Chapter 1472: Chapter 1444 Have You Heard of This Game?

Throughout the meal, Flora Jim was quiet, and Arlong was extremely embarrassed. Kiara had been observing Flora Jim for quite some time and felt that something was off, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

It seemed like Flora Jim’s brain could have been affected, yet her speech still had logic to it.

However, viewing her from the perspective of a normal person, her behavior appeared peculiar and out of touch with reality.

Only Yuzo Joel seemed to be deep in thought.

After the meal was finished, Kiara caught up with Arlong while he was paying the check.

"Arlong, what’s exactly going on with Flora Jim? Why do I feel like there’s something odd about her?" Kiara asked.

"I noticed it too. I was just about to discuss this with you—It’s a long story; let’s talk on the way back," Arlong replied.

Arlong felt that the restaurant wasn’t the right place for the conversation. After paying, he first took Flora Jim home, and then headed to Kiara’s place to discuss with his sister-in-law.

Kiara had parted ways with Arlong at the restaurant. She had originally wanted to ask her dad to accompany her back, but Yuzo Joel seemed to have thought of something and left on his own.

Kiara was alone at home, mulling over Flora Jim’s strange behavior as she sat on the sofa, and took out the hard drive her dad had given her to search through it, trying to understand what was going on.

There was too much information to sift through in a short time. After a while, Arlong arrived.

"What’s really going on?" Kiara asked.

"Today, I went to assist in an arrest and to provide testimony right? As soon as it finished, Sunna called me. Actually, I had already decided, no matter what she’d explain when we met, I was going to break up," Arlong explained.

After a heart-to-heart with his sister-in-law and pondering over it again at home, Arlong decided that disregarding Flora Jim’s past and whether or not the three rumored affairs were true, just looking at the current state of their relationship, their hearts were no longer in it, and they had no common language.

He was busy with exams, and he would have to strive for many more years in the future. He couldn’t provide this woman with happiness, so it would be better to part ways amicably.

Since he’d already decided to break up, there was no point in blaming her for anything. It was meaningless.

Kiara was quite satisfied with Arlong’s conclusion.

She felt her brother was correct on this issue. Regardless of what Flora Jim had done and what those three men were really doing at her home, since the decision to break up had been made, there was no need to dig into these matters anymore. Why make things awkward for both parties?

But the problem arose when Arlong met with her. Arlong originally intended to break up with her, but upon seeing her, Flora Jim had a vacant expression, and her eyes were frightening. Arlong searched his mind for the right words and finally remembered.

"Her eyes made me think of someone dying with eyes wide open, unaccepting of their death," he said.

The eyes were open, yet utterly lifeless.

Kiara agreed with this notion; she felt the same way.

"I really have no idea what’s wrong with her. Worried that she might be traumatized, I decided to first have a meal and stabilize her emotions, then ask you over to help me assess the situation," Arlong explained.

Arlong had handled the situation well; if he’d outright broken up with Flora Jim under her current condition and she did something drastic, it would haunt him for life.

Kiara approved of her brother’s way of handling the issue but found herself in a state of confusion.

Where was the issue exactly...

It would have been better if Dad were here. Kiara thought that her dad must have noticed something, but he was inconveniently absent.

While Kiara pondered over Flora Jim’s issue, Mario Yuno returned, looking very serious.

"Kiara, come with me," he said.

"Brother-in-law, what’s happened?" Arlong sensed that his brother-in-law’s expression didn’t bode well.

"There’s a matter that requires your sister’s cooperation, and you need to rejoin the team," Mario stated.

"Yes, sir!" Arlong responded.

"I’m needed for cooperation?" Kiara glanced at her child, "What about Wendy?"

"Take them both, we’re short on time, no time to explain."

Kiara followed Mario Yuno to find the Psychological Intervention Group, having collaborated many times before, so when she appeared here, everyone wasn’t surprised, with some even stopping to greet Kiara.

They didn’t call her Sister-in-law, but rather Dr. Clark.

Because Kiara’s capabilities had long overshadowed her title as a wealthy Madame, her presence here surely meant she was here as an external aid.

Mario Yuno led Kiara into the conference room, where Kiara realized that besides the familiar Mario Yuno, there were also many other familiar faces present.

All had collaborated with Kiara before, none were strangers to her.

The meeting was chaired by the Big Leader from their side, and the first question was directed at Kiara.

"Dr. Clark, it was your doing that brought down the health product sales organization, wasn’t it?"

Kiara nodded, "Is there a problem?"

At that moment, Kiara was quite puzzled.

She had avenged her mum, but why had it alarmed so many authoritative agencies? Could there be something more scandalous involved?

"We’ve received intel that the chief of this drug sales organization committed suicide at home this morning."

"What does that have to do with me?" Kiara frowned.

"Don’t misunderstand, we’re not suspecting you, we’ve asked you here for your technical analysis."

Only then did Kiara’s frown ease; she had no wish to be entangled in any troublesome affairs.

It wasn’t that she was cold-hearted, but with so many suicides every year due to high pressure, she figured the leader who exploited others with health products must not be a good person. Perhaps he died from too much guilt from his misdeeds.

The leader quietly passed several photos to Kiara, which immediately made her feel sick to her stomach.

She covered her mouth, forcefully suppressing the nausea, while the expressions of others who were passing around the photos mirrored hers.

All were thoroughly disgusted.

There are many ways to commit suicide, and this one was evidently too – that. There wasn’t a single part on the body left unharmed. Given the graphic nature, it’s not appropriate to describe in detail, to avoid upsetting readers.

The Big Boss asked everyone.

"Our medical examiners were shocked and couldn’t believe that someone would cut themselves this many times, let alone carve patterns. If the autopsy hadn’t ruled it a suicide, we would all suspect foul play."

How much must one despise themselves to do such a thing?

"At the crime scene, we found this pattern."

The boss giving the explanation passed over another photo, which showed a giant python painted with oil paint.

"Not only that, but on the victim’s arm, there was also a tattoo of this python."

Everyone was waiting for the boss to continue, and Mario Yuno too was unaware of these details, pondering as he listened.

If it were just an ordinary suicide, there was no need to alert so many people, and certainly no need to bring his daughter-in-law here, unless—

"The reason we’ve called everyone here for a joint operation is that we suspect these people were brainwashed by influences from abroad to participate in a so-called ’Death Game’."

A suicide game?! Kiara was taken aback, having heard of this in her past life, prominent overseas, but she hadn’t heard of such a thing happening domestically in her previous life.

"Dr. Clark, as an expert in psychology who has just won an international authoritative competition, have you heard of a suicide game?"
