Chapter 0313
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. “Our next destination is Zabaleta
Central
Hospital, Let’s go.”
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.
“You risked your life to take the blame; you have commendable loyalty. Unfortunately, it’s just foolish
loyalty.”

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 Andrew’s
bed.
He smiled gently at Andrew. “So 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
Marcus’s side is a bit of a waste, though.”
Andrew stared fixedly at Alexander, struggling to sit up against the wall and sneering quietly. “Kane, I
know I’m not your match. If you want to kill me, go ahead, but don’t think you can sow discord. Mister
Marcus only slashed me a few times. Even if he takes my life, I’d willingly give it!”
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, “Andrew Tannerman. Twenty–six years old, orphaned since
childhood, dependent on his sister ‘Molly Tannerman‘. Adopted by Zabaleta City Charity Welfare
Institute… “At 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…
“Sister 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…”

Andrew’s eyes turned bloodshot. “These 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!?”
“Wrong.” Alexander traced his finger lightly on the phone screen, made a few quick gestures, and
tossed the
phone in front of Andrew.
Andrew’s 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 girl’s
body neatly, and tossed it out of the window.
“No… This can’t be real!” On the sickbed, Andrew’s eyes were bloodshot. He repeatedly played and
slowed down the video, staring fixedly at the girl in the frame. “No. You’re lying to me. This video is

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
Group’s backup database and restore the surveillance footage from that year.
“Whether it’s true or false, I don’t need to explain.” He left the sickbed, turned away from Andrew, and
calmly spoke, “If I were you, I’d 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.
“Don’t ask why I’m helping you. I’m helping not you but justice.”
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.
“Mister Kane… Thank you!”
