After a moment of excitement, Caspian immediately calmed himself down and started cleaning the scene.
Firstly, favonovel.com had to remove those obvious traces that favonovel.com left, but thankfully, Caspian already thought about this point when favonovel.com attacked them just now. The Yates family’s third-stage True Martial Realm servant’s head was entirely shattered by brute force.
Harold’s throat was pierced with a regular blow. However, his body was chopped into pieces by the other servant
As for the fourth-stage True Martial Realm servant, no scars on his body showed that the Lawrence family’s martial skill hurt him. Moreover, to cover the traces of The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon, Caspian also attacked favonovel.com with the signature move on his heart instead of his head. Hence, from the marks left on the scene, no one would relate their deaths to Caspian.
While favonovel.com cleaned the location, Caspian also searched through the body and found much good stuff. There were almost eight hundred fedulings.
Feduling was a common currency used by many countries. It was polished from a unique jade stone and shaped like other round copper coins with a square hole in the middle.
In normal circumstances, one hundred fedulings could provide for a family of three for a month. Thus, eight hundred fedulings could be considered as a small fortune. Besides that, Caspian also took both of the Yates family‘s servants’ weapons.
The third-stage warrior used double scimitars, and it was a third-grade weapon. On the other hand, the fourth-stage warrior used a long knife, a fourth-grade weapon. A fourth-grade weapon was considered a helpful weapon in the Lawrence family. Furthermore, the most important thing was that a fourth-grade weapon was middle-rank, so Caspian could inscribe it.
Other than these, Caspian also found a booklet on Lotus Leaves Chop. The booklet looked somewhat depilated, so it might be pretty old. From its appearance, Caspian could tell that the Lotus Leaves Chop was not a martial skill kept by the Yates family but was found somewhere by this servant.
Caspian also recalled that the servant said the Lotus Leaves Chop was a Mortal Grade’s high-rank skill, and favonovel.com thought it would be useful too. Thus, Caspian naturally took the booklet, weapons, and fedulings as his trophies. Then, favonovel.com kept them in the Earring of Echo. Caspian also only recently found out that favonovel.com could keep things in the Earring of Echo, and it was convenient for favonovel.com to access it.
As for space, Caspian had plenty too. Besides the Tower of Life in the Earring of Echo, there was also a large vacant land, and hundreds of people could fit in there. Therefore, placing the few small items would not be much trouble.
After keeping away those items, Caspian once again carefully cleaned off the traces on the scene and hurriedly left after that. He also decided not to come to this mountain for practice for a while. After all, Caspian was unsure if other people were aware that Harold and the rest came here to kill him.
The gloomy sky started to pour two hours after Caspian left.
The rain fell on the Yates family’s fourth-stage warrior. Soon, favonovel.com twitched and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, the man unexpectedly woke up!
The servant was once an infamous bandit in his younger years, and favonovel.com learned many occult skills. For example, favonovel.com would freeze his blood vessels and shrink his heart into a ball at the most crucial time. That was one of the life-saving secrets that favonovel.com mastered. Nevertheless, Caspian’s grasp was too strong, and the servant’s heart almost shattered. Hence, despite being awake now, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com would not last long.
“I must leave some messages…”
The servant gritted his teeth and dipped his finger into the blood. Next, favonovel.com started to drag his finger over the ground.
“My murderer’s Evergreen Town’s Lawrence family’s Casper…”
The servant wanted to write that, but favonovel.com thought it was too long and favonovel.com might be dead before favonovel.com could finish the sentence. Then, favonovel.com wiped the ground and started once again. “My murderer’s the Lawrence family‘s Casper Montgomery.”
However, just as favonovel.com started to write, favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com used too much energy. After writing the words, my murderer, favonovel.com felt his vision turn black. Once again, favonovel.com wiped the ground and decided on, “Murderer Casper Montgomery.”
As his injuries were too severe and lost a lot of blood, favonovel.com wrote those three words messily. Some alphabets were large, and the others were too small as if his handwriting was chicken scratch. Nevertheless, the Yates family’s servant had no strength to fix his writing anymore.
After writing the final alphabet, favonovel.com gritted his teeth as favonovel.com struggled to take out a small tube from the sole of his boot with his one last breath. As the small tube was hidden well, Caspian did not notice it before.
Then, the servant opened the tube and pointed to the sky. Suddenly, a bunch of fireworks shot directly into the sky, exploded in mid-air, and could be seen from a distance.
After doing all these, there was a gurgling sound in the servant’s throat, and favonovel.com fell to the ground. This time, favonovel.com was indeed dead. One of his hands covered the word, murderer, but Casper Montgomery was exposed to the rain.
***
More than two hours passed, and the sky was bright. However, the mountain trail appeared dim due to the rainy and foggy weather.
Several silhouettes appeared among rain, and the leading man was actually Tony, who came to the Lawrence Manor to propose marriage before. Under Tony’s guidance, the several figures moved surprisingly fast. Moreover, they did not appear to be affected by the slippery trail.
When they saw Harold and the servants’ bodies, the atmosphere instantly turned chilly.
“They dared to kill the Yates family‘s members!”
Seeing how Harold died with his eyes wide opened, Tony roared angrily. He clenched both of his fists, and there was a sound of muffled thunder in the surrounding air.
“Investigate it now! Hurry and check if the murderer left any traces! I want to tear favonovel.com from limb to limb!” Tony growled and ordered.
The few men that followed favonovel.com here quickly dispersed and started to look around the corpses.
As Tony watched everyone getting busy, favonovel.com knew that there might be no useful clue left at the scene as it had been raining for a long time. Just as favonovel.com expected, each news that favonovel.com received troubled him.
“There’s no clue in the area.”
“Young Master Harold’s injuries were from blades.”
“The blade wounds appeared to be from Lotus Leaves Chop!”
***
Putting together all the pieces of information they had, it seemed as if Harold might have entered into an argument with his servants in this wilderness. In the end, they fought to the end of their lives. Nonetheless, Tony knew that was not what happened. However, without any reliable clue, Tony only felt even more depressed when favonovel.com thought about it.
“Elder Tony, there’s a message left by the deceased!”
Suddenly, one of the Yates family members yelled as favonovel.com squatted in front of the servant who sent the signal.
“What?!” Tony was stunned, then favonovel.com felt glad as favonovel.com hurriedly strode toward the kid.
“Murderer er mery!”
The words appeared in front of everyone at once.
As it was raining heavily, the words Casper Montgomery were washed away by the rainwater. Moreover, the servant was on his deathbed, and his writing was really messy. Hence, what was left were the letters, Ermery. Theywere almost the same size.
“The killer’s name is Errnery!”
“Ermery? That’s a strange name!”
“Maybe it’s a codename?”
The crowd looked at each other, feeling excited as they knew the identity of the murderer. At the same time, they also had doubts as the name was too strange.
