My Idle System

Chapter 65: The Truth (2)



For Christian, who had no friends and considered very few things important in his life, his sister and parents undoubtedly occupied the highest positions in his heart. In fact, aside from them, there might not have been anyone else he truly cared about. They were his everything.

So now, as he stared at the report before him, the truth laid bare, Christian could feel an overwhelming sense of rage building inside him, consuming every fiber of his being.

He even felt a sense of shame for not having tried to uncover the truth earlier, despite knowing how powerless he had been.

The coldness in his eyes was unmistakable, a stark reflection of the turmoil brewing within him.

Christian, when previously faced with Clayton, the math teacher, he actually beat him and revealed all the secrets about him. This outburst was triggered by the mention of his parents and the fact that his sister was involved in his suspension, disturbing their somewhat peaceful life, not just because of the suspension itself.

So, now seeing the report in front of him, Christian was consumed by a chilling killing intent, having already sentenced all those involved to death in his mind.

The incident occurred just before evening when his parents were returning home from church, and they were struck by a car on the road.

Up to this point, Christian had some knowledge of the incident, but the next part was something he didn't know and found most infuriating. While his father sustained a head injury and died shortly after, his mother was still alive at that point; she had just lost consciousness and was bleeding.

If an ambulance had arrived on time, and if the bastard who hit them had stopped instead of fleeing—had he just taken a moment to look and call for help—his mother might have survived.

However, because it took time for his parents to be discovered, by the time the ambulance arrived, his mother had already taken her last breath.

So, seeing the written reason for her death was blood loss due to the injuries sustained, he couldn't be more enraged.

While all of these things could be attributed to one perpetrator, one criminal, the next part made Christian lose hope in all these people and intensified his rage even further.

It was the police's response that deepened Christian's anger. Since two people had been killed in the incident, a team was assigned to investigate the case. Initially, they found nothing, but after some searching, they managed to obtain a picture of the suspicious car.

So, considering their efforts, even though there was no tangible result, one could at least say it was commendable that they finally had a lead.

But as soon as the picture of the car in question was found, a command from above came to declare the case incomplete due to insufficient evidence.

So, in the end, it was the law that protected this criminal.

While filled with rage and fury upon seeing the report in front of him, Christian still managed to maintain his rationality.

As he understood that it was impossible for the case to be closed like this unless the perpetrator had significant influence or substantial wealth.

And after waiting for ten years, he could afford to wait a little longer to uncover the truth more carefully and even exact his vengeance.

After taking a couple of minutes to calm himself down, Christian thought of his sister, and how much did she know?

After taking a couple of minutes to calm himself down, Christian thought of his sister and how much she knew about the incident. Did she have any idea about the details he had just uncovered? Because he felt it was impossible for her to know everything he was seeing now.

Had she looked into the case again? What would she feel if she knew the exact situation?

While wondering this in his heart, Christian had no intention of telling her anything before he found all the responsible parties, starting with the one who directly took their parents' lives and extending to those who covered up for them.

He was determined to take his rightful revenge against all of them. Then, when everything was resolved, he could finally tell his sister the truth and visit their parents' grave.

Taking more time to think things through, Christian started to examine the case report again. Although the picture of the car in question was included, it was heavily blurred, clearly done on purpose.

And given that it had been nighttime, there was nothing to glean from the image. Frustrated, he shifted his focus to the individuals who had investigated the case and the person who had given the command to halt the investigation.

The information about the individual from higher up was confidential, with no details about him in sight. However, the identities of the other individuals involved were easily found.

But looking at their information, Christian found that it was a bewildering situation once again.

Right after the case was declared closed, the team was actually dissolved, and each member was sent to a different part of the country, leaving no one behind in Harrisburg.

But the truly shocking thing came next: one of the investigators, a relatively young man who still seemed filled with a sense of righteousness and justice, refused to go to the new assignment given to him and stayed in Harrisburg.

Miraculously, just a week later, he was reported dead, declared to have died honorably in the line of duty while pursuing a dangerous criminal.

So, it was very clear that the person who had killed his parents wielded even more influence than he had initially thought.

While this would make things a lot harder, Christian was not disheartened. They would just have a little more time to live; after all, nothing would change in the end.

Just as they declared his parents' case to be closed, he declared that they would die after all.

Which one was stronger or more accurate? The future would tell!
