Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Chapter 40, Must be punished

Lloyd was so angry that his fat body began to tremble. Since he became the editor-in-chief, no one except his uncle dared to do this to him.

All the reporters in the newspaper were submissive to him. Even Hannah, who was full of justice, did not dare to talk back to him.

"If you don't get out, I will tell everyone that you forced Weina to death and let Weina's family beat you to death here on the spot. You may not know that Weina's father is a man who can do anything for his daughter. Even if he has to spend the rest of his life in prison, I believe he will be willing to do so."

Locke's eyes were cold and his tone was resolute.

Lloyd's eyes were wide open, looking at Locke in disbelief.

He could feel that the boy was serious. If he didn't leave, the boy would gather Weina's relatives and friends and beat him up.

Especially Weina's ferocious father, who was said to have been a prison guard in prison. Although he has retired now, his hostility is still scary.

Lloyd, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, covered his face and said, "This is slander! Slander!" while turning around and running away in a hurry.

While running away, he accidentally collided with a golden retriever that rushed over. He got up in a panic and kicked the golden retriever hard.

This golden retriever is an old friend of Weina's father, Yuli Burd. It is already 13 years old. It is usually very docile. After being kicked to the ground, it whimpered in pain.

Lloyd spat at the whimpering golden retriever, turned back and looked at Locke and Hannah with resentful eyes, and quickened his pace to leave.

And Locke also saw from his performance that Weina's death was indeed related to him.

Looking at the life bar with 50 years left on his head and the life bar of the golden retriever with only one month left.

Locke released the [Acute Hearing] skill, taking in all the sounds within a range of 100 meters. After making sure that he did not hear the two familiar voices of the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau, he activated the [Life Control] skill towards Lloyd's back.

Lloyd's life span was swapped with the golden retriever's life span.

The life bar on Lloyd's head was visibly shortened, while the life bar on the golden retriever's head began to lengthen rapidly.

Locke was sure that Yuli Bulld's golden retriever could successfully send Yuli Bulld away and accompany Ari for the rest of his life.

Locke, who had released two skills at once, was a little weak. He sat down on the lawn and gasped heavily.

Hannah thought that her brother must have been afraid because he had just slapped Lloyd hard and scolded him.

She was moved and a little worried. After getting Locke's answer that he was fine, she walked to the golden retriever and squatted down to check the situation.

Lloyd walked out of the cemetery smoothly and got on the carriage, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

The golden retriever lying on the lawn also stopped whimpering. When Hannah checked its injuries, it shook its tail and stuck out its tongue obediently.

"Great, Jerry looks fine."

Hannah breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the golden retriever's head.

"Wena just left, you can't fall down, otherwise Uncle Yuli won't be able to hold on."

The golden retriever Jerry barked, as if responding to Hannah.

The black cat watched everything silently, his eyes narrowed.

After Hannah made sure that the golden retriever was not kicked, she looked at her brother Locke nervously.

"Locke, are you sure? Wena's death is related to Lloyd."

"I heard people from the newspaper talking about this in the bathroom. I'm not sure, but his performance just now shows that this matter is likely related to him."

Locke said truthfully.

Hannah seemed to have figured it out all of a sudden, and then she fell into deep self-blame.

"It's all my fault. I should have reminded Wena. It's all my fault."

"Hannah, what do you know?"

"Lloyd had proposed that I be his mistress before. At that time, I thought he only said that to me. I was so naive. He must have told Wena and done something excessive to her. Otherwise, with Wena's character, she would never commit suicide."

Hannah said with red eyes,

"It's all my fault."

"No, you can't be blamed for this."

Locke patted Hannah's shoulder and comforted her.

The golden retriever barked again, as if to comfort Hannah.

A black cat stood on its back at some point.

Although the golden retriever was reluctant, it seemed to have no choice. The black cat suppressed it.

Every time it wanted to resist, the black cat would punish it with a cat's claw, causing Jerry to howl in pain.

Hannah would not scold Xiao Ai for a fight between a cat and a dog.

When Locke saw Irene's eyes, he knew that she had seen through everything.

He decided to find an opportunity to be alone and "confess" something to the witch Irene.

"I must make Lloyd pay the price."

Hannah clenched her fists, with anger in her eyes, and even wanted to turn back time. When Locke hit Lloyd, she also rushed up and punched him hard.

In fact, he has already paid the price.

Locke thought so, but since Lloyd had tarnished Hannah's reputation and made Hannah unable to find a job in the news industry, he would not be able to live a peaceful life in the remaining month of his life. His final fate was to be ruined.

But this meant that he had to collect more evidence.

The two people chatting in the bathroom may be the breakthrough.

In addition, the "concern" for other beautiful women in Kosolk Evening News must also be put on the agenda.

Locke believes that Wei Na must not be the only victim.

As for Hannah, Locke believed that Lloyd would spread rumors to block her life before he had time to act, hoping that she would cry back and beg him to take him in and become his humble mistress.

Hannah's ideas coincided with Locke's, and the two discussed countermeasures in the dense forest, and returned to the funeral with Jerry the golden retriever and Irene the black cat.

Hannah found her former colleague Valeria, a beautiful woman with red hair and a plump figure.

Because of her figure, she was often harassed by her male colleagues. Hannah believed that Lloyd would never let go of Verna, so he would never give up harassing Valeria.

"Valeria, long time no see."

Hannah waved towards Valeria. Valeria wanted to avoid Hannah, but she didn't expect her to appear directly in front of her.

