Chapter 313
His Lordship Alexander Kane
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of Zabaleta City-
A bright red Porsche drove along the suburban road. Luca dutifully steered the wheel with precision.
Alexander sat in the passenger seat, glancing at the message just received on his phone, his eyebrows slightly raised.
It had been over two hours since they left the Ledger family villa. Kelvin and Wanda had returned to their
respective homes, but Alexander did not immediately head back to Ol Mare.
After reading the text message, he spoke to Luca in a hushed tone. âOur next destination is Zabaleta Central
Hospital, Letâs go.â
Luca floored the accelerator, speeding toward Zabaleta City Central Hospital.
Central Hospital, in an ordinary ward at the inpatient building.
Andrew had just undergone surgery. His body was wrapped in bandages, and an empty blood bag hung on the injection stand
beside his bed, indicating significant blood loss that had required necessary transfusions.
âYou risked your life to take the blame; you have commendable loyalty. Unfortunately, itâs just foolish loyalty.â
The wooden door to the ward was gently pushed open from the outside, and Alexander walked in slowly. He signaled for Luca to
take the accompanying female nurse away and sat beside Andrewâs bed.
He smiled gently at Andrew. âSo young with no martial arts background, yet you managed to become a martial arts master
through your own efforts. Your martial talent is quite impressive. Staying by Marcusâs side is a bit of a waste, though.â
Andrew stared fixedly at Alexander, struggling to sit up against the wall and sneering quietly. âKane, I know Iâm not your match. If
you want to kill me, go ahead, but donât think you can sow discord. Mister Marcus only slashed me a few times. Even if he takes
my life, I'd willingly give it!â
He was this loyal?
Alexander shook his head and chuckled. He took out his phone from his pocket, found the message he received earlier, and
casually read aloud, âAndrew Tannerman. Twenty-six years old, orphaned since childhood, dependent on his sister âMolly
Tannermanâ. Adopted by Zabaleta City Charity Welfare Institute... âAt fifteen, Andrew graduated from junior high school, worked
on a construction site, endured hardships, self- taught, and achieved success. At seventeen, he cultivated inner strength and
was taken in by the Ledger family...
âSister Molly Tannerman, sponsored by Andrew Tannerman through college, joined the Ledger Group after graduation. In
November of the same year, she fell from the top floor of the group building. Cause of death is
unknown...â
+15 BONOS
Andrewâs eyes turned bloodshot. âThese aren't secrets. Why are you telling me all this? My sister has been dead for five years.
Are you planning to dig up her grave and not even spare the dead!?â
âWrong.â Alexander traced his finger lightly on the phone screen, made a few quick gestures, and tossed the
phone in front of Andrew.
Andrewâs gaze stiffened abruptly.
On the phone screen, a short video had just opened, depicting what seemed to be a luxurious office. A
beautiful girl was desperately crying, held down by several burly men. Several young men took turns. ruthlessly having their way
with the girl and ultimately killing her.
Even after these beasts left satisfied, a few burly men quickly cleaned up the scene, dressed the girlâs body neatly, and tossed it
out of the window.
âNo... This canât be real!â On the sickbed, Andrewâs eyes were bloodshot. He repeatedly played and slowed down the video,
staring fixedly at the girl in the frame. âNo. You're lying to me. This video is fake, electronically synthesized. Itâs not real!â
Alexander put away his phone. Watching Andrew's despair and anger, shaking his head with a gentle sigh.
Five years ago, Molly was tortured to death in the office of the general manager of the Ledger Group by Marcus
and some cronies..
At that time, Andrew had been sent away on assignment, returning to find only a coffin.
As for this video, Maxine had used the supreme authority of the Temple of War to infiltrate the Ledger Groupâs backup database
and restore the surveillance footage from that year.
âWhether itâs true or false, I donât need to explain.â He left the sickbed, turned away from Andrew, and calmly spoke, âIf I were
you, Iâd never assist the wicked, let alone act recklessly. Keep yourself alive, avenge your sister, and only then can you comfort
her soul in the heavens.
âDonât ask why Iâm helping you. Iâm helping not you but justice.â
After saying this, Alexander walked out of the ward with large strides.
Andrew clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh. It was not until Alexander's footsteps disappeared from
the corridor outside that he collapsed on the bed, shaking all over.
He did not know how long he had been crying until a hoarse sob finally squeezed out of his throat. âMister Kane... Thank you!â
