The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 833 DEDUCTION (III)

　　EVERYONE in the room showed a shocked expression. The husband and wife – Richard and Sorcha's face were particularly ugly. They were probably thinking of that night. The lost they lost their son, Sean.

　　The one with the most lost expression was Cian. At this point, he probably had already an idea of what's happening. Not only him, but probably most of the people here. But since Luo Yan was very kind, he still decided to explain things to everyone more thoroughly. 

　　"Catherine was most likely informed of Richard's return ahead of time. When she found out that he was returning with his wife and son, she started to formulate this plan.  That night, she was probably hoping that she could kill off everyone else in Richard's family, including his wife. But who would have thought that Sorcha would not accompany him back to England? 

　　"My guess was, Sorcha was heavily pregnant with Cian back then that's why she couldn't accompany her husband and son here. For better or worse, it's the reason that saved her from dying that night. Now, you must be wondering why would Catherine kill someone she had never met. The reason was actually very sickening. But let's just say, she didn't take the fact that Richard left her and married another woman too kindly."

　　With that last thing he said, most of the people here, NPCs and otherwise, would probably get what he meant. Just like he said, the reason for Catherine's behavior was sickening.

　　She was in love with Richard.

　　Yes, that's right. She loved him not as a brother but in a romantic way. It could be seen in how she tried to ruin all the possible relationships Richard could have when they were younger. Dealing with all the girls who tried to get close to him. Making sure that none of them would dare to get close to him again. Going so far as pushing an innocent girl to a lake and letting her drown.

　　Even if they didn't share the same father, they're still siblings all the same. The feelings she harbored towards him was… abnormal to say it kindly. She probably went off the rails when he left, pushing her further to the darkness. So, when he returned, she wanted to make sure he would never leave.

　　But things didn't go as planned obviously. The people she wanted to kill didn't die and she ended up marrying a man like George. A controlling man who liked to act gentle when he's very much otherwise that. 

　　It's not because she wanted to punish herself. No, in Luo Yan's opinion, it's because she just wanted someone to 'own' her. Someone who would treat her as their possession. Which was very mentally retarded, mind you. 

　　This woman probably just wanted someone who would treat her in a way she wished Richard would treat her. It's sick, really. He wondered what those game devs were thinking when they designed her character. 

　　"Why would she kill people just because of that?" Harry asked, completely confused by the new information Luo Yan said.

　　"The reason she wanted to kill me, was it because Richard took care of me when we were younger?" Charles suddenly asked. There was no expression on his face. Completely different from his usual cynical self. 

　　"Yes, I believe so," Luo Yan answered.

　　"Oh my. I think my imagination is getting the best of me. But I still want to ask in case I'm wrong," 'Sofia' said before turning to Richard. "Is your sister actually in—"

　　"Don't say it," Sorcha said through gritted teeth, cutting off whatever 'Sofia' was about to say. Then, she raised her head and glared at Luo Yan. "Was there really a need for all these theatrics? Yes! That bitch planned everything! She killed my son! That monster… she deserved to die! Oh… my poor Sean…" 

　　At first Sorcha's voice was full of anger and hatred. But later on, her voice cracked and cried and sobbed in despair. Richard immediately hugged her and gently stroke her back, trying to comfort her the best way he could.

　　He looked at Luo Yan. "There's no need to continue. I will say the rest from here."

　　Luo Yan raised one of his brows at that. He didn't expect this guy to actually take the initiative. But the other interpreted his silence as him being reluctant to agree. So, he continued;

　　"You probably already know everything. There's no need for me to make things up. Sorcha and I also don't have the idea of running away. So, let me tell the rest."

　　"Please," Luo Yan said with a welcoming gesture, inviting the other to go and tell his story.

　　There's no way he would disagree. Richard volunteering like this meant that it would save him a lot of trouble. At least with Richard speaking, the others would surely not interrupt him. Which meant they could finish this dungeon much earlier. 

　　Luo Yan really wanted to leave. Even though it's probably only more than hour in the real world since they entered this dungeon, he seriously felt like they'd been here for years. 

　　"Richard…" Sorcha called, looking at her husband. Her eyes were clearly asking if it would be fine to do that.

　　Richard wiped the tears on the other's cheeks and smiled reassuringly at her. "It's alright."

　　Cian looked at all this and a complicated expression appeared on his face. 

　　Richard closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them, he started telling his side of the truth. Continuing on where Luo Yan left off. 

　　"That night, when the explosion happened, I wasn't able to quickly leave my room because someone locked it. It's easy to guess who it was. She was probably planning to let me stay there until she was sure that Father and S-Sean had died," Richard started. 

　　"My room was in the left wing, you see? Far from where the explosion happened. But the nursery where my son was staying was at the right wing. I felt adrenaline rushing through my body and I managed to leave the room after kicking it a few times. But at the end… at the end, I was still late."
