The Son-in-Law's Revenge Against the Elites

Chapter 012 - Dirty Hands

Two weeks later, Irving arrives at the agreed spot with a briefcase. He hands it over to Rohan after they shake hands.

“It’s all here,” he tells him. “I hope this is enough to keep your silence.”

Rohan grins and opens the case. Inside are stacks of hundred-dollar bills. “It’s more than enough, Irving.”

“Here,” he says. “James, also give you a plane ticket to get out of the country.”

“To keep track of me?” Rohan smirks. “I don’t think that’s needed.”

“He just wants to make sure.”

Rohan whistles. “But I think you will soon ask for my help.”

Irving stares at him. “What do you mean?”

A cruel look appears on Rohan’s face. “Be careful dealing with the elites, Irving. They are people you won’t be able to handle.”

“I can handle James just fine.”

Rohan guffaws. “If you say so, be happy with your partner.”

“And good luck with your plans,” Irving says before walking away.

Rohan waves at him. He has already planned his next move. He needs to take care of some other people first. And soon, he will have the first laugh.

****************

The morning is chilly, but it doesn’t bother Rohan much. Kyndra said that instead of dirtying his hands, letting other people do it is better. The thought made him laugh as he walks towards the park. Who would have thought that he will change this much after that close brush with death?

And so Rohan stays under the tree and waits. As he was researching James Yu, he discovered that no one hates James, but there are a lot who hate his mother. So much that to hurt her, they would like to hurt James as well.

After waiting for almost half an hour, he sees someone approaching. It is a woman wearing a black coat and matching pants. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, and she is wearing a pair of eyeglasses. She looks young and innocent, but something about her makes him believe otherwise.

“Hello,” he greets her. “You are Hera?” he asks. It sounds like a pseudonym.

She nods. “Yes, I am.” She looks around to see if someone is listening. “You have some information about Alice Yu for me?”

“Yes.” Rohan pulls out the envelope from his coat pocket and hands it to her. “That’s everything I found out about James Yu. Alice Yu’s only son.”

“I don’t need any information about Alice Yu’s son. That old woman is a monster. Do you think he will care about her gay child?!”

“James is her son, no matter what his sexual preference is.”

She grimaces. “Seems like you are new to this vengeance against the Yu’s.”

She is correct. However, Rohan’s target is not just the Yu’s. And so far, he is achieving results compared to these people who hated these families for a long time.

She scans through the pages quickly. “This is good work. I can use this,” she says.

Rohan smirks at her. “And? We talked that you are going to pay me for the information.”

She gives him a glare. “I’m not paying you anything until I confirm this information is true.”

Rohan chuckles. “Then hand it back to me.”

“No. You are lucky I decided to meet you in person,” Hera says. “Do you know why?”

Rohan tilts his head slightly. “Because you had no choice?”

She scoffs. “I can easily kill you now.” She takes out a knife from her pocket and points it at Rohan.

Rohan doesn’t flinch or show any fear. Instead, he guffaws. When his laughter subsides, he responds, “Is that so? You want to kill me now?“

“Yes,” she growls. “To keep your mouth shut.”

“In that way, you will lose your only information broker.”

“An expensive information broker.”

Rohan shrugs his shoulders. Then, he suddenly moves towards her. He places both his hands on her chest and pushes her backward. Before she falls, he grabs her knife and throws it aside. Hera grunts and struggles to stand again.

“Don’t bother, Hera. I am a personal trainer. And one of our physical activities is self-defense and other forms of combat.”

She tries to kick him, but he dodges them all. He uses his legs to push her down and punches her hard on her jaw. She groans. Rohan kneels beside her and smiles at her. “Do you still want to kill me?”

She glares at him. “I should have brought a gun,” she hisses.

“You are not very good at this, are you? How many years have you hated Alice Yu?”

She spits at him. “You think I’m afraid of you?”

“I don’t know, but I need the money.”

Hera stares at him with hateful eyes. Rohan gropes her body and searches for any valuable things. Only a cell phone, wallet, and a watch.

“What do you think you are doing?!”

“Is this all you have?”

“You bastard! You...” She struggles against him. Thankfully, no one’s around yet.

Rohan laughs. “You are playing a difficult game, Hera. However, the next time you ask for information, be aware that I will take a bit more from you.”

He stands up and leaves her there. Rohan thinks she will rush after him as soon as he steps away. However, she stays sprawled on the ground, looking daggers at him.
