Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 512: How Did You Meet Him?

"Oh, a little bit. If there’s something you’re not comfortable talking about, just pretend I didn’t ask."

"There’s nothing I’m uncomfortable talking about."

Matthew Saxon seemed to be pondering where to start. After a moment’s silence, he said in a low voice, "Something big happened five years ago. It shook the whole city. I wonder if you’ve heard about it?"

Five years ago? A major event that shook the city?

Scarlett Yates furrowed her brows, concentrated for a moment, then her face changed slightly. She looked up with an uncertain expression: "Is it about the gang being eradicated?"

"Seems like you know about this." Matthew Saxon nodded and, after a few seconds of silence, slowly started to speak: "The gang that was eradicated was the most powerful at the time. The police had been trying to eliminate them but failed repeatedly. Especially the gang leader, whose identity was incredibly mysterious. No one knew who he really was."

"I’ve also heard about this gang. It’s said that their boss was very formidable. The police were always trying to uncover his identity but couldn’t find a single clue."

At this point, Scarlett’s face suddenly changed. She widened her eyes and gasped in astonishment: "Could that boss be..."

"Don’t overthink it." Matthew gave her a light tap on the forehead and smirked, "As long as the gang wasn’t wiped out, the police couldn’t rest easy. So they sent the smartest officer in the department to go undercover."

"The undercover officer spent five years not only gathering substantial crime evidence but also becoming friends with the leader, gaining his complete trust."

"This trust led to the gang’s downfall. The undercover cop used the leader’s trust against him, ultimately driving the leader to a dead-end, forcing him to commit suicide by shooting himself."

"Later, the undercover cop faced a frenzied revenge. All six of his family members were silenced by the escaped gang members."

The bright sunlight felt as chilly as spring to Scarlett, "And what about that undercover officer?"

"The undercover cop..." Matthew’s long narrow eyes narrowed, "the undercover cop didn’t die."

"Didn’t die? Didn’t those gang members want to kill him? He’s the one who drove their boss to his death."

Matthew sneered, bowing his head with an unreadable expression, "Scarlett, sometimes making a person feel life is worse than death is more satisfying than just killing them. Imagine, his entire family died because of him, yet he’s the only one left alive. Isn’t that pain a hundred times worse than death?"

Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded, understanding, "So, they deliberately didn’t kill him, wanting to watch him suffer, right?"

"Yes."

Scarlett was silent for a while, biting her lip, then softly asked, "Is that undercover cop still at the police station?"

"After his entire family was wiped out, he became a monk. He only recently reverted to secular life in the past year or two and opened a small restaurant to while away his time."

After listening to him describe it so casually, Scarlett remained silent for a moment, then asked the biggest question on her mind: "How did you meet him?"

How did Matthew Saxon get to know such a person, burdened with blood and deep vengeance, and how did he become close friends with him?

Scarlett realized that she knew too little about Matthew Saxon.

Such a playboy who eats, drinks, and has fun all day, shouldn’t his friends be like him, indulgent sons of wealthy families?

Otherwise, where would the term ’Fox and Hound Allies’ come from?
