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.

His 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?

Aname 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 long

He hesitated for some time before dialing. He sounded extremely respectful when the call was answered.”

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.”

Briscoe 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?
