Theodore sighed. “Zeke definitely has his eyes on the letter now. He’ll be suspicious of me if I were to make a move
at this time, so I can’t do anything for now. How about this, tell the four leaders to make their escape tonight and I’ll
dispatch my men to help them. We have to send them away. No living person can ever know about this secret.”
John’s heart sank.
He knew what Theodore meant by sending them away—they were about to be sent to their deaths.
This is too cruel.
The four leaders will have to run away, only to end up being murdered. They’re going to be so hopeless.
Does Master Theodore have any reservations to act against Zeke Williams?
Sigh... There goes all our years of effort.
Forget it. Being able to stay alive is good enough.
We’ll have plenty of opportunities for revenge.
That night, the four major households quickly took care of all their businesses before leaving Atheville with their

To prevent causing a stir that would capture Zeke’s attention, each of the clans made their escape in separate
directions.
The Zelly family was the first to arrive at the border in the east.
Helen reluctantly looked back at the lively city of Atheville.
Will I ever get the chance to come back?
She suppressed her feelings and continued driving.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from in front of them. “Stop! Who are you!?”
Helen quickly hit the brakes in fright.
Sh*t! Why are there still people at the borders now?
The next scene made her entire body feel numb.
With a rustle, shadows began to appear among the grass fields like dark clouds.
There were at least two to three thousand men dressed in camouflage and equipped with rifles.
They looked especially intimidating.
Why are there this many soldiers hiding here by the remote borders at this hour?
The captain of the troop walked over and opened Helen’s car door. “Get out.”
Helen exited her car while trembling in fear. “Hello, w-we’re moving to a new house.”
The captain scoffed, “In the middle of the night?”
“Yeah, w-we’re in a bit of a rush. Could you please make an exception?” explained Helen.
Then, the woman took out a bank card and carefully placed it inside the captain’s pocket.
Unexpectedly, the captain instantly slapped Helen in the face. “Bribing a sergeant in broad daylight? This is
unforgivable! Take them!”
The troops quickly rushed over to restrain Helen and her family.
Helen began to break down. “I-I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please... Please let me off. I’m from the Zelly family.
We have a family member who’s in the army...”
The captain smirked. “Helen Zelly of the Zelly family?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHelen nodded. “That’s right. She is from one of the four major households of Atheville.”
The captain’s smile turned even colder. “In that case, I have even more reason not to let you off. Helen Zelly,
you’re being suspected of murdering a general and embezzling his properties. Please cooperate with our
investigations.”
What?
The Zelly family was mortified.
Murdering a general?
This is too grave of a sin.
“No... We didn’t do it!” Helen tried to protest. “You have no evidence.”
“You want evidence? Alright. I’ll show you the evidence. Take them away!”
Helen and her family were blindfolded and taken away in an army jeep.
About ten minutes later, the jeep stopped.
The Zelly family’s blindfolds were removed.
But with one glance outside the jeep, all the family members were instantly petrified by the sight before them.
They had been taken to Frederick Walter’s grave.
