The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 830: THE REAL MISS SORCHA

THE first person Luo Yan saw was a handsome man in his early 30s. If people here saw him the first time, they wouldn't have reacted at all. They would probably just think that the man was good looking.

But that's not the thing that everyone in the room noticed first when they saw the man entered. It was the fact that he looked so similar to the missing fake Sorcha! From the eyes to the nose to the lips, everything was exactly the same. If he dressed like a woman right now and put on some make-up, they would definitely believe that he was Sorcha.

The people in the room were confused. Was this person related to Sorcha? How come they only saw him now? But unlike the others, Luo Yan was not surprised seeing this man. Because he knew the other's identity.

He was the fake Sorcha himself!

Luo Yan had long noticed during their interview that the other might be crossdressing as a woman. During their interview, this man had been holding on to the neckline of his robe. As if he was trying to hide his throat.

This move of the other was not too obvious. Like he was just holding the neckline of his robe because he felt cold. Although the movement was subtle, if you're an observant person, it's hard not to notice it.

The other definitely knew that Luo Yan was observing him. That's why he made a point to attract his attention to that little movement. This was also one of the reasons why Luo Yan suspected the guy of being 'one of the four'. Trying not to OOC but at the same time also trying to give Luo Yan enough clues to question his identity.

That's why he was certain that the body that fell from the fourth-floor window was Catherine. All he needed to do was check if the body was that of a real woman. And that's something very easy to do.

But at that point, Luo Yan was still not completely sure. That's why when he went to the other's room, he looked for clues to support his conjecture. So, when he saw the shaving cream inside the medicine cabinet, that completely solidified his guess.

It's a facial cream specifically for men. No women in this era would use that. The fact that this crossdresser intentionally left that clue meant that he wanted Luo Yan to find out about it. This also prove his other guess that the other was 'one of the four'.

That's why when he gave instructions to 'Sofia' earlier, he told 'her' to slip a note into the passageway hidden in the room that the fake Sorcha occupied. What was written on the note was, 'help us catch the ghost and we'll pay you double'.

Being 'one of the four', the other would definitely understand what it meant. At the same time, this would also give the other an excuse to help Luo Yan without worrying that the game system would judge him as OOC.

Luo Yan wasn't worried that the note would fall in the wrong hands. He had already judged that the fake Sorcha hid at the passageway in his room every time someone entered the room. At least someone aside from Mrs. Gilmore and her accomplice. That's why he's confident that the other would receive the message.

He did and this was the result.

Luo Yan glanced secretly at Mrs. Gilmore. When he saw the older woman's shocked expression when he saw the fake Sorcha, he was now quite sure that the other didn't know that the grifter they hired was actually a man and not a woman.

The confusion of the people, mostly the NPCs, inside the room upon seeing the fake Sorcha immediately changed when they saw the person walking behind him.

It was an older man, probably in his late 40s. He was quite handsome. Even the small burn mark on the side of his forehead did not detract his looks. The other was limping. Walking forward with almost no expression on his face.

"B-brother?" Charles suddenly exclaimed upon seeing the man. "H-how? No- this can't be real. There's no way…"

The NPCs who heard Charles exclamation were all shocked. Since the man didn't look like Edward, then calling him 'brother' only meant one thing. That the one standing before them was 'Richard'. But wasn't the other already dead?

The young Harry looked at his younger uncle. "Uncle, what are you saying? No- never mind that. The correct question is, do you know what you're saying?"

Charles ignored his nephew and continued to stare at the man. As if trying to find a clue from the other's expression.

Harry seemed to be annoyed that he didn't get a response. So, he looked back at the people who entered the room. After the first two, Peter Baker came in, supporting someone. Harry's eyes widened when he saw the man Peter was helping to walk.

"Father!" The young man quickly ran towards his father.

Yes, it was Edward. Although it seemed that he didn't have any injury, he appeared to be very weak. As if he was drugged or something.

"Are you alright? What happened? Where have you been?" Harry asked one after the other.

"I'm fine," Edward said while giving the man walking ahead a complicated glance.

At this point, Mrs. Gilmore finally could no longer hold it in and just ran towards Richard. She pushed the fake Sorcha away and cupped Richard's face. She looked at him from head to toe, looking for any signs of injury.

"Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"

The man – Richard finally had a change in his emotion. He looked at the woman in front of him with tenderness and love. "I'm fine."

"Mum?" Cian called. He currently looked like a lost child who was questioning the reality of what was happening around him.

Mrs. Gilmore seemed to freeze at the call of her son. Before she could speak, Luo Yan beat her to the punch.

"I think it's time you introduce your son to his father," he said to the older woman with a smile. "Don't you think so, the real miss Sorcha?"
