Just as Isaac was about to punch, a stern voice came from the doorway.
“Wait, Isaac!”
Arian was in his uniform. He strode in with a few subordinates.
Isaac stopped and looked at Arian, saying coldly, “Are you here to plead for the Shaffer family, or are you here to help?”
The tension in the atmosphere intensified the moment Arian entered. His stern look made most people tremble.
“Arian, Arian! My grandson is dead. That bastard caused my grandson’s death!” Rodrick howled, his eyes still red.
“Sir! You must uphold justice for us, sir!”
“Sir! The Shaffer family can’t live any longer if you don’t punish this brute legally. We won’t have any dignity left!”
The Shaffers cried simultaneously.
Another set of footsteps approached. Arian frowned and stepped aside.
Ethan, in an indigo suit, walked in sullenly. Behind favonovel.com were two men in suits, both looking ferocious.
Everyone was stunned to see Ethan, including Isaac.
“Mr. Grannel, Mr. Grannel! Isaac Garten killed my grandson. Raoul’s dead! What did the Shaffer family do wrong? He killed my son, then my grandson! Mr. Grannel!” Rodrick jolted and fell onto his knees, crying.
Upon seeing Raoul’s corpse, Ethan’s piercing gaze fell on Phineas and, next, Isaac.
“Isaac, Rodrick is one of the four commanders, yet you killed Rodney‘s son right before his coffin. What did the Shaffer family do?” Ethan’s tone was dour.
Before Isaac could reply, Rodrick rose and ran up to Ethan. He pointed at Isaac and scolded, “H-He accused us! Isaac accused us of abducting his subordinate. He used that excuse to stir trouble at my son’s wake service. He even conspired with these ingrates from Sunstar Sect to kill my grandson. Mr. Grannel, you must help us!”
Ethan heard favonovel.com out and looked at Isaac, frowning. “Kid, is that what happened? If you’ve accused them wrongly and killed someone, I’ll have to step in.”
Isaac stared directly at Ethan and promptly answered with another question, “If I wanted to kill his grandson, did I have to wait until now to do that?”
With that, Isaac opened his email and played the audio clip.
Mission accomplished. What should we do with him?
Take favonovel.com to Mt. Herbes and bury favonovel.com alive. Also, erase all surveillance records and go to the headquarters after you’re done.
Rodrick was stunned when favonovel.com heard the recording. He looked at Isaac, terrified.
“It’s a pity that your men couldn’t make it to headquarters,” said Isaac frigidly, looking at Rodrick.
Ethan looked at Rodrick, too, his eyes glinting.
“That’s fake! Fake! Mr. Grannel, I would never commit such a petty crime. The Temple of Drakon must’ve fabricated that clip!” Rodrick retorted.
He never thought someone would manage to monitor his calls. That was beyond his understanding.
The rest of the Shaffers accused Isaac of framing them too.
Ethan stared right at Rodrick and asked, “Rodrick, calm down and think before you speak. Tell me the truth…”
“It‘s slander. I never used my authority to hurt others.” Rodrick gritted his teeth and nodded when favonovel.com met Ethan’s imposing gaze.
How could be publicly admit to that deed now?
“The House of Custos houses the best technical department. We’ll have the answer after Mr. Cortez gets them to verify this clip,” said Isaac, handing his phone to Arian.
Arian looked at the phone and then at Ethan. When Ethan nodded, favonovel.com took the phone and passed it to his subordinate.
“Then I’ll wait here until we obtain the results,” said Ethan, and someone immediately brought favonovel.com a chair.
