.
The investigators discovered that Nova had secretly made people produce illegal drugs. The drugs were even on the market.
Nova was initially calm as he thought the investigation was merely a formality. Because he indeed did not tamper with the company's financial records, the investigators would not find any problems regarding it.
He only realized the seriousness of the situation when he was being questioned about the illegal drugs. "Wh-What illegal drugs? I'm a law-abiding citizen. I've never used any illegal drugs."
The interrogator clarified, "It's not about using illegal drugs. It's about you manufacturing them. Nova Zane, be honest. Confess, and you'll get a lighter sentence. Resist, and you'll face harsh punishment."
Nova smiled as he said, "Before you all try to frame me, you should at least show me something that you can intimidate me with. You've got nothing. How am I supposed to trust you all?"
Right after Nova finished speaking, a familiar figure approached him. "Nova, I've gathered all the evidence you want."
Nova felt a chill in his chest when he saw the person. "Raymond, what are you talking about?"
Raymond responded, "Did you really think that you could make me betray Mr. Zane just by threatening me with my family?
"Before I was capable and when I had nothing, Mr. Zane was the person who helped me. He sponsored my education at the world's best school. He then provided me with a job that allowed me to show my abilities.
"He's not only my superior but also the person who helped me. I wouldn't have achieved what I have without him. Not only am I willing to risk my life for him, but my only family too."
Nova responded, "So, you two were playing mind games with me?"
Raymond answered, "How could we collect evidence of your crimes without first gaining your trust and getting into your inner circle?"
Then, Nova belatedly realized something. "So, when I made you deceive Abigail into getting into my car, Xander knew about it in advance?"
Raymond replied, "Of course."
Nova chuckled. "Back then, I thought he was a romantic fool. Turns out, he used his wife to place you around me."
Raymond responded, "He didn't use Abigail. He carried out this plan with a hundred percent guarantee of Abigail's safety."
Nova replied, "A hundred percent? How could he be so sure that I wouldn't do anything to her before he came?"
Raymond remained silent.
Nova continued saying, "In the end, he just didn't love her enough. And because of that, Abigail became a pawn he could use at will. He didn't consider whether she'd get hurt in his plan because he didn't love her enough."
Raymond said, "What's the point of saying all this now?"
Nova replied, "Why would it be pointless? If I fight against him again, I'll never believe that he's someone capable of love."
To Raymond, Xander was deeply devoted.
He did not want to continue arguing with Nova. "Nova, you'll never have the chance to fight against my boss again. You should strive for redemption in hell and see if you'll have the chance to be reborn as a human in your next life. Otherwise, living countless lifetimes as a pig or a dog would be incredibly miserable."
Nova responded, "How dare you?! If you speak nonsense again, I'll ruin you!"
Raymond said, "Who do you think you are? Why would I be afraid of you?"
