Chapter 501

Melody could not help but frown when she heard Janet’s name.

If one of the three people, James, Sid, and Janet could be a “traitor”, in her opinion, Janet must be the most suspicious.

However, Melody could not tell if it was because of her prejudice against Janet or her sixth sense.

After hesitating for a moment, Melody slowly relaxed her furrowed brows.

If the traitor were Janet, this move would fail. She could use this incident to verify her guess. After all, catching the traitor was more important than catching Ulric. They did not lose their lives in this fire, but keeping the traitor alive would give Ulric another chance to cause them a fatal blow.

Life-saving was the prerequisite for all revenge. If they lost their lives, how could they take revenge?

“Alright.” Melody nodded and did not raise any objections.

Ken observed her expression and asked softly, “You don’t trust Janet?”

“No,” Melody said against her will, “She has fought alongside you for so many years. I have no reason to doubt her.”

Ken paused and said, “If you want to clear up the misunderstanding with her, I can help you and be the middleman between you two.”

“A middleman?” Melody smiled with a complicated expression and said, “There’s no misunderstanding between me and Miss Murphy, and I don’t need you to be the middleman. But I’m sorry, I’m afraid she and I can’t be friends.”

Ken was silent for two seconds before saying, “Janet is not bad. On the contrary, she is a very reliable partner. When I first founded the black market, I encountered many obstacles. She helped me a lot.”

Melody subconsciously clenched her fists. She knew what Janet meant to Ken. ‘Janet is no different from James and Sid to Ken. The three of them had known Ken earlier than me. My status will never be comparable to Janet’s, she thought.

‘If Ken has to choose between Janet and me, he will choose Janet, right? Melody thought.

However, when she heard Ken praise Janet, the feeling of stomachache in her heart came uncontrollably.

She wanted to ask Ken what he would do if he realized the traitor was Janet. But when the words were about to come out of her mouth, they became “I’m a little tired. I want to rest.”

‘Since I already know the answer, why should I ask? Melody thought.

Ken glanced at her and said, “Then sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get home.”

‘Home… Melody was in a daze. ‘Do I still have a home?

Melody was probably indeed tired. Her vision gradually became blurry, and sleepiness slowly overwhelmed her.

*****

After Melody stopped talking, Ken opened the black market forum.

Unlike Melody’s forum interface, his interface was red. This was the founder’s login interface.

From time to time, the administrators of all the forums summarized some recent questions and sent some abnormal private messages to him.

Therefore, Ken would log in every few days to deal with it.

However, when he logged in now, he saw a very abnormal post. “Those who need medicine, come here. Those who know will understand.”

‘Medicine?’ Ken clicked on the post without hesitation and saw a string of codes.

He opened another interface on the tablet and entered the code. Soon, he analyzed the code and got the sentence, “I’m one of the malicious doctors. If you need any help, you can contact me via my email. Of course, you can also contact me if you’re a malicious doctor. We can rebuild the team. My email is…”

‘Malicious doctors… Ken pondered.

Anyone who had a forum account had an extraordinary status. This also meant that most people on the forum could analyze the code.

‘How dare malicious doctors to appear so openly? Is it because the person who posted this post is stupid, or is this faction unknowingly so large that they dare to be so arrogant?’ Ken narrowed his eyes dangerously. Just as he was about to mention this to Melody, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

He realized Melody’s head was leaning on his shoulder.

He looked down and saw her closed eyes under her hair. She frowned deeply. It was as if she was uneasy and constantly on guard…

It was the first time he had seen Melody up close.

Her facial features were beautiful, but the red spots on her face made it easy to ignore her facial features.

But when Ken loved someone, he only loved that person’s soul. He did not care much about her appearance.

The car drove steadily. Ken sat with his back straight, afraid he would wake Melody from her deep sleep if he moved. The driver also vaguely sensed the unusual atmosphere and subconsciously drove even more carefully.

As a result, it took more than half an hour to reach the destination. It usually only took about twenty minutes. “Mr. Swanson, we’re here.”

Most of the people called Ken “Mr. Swanson” were death warriors trained by him after he founded the black market, and the people who called him “Mr. Swanson” were all Ken’s subordinates he had trained since he was young.

The two groups were loyal, but the death warriors were more skilled and fearless of death.

If he arranged for the death warriors to be by Melody’s side, they would use their lives to protect her. Ken would be slightly more at ease.

Ken nodded lightly. After letting the death warrior get out of the car, his shoulders and arms, which Melody was leaning against, moved slightly.

Because his blood vessels and nerves had been suppressed for a long time, he immediately felt an electric shock when he moved. It was as if countless ants were crawling on his left arm.

However, he didn’t hate this feeling. He even felt as “sweet as honey.”

However, he could not maintain this state forever.

Ken moved again and reminded Melody, “Wake up, we’re here.”

However, Melody did not react at all after he said that. He thought someone as vigilant as her must be a very light sleeper. He did not expect her to be in such a deep sleep.

“Melody?” Ken said again, a little louder this time.

However, Melody still did not respond.

‘How deep her sleep is!’ Ken pursed his lips into an inconspicuous smile.

“Melody.” He reached out and grabbed Melody’s left shoulder, wanting to use the opportunity to straighten her body to wake her up. However, when he straightened Melody, her head leaned back on his shoulder the next second.

At this moment, Ken finally felt that something was wrong. He frowned as he called her, his voice neither too loud nor soft. “Melody, it’s time to wake up.”

“Shut up…” Melody mumbled. Then, she frowned and looked unhappy but did not open her eyes.

However, as she spoke, Ken could smell the sweet smell of alcohol from her mouth.

Usually, this kind of wine was specially made. When it first entered one’s mouth, one would feel like drinking fruit juice. However, half an hour later, the alcohol would come up. It was even more intoxicating than drinking hard liquor directly.

‘She is drunk. No wonder.’ Ken smiled bitterly. Without any hesitation, he opened the car door and got out. Then, he carried Melody horizontally.

When the death warrior waiting outside the car saw this scene, he reminded in horror, “Mr. Swanson, you can’t use force on your leg…”
