Monkey left with Gordon’s body, leaving Alex and the pale Acela in the mansion’s courtyard.
“M-Mister Kane…” Acela grabbed Alexander’s arm tightly and sobbed. “I’m sorry. I caused you trouble.
The Hart family and Ellis family will surely come for my neck!”
Alexander calmly took her hand off his arm. He gently said, “You’re not safe here. If you don’t mind, you
can crash at the New Chesire Group staff dorm for a while. I’ll arrange everything for you. Also, I’m
very sorry about
Mister Hardy. My deepest condolences.”
Acela was slightly disappointed the moment Alexander took her hand off his arm. Nonetheless, she bit
her lip
and nodded. “Mister Kane, I’ll stay wherever you put me at. I-I’ll listen to you!”
Alexander said nothing more. He maintained his distance with Acela and took her back to New Chesire
Group.
That midnight in the Hart Mansion.
“Gordon!” Briscoe looked at his son’s cold corpse. He looked at his broken neck and mouth covered in
blood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis gaze wallowed in sorrow as he wept, “Who did this? Who killed my son?! How could you have
survived,
Monkey?!”
Monkey was covered in bandages. He knelt on the floor and cried. “That should’ve been me, sir! Our…
Our
opponent was a young man, and he looked like he was in his mid-twenties. He…”
Monkey recounted everything that happened that night. He sobbed. “That person also said that Gordon
will accompany Grayson and Isaac to hell! He’d even dare to kill the Ellis family!”
What?
A name suddenly appeared in Briscoe’s mind.
Alexander Kane.
For the past few days, the Hart family had infiltrated the underworld of Woolpackton, collecting all sorts
of information. The name that kept appearing the most was the good-for-nothing son-in-law of New
Chesire Group, the retired veteran called Alexander Kane.
“Sir.” A white-haired envoy greeted Briscoe and said, “From the news that we had gotten. Both Mr.
Grayson Ellis and Isaac Ellis had indeed headed to Woolpackton. They were no longer to be heard
from. If what Monkey said is true, that they were killed by that young man, then…”
The envoy trailed off, but Briscoe understood. If all the leads were pointing to one person, then the
person truly controlling the underworld of Woolpackton, and perhaps the whole of Tormora, was
Alexander.
“Gordon’s death mustn’t be in vain. We have to avenge him, as well as those two from the Ellis family!”
Briscoe bent down and hugged his son’s body tightly. His eyes gleamed angrily.
After a moment, he took his phone out of his pocket. He found a contact that he had not contacted for a

Tobias.”
In a historical-looking mansion in Neoraven County, Tobias Ellis was in his silk pajamas, resting in his
room. He was pressing an old-fashioned outdated phone with a plastic protective cover onto his ears.
He sounded icy. “Briscoe? Why are you calling me so late at night? What is it?”
Briscoe said politely, “Please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night, but this is a huge matter. I
have to
report to you immediately.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBriscoe told Tobias about how he suspected Grayson and Isaac were murdered.
His pupils were constricted when he heard what Briscoe said, and his right hand gripped tighter out of
reflex. The protective cover of his phone cracked.
“Don’t be mad, Tobias!” Briscoe shuddered. He apologized profusely, “I just received the news too. I
can’t be
sure about the truth. I only know that Grayson and Isaac can’t be contacted. They seemed…to have
been killed. And Alexander Kane is very likely the murderer.”
Tobias swiftly ended the call and barked, “Someone, anyone!”
In less than ten seconds, a man in black quickly entered the bedroom. “Yes, sir!”
Tobias was heaving so heavily that he had to force his words out through gritted teeth. “Look into the
matter! I
can’t get in touch with Grayson and Isaac for the past few days. Find out who Alexander Kane is and
why he’s killed Grayson and Isaac! I want answers!”
Alexander Kane? Kane?
The man in black was a little stunned. He replied hesitantly, “Sir, if I may be so bold… If it was anybody
else, I wouldn’t have thought of this, but since his last name is Kane, could he be from…the Kane
family in the north?
