I pursed my lips and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just a box that my grandma left for me. He wanted me to hand it over to him, but I'm not willing to do so. So now he is detaining me because of this."
He chuckled.
He stared at me. "Is it that important?"
I nodded. "The box contains a contract that my grandma signed with the country. This contract will allow the Milton family to buy and import a large amount of petrol at a meager price. Thus, they are going to earn a lot of money from this."
Squinting at me, he frowned slightly and said, "I think you should just give him. There is no point in you continuing to hold onto it. The Milton family is not the only one benefiting from this, but the entire country as well. So why are you still hesitating?"
"I am going to hand the contract over to the Milton family, but not to Sebastian. The reason Hendrix went over to Asherton is to dig up all the evidence of Sebastian's crimes. So when he finally gets punished for his crimes, I will hand the box over to the Milton family. However, I won't hand it over to them as long as Sebastian is still roaming around freely."
He frowned slightly and said, "So, the reason why you don't want to give it to him is that you are worried that once the Milton family has cooperated with the Middle East, Sebastian will become a hero to the entire country. And when that time comes, his records will be wiped clean. Even if Hendrix found a piece of concrete evidence, he would just be pardoned for his crimes.”
