Chapter 5: Get Out

When Tina and her husband heard this, their faces subtly changed, and they began to look nervous. Jimmy's mother passed away shortly after he went to prison, but during that time, she wrote several letters that he cherished and kept safe. The letters were all handwritten by Marilyn herself back in the day, serving as the best proof for handwriting verification. With Jimmy's skills, he didn't need to waste time talking; a single phone call could settle the matter. However, having just returned, he didn't want to draw the attention of potential forces, so he preferred not to make a scene. He needed to investigate both his mother's death and those who framed him. "Mr. Zorn, check this yourself." After speaking, he handed the letters to Dawson. Dawson didn't read the contents of the letters; he only looked at the signatures. Upon comparing the handwriting, he instantly knew the contract was a forgery. "Hmph, do you realize that forging a contract is illegal?" he snapped angrily. He was a straightforward guy with a military background and despised people who cheated others. That kind of personality was fine in the military but held him back in the political world. Thus, after nearly a decade since his transfer, he had remained stagnant at the deputy director position. Seeing Dawson angry, Tina panicked, immediately kneeling and begging, "Mr. Zorn, we didn't mean it. Please forgive us!" The crowd was shocked, and suddenly, everyone turned against Tina, criticizing her. "I knew it! How did Tina end up living in Marilyn's house?" "Back then, she told us Marilyn needed money for treatment and sold her the house. Turns out it was a forgery." The crowd erupted in gossip. Ignoring her pride, Tina knelt before Dawson, begging for mercy. Warner's face turned pale with anger; he never expected that this bastard still had Marilyn's letter. Faced with Tina's pitiful display, Dawson remained indifferent, glancing instead at Jimmy. He had a feeling this young man was anything but ordinary. Earlier, he had noticed Jeremiah's hand, its bones crushed with a single step, indicating the attacker had skills at the King of Soldiers level. Therefore, he knew a person like Jimmy, fresh out of Xenos Prison, could easily solve his problems or even eliminate people without leaving a trace if he desired. If Jimmy wanted, the couple could disappear tonight without a trace. His gaze toward Warner and Tina turned almost sympathetic. "Jimmy, we've been neighbors for over a decade. Have mercy, and let us go!" "We'll return the house to you and move out immediately." Tina noticed Dawson's expression, hurriedly kneeling before Jimmy, clutching his pant leg as she pleaded. Forging a contract constituted fraud, and the amount was substantial for a house, making the charge serious. Jimmy, with a look of disdain, kicked her away, saying, "Move out quickly. How you handle this is Mr. Zorn's business, not mine." The rest was straightforward. Warner promptly moved his belongings out of the house, which was conveniently next door, and everything was cleared out in less than an hour. Jeremiah hadn't dared to utter a word throughout, internally cursing Warner. Finally, Dawson escorted Warner and his wife to the car. Before leaving, Warner shot Jimmy a venomous look. Jimmy caught the expression but dismissed it; they were nobodies to him. Jeremiah was frustrated, getting beaten while the other guy walked away without a scratch. In the past, even if the other party were in the right, they'd be taken to the police station. It was clear Dawson had done this intentionally. "Mr. Zorn, isn't this unfair? That kid hit me—assaulted an officer—and you just let him go?" Dawson raised an eyebrow, turned to Jeremiah, and said, "Get lost. I don't need you telling me how to do my job." Jeremiah gritted his teeth but said nothing, supporting his injured arm as he left with the officers. Had Jimmy been an ordinary person, Dawson would have taken him in. Assaulting an officer was no small charge. But Jimmy had just come out of Xenos Prison, with notable skills, so Dawson had to tread carefully. He had once been stationed at that prison and knew it was full of hidden talents. Surviving five years there and walking out unscathed was unheard of. He couldn't help but be intrigued by Jimmy. "Mr. Yale, here's my card. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out." As Jimmy was about to enter the house, Dawson approached, handing him a simple card. Jimmy paused, took the card, and slipped it into his pocket. "Thanks for your help today, Mr. Zorn." Jimmy grinned. He had a good impression of Dawson; at least today's events hadn't disappointed him. "It's just a small matter. I hope you'll keep out of trouble in the future. I'll take my leave now." His words were both advice and warning. With that, Dawson turned and headed for the black sedan. As the engine roared to life, the car departed with Warner and his wife. Watching them leave, Jimmy walked into his long-missed home. Though the couple had stayed there for some time, the layout remained unchanged. It was evident Warner hadn't lived there long despite moving in belongings. However, the items he and his mother had left behind were gone, leaving the place feeling empty. Before college, Jimmy lived here, only leaving when he went to university in the capital, leaving Larkhaven and this home behind. The house held countless memories, each corner a reminder of his mother. He could almost see his mother's figure in the living room and kitchen. His eyes welled up, and tears rolled down his cheeks. His mother had endured enough hardship raising him alone, only to pass away when he was imprisoned. Thinking of this, Jimmy clenched his fists, anger surging within him. "I'm going to make the Yale family pay." Hatred and a desire for revenge consumed him, engulfing him like a vast ocean. "Jimmy, is that you?" An elderly voice called from outside, interrupting his thoughts. Jimmy composed himself, rubbing his eyes and smoothing his expression before opening the door to find an elderly woman standing there.
