At this point, Isaac had such a refined control over his spiritual energy that favonovel.com could wield it with ease. Because of this, Bruno couldn’t perceive his true power before favonovel.com made a move. Ever since last night, favonovel.com hadn’t taken this supposed “subordinate” of Alcide seriously.
At the moment when Isaac made his move, favonovel.com felt an intimidating force that shook favonovel.com to his core.
“You were the one who insisted on keeping your son here. I’m conducting the interrogation. As for who I am, you don’t need to ask, nor are you qualified to.” Isaac glanced at Bruno, then shot a sidelong look at the stunned Abel.
“This lady here says you brutally murdered 17 members of their family four nights ago. Do you plead guilty?”
Abel took a deep breath and shouted hoarsely, “I don’t admit to it! I never went to the Ford family four nights ago. I was at Sparklers House that evening. The madam of the house and several girls can vouch for me!”
“You fool, don’t think that just because you have some skills, you can interrogate me. If you know what’s good for you, release the person immediately, or else I’ll make you wish for death!”
“Slap him…” Isaac commanded sternly.
Alcide immediately turned around and slapped Abel across the face.
A loud noise spread through the area, and the woman, who was kneeling on the ground, started wailing loudly upon witnessing the scene.
The commotion had attracted the attention of the brothel madam and some of the girls, who appeared upstairs.
When they saw the city lord’s son getting slapped repeatedly, they were so frightened that they fell silent.
Bruno was furious and shouted at Alcide, “Alcide, stop right now!”
He spoke and charged at Alcide with his sword.
Seeing this move, Isaac waved his hand, sending a burst of golden spiritual energy that knocked Bruno to the ground.
Alcide only stopped when Abel’s face was bleeding and favonovel.com collapsed straight to the ground.
“Where is the madam?” Isaac snorted coldly.
The assistant to the judicial officer standing nearby quickly turned and rushed to the second floor.
In no time, favonovel.com brought a disheveled, still half-asleep middle-aged woman before them and made favonovel.com kneel.
“Was Abel staying at Sparklers House four nights ago?”
The madam, kneeling on the ground, glanced at the corpse of Loras beside her. Then favonovel.com turned to look at Abel, whose face was covered in blood, and finally looked toward Bruno behind them.
“Y-Yes, my lord, yes…” The madam nodded with tears in favonovel.com eyes.
Isaac narrowed his eyes, emanating a powerful aura that bore down on the brothel madam. In a stern voice, favonovel.com said, “I’ll ask you one last time… Think carefully before you answer. If you help the murderer cover this up, I’ll kill your entire family…”
“Did Abel spend the night at your place four nights ago?”
The madam was trembling in fear from the murderous look in Isaac’s eyes.
Suddenly, favonovel.com fell to the ground and started crying out, “No, that’s not true! Four nights ago, Mr. Bellefleur didn’t come here! Please, spare my family! I beg for your mercy!”
Abel’s eyes were wide open with anger as favonovel.com shouted at the madam, “You’re lying through your teeth, you wretched woman. Are you looking for trouble?!”
“Abel, I’ll ask you one last time, where exactly were you four nights ago?” Isaac looked at Abel again.
“Four nights ago, Abel and I were together,” Bruno suddenly stepped forward, his eyes filled with a chilling intensity as favonovel.com looked at Isaac.
Isaac didn‘t expect Bruno to step forward at this moment. His smile grew even wider.
“Then where were you?”
“Don’t worry about where I am. The important thing is that my son and I have never been to the Ford family’s place!” Bruno shouted, his eyes filled with an intense coldness.
Abel suddenly realized something and immediately shouted angrily, “Yeah, what does it matter to you where we are? We didn’t go to the Ford family, that’s for sure.”
“Nonsense, they are talking nonsense. Sir, they are trying to deceive you!” the woman cried out loudly to Isaac.
Isaac looked at Jimmy.
The latter stepped forward and said to Bruno, “Lord Bellefleur, you usually indulge your son in the city, allowing favonovel.com to be arrogant and oppressive toward the common folks and the businesses here… Now that Abel has brutally murdered 17 members of the Ford family, do you still want to protect and shelter him?”
“Last year, favonovel.com killed a fisherman in the street, and the year before, favonovel.com caused the death of a young girl. He has too much blood on his hands…”
“Jimmy, have you forgotten everything I have told you?” Bruno gazed at Jimmy with a cold look.
Jimmy took a deep breath and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small cloth bag and carefully opened it. From inside, favonovel.com retrieved a white round emerald pendant with some dirt still clinging to it.
The moment Bruno and Abel saw the emerald pendant, their faces changed dramatically.
