It turned out that Jeffrey was from the old era and was doing business in the city at that time. One day he passed a grocery store and fell in love with the owner's fiancée.
The owner was a young and clever man. In less than three months, his grocery store had become the best grocery store in the city. Since he was too busy, his fiancée came to help.
"His fiancée grew up with him since childhood. She came to help him. I was attracted to her the first time I saw her..."
The girl looked so beautiful and pure. So, Jeffrey suddenly had an idea. He always used dirty methods in his business. That night, he asked a gangster to sneak into the grocery store and mix rat poison into the ingredients.
Josh exclaimed in surprise, "Add rat poison!" It's crazy!
From the history he learned, many poor people in that period worked hard in exchange for ingredients, and the whole family depended on them to survive. But Jeffrey mixed rat poison in the ingredients!
The grocery store always sold many ingredients, especially when Jeffrey said the grocery store business was doing well. Jeffrey's action would kill many people!
Lilly frowned and asked, "Do you know you would kill many people?"
Jeffrey responded, "I know, but so what? Life was so hard in those days. Many people couldn't survive and wanted to commit suicide. I don't think it's a big deal!"
Lilly and the others were speechless.
Jeffrey did not care about it. To him, the life and death of others were like nothing.
The next day, sure enough, someone was poisoned because they used poisonous ingredients to make meals. It was not only one or two families. Several families had died, vomited, and were ill.
The police officers followed the clues to find the owner and arrested him. Because no evidence could be found, the police officers temporarily released the owner, but the family who were poisoned to death after eating poisonous food all came to him.
The grocery store owner felt desperate.
"He needed money, but no one dared to buy his ingredients anymore. At this time, I had an idea again," Jeffrey said, "I asked two people to pretend to be businessmen who bought ingredients and took that owner to dinner to discuss business."
Those two drank the grocery store owner unconscious. Then, Jeffrey took a contract and made the owner sign it.
Josh frowned and asked, "What is written in the contract?"
Jeffrey answered, "I wrote in the contract that he voluntarily transferred the grocery store to me and gave Lucy to me to pay off the debt."
Lucy was the owner's fiancée. Anyway, the owner was short of money. He had to compensate those who died from eating poisonous ingredients, and he was anxious. So it was reasonable for him to sell the grocery store and his fiancée to pay off the debt!
The owner knew nothing before Jeffrey brought some men to the door.
The more Lilly listened, the angrier she became. She crushed the puffs in her hand. "And then?"
Jeffrey said, "And then my wish came true."
He got to the grocery store and married Lucy.
The grocery store owner wanted to fight Jeffrey but was secretly caught by Jeffrey's men. Those men hit the owner half to death and threw him into the river.
When Lucy knew about it, she committed suicide in grief.
Jeffrey continued, "I thought the owner died, but he didn't. He sneaked into my house and caught me while I slept at midnight."
Upon saying that, Jeffrey showed his resentment, and his aura revealed all over his body.
"That d*mned guy! He tied five horses in five directions, then tied my head, hands, and feet to the horses. He threw the firecrackers to scare the horses, and they galloped in five directions."
That owner killed Jeffrey with five horses.
"I died so badly that I didn't have a complete body! The firecrackers were thrown on me and nailed my soul on the spot..."