Valeria reached out and hugged Hannah.

"Hannah, long time no see. Goddess, you have lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot."

She and Hannah were reporters at the same time and had a pretty good relationship. Before Hannah left the newspaper, she had asked Valeria to help take care of Wena.

"Valeria, do you know something about Wei Na's death?"

Chapter 41, The Evil God’s Attention

"I'm sorry, Hannah, I'm sorry about this too, but some things are beyond my control."

Valeria let go of her hand and said with her head buried.

The sun shone from behind Hannah, casting a haze on her face.

"Valeria, you can't be blamed for this. I believe you are also a victim, but we can't continue like this and let Lloyd do his evil deeds!"

…

Locke and Hannah acted separately. When Hannah mobilized the female reporters of the Kosolk Evening News to tell their experiences, he also found the male reporter who suspected that Wei Na's death was related to the editor-in-chief of Lloyd.

"Ledo Campbell! It must be you! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Locke enthusiastically raised his glass and stepped forward, taking the initiative to chat with Ledo Campbell.

In fact, most weddings and funerals have social functions, and drinks are essential props, although they are basically low-quality rum.

Ledo Campbell looked at the enthusiastic young man and quickly remembered Locke's identity without needing to recall carefully.

"Locke who is not doing his job properly, Wei Na is my colleague, and it is normal for me to appear at her funeral."

Ledo Campbell is very sympathetic to Hannah, so he doesn't have much affection for Locke, who has a poor reputation.

In Ledo Campbell's opinion, young men like Locke should have been sent to factories long ago to work more than 10 hours a day to alleviate their families' financial difficulties.

"hehe."

Locke smiled, not caring about the disdainful expression on Ledo Campbell's face. He shook the light yellow wine in the cup.

"Actually, your relationship with Wei Na is not good. Wei Na told me that you pursued her before, but she rejected you. You must be gloating now."

"Shut up, Locke, you are a parasite who relies on your sister to support you. What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Besides, I am not pursuing Wei Na. What I like is actually..."

Ledo Campbell hesitated to speak, and finally chose to shut up.

He believed that he was unable to help Hannah pay off her debts, and he did not want to raise Locke, a brother who was not doing his job properly.

So even if Hannah is very good, he can only stay away.

"You don't like Hannah, do you? You'd better stop thinking about it. Lloyd just begged Hannah to be his mistress and promised to pay off Hannah's debt and move to a luxurious apartment in the East District. I plan to persuade her to agree. What’s wrong with being a mistress? You don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”

Locke raised his eyebrows and looked at Ledo Campbell.

Ledo Campbell frowned, grabbed Locke's collar, and said in a bad tone,

"You are pushing Hannah into the fire pit, you are a parasite who only knows how to lie on your sister's body and suck blood!"

Locke opened Ledo Campbell's hand, "You coward, what qualifications do you have to speak against me?"

Seeing Locke turning around to leave, Ledo Campbell grabbed Locke's shoulders and lowered his voice and said,

"You don't know Lloyd at all. He is the one who spreads rumors behind his back and prevents Hannah from finding a job."

"What does it matter, as long as he is willing to support Hannah and me, so what if Hannah doesn't have a job?"

Locke said disdainfully, as if this was a perfectly normal thing.

"In Kosolk, beautiful girls become mistresses of rich men every day. Their fate is better than being sold to the Theater of Roses. This is not a shameful thing."

Ledo Campbell gritted his teeth again and said angrily,

"Locke, Weena's death has something to do with Lloyd. The night before Weena jumped off the building, I saw her running out of Lloyd's office disheveled and crying. And Weena was not the first one. , and it’s not the last one. Before this, Carla, Nadi, and others have not been brutally attacked, and Lloyd is a scumbag!”

Locke turned back and gave Ledo Campbell an indifferent look.

"oh."

Ledo Campbell was slightly stunned. He was so angry that Locke was about to explode, but there was nothing he could do against Locke.

There was no way he could walk up to Hannah and tell her what a terrible person Lloyd was.

He doesn't have the courage.

If Locke hadn't been provoking him, he wouldn't have had the courage to say what he just said. He had always been a coward who watched from the sidelines. In order to keep his job, he chose to accept everything.

The only lucky thing was that Hannah, whom he had always secretly loved, did not suffer from Lloyd's murder.

But Lloyd also pushed Hannah into a desperate situation.

If Hannah couldn't find a job again, her and Locke's lives would definitely go to the abyss.

Redo Campbell seemed to have seen the final outcome of Hannah becoming Lloyd's mistress.

He couldn't help but say to Locke again,

"Lloyd already has a mistress, a very beautiful mistress."

"I know you're just spreading rumors. You don't want to see Hannah live a rich life. You want to see her become a streetwalker, and then you patronize her generously."

Locke turned around and said indifferently.

Redo Campbell was stunned. He had to admit that he did have this idea before, but when Locke said it, he felt ashamed.

He blushed and argued, "No, I didn't! Lloyd's mistress is called Shirley. If you don't believe me, you can check. She lives in the Woolf luxury apartment on Sycamore Street in the East District."

Locke, who had obtained the most critical information, ignored the man behind him. If Redo Campbell had not communicated with another reporter, causing him to not hear any secrets about Lloyd, he would not have used this method to trick Redo Campbell.

Jerry, the big golden retriever who became Irene's mount, barked.

Locke looked down and saw Irene stretching lazily.

"Is it necessary to investigate such a boring thing? Didn't you take away the life of that fat man?"

Irene said.
