Chapter 446 Shane Blanc
Darcy looked her best friend in the eye nervously.
She knew that Miru must hate Kaze after losing her godfather.
Her words might anger her.
Darcy did not want to lose her best friend. Nevertheless, she needed to seek the truth and find out
whether Kaze was framed.
To her surprise, Miru displayed no anger. She stared into Darcy’s eyes and asked, “What if we find
evidence that Kaze killed my godfather?”
Darcy clenched her teeth. “Then I have nothing to say. He deserves it.
“Alright. Let’s check it out.
Darcy was not expecting Miru to be on board and rather quickly too.
“After clearing my head, I realized something wasn’t right about my godfather’s death,” Miru explained
indifferently.
She put on her sunglasses and drove away.
The car soon hit the highway.
Darcy asked in confusion, “Where are you taking me, Miru?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had the utmost trust in Miru, so she doubted Miru had siniste motives to take her out of Lilyrose.
“How are we going to work the case with just us? We’re going to Melrose to get some help.”
Melrose was east of Lilyrose.
Miru wanted to seek help from Shane Blanc, an underground

informant in Melrose.
The person built a network of intelligence and had eyes and ears all across the cities of South River
state.
He was well known in the South River underworld. It was said that he
had all the information of the South River state in the palm of his
hand.
He had the inside of the rich families’ secrets and the latest buzz about politicians.
No walls were thick enough for him.
Miru and Darcy were off the highway in less than an hour and entered Melrose.
They arrived at a busy logistics park.
Trucks carrying goods were in and out of the place.
Shane’s daytime job was as the owner of the logistics park.
His identity might be a secret to others but not to Miru, who had access to information in the
underground world.
Miru and Darcy met Shane in no time.
“Welcome, Ms. Scarlet. Excuse me for the delay. Come and joi for a drink.”
A jolly, plump middle-aged man said to them. He offered them the salutation reserved for those who
walked in shadows.
On the surface, he was a sensible businessman.
No one would have thought that he was the well-known information peddler in the South River state
underworld.
Shane was a pseudonym he went by in the underground world.

Nevertheless, Miru could not care less and had no intentions of digging into his identity.
The underworld existed in the shadows. Many preferred to keep themselves anonymous and hide their

Miru cut to the chase. “I’ll get to the point, Mr. Blanc. I want to investigate the truth behind my
godfather’s death. Can you do it?”
“You have come to the right place, Ms. Scarlet. I can find out about everything in the South River state.
That, I know as much.”
Shane chuckled, and his tone bore pride.
With Miru giving a nod, he said with a smile, “But Mr. Cummingham’s passing rocked the underground
community of the South River state. It is a matter of great importance, but it’s a strange and bizarre
case too. It will be challenging to investigate-”
“Name your price, Mr. Blanc.”
Not wanting to hear any more bullshit, Miru waved her arm and interrupted him.
“I have long heard about your generosity and competence, M Scarlet. So, the rumors are true.”
Shane put down his glass and added, “You are forthright, so straight down to it.”
He put one finger up and looked at Miru with a smile.
“The price is fixed at 100 million dollars.”
