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

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
