CHAPTER 88: CLOWN’S VENGEANCE SERVED

After calming down, the three of them looked toward Megan, who kept pointing toward the marked hole, which was sectioned off by police caution tape. Dylan, understanding what Megan meant, started walking into the hole and used his All Seeing Eye to see through the ground.

It turned out a handbag was buried in the dirt, which the police seemed to have missed during the excavation. Dylan crouched down and started digging a little, then pulled out the dirt-caked, dirty handbag.

Dylan brushed the dirt off the bag, then he turned to look at Megan, who now appeared to be praying and kept staring at the bag. Dylan opened it. Inside, there were several cosmetics like lipstick, a packet of tissues, a pen, and a slip of paper that looked like a shopping list.

There was no wallet, ID, or smartphone inside the bag, which should have been there, but when Dylan pulled back the inner lining, he saw a photograph. He pulled it out, then saw a photo of a woman, Amber, holding a baby that looked only about a month old.

"Hmm... KATS, ask her, ’Is this her child?’" Dylan asked while showing the photo to Megan, Aaron, and Clara.

[That is correct. That baby is her child, and she wants to visit him one last time. Her child is being raised by his grandparents because Megan couldn’t afford to raise him alone, but she supported him by transferring money to her mother and father, who were helping Megan.]

"So this is what’s keeping her tied here?" Dylan asked.

[No. Try looking deeper in the bag.]

Dylan again opened another inner compartment. There was a crumpled and folded business card inside. Dylan looked at it again, and he began to smile broadly, then he looked over at Megan.

"It turns out she knows who raped and murdered her. She wants revenge," Dylan muttered in his head.

Megan’s face, which still looked like a clown, instantly became furious, making her look like a terrifying clown from a horror movie. "Hii," Aaron and Clara immediately moved away from Megan, as she genuinely looked frightening right now.

[Hmm... so that’s it.]

"What does she say, KATS?" Dylan asked.

[She says she was murdered in a hotel by the person on that business card after being raped. The reason she was kidnapped is that her ex-husband owed that person money and ran away. Since her ex-husband used her number as a reference, she was the one who was pursued. Then, when she said she didn’t know where her ex-husband was, the boss forced himself on her, and everything else happened. They even killed the three kindergarten children who happened to be with her and disposed of all of them here.]

"Hahahaha... perfect. This is a real coincidence. I know the person who killed you, Megan. Let me handle that guy. You wait here," Dylan said.

"Oh, who is it?" Aaron asked.

"He was the one who bothered to come to our house that time just to kidnap Lena," Dylan said.

"Ah... I see," Aaron replied.

"Big Brother, look at Megan," Clara said, pointing at Megan.

Megan’s face immediately changed back to one full of hope, then she nodded. After that, Dylan motioned for Aaron and Clara to get ready. They walked back toward the fence, then they jumped over to the outside and looked at the police car with the two police officers inside, who looked relaxed, eating donuts and drinking coffee as if they didn’t have a care in the world. "Blugh," Dylan threw the dirty handbag into the police car, startling the two officers inside, and after they looked at the bag, their faces instantly turned pale.

***

A short while later, at a house located on the edge of the city—a luxurious house with a modern design, complete with a pool in the back and marble everywhere inside. Using his Pick Lock skill, Dylan opened the door. He also used his Diffuse skill to disable the security cameras scattered throughout the inside of the house. Clearly, the person living in this house seemed scared of being robbed.

"If there’s anything you want to take, go ahead and take it. I’m going upstairs first," Dylan said.

"Okay, Big Brother," Aaron replied gleefully.

"Hmm... what should I take? That coffee machine and air fryer look good," Clara muttered.

While Aaron and Clara walked around the downstairs area, Dylan went up to the second floor and walked toward the master bedroom. "Click," he opened the door and saw a heavy-set, middle-aged man sleeping naked in his bed, hugging a girl whose eyes were red as if she had been crying in her sleep. Dylan observed the middle-aged man’s face, then shook his head. He walked around the room looking for something. He opened the closet and looked at his clothes.

Among the piles of clothes, there was a small safe stored inside the cabinet. Dylan opened it using his Pick Lock skill. When it was open, he saw a red gemstone.

"Hmm, Red Blood... nice," Dylan muttered, taking it.

After that, he saw several other gems, a pearl necklace, several stacks of cash, illegal debt reports, and several IDs of girls listed as owing him money—one of those IDs was Megan’s. Dylan took a gold chain necklace, then closed the small safe and grabbed the safe itself. After that, he took a knife, pulled back the blanket, and "Crash," he executed the middle-aged man’s genitals, then placed the severed organ inside the safe before putting the whole thing into his Dimensional Storage.

"A...aaaaah...aaaah...aaaah,"

"Bye bye, Jacob. Hopefully, no other girl will be your victim. I won’t kill you, but I’ll make sure you can’t hurt women anymore and get caught by the police, hehe," Dylan muttered.

"Wh-who... who... aah... ah... my dick... ah... call... an ambulance," Jacob screamed.

The girl next to him, who woke up in shock, immediately snatched her clothes and ran out of the room. Dylan calmly walked out. He glanced one last time at Jacob, who was thrashing on the blood-soaked bed, tears streaming down his face, and screaming loudly like a fish flopping out of the water onto dry land.

Dylan left, then locked the door. After that, he went downstairs. It turned out Aaron and Clara had piled the things they wanted to take on the dining table: a PS5, a PC gaming set, an air fryer, a coffee maker, and a set of kitchen knives.

"Haaah... you guys are taking all of this?" Dylan asked.

"Are we not allowed?" Clara asked.

"Are you sure this is all you want?" Dylan asked.

"Yep, that’s it. The other stuff is just daily necessities. If all this counts as luxury... to us, hehe," Aaron replied.

"Okay, I’ll store everything," Dylan replied.

Dylan immediately stored all the items in his Dimensional Storage, then they went out and quickly ran to their car parked at the end of the street. After that, they stopped at a large police station in the center of the city. Dylan stuck the card on the top of his safe, then disappeared, walking into the police station.

He calmly opened the door and walked in. All the police inside immediately went on alert, but they only saw the door open and close again.

"Kyaaaaaa,"

Suddenly, a safe appeared on top of the reception counter, with the card stuck to the top of it.

"The door was opened. Please follow up on this immediately through legal channels. Otherwise, we will handle it... Sign: Shadow Cat." With an emblem of an angry, pointy cat head.

A female police officer opened the safe and immediately screamed when she saw the still-bloody, severed male organ inside, along with stacks of cash, debt reports that looked legal but were actually illegal, and the IDs of the girls who were his victims, including Megan.

The police immediately gathered behind the receptionist and tried to get all the contents out of the safe without touching the organ inside. Meanwhile, Dylan calmly left the police station without anyone noticing, because everyone was panicking inside.

Dylan got back to his car, then he got back into the driver’s seat. After that, he turned to look at Aaron, who was sitting in the front, and Clara, who was sitting in the back, staring at him with strange expressions.

"What?" Dylan asked.

"What were you doing upstairs, Big Brother?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah, why did all the police seem so panicked? Look, lots of police are coming in, and some are going out to make calls," Clara replied, pointing at the police station in front of the car.

"I didn’t do anything. Just punishing a criminal. Let’s go back and meet Megan," Dylan said.

"Okay, okay," Aaron and Clara replied, continuing to look at Dylan with mysterious expressions.

Dylan drove his car away from the police station—which was in a state of panic after receiving his package—to return to the construction site and meet Megan to free her soul.
