Chapter 402 - COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION (1/2)

In London, William Springer looked at his phone with excitement. The cause of his happiness was the confirmation that the probe by the international court and Interpol was over. While the case was not dismissed completely, it would probably end up in a forgotten file box somewhere.

He did not wait for long before logging into that dark website. He had already collected some funds for paying off the person giving her information on Harriet Brown's adoptive daughter. However, he was afraid of the Chairman, so he did not dare act without thinking.  ​​

Now that he was free of those government stalkers, he could proceed with his plan.

A part of him wondered if it was necessary to kill Harriet Brown's child just because that woman had been the cause of their ultimate exposure. Since he was no longer in danger, it would be better to lay low in case of another probe.

In truth, he had a small dėsɨrė to be normal and accept things like that Simon Burke. He wanted to move on with his life. Even though the International Health Alliance could not be revived after the scandal, he could still live a comfortable life.

However, the thought of not torturing and killing that girl caused his heart to burn in anger, and bitter bile rose into his ċhėst.

He logged into the site and opened the payment page.

It was impossible for him to back down and not find his revenge. If he did not punish those who wronged him, he would not be able to sleep at night. And his disease would get worse. If he became sick again, he would be in more danger.

A long time ago, he did not know that he had a disease.

As a child, he would find small animals like dogs and cats and beat them up. He enjoyed the sounds they made as they bled and died. Eventually, it did not feel good anymore. He started using his hands to strangle them.

He liked seeing the desperate struggle and watching life slipping out of them slowly.

His mother found out about his 'fun times' and freaked out. She sent him to a psychiatric hospital for the insane, and a shrink diagnosed his pathology. That doctor said that he would become a serial killer if he was released from the hospital.

At the time, the options for treatment of brain problems were limited, but he was deemed too dangerous to release to the public. The doctors agreed that he needed a lobotomy. They did not hope to cure him. They wanted to eliminate the danger.

A lobotomy would make him mentally dull, and he would be no different than a person without a soul. When William learned about the planned treatment, he was afraid. He had only been about seventeen years old.

With these thoughts, he planned his escape. He was young and not a hardened criminal, so he could not run from the hospital without difficulty. Furthermore, the security in the place was tight. However, what he was lacking in experience, he made up for it by his willingness to kill anyone who stood in his way.

After understanding the hospital design, he finally managed to get the head orderly in a hidden corner. He killed him before taking the keys and running from the hospital.

At the time, he knew he should have run away immediately. However, when he thought of his mother's betrayal of sending him to the nuthouse, the anger in his soul burned bright and strong. He dėsɨrėd revenge.

It was only after he went back to the house and looked at the fear in her eyes as she died that he felt at peace. He felt calm enough to leave his home and hitchhike across the country. He felt normal for a while.

During that period, he was able to find a job on a construction site with good pay. He even managed to change his identity and start afresh.

Of course, the restlessness and dėsɨrė to kill returned after a while. But he realised that as long as he could kill occasionally, he could live a normal life. Since he was at the bottom of society, he had to make do with hookers and homeless drug addicts.

He did not like being forced to deal with the riffraff because their eyes were often dead. They would not struggle the way he liked, and some even seemed to enjoy it.

He swore then that he would rise to the top and have his choice of fine prey. With this motivation, he enrolled in a high school and completed his education. He joined college and eventually graduated with a business degree.

He could not find a good job at first, but he ended up working in a casino with some connections to the underworld as a credit management specialist or debt collector. His reputation as an efficient and intelligent credits specialist, who was not afraid to break a few bones, rose.
