Chapter 461 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Jacob was stunned and he couldnât really believe his eyes. It was his first time witnessing such a strange incident.
âThe Dark Lord! It must be the Dark Lordâs doing!â some members of the Harmon family started shouting. From time to time before this, some Harmon family members would die sudden deaths, but none of them had been as terrifying as this incident.
âHow very brutal!â Hector frowned deeply, looking distressed. Someone had killed Quentin first, then controlled his body with witchcraft to poison the whole Harmon family. These tactics were not just cunning but vicious. Nobody other than the Dark Lord could be capable of it.
âIâm sure you guys believe my words now?â Dustin said at the perfect timing.
T-
âI-..â Jacob was hesitant to speak. Although it was hard to accept, the facts were laid before him, and he had no choice but to believe it.
âDad! The truth is out. Wonât you ask your men to fall back?â Natasha said.
âFall back.â Hector gestured with his hand for the guards to retreat.
âHector! He is my only son. He canât just die for nothing!â Trent wailed. He was sitting collapsed on the floor.
âJacob! This incident has nothing to do with Dustin. Our hatred should be directed at the Dark Lord!â Hector said grimly.
âBut âTrent opened his mouth, but he didnât know what to say. He couldnât bring himself to accept this revelation.
âTrent, donât worry. Quentinâs death will not be in vain. We will find the Dark Lord and avenge Quentin!â Hector promised.
âAhh⦠my poor son!â Trent sobbed sorrowfully.
Hector sighed and patted him on the back in consolation. Then, he turned to look at Dustin and asked the question everybody was curious about. âHow could you tell?â
âI already realized that something was off since yesterday, but I couldnât be sure. Only when I got close to Quentin today did I realize that his face was deathly pale, and his limbs were stiff. There was even a smell of rot on him. Although the incense covered the smell of rot, I still managed to notice. Of course, I did not act rashly. The main question I had to find the answer to was who was controlling Quentinâs body and what this personâs motive is,â Dustin explained.
âThen have you found out?â Hector asked.
Dustin nodded and said, âOf course, Iâve already found out who the perpetrator is.â
âWho is it?â Hector narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists subconsciously.
âThis person is so near yet so far.â Dustin looked around and pointed at a pretty young woman beside Trent.â Itâs her!â
1/2
âHuh?â Everybody looked in the direction he was pointing in and immediately frowned.
âMe?â The young woman was stunned. âBullshit! You speak nothing but nonsense!â
After a moment of shock, Trent got worked up. âYou idiot! You just murdered my son, and now youâre slandering my wife? What are you trying to do?!â
âDustin, do you know that she is my sisterâinâlaw?â Hector asked with a frown.
âOf course I do,â Dustin said calmly. âNot only is she your sisterâinâlaw, but also the perpetrator of this incident. She is the mastermind behind controlling Quentinâs corpse!â
