THE USELESS SON-IN-LAW REBIRTH

CHAPTER 4: WHO KILLED THOMAS

Hearing his mother-in-law's voice, Thomas felt like his head was about to explode. Life had no limit to how embarrassing it could get. With lightning speed, he stuffed the 30 dollars into his shirt and turned around, smiling, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why will I steal from my daughter? I was...just thinking that this piggy bank is a bit old, and I wanted to buy a new one for her!"

Seeing his mother-in-law's face about to erupt like a volcano, he quickly put down the piggy bank and said, "Um, l'm going to look for a job now. After saying that he ran out of the house.

Thomas, holding the 30 dollars, rode a second-hand electric bike to the front desk of a place called Queen’s Internet Hub. "Hey, isn't this Peter?"

"What are you doing here instead of playing games with your friends? We don't have any gambling tables here. A woman sitting at the front desk, looking at her nails, looked at Thomas with a sarcastic expression. She looked about twenty-five years old, wearing a black gown, with a tall and curvy shape. She

should have been quite pretty, but the heavy smoky makeup was very off-putting. Another young girl next to her looked at Thomas in surprise and said, "Nancy, is he not the man who sold his wife? The gambler who lay in a coffin for three days and then came back to life? How rare..." Her monkey-like eyes made Thomas frown.

Good things don't go beyond the doorstep, but bad news spreads far and wide. Even though the truth was clarified on the spot, the rumors still spread with embellishments. He searched through his memories and finally recognized the beautiful woman in front of him as Keira, a high school classmate of Peter. Her family background was much better than his, as her father was the mayor of the Town. The internet café they were in was owned by her. There was also the past. During a class mountain climbing activity, Keira sprained and dislocated her foot Peter helped her by resetting the dislocated bone. After that, Keira developed a crush on him, a poor boy, and even wrote a love letter to confess her feelings. However, Peter rejected her in front of their classmates, causing Keira to lose face and harbor resentment towards him.

As he recalled these memories, Thomas suddenly remembered that Peter’s grandfather was a Traditional bone setting healer, and Peter had learned this skill from him since childhood. After graduating from high school, Peter relied on this skill to support his family.

"I want to make use of a computer here," Thomas calmly said, seemingly unaffected by the women's conversation. Seeing Thomas' indifferent expression, Keira sneered and said, "ID card and a 200 deposit."

A 200 dollar for deposit? It was too expensive, and he only had 30 dollars with him. At this moment, a young man rushed in and threw his ID card on the counter, saying, I want to make use of your computer." Keira responded and the girl next to her immediately took him to one of the computers. Thomas frowned and asked, "Why doesn't he need to pay a 200 deposit?"

Keira snorted, "Because he didn't place a bet on his wife, didn’t commit suicide, and didn’t rise from the dead. I don’t know what you are doing here if you don’t have the money. You might as well go home and wash your mother-in-law's feet. Who knows, she might even dash you some money if she’s feeling generous.

Thomas frowned deeply. "I'm only with 30 dollars now, but I can pay you the balance later. I have something urgent to do, is that okay?" Thomas put the money on the counter.

The front desk girl looked at the money with a frown on her face. "Are you kidding us? You only have 30 dollars on you, how are you going to pay later? Get out of here, we don't welcome people like you." Thomas was already arrogant by nature. Upon hearing this, he grabbed the money on the counter and was about to leave. He didn't they didn’t allow him to use the computer.

However, Keira suddenly said, "Allow him." The front desk girl said, "Miss Keira, we can't trust this guy." Keira waved her hand. "Just allow him."

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing Thomas thank you, Keira’s mouth twitched. She watched his movements as he sat down at a nearby seat, her eyes complex but full of disappointment. What did she like about him back then?

Stupid!

The online game that Thomas was playing was called "Legend of Eldoria" and was extremely popular. Almost every internet café had installed the game, and the Internet Café was no exception, so there was no need to d******d it. Soon, Thomas logged into the game. The next second, a monster's cry came,

"Oh my god, HexSnare, Echo is online!"

Thomas was stunned for a moment, looking at the game, his character's name was Echo.

In the next moment, Thomas received a message in the game -

HexSnare: "Echo, long time no see, where have you been recently? Nothing happened, right?"

She was a girl from the same guild as Thomas and was very good at playing games. Thomas often played games with her to relax after work, and she was always willing to help. With Thomas's high combat power as a paying player, the two of them almost dominated the entire server and were known as the "perfect couple" in the game.

To Thomas, she gave the impression of a college student.

Thomas typed casually: "Well, somppened! I'm planning to sell my equipment or account this time. I need money. Do you know anyone who wants to buy?" HexSnare didn't reply for a long time. But as soon as the news came out, the entire server was in an uproar. Even public channels were involved in the public bidding, and the price skyrocketed to two hundred thousand. Thomas was not surprised by this.

Five minutes later.

The transaction was successful and the money was in Peter’s account.

Of course, in reality, no one knew that Echo was Thomas.

...

After receiving the two hundred thousand. Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to leave his mother-in-law's house again.

Then, he searched "Velox Group" on the browser, and a series of news articles came up. The top one was: "Divine Fingers Thomas, died suddenly on his wedding night, trillion-dollar company has been handed over to Lucas Black." Thomas was shocked when he saw it.

Died suddenly?

Impossible!

On his wedding night, he had drunk quite a bit with the guests, but he clearly remembered that he was killed by his cousin with a stick as soon as he entered the bridal chamber. He didn't even have time to lift the veil of his newlywed wife. How could it be a sudden death?

So why was there such news?

Why didn't Emily come forward to clarify Therefore, it was he who was betrayed!

It was his newlywed wife who, together with Lucas, killed him and took all his property!

For a moment, Thomas felt dizzy.

"Boom!"

He punched the keyboard. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The keycaps of the entire keyboard popped out and were flying in all directions.
