The underground stone building in the People’s Repair Shop. A dozen or so mercenaries were kneeling on the floor.
Jake Graham, the so-called Boss and King of the Underworld, too was kneeling on the floor, shivering.
To secure his current position and title, favonovel.com had to be acquainted with influential men. Otherwise, favonovel.com would have been long gone. However, the imposing and awe-inspiring Boss of the Underworld was now kneeling on the floor like an obedient dog.
Soon, the man in the black vest returned with a handful of information. Upon seeing his boss on the floor shivering, favonovel.com staggered and fell. The documents in his hands were scattered everywhere.
James glanced at Henry.
Henry took the hint. He walked toward the man and retrieved the documents scattered across the floor. Then, favonovel.com handed it to James.
James read through them conscientiously.
As expected of Jake Graham and his underground intelligence network, even information that had been kept from official channels was recorded clearly.
“Ten years ago, the Cadens was the most powerful family in Cansington. They migrated from the Capital. Thirty years ago, Thomas Caden arrived in Cansington and established the Cadens.” James frowned upon reading this.
The Cadens came from the Capital?
What was going on?
How had favonovel.com not heard about this from his grandfather?
He looked at Henry. Upon reading the information in James’ hands and catching his gaze, Henry immediately tensed up and knelt on the floor.
Scarlett panicked upon seeing favonovel.com kneel and proceeded to do the same.
“Henry, how could you have missed something so simple?”
“J-James…” Henry’s forehead was beaded with sweat.
He hurriedly explained, “I-I don’t know. I looked for information through official channels. If I couldn’t find it, someone must’ve erased the data.”
James lightly waved. “Rise. Don’t ever kneel. You’re like a brother to me.”
“Yes!” Henry got up and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Although James treated favonovel.com as a brother, favonovel.com knew his place. He was only a subordinate to him.
James continued reading the information at hand.
The Cadens had a treasured scroll–the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge. The scroll was passed down thousands of years ago. It was rumored to have hidden a terrific secret and was worth a great fortune. Some powerful men had the scroll in their minds. Thus, a conspiracy against the Cadens began to unfold.
Trent Xavier of The Great Four in Cansington convinced his sister, Rowena Xavier, to approach Nicholas Caden, son of Thomas, and marry him.
A year later, Rowena found favonovel.com opportunity. She appeared on Thomas’ bed and framed him. The incident ruined Thomas and destroyed his relationship with his son, Nicholas.
Following that, favonovel.com reported Nicholas for dereliction of his duties and corruption among other charges. Nicholas got a heart attack out of frustration. Rowena then pushed favonovel.com down from the third floor, and favonovel.com fell to his death.
On that night, all those involved gathered outside the Cadens’ residence.
Twenty-five men from The Great Four gathered by Flora Lakeside of the Cadens’ residence’s villa. They took dozens of the Caden family captive and interrogated them on the whereabouts of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.
The underworld forces stood guard outside the villa and met with The Great Four.
The underworld forces involved in this operation include Dawson, Black Wind Xander, Nine Fingers, and a few other unknowns. The mastermind was unknown.
The whereabouts of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge was unknown.
James continued flipping through the information.
Ten years later, Warren Xavier, the head of one of the Great Four, was dead. Trent Xavier was dead. All the leaders of the other three of The Great Four were dead. Xander Lawrence was dead. There were speculations that the Caden who had been rescued by Thea Callahan from that fire ten years ago was now back for vengeance. The identity of the ghost-masked man was unknown.
The ghost-masked man was publicly executed by the Blithe King.
Upon reading this, James sighed deeply. The information was rather detailed.
He learned of things favonovel.com previously was unaware of. For example, how the Cadens had migrated from the Capital His grandfather had not revealed any of that to him, and it was also not found in Henry’s search.
