The Hero

Episode 448 Choose Your Own Method of Death

Javier has used everything in his power to investigate the matter, but the feedback he received when he woke up the next day was disappointing.

They all found nothing, absolutely nothing! After retracing all Nathaniel's transactions, they were able to find his bank account.

However, the money has been segmented into smaller accounts, which is exactly the same as when Reivaj Group was financially denounced in the past…

Everything is untraceable. Meanwhile, Alyssa's phone records were completely broken. Similarly, someone has hacked his phone records through a proxy and deleted everything.

Thus, the power lurking in these shadows once again returned to endless darkness, preventing anyone from knowing of its existence.

Even though Javier was prepared for this to happen, he still felt a little unhappy.

Fortunately, his trip that day was not in vain. He was in a better mood due to the fact that he had saved Suzanne and the others from the research team.

That morning, several buses transported all members of the medical research team to the airport.

They were all checked on the Kerseys plane, so they did not need to have passports at all.

On the way to the airport, Javier sees the overseas scenery from the window.

He might have seen the scene, but he was actually thinking about the power hiding in the darkness.

'What is going on in this world?'

Every minute that Javier passes unable to find who they are, he feels increasingly anxious. In fact, it's not just him. Javier believes all families have the same thoughts.

They were ships from various countries sailing in the vast ocean, but there was a very powerful nuclear-powered submarine hiding at sea. This submarine belongs to no one. Plus, it had launched an attack against the mass of ships before, so who might not feel worried about that?

'Damn it...'

Javier cursed in his mind, obviously very unhappy with his current situation.

Just at that moment, Shawn Moses, Suzanne's assistant from the research team, walked to the seat behind Suzanne.

“Bos, I don't think this is a good idea. We shouldn't blindly go with someone else. No matter what his motives are or whether he has ulterior motives related to us or not. he doesn't seem to have enough money to fund our research even though he wants it.”.

'The EQ of this guy is really low ... Did his mother throw it away when he was a baby? Is that why he has no EQ at all?

'I guess it's normal for him to think like that, but isn't he just looking for trouble by saying this out loud?”

Javier can more or less guess why Shawn behaved that way when he realised he was in his late 20s.

'She might just try to seduce him ...!

Suzanne turns and looks at Javier but realizes that Javier has an indescribable smile on his face.

When she saw this smile, she couldn't help but remember the night Javier pressed her against the door and kissed her. Then, he shot her with a sharp look.

However, as much as Javier's jerk, Suzanne still believes in his personality.

“We will return to our country first. Then, we will make a contract with him. We have enough freedom and the law is with us, so we'll be fine.”

Suzanne uses reasonable reasoning from a logical point of view to persuade Shawn, as well as his other colleagues on the bus.

According to Javier, Suzanne is indeed a very intelligent woman who knows how to give the best results when trying to persuade someone.

However, even though everyone had accepted what he said, Shawn still refused to accept it.

"Trs. Kersey, I heard you're pretty rich. But do you know how much money it takes to build a research facility? Do you know how much it costs to build a standard-compliant trial laboratory and purchase all related equipment and testing sites?”

Javier honestly replied, "No, I don't know how much it will cost."

Sure enough, Javier doesn't know how much it will cost. Instead, he only knew that he would be able to afford it as long as there was a price tag.

On the contrary, Shawn did not think so…

“It will cost you a lot of money, so much so that you will never be able to understand it. It seems you are not helping us this time.

In fact, you will get a lot of trouble if you are unable to build the right research facility for us, because you will ruin our future.

Javier suddenly realizes that although he may think he is doing something good, others may disagree with him.

'I wanted to bring them back to their country and give them freedom by giving them an entire medical research facility, but it was clear that some of them were not in line. Then, Javier asked Shawn, "Do you mean you'd rather be stuck there with the money you have than go back to your own country?"

Shawn sneered, “If all that's left for me in my country is the life of a doctor and a few thousand dollars a month, I'd rather be stuck there and have the money I can get. What is the point of freedom for me if I can't even be sure that I will have enough money to live the way I want?”

"Enough!"

Shawn was still talking, but Suzanne angrily stopped him.

“You can get off this bus if you don't want freedom. No one is forcing you to return to your country!”

Suzanne was embarrassed by Shawn's thoughts.

He felt that he was already very tempted by money, and his mind only thought about it at a certain moment. 'Will it kill him if he has no money?!'

Seeing Suzanne grow furious, Shawn hurriedly said, “I didn't mean it like that, Boss. I don't do it for money, honestly. I just do it for everyone. For you.. i...”.

Suzanne waved her hand. "I don't want to listen to you anymore."

After saying that, he told everyone on the bus, "If any of you don't want to go home, they can get off the bus now and stay here."

He is very stubborn, which fits his role as their leader.

In fact, no one actually got off the bus. What should they do after Nathaniel dies? They actually lost their jobs and did not have passports, so they had to stay and beg for more money after they spent their savings, with no eligibility to return to their own country after that. Seeing that everyone remained silent, Shawn did not dare to say anything more.

He returned to his seat and looked at Javier. Once again, an enormous hatred was welling up inside him. In fact, he hates Javier every second.

Finally, he could not help but say, “Master. Kersey, how about we help you save money? We can collect some money and pay for your flight.”

Javier smiled and asked, “Have you ever seen someone get sucked into an airplane engine? The head enters first, then the neck, followed by the shoulders and body until, finally the legs and feet enter. Then, there's absolutely nothing. "If you like something like that, I don't mind letting you experience it personally."

Shawn kept his mouth shut, feeling a sense of disgust in his stomach as he imagined the scene in his mind. He did not want to turn into a lump of meat. Javier leaned back in his chair and looked around him. “I believe some of the people you have here are just as stupid as Shawn. I have saved you all because of kindness and now I take you back to your country and give you a new job, but you all think that I have ruined your wonderful future.

“I just realized that rather than talking to all of you respectfully, it would be much more useful to threaten you with your lives. Just look at Shawn. He did not even dare to say a word right now because he was afraid of death.

“I think you who see him as your representative are really idiots. Do I have to treat you all like dogs and beat you with sticks before you learn how to behave and keep your mouth shut? Definitely not, right? You guys are people, so why should you be tamed?

“However, the truth is still undeniable. A good heart sometimes cannot beat an iron hand.

“Alright then….Since you guys love playing this game, I'll come play.

“Whoever wants to go, now is your chance. You can all choose your own method of death!
