The next day news of Lawrence Wilkins and Derbin Miller finally got out. Lawrence Wilkins hanged himself because he found his wife was cheating on him and Derbin Miller died because of electrocution.

Anyone would have suspected foul play but neither police nor the Detectives found anything. Everything was completely normal like it should have been… no signs of break-ins or anything.

But alarms were raised in everyone's mind when they found that they have left all of their properties to one named Nemuri Kayama. She immediately became the lead suspect. Nobody knew where Nemuri Kayama lived so they decided to wait in front of her company.

The FBI had to be involved because of the high priority target and the Detectives were told to be careful with how they speak, after all, it won't do them any good if they face lawsuits without any reason and Nemuri Kayama was currently the richest person in the whole world.

So, two FBI Agents and two Detectives could be seen waiting for Nemuri Kayama in front of the reception. But unfortunately for them, Nemuri didn't even come through the front door, after parking the car the Nemuri directly Flash Stepped into her office.

"Excuse me, officers, Lady Kayama is already in. If you want I can ping you in?

" the receptionist asked them.

"How did she even go up there?

" the female detective asked slightly bewildered. All of them were so confused that they didn't even bother to correct the receptionist that they referred to them as Officers instead of Detectives and Agents. The receptionist just shrugged and called Nemuri.

"Lady Kayama, there are four officers here to meet you

" the receptionist once again messed up their titles but none of them bothered to correct her.

"Yes, ma'am I am sending them up

" the receptionist said and ended the call.

"Lady Kayama will meet you, the topmost floor

" the receptionist said and the two Detectives followed by the two FBI Agents entered the lift and pressed the button for the top floor.

They finally arrived on Nemuri's floor and the four were them were completely gobsmacked and they still haven't entered Nemuri's office. They stilled when they saw the majestic golden doors… the doors opened on their own and they felt for a moment that they have entered some kind of Holy Land.

They have never seen so much shine in real life… they saw Nemuri Kayama sitting on a majestic golden throne. They would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives… they thought themselves blessed that they were at least able to see such a sight.

POV Nemuri

Tsk…!! They are pretty fast when a human kicks the bucket. Yes, that is the kind of expression I expect from mortals when they enter this Generous & Majestic Fox's lair.

"Please take a seats, Ladies, and Gentlemen

" I said with a smile. Yes, always smile when you are doing business.

The four gobsmacked and stunned humans robotically arrived in front of the table and sat down.

"Now, Detectives and Agents, how may I help you?

" I asked them. It looked like they took a few seconds to reboot their brains.

"Hello, ma'am my name is Desmond Park and this is my partner Francisa Cross. We are both from NYPD and we are here to ask you some questions if you don't mind

" the male Detective named Desmond spoke up and the woman Francisa nodded her head when introduced.

"My name is Brian Jones and this is my partner Samuel Churns, we are from the FBI, we are here with the Detectives to help with the investigation

" the FBI Agents also introduced themselves.

"Sure, anything for justice! So how can I help you?

" I asked them once again.

"Ma'am, this morning we found Lawrence Wilkins and Derbin Miller have died last night

" the one named Samuel said carefully.

"A pity

" I said and my smile thinned.

"Ma'am, can you tell us if you knew them?

" Francisa asked.

"Strictly business, nothing more. I haven't even met them more than three times. One time for a business deal and two times during Board Meeting in Rand Enterprises

" I said primly, nothing needs to be said more than necessary.

"Then you are saying that you didn't know them outside of business?

" Brian asked me and I simply nodded my head.

"Then can you tell us why they named you as the beneficiary in their wills?

" Desmond asked carefully, I have noticed that till now they have been respectful.

"Oh, that's because they owed me money, a lot of money which could be only covered by everything they owned kept leverage

" I said and smiled. Of course, I have been waiting for this question since the beginning.

"Ma'am if you don't mind can we see the documents?

" Samuel asked.

I got up from my chair and walked towards the drawer by the wall and took out two files from it after some looking. I knew exactly where they were even without looking but I needed to play my part.

I handed the files to Desmond but didn't let go.

"You would have needed a warrant for this but out of goodwill I am allowing you to see this

" I said sharply and let the files go.

"We understand ma'am and we appreciate your cooperation

" both Brian and Samuel said at the same time.

Desmond and Francisa carefully looked through the files and handed the files back. I took them and dropped them on the table.

"Ma'am, can you tell us why neither Lawrence Wilkins nor Derbin Miller had their files?

" Francisa asked.

I shrugged dismissively.

"How would I know? They could be hiding it from their wives or children for all I care

" I said nonchalantly and I shrugged once again.

None of them spoke for a few seconds, they only kept looking at each other while gesturing.

"Ma'am, do you have any idea why they took the money?

" Brain asked.

"I can't be sure but from what my sources had told me they asked for money so that they could continue using high-class prostitutes

" I said nonchalantly in a dismissive tone like it didn't even matter to me.

They were stunned and none of them said anything for a few seconds.

"Excuse me ma'am, but you didn't mind giving them money for such a trivial reason?

" Samuel asked me.

"Honestly… I don't care what they did with the money as long as it wasn't used for something illegal. I just checked why they needed the money and if I could collect collateral if they failed to pay me back… I didn't care if they frolicked with prostitutes, after all, it's not my place to judge them

" I said and shrugged once again.

"That will be all ma'am, thank you for your cooperation

" Brian said after a few seconds of silence. After that, they left my office but not before taking another look.

With the Detectives and Agents

They finally exited the building and walked towards the parking lot on the opposite side of the street. They bought coffee from a shop went towards their cars.

"So, was she a damn mutant?

" Brian asked and Samuel shook his head in denial.

"You know but there seems to be something fishy going on… I mean she was way too perfect, she wasn't even worried for a second during the questioning. I have been doing this for almost 12 years and I have never seen someone calm like that

" Francisa said while pacing in front of the car.

"Yes, I noticed that too and I have been in the department for 16 years and she the picture of calm and perfect. She wasn't even bothered with our line of questioning but we can't ask for a warrant because she was calm

" Desmond said and sighed in defeat.

"Boss said that she has always been like this… this isn't the first time she was being questioned or audited

" Samuel said and sipped his coffee.

"Well, whatever. We finished our job and we found nothing except those files showing that she is in the right. I can't speak for you guys but I would stay away from that woman… she isn't the richest woman for show… she got the blings and the lawyers too

" Brian said and finished his coffee.

"I am with Brian on this… don't look too deep or you will see only darkness

" Samuel said in amusement and entered the car followed by Brian.

Desmond and Francisa stayed back sipping their coffee, they were not able to put a finger on it but they knew that something was wrong with Nemuri Kayama and they weren't the first to think that…

With Nemuri

Nemuri was sitting in the office and giggling like a degenerate. She was holding a small comic in her hands… obviously, it was smut. Nemuri giggled once again and turned the page.

She was proud of the act she pulled in front of those Detectives and FBI Agents so she decided to reward herself with a new smut comic. Suddenly the phone on her table started to ring and Nemuri groaned.

Nemuri picked up the phone with a sour look on her face

"Yes

". Nemuri said.

'Ma'am, there is someone here named Madame Gao, she wants to meet you' the receptionist said.

As soon as Nemuri heard the name Madame Gao, she was interested. She already knew who Gao was because the Hand had already tried to approach her but she didn't expect that Gao would approach her so soon.

"Send her to my office

" Nemuri said and put away her comice and got up from her chair. When she was establishing her company, since then the Hand has been a problem for her… now, this was the perfect chance to start the war in earnest.

'You don't play the game of cunning with a Fox' Nemuri declared inside her mind and a vicious smile appeared on her face…
