Cold sweat trickled down Frederick’s head incessantly while his heart pounded rapidly. But he controlled himself and said with a look of shock, “What? Jude went missing and even died. I really didn’t know about this!

“Mr, Jude York did come to the Taylors’ the other day, but he left right after he finished his business. I don’t know what happened at all!”

“Quit pretending in front of me!” Julian roared angrily. He ignored the Taylors’ bodyguards below the courtyard wall and jumped to the spot in front of Frederick.

“You’d better tell me honestly what happened here that day. Otherwise, I’ll kill you right now!” Julian’s eyes were full of unconcealed murderous intent.

Frederick’s heart was beating wildly, but he nevertheless followed the lines he had thought of beforehand. “The Taylors have always had a strong cooperative relationship with the Peerless Martial Association. Just a short while ago, the Taylors encountered a troublesome matter that we couldn’t solve

ourselves, so we asked the Peerless Martial Association for help, and the person who came was Mr. Jude.

“But even Mr. Jude was no match for that man. After a brawl, Mr. Jude sustained some injuries and left in anger. I have no idea what happened afterward!”

After Jude had died in the Taylors’ villa, Frederick had someone secretly dispose of Jude’s body, fearing that the Peerless Martial Association would find out and take revenge. He had even made sure that all the family members had the same story and instructed them to give the same answers regardless of

who questioned them. The Taylors were told to say that Jude’s whereabouts were unknown to them ever since he left the Taylor residence that day.

Although Frederick was still speaking according to his previous plan, he was diffident and lacking in confidence.

The reason was the terrifying aura that Jude’s brother, Julian, was exuding. It was even more horrifying than that of Axel Fox, the head of the California branch of the Peerless Martial Association.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This was enough to show that the powerhouse from the Peerless Martial Association in front of him was probably much more powerful than the head of the California branch.

Lying in front of such an expert put terrifying psychological pressure on one’s mind and soul. Thus, it really wasn’t an easy task at all.

Aslight bit of carelessness would arouse Julian’s suspicion, and then not only him but all the Taylors would face destruction.

Julian’s face darkened. “Nonsense! Jude’s strength is incomparable to ordinary people’s. Apart from Alex Fox, who else in California can hurt him?

“Given Jude’s character, how could he possibly leave in indignation after suffering an injury? Who is the person who hurt him?

“You’d better tell me the truth about everything. If I find out that you’re lying to me, I’ll destroy the Taylors immediately!”

Frederick’s hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling, but he said persistently, “That’s indeed the truth. I wouldn’t dare to lie to you at all!

“As for who hurt Mr. Jude, his… his name is Lucas Gray!”

“Lucas Gray…” Julian had an uncertain expression on his face after hearing this name.

If Axel was the only one who had said that his younger brother’s murderer was Lucas Gray, Julian wouldn’t trust him. This was why he had gone to the Taylors to confirm it himself.

But now that the helmsman of the Taylors had also said that the person who had injured his younger brother was the young man named Lucas, Julian was almost certain Lucas had done it.

“Is Lucas Gray the one being called the Master of California recently?” Julian asked coldly.

“… Yes. Lucas Gray’s martial arts skills are extremely impressive, and he’s the one who just became the Master of California!”

Frederick pushed the blame to Lucas because he would rather Lucas be the one to face Julian’s wrath.

Anyway, Lucas was very powerful. Even against a top expert like Julian, he should be on par with him.

Besides, Jude had indeed died in Lucas’s hands, so he wasn’t really framing him.

But the Taylors had to draw a line between this incident and themselves no matter what!

Julian narrowed his eyes.

Since Axel and Frederick had already said so, he reckoned that Lucas had to be very powerful.

It wasn’t impossible for Jude to die in his hands.

But the fact that he could achieve such terrifying strength at such a young age meant that he was undoubtedly a rare elite expert.

It would indeed be a pity to kill him just like that.

If he could rope Lucas in and bring him back to the Peerless Martial Association, Lucas would be of great help to him and give his status in the headquarters a boost.

But if Lucas had really killed his younger brother, he couldn’t forget this hatred just like that.

Julian pondered about how he should deal with Lucas, and Taylors’ courtyard fell silent for a while. Since Julian wasn’t saying anything, no one dared to speak.

“Where is Lucas Gray now?” Julian asked after a long time.

Frederick hurriedly said, “I know. He lives in the villa in the middle of Pearl Lake in southern Orange County. That place is very eye-catching and easy to find.”

At this moment, he heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Julian went to look for Lucas, the Taylors would be safe today.

As for the situation following that, he would have to see who won between Lucas and Julian before he could slowly make plans.

Julian shot Frederick a deep glance before snorting coldly and walking toward the gates of the Taylor residence.

From beginning to end, he didn’t take the Taylors’ bodyguards seriously at all, as if there was no one around.

“Mr… Mr. York, please wait a moment!” A clear voice suddenly called out to stop Julian from leaving.

Frederick’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and saw Gisele standing up behind him.

The voice belonged to Gisele.

Frederick was furious and flustered. He couldn’t wait for the terrifying Julian to leave. But just as the latter was about to go, his granddaughter actually took the initiative to call out to him and stop him!

What is Gisele trying to do?

Julian stopped, slowly turned around, and stared at Gisele with his sharp eyes. “Did you call out to me for something important?”

Gisele gritted her teeth and said loudly, “I want to tell you that Lucas Gray really killed your brother, Jude!”

The moment she said this, a look of shock and panic appeared on Frederick’s face..
