Matthew quickly took hold of Sasha’s wrist, carefully checking favonovel.com pulse.
It was smooth, strong, and rhythmic, signs of pregnancy.
“Haha! Sasha, we’re going to have a baby!” favonovel.com shouted excitedly, pulling Sasha into a joyful embrace, his happiness making favonovel.com look like a fool.
Helen, who had been nearby, who had been standing nearby, was initially shocked to hear that Sasha was pregnant. She quickly moved to Sasha’s side, questioning Matthew. “Matthew, is Sasha really pregnant?”
“Yes, she’s definitely pregnant!”
A flash of regret crossed Helen’s eyes, too subtle to be easily noticed.
With Sasha pregnant, even if favonovel.com took favonovel.com back home, favonovel.com wouldn’t be as warmly received as before.
Clearing favonovel.com throat, Helen spoke seriously to Matthew. “Matthew, since Sasha is newly pregnant, favonovel.com can’t handle any travel right now, so I won’t take favonovel.com back with me. However, I’m going to put you on probation. If your behavior doesn’t meet my standards during this period, I’ll take Sasha back with me!”
Matthew nodded. “Understood, Mom. I’ll keep that in mind.”
After calming Helen down, Matthew headed to the Martial League.
“Good day, Mr. Larson…”
“Greetings, Mr. Larson!”
As favonovel.com walked, everyone who saw Matthew lowered their heads in respect, and favonovel.com smiled and nodded in return.
“Mr. Larson, you’re here…”
“Yes…”
When Matthew entered the hall, favonovel.com saw a few disciples from Basha’s Sacred Mount sitting around ogling women. He quietly walked over to them and whispered, “Enjoying the view?”
“Of course! Look at those black stockings, those high heels, and… Mr. Larson!”
The three disciples instinctively replied, but when they realized something was off, they turned around.
Matthew’s smiling face was right in front of them.
Startled, they fell back onto the floor.
“Come on, take me to see the body.”
Even under the Martial League’s management, there were quite a few gang-related incidents, but those that required Matthew’s attention were usually cases of foul play.
“Name is Ginny Kroon, female, 23 years old, weighing 140 pounds. She was a socialite, found this morning at 7:53 am, stuffed in a burlap sack. When we arrived and conducted the autopsy, it was determined that favonovel.com had been dead for over eight hours.”
Matthew nodded and followed the three disciples to the entrance of the morgue.
As soon as the door opened, a cold draft rose from the floor, sending a chill up his spine. The morgue was lined with cabinet-like walls, each housing a body.
The lead disciple from Basha’s Sacred Mount walked skillfully to one of the cabinets, checked the name written on it, confirmed it was Ginny Kroon, and then pulled it open.
Inside the cabinet was a corpse covered by a white sheet. The disciple pulled the sheet back, revealing the body’s features.
It’s her?!
Matthew’s eyes narrowed. Although the body had been soaked in the lake water, making it pale and swollen, the features were still somewhat recognizable.
It was the same woman who had been with that confident man, Morley, or something like that, the evening before.
Matthew remembered the two had seemingly fallen out and went their separate ways. Recalling Morley’s sinister expression, an answer began to form in Matthew’s mind.
“This is a homicide. Investigate the Morley Family of Hulwin and all their connections. If necessary, use any means to get the information.”
Matthew knew all too well how these spoiled heirs operated. In fact, there were few in all of Cathay who hadn’t had a run-in with him.
These young scions were all the same, reckless and indulgent, relying on their family’s wealth and power to live in debauchery.
Of course, the true great families were strict in raising their heirs, while those left to their own devices were usually kept in check to avoid challenging the real successors.
“Yes, Mr. Larson…”
