I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 546. The other’s Reaction
Chapter 546: 546. The other’s Reaction
Dylan arched his eyebrows. "He has the ability, but I don’t know what his reason is. Why do you suddenly think about him?"
"The date," Anna replied. "I saw him that day and it’s within five minutes away from the time when Sean appeared with the box containing the information."
Dylan was surprised.
He looked at the time stamp but didn’t really remember it. At that time, he must be busy because of other things so he didn’t notice Derek passing by.
Thinking about that young man and also his question to Anna...
Derek was indeed a bit suspicious.
But so far, he didn’t seem to show any malice towards them and Dylan was not such a busybody that he would research everyone.
"I can try to ask for some people to keep watch on him, but there’s no guarantee that he’s truly involved. Besides, I won’t take any action if he’s not doing anything that’s detrimental to us," Dylan said.
Since they were technically business partner, then this matter would have been quite easy for Dylan.
Anna nodded. "Yeah. It’s fine."
She just found him a bit suspicious, but she didn’t really care even if it was Derek who was truly behind the scene. Because she knew that even if it was him, there was no point in them doing anything.
Besides, Anna didn’t want to make a lot of enemies herself.
So even if they did find what he did, it was more likely they would stay quiet and didn’t do anything in the end.
"Come in, let’s rest."
"Okay."
"Meow."
"You too, Kitty."
"Meow~."
...
The Williams Family
The death of Mr. Williams’s son some time ago had already crushed the man’s spirit. He tried his best to find his son, but all search result eventually turned futile. This made him feel really helpless.
It was just that there was nothing that he could do.
Betty was still a bit close to Jake, but looking at their attitude that seemed to be distancing themselves from each other, Mr. Williams felt that the relationship between the two people were not very good.
Not to mention, Jake often went out to fight against the big mutated animals and simply had no time to accompany Betty.
It was more like, he didn’t want to accompany her, though.
Mr. Williams was annoyed, but feelings couldn’t be forced and all he could do was to try creating more chances for him.
The problem was that Mr. Williams simply had no time to do that.
He was so busy that he couldn’t possibly be more busier. The construction work was already snapped by so many people that Mr. Williams sometimes couldn’t contend for it. Even if he was an awakened person, there were many other awakened who competed with him.
Why?
Naturally because the mortality rate for those who come out to fight those big mutated animals were far higher.
This made people who were relatively weaker in their ability unwilling to come out.
They would rather stay behind and do other works that would not require them to bet on their lives but still give them generous contribution point. The construction work was not done yet, so they were all competing for this work.
Because of this, Mr. Williams finally could only take the factory work.
Only in this work would it be possible for Mr. Williams to earn some contribution points that was enough for his family to live.
Mrs. Williams was also dragged to work and every single day, they would feel that they were so tired.
Betty was the only one who didn’t.
Because she had snatched other jobs and Mr. Williams didn’t care too much about her. Looking at how she seemed to be getting fatter, even he could guess that his daughter was living off a relatively god life.
But he didn’t disturb her.
After having his contribution points halved back then, Mr. Williams asked to separate his daughter’s account with him. Anyway, she was already old enough to open up an account by herself and let her do her own work.
There was only one thing, though, they were all still living together.
And today, they were eating together when they heard an explosive news.
The Davis Family was destroyed.
The reason was that they had a fight with the Mason Family and the Davis Family lost completely.
"What?" Mr. Williams was stunned. "The Davis Family lost?"
"Yes." The neighbor sighed deeply. "No one would have thought that the powerful Davis Family would suddenly fall like this. And the reason was also so ridiculous."
"If it’s because of those big mutated animals out there, it would have been more acceptable."
"Right."
These neighbors were discussing things while Mr. Williams took a deep breath.
His son used to be a member of the Davis Family even if it was only the recruitment member. Not to mention, he didn’t really hide it either and tried to sign up too. But because of his age, they refused him.
Now, Mr. Williams heard that the Davis Family was no more.
This made their family’s situation even more desperate.
"Jake..." Mrs. Williams’ mind was thinking about someone else. "He’s also part of the Davis Family, right?"
She was thinking that her daughter could establish a good relationship with Jake, which would help them greatly. But after this incident, she realized that Jake might even get implicated.
This made her feel dizzy.
’It’s over....’
While they were despairing, Betty only snorted and didn’t think too much. She was no longer focusing on Jake in the past few months and had hooked with other people. Even if it was not as comfortable as before, but her life was not that bad.
Still, Betty felt annoyed when she thought about her half sister.
Why is it have to be the Davis Family that was destroyed?
Why is it not the Daniels Family?
For Betty, it would be better for Anna to die.
She didn’t want to hear about her in the slightest bit.
