Chapter 710 Don''t Expect to Get Away


    Elspeth rubbed her red neck and coughed lightly.


    "Slevin, I know you''ve never been able to ept your identity."


    Slevin abruptly looked up and sneered at her. "You don''t know anything. You have no idea. Ever since


    my mother passed away when I was around four or five years old, I was left alone. Simone, that


    woman, felt guilty for not saving my mother and gave me a substantial amount of money. However, at


    the same time, she warned me not to set foot in Damoria ever again. Although I had millions in my


    bank ount at the time, I was still just a young child. When some of my rtives on my mother''s side


    found out about the money, they all mored to adopt me. However, I knew they only wanted the


    money in my hands."


    He continued, "Later on, I lived with my uncle, but do you know what kind of life I had? My uncle was


    an alcoholic with a vtile temper, and he didn''t have the heart to beat his own son. As such, every


    time he got drunk, he woulde and beat me instead."


    Slevin chuckled and rolled up his sleeve, revealing a scar about four inches long on his arm. "This scar


    was from when he raised a kitchen knife and cut my arm. Blood flowed profusely, and I was


    unconscious in a pool of blood. Back then, he probably realized I might be in actual danger, so he took


    me to a small clinic overnight to get it bandaged. However, the wound wasn''t properly treated and


    became infected. My arm was almost ruined."


    Elspeth listened, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She never imagined that he had experienced


    such hardships during his childhood.


    "Then, I gradually learned that this so-called uncle only adopted me for the sake of my money. No


    matter how much he beat me, I wouldn''t tell him the password to that bank card. One day, he finally


    kicked me out of the house, but there''s always a way out. At that time, a couple adopted me, saying I


    was handsome and that they wanted me to be their son. I thought it was my stroke of luck, but it turned


    out to be another abyss."


    Elspeth looked at his pained expression, knowing that something unspeakable must have happened.

    "The husband had a pedophilic disorder. At first, I only knew that someone was touching me while I


    slept at night. Later on, I discovered that it was him sneaking into my room every night, doing


    disgusting things to me."


    As Slevin spoke, he took a deep breath. After all, recalling the past always caused pain in his chest.


    Elspeth couldn''t bear to listen any longer and tried to console him, saying, "If you think that these are


    too—"


    "It''s fine. I''ve long since let it go," Slevin interrupted.


    Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. A gentle smile appeared on his face.


    "By the way, do you know how that couple died?"


    Died?


    "One night, while they were asleep, I quietly set a fire and took the opportunity to escape. That''s how


    they ended up burning to death. Do you know how old I was? I was only twelve."


    Elspeth, witnessing his madness, couldn''t help but sigh at the tragic nature of fate.


    "After that, as you''ve seen, I slowly transformed my money into power, umting my own influence


    until no one dared bully me. It was only after bing stronger that I realized others wouldn''t dare


    underestimate me as long as I have real skills and hold real power."


    Slevin raised his hand and gently touched her face. "I admit, maybe I have a slight fondness for you, or


    maybe it doesn''t matter. In my eyes, you are a person with great strength, and that''s why I want to have


    you. I enjoy that feeling, but I''m also afraid that one day you''ll destroy everything I have now. Thus, I


    must keep you close to me. If I can''t do that, then I''ll destroy everything you have."


    Elspeth forcefully pped away his hand and took a step back.


    "Slevin, do you realize that you''ve be nothing more than a madman?"


    "I''m well aware that I''m no longer a normal person. What''s the point of asking me whether I like you or


    not? Emotions are utterly useless."


    Elspeth looked at him, recalling the sentence he had just uttered, and it seemed to confirm her


    thoughts.


    "So, where is Mr. Schwartz?"


    Slevin nced at her with an intrigued look, giving up all pretenses.


    "It''s quite obvious. He''s dead."


    Even though Elspeth had already guessed the oue, hearing the truth still caused her eyes to well


    up with tears.


    "How did he die?"


    Slevin rubbed his temples, seeming somewhat annoyed.


    "The ident in yourboratory was caused by me. I intended to make both of you unconscious, then


    take you away. However, one of my subordinates miscalcted the number of explosives. The


    laboratory copsed too quickly, and there was no time to save two people. He was trapped inside, so I


    could only bring you out."


    "Slevin, you''re aplete b*stard!"


    Knowing that the person in front of her was responsible for Sonny''s death, Elspeth wanted nothing


    more than to tear him to pieces.


    Sonny was such a kind and unassuming person, and he had no conflicts or grudges with anyone. He


    was an outstanding traditional medicine doctor who could have brought benefit to so many people, but


    he was killed by Slevin.


    All of Slevin''s actions were driven by his selfish desires.


    Elspeth had intended to force back her tears, but she couldn''t control them. They fell to the ground with


    a pitter-patter.


    "Slevin, I will never forgive you in my lifetime."


    Slevin sneered mockingly, tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Why do I need your forgiveness?"


    "In that case, go and repent for the things you''ve done."


    After saying this, a burst of sirens suddenly sounded from outside the door.


    The housekeeper rushed in, flustered. "Mr. Slevin, there''s a group of police officers outside. ording


    to them, they''re here to arrest you."


    Rather than being rmed by these words, Slevin appeared calm, seeming as though he had


    anticipated this long ago.


    "I understand."


    The housekeeper stood frozen, momentarily unsure how to respond.


    Slevin calmly stood up, went to the nearby liquor cab, took out a bottle, pried it open, and poured it


    into a ss. The bright red liquid slowly flowed to the bottom of the ss as he swirled the ss in his


    hand.


    "Turns out you called the police," he remarked.


    Elspeth nodded. Seeing his nonchnt attitude, she no longer felt the need to hide anything. She took


    out her phone, which she had just hung up, from her pocket.


    "You''ve done so many wrongdoings. I can''t allow you to continue evading the consequences."
