Chapter 0510 About half an hour later, they arrived at the Xanthos family estate in the north.
"Dad!" In the living room of the villa, Tacker clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a deep voice to Ywain, "While Gerald's funeral was ongoing, the Jess family attempted to assassinate Callie. It was led by Quidel." He recounted everything that had happened before in detail.
The Jess family? ywain narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze shifting rapidly.
Something was not right!
The Xanthos family and the Jess family had no grudges in the past and no conflicts in recent days. Moreover, as one of the three major powerhouses in the north, the Xanthos family's strength far surpassed that of the Jess family.
Why would the Jess family overstep their bounds and send someone to assassinate Callie? There must be some hidden motive! After pondering for a moment, Ywain turned to look at the disheartened Callie on the sofaand asked in a low voice, "Callie, did the Jess family say anything to you before they acted? Can you guess why they targeted you?" Why?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCallie's pretty face turned pale, still how cold Alexander was when he left.
She smiled bitterly at Ywain. "Dad, it must be a misunderstanding. The Jess family thinks that Gerald's death was orchestrated by the Xanthos family!" So that was it! Ywain raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze suddenly sharp.
The cause of Gerald's death had always been shrouded in mystery, with the funeral only mentioning accidental death.
Unexpectedly, they believed that the Xanthos family was responsible for Gerald's death.
The real culprit could not be anyone else. The prime suspect could only be
Alexander Kane! "Before the funeral ended, Erick suddenly left. They must have known the assassination failed, so they fled early." Ywain pondered for a long time before speaking again, "Their attempt to assassinate Callie must not be taken lightly. However, since the Jess family has vanished, we won't be able to find them even if we seek revenge.
Therefore, let's put this matter on hold for now and have our people investigate quietly!" Remember, until the investigation is concluded, all information about this matter must be kept confidential. No one is to leak anything!" Callie did not react, while Tacker ~odded slowly, agreeing with Yywain's
decision.
The Jess family...
Ywain glanced at his daughter, who looked ashen-faced, then turned his gaze toward the direction of the Jess family, narrowing his eyes gradually.
Where would Erick and the descendants of the Jess family hide? It was late at night. Deep within the dense northern forest in the Inkstone Mountain Range was the most remote area in the entire north, as well as the desolate mountains that major powers were too lazy to contest for.
The mineral resources within the mountains have been fully exploited since the early eras. With the sparse
population, there was no commercial value whatsoever.
More importantly, the terrain within the mountains was treacherous, with numerous mine shafts left over from the mining operations. It was spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people without any issues.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"girl" Under the pitch-black night, over a hundred descendants of the Jess family looked at Erick standing at the entrance of the mine shaft, their faces full of resentment.
"Why do we have to leave our home? Who killed Quidel and Vischer?!" Erick shook his head silently.
He did not know!
The message sent back by Quidel only said to run. Then, there was no further explanation. It could be inferred that the opponent's strength was undoubtedly formidable. They did not even have the time to make a phone call.
Such an opponent was at least a heavyweight of dominant strength or possibly even a Martial Overlord! Ding, twang...
Just as Erick was contemplating, a sharp, metallic sound of a string instrument suddenly resounded through the deep mountain forest.
Following it was a hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of indiscernible emotion.
"One of the top ten first-class families
in the North, the Jess family, has actually fallen to this state. It's truly lamentable." "Gerald acted on his own, almost exposing his identity. Since he's already dead, this seat will let it slide and not pursue it further!"
