Unbeknownst to him, Sole Wolf was busy consoling Sage. He didn’t have the time to think about his friend.
Zeke returned to find everyone paying their respects to Frederick. Standing in front of the man’s photograph, they
began to express their sincere regrets and well wishes.
The Walters family was no longer what they used to be. With the protection of the Atheville army and the Great
Marshal, they were now the prized treasure of Octagon Row.
Meanwhile, Sole Wolf was going through a phone.
He quickly walked up to Zeke after seeing him. “There really is something up with Quincy Lang, Zeke.”
“What’s wrong?”
Sole Wolf handed the phone over. “This is the phone Quincy left behind. I found a five-million transfer notice in it.
How would he have so much money? He’s just a small-town doctor.”
“When was the transfer made?” Zeke asked sternly.
“Just an hour ago.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZeke was rather certain that this sum of unknown origins had something to do with Quincy’s attempted murder of
Joshua.
“We have to find out where the money came from.”
“Yeah. I’ve already assigned someone to get it done.”
Not long after, Sole Wolf’s phone rang.
He quickly picked it up.
A moment later, he began to exude an intimidating aura.
He said to Zeke softly, “It came from the Moore family, one of the four major clans in Atheville. It was from Xander
Moore.”
He said to Zeke softly, “It came from the Moore family, one of the four major clans in Atheville. It was from Xander
Moore.”
“Xander Moore!” Zeke gritted his teeth. “He’s definitely the one who instigated Quincy to kill Mr. Walters. It looks
like the Moore family hasn’t learned their lesson. This time, we’ll completely wipe them out.”
“Okay. By the way, it’s Xander’s father’s death anniversary tomorrow. Why don’t we take the chance to give Xander
and his family a major reunion with his father?”
Zeke couldn’t help but gasp. “His father’s death anniversary? But they’re holding a wedding ceremony tomorrow
too. That’s rather strange. What if...”
“What are you thinking, Zeke?” Sole Wolf asked, trembling with fear.
“Exactly what you’re thinking.”
F**k!
Sole Wolf’s eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his teeth. “What a bunch of animals! How could they do such a
thing? The Moore family must die!”
After the residents were done paying their respects to Frederick, Zeke instructed them, “Everything that just
happened is a national secret. The military court will come for you if any of you exposes today’s incidents.”
Everyone immediately consented.
There’s no joking about this. This young man knows Shawn Thompson. It’s also highly possible he was the one who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcalled the army over. He must be an extremely powerful figure.
Commoners like us can’t afford to cross him.
After the neighbors left, Zeke gave the Walters family a few words of comfort before asking, “Could you tell me how
Frederick died, Mr. Walters?”
Joshua sighed helplessly. “Well, it’s a long story. The four major households of today didn’t even exist five years ago.
The Walters family stood alone as the top clan in Atheville.”
Zeke and Sole Wolf were rather surprised.
Who would have thought the Walters family were once a prominent family?
Yet, it had taken them only five years to end up in such a state.
Joshua continued, “Five years ago, Frederick, who had been part of the army for a long time, came home in the
pouring rain. That night, he was covered in injuries and on the brink of death. He had practically lost consciousness,
but he continued to tightly hold a document in his arms, refusing to let anyone touch it. I didn’t care about that
document back then. All I wanted was to save my son, so I took him to the emergency ward. Frederick’s fiancé,
Helen Zelly, dropped by that night and volunteered to watch over him. Yet, he died that very night. Then, Helen
suddenly went missing, along with the document Frederick was holding onto.”
