Chapter 76: The Female Reporter
🕑 Added 2025-05-21 17:17:41 +0000 UTCBruce crashed to the ground with a thud, making the ring shake.
Everyone watching was stunned until Jennifer and Needy suddenly burst into loud screams.
"Roy, you're amazing!"
"So cool, Roy!"
Bruce quickly regained consciousness after falling. He tried to stand up, but his limbs wouldn't cooperate. It was a vagal nerve disorder; his body was out of control.
Clearly, he couldn't continue fighting, so Lambert, who was the referee, declared the match over, with Roy winning by TKO.
After the match, Alan looked at Roy as if he were some rare animal.
Being able to deliver heavyweight punches with a middleweight build and withstand blows from heavyweight boxers, his physical talent could only be described as monstrous.
"Roy, as long as you're willing to come to UCLA, you can name your own terms!"
"UCLA wouldn't mind if I brought two good friends, would they?"
"Bringing ten wouldn't be a problem!"
Roy stayed at the boxing club for an unusually long time today. By the time he took Jennifer and Needy home, it was almost five o'clock.
By the time Roy returned to his own house, it was completely dark, and he found a blonde woman standing at his door.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Keller Evans, and I'm a reporter."
Roy frowned. He thought it was a sports reporter wanting to interview him.
"Sorry, I've already said I won't be doing any private interviews. Please leave."
With that, Roy opened his front door and went inside.
The blonde woman was taken aback for a moment, realizing Roy had misunderstood.
"Wait! Sir, you must have misunderstood. I'm not here for an interview!"
Just then, Roy turned on the hallway light, and in the light, he could clearly see Keller's face.
Wow! That's a very familiar face!
Just at that moment, Keller grabbed Roy's arm, and the system's voice immediately sounded in his ears.
*[Special character Keller Evans detected. You can absorb the power of fate to obtain rewards!]*
With the system's reminder, Roy finally recognized who this woman was.
Naomi Watts, the woman who made King Kong climb the Empire State Building for her.
This actress was a classic late bloomer, only officially becoming famous after starring in "Mulholland Drive" in her thirties, after which she had the opportunity to become a leading actress.
Naomi Watts hasn't starred in many horror films, but Roy happened to know one: the American version of "The Ring."
In that movie, Naomi Watts did indeed play a reporter.
Knowing the other party's purpose, Roy didn't drive her away anymore.
"Come in."
Keller, clutching her bag, followed Roy into his house.
"Mr. Black, do you live here alone?"
"No, it's just that my parents are away on vacation and haven't returned yet."
Roy led Keller to the living room.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thank you!"
Keller, being a reporter, was quite cautious. She didn't casually accept a drink upon entering a strange man's house and kept her hand on her bag.
She probably had a taser, pepper spray, or other self-defense weapons in her bag.
Roy was a bit speechless. He was so handsome; did he look like a bad guy?
Since Keller didn't want anything, Roy got something for himself.
He took out a can of soda from the cabinet, opened it, and took a sip.
"Ms. Evans, what can I do for you?"
Keller took a photo out of her bag and placed it on the coffee table. The photo showed a young girl who also looked very familiar to Roy, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
"My niece, Katie, suddenly disappeared not long ago, and I've been investigating it. With the help of a friend, I found out that Katie was last seen at a motel in Oklahoma. But by the time I found that motel, it had already burned down."
Roy raised an eyebrow, finally remembering where he had seen Keller's niece.
Wasn't that the woman killed by Sadako when he was checking the surveillance footage at the motel?
At the time, the surveillance footage was quite blurry, and her face wasn't very clear, which is why Roy didn't recognize her immediately.
"I'm very curious, how did you find me here?"
Roy remembered clearly destroying the surveillance footage about himself, and after it went to the dark web, there should have been an automatic deletion of traces. How did this female reporter manage to find his house?
Her investigative skills are quite impressive.
"I have quite a few friends. With their help, I found a woman named Amy, and then through her, I found you."
Roy guessed that Keller's friends were probably agents like those in the FBI. It's normal for reporters to have such friends; otherwise, where would they get big news?
"Wait a moment, I'll make a call to confirm."
Roy left the living room and dialed Amy's number.
"Hey, Amy, it's Roy."
"Roy, what's up with the sudden call? If it's not important, I'm going to hang up!"
Amy's voice was unusually cold, which surprised Roy.
"It's like this, I have a guest at my house today who said you sent her."
"It's Ms. Evans, right? Yes, I sent her. Roy, if there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up."
With that, without waiting for Roy's reply, Amy hung up the phone directly.
Roy returned to the living room, completely bewildered.
"Were you calling to confirm with Ms. Amy? She's currently under the protection of my friends and can't say much."
Keller's words cleared up Roy's confusion.
Roy sat down on the sofa, finished his soda, and then easily crushed the can into a ball and threw it in the trash.
"Ms. Keller, please ask whatever you want to know."
"The motel was burned to the ground, but Ms. Amy said you checked the motel's surveillance footage. I was wondering if you happened to see any footage of my niece?"
There was a hint of hope in Keller's eyes. She probably hoped to hear from Roy that her niece Katie was still alive.
Unfortunately, Roy had personally witnessed Katie being sent to another world by Sadako.
But now that Sadako had been subdued and enslaved by Roy, she wouldn't harm anyone anymore. Even if he told her, it wouldn't change anything.
At this moment, Roy suddenly had an idea.
This female reporter has such strong investigative skills. Why not have her help him find out where the dark web is?
So, Roy organized his thoughts and then spoke.
"I did see your niece on the surveillance footage. She was brutally murdered by the motel owner."
Upon hearing this, Keller's eyes instantly turned red. She probably had already prepared for the worst in her heart, but she was still holding onto a sliver of hope.
But now, even that last bit of hope had been shattered by Roy.
It was clear that Keller was very close to her niece Katie.
"Ms. Evans, please accept my condolences."
Keller wiped her eyes, trying hard to control her emotions.
"Mr. Black, I want to know who the killer is!"
"Hmm? Didn't your friend tell you?"
"She wouldn't tell me."
Keller's friend was probably worried that it would be dangerous for her to continue investigating.
Roy was about to speak when the doorbell rang.
