Charlie nodded his head lightly and looked toward Jasmine, who was beside him. "Yesterday, did Hashimoto first call you to ask you to sign the agreement with the President?" Jasmine answered confidently, "That's right. Hashimoto called me first to ask me to go to Nishitama to sign the agreement with the President."

Charlie snorted, "It looks like the problem is with Hashimoto. He is the one who deceived you to go to Nishitama. Then, he set a trap there along the mountain road." 3

Feeling confused, Jasmine asked, "Master Wade, I don't understand why Hashimoto would want to harm me? I've got nothing against him. Even before this, we've never crossed paths. Why would he set a trap to kill me?"

Charlie answered coldly, "Many perpetrators and victims don't know each other. The real urge for murdering the other party would most likely be benefits gained. If he kills you, he'll get his reward. That's why he's willing to do so." 1

Jasmine felt even more astonished, and she asked, "I honestly can't relate. If I were to die, how would it benefit him? He wouldn't get anything!" 3

Looking at Jasmine, Charlie replied seriously, "If you

died, it would be hard for him to get any benefits. But, more importantly, after you've died, someone else may give him some benefits!"
