Chapter 2699

"You have quite a sense of justice. Look at you, you must be practicing asceticism."

Reese was stunned upon hearing this because this was a concept only within his sect. Moreover, this guy could identify his cultivation beliefs at one glance. Perhaps this guy might have a connection to sects like the Swift Martial Sect.

Reese frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"I told you, my name is Tybalt Lumley."

"Why did you kill the groom?"

"I have my reasons, whether it's revenge or eliminating harm for the people."

Reese heard Tybalt's answer and decided not to hold back anymore. He said, "Really? I only know one thing for sure-the wage for murder is death!"

Then, Reese punched Tybalt. However, no matter how hateful his words were, he still held back the strength of his punches.

As the blow hit Tybalt's body, he activated the Golden Bell Defense Shield.

From this reaction, it confirmed Reese's suspicion. Tybalt was indeed from the same faction as himself.

In terms of strength, Reese was already at the pinnacle of a cultivator. He exerted a little force, and Tybalt's Golden Bell Defense Shield shattered.

Tybalt then realized that Reese was not easy to mess with, so he stepped into the air and hurled a blast of true energy toward the crowd on the ground.

Reese rushed to protect the present bystanders, and just like that, Tybalt had the opportunity to escape.

After all, Reese could not hesitate anymore. He had to protect innocent people first. By the time Reese turned around, Tybalt had disappeared.

This grand and festive wedding was disrupted by Tybalt and his men.

...

Palvere was the name of the city where Reese and Wrendell were in.

Ten years ago, Palvere was a shabby little fishing village. Their economic development was stagnant for a long time because they were located deep in the mountain forests, and communication with the outside world was difficult.

Then, Orson Wakefield, the current governor, took office.

In just ten years, the small fishing village on the mountain transformed into a bustling city. Although the villagers did not know how it happened, they knew that it was Orson Wakefield who led them to prosperity. Hence, they all adored him and were deeply grateful to him.

For such a respected governor, it was a shame that such a disaster happened to his daughter on her wedding day.

Orson had two daughters and one son. Hazel was his eldest daughter, and Peony, his second daughter, was the one getting married today. The youngest son was Oleander, who was not in Palvere now.

After giving Reese and Wrendell a brief introduction, Orson's secretary warned them, "Governor Wakefield is in a tricky situation now. Capiton will definitely put immense pressure on him now that his precious future son-in-law died so horribly.

"You two were summoned by the governor probably because of the chaos Tybalt caused. You'd better be prepared."

At this time, Reese asked curiously, "Ma'am, there are some things I don't know whether I should ask."

"Just ask if you want. I can probably guess what you're curious about. It's about Tybalt, right?"

"Yes, ma'am. The governor probably won't tell us much. I thought I might learn something from you."

The secretary said no more and handed the two of them a note: [I can't do anything for you. This is Miss Hazel's phone number. She might tell you something.]

Reese expressed his gratitude.

Afterward, the three of them came to Orson's office door. The door swiftly opened after a few knocks.

"Governor, the two eminent priests have arrived."

"Alright, you may go first." Orson's tone was slightly hoarse, as if he had just cried.

Reese and Wrendell walked into the office cautiously.

Orson politely motioned for the two to sit down.

After Reese and Wrendell sat down, Orson went straight to the point and said, "I need both of your help to kill a person. Once it's done, you can ask for anything you wish!"
