Chapter 597 Inescapable Capital Offenses

Boom!

Out of nowhere, the news suddenly exploded in front of the Langford family members.

Their hearts were filled with fear.

Did Emrys really kill Mr. Bernard’s son?

Has that punk lost his mind?

Teagan was overwhelmed with terror. At first, he didn’t want to believe this at all. However, sinceBernard himself had said it, he had no choice but to believe.

Indeed, Gilbert had met his end at the hands of Emrys!

That reckless fool!

Teagan was on the verge of losing his mind.

Samuel and Alpheus were also on the brink of collapse.

By now, everyone in Jipsdale knew that the Langford family was closely connected to Emrys. WithEmrys having killed Bernard’s son, could the Langford family really escape unscathed?

Teagan feared that he might also be implicated, facing a catastrophic disaster.

Everyone in the Langford family was trembling.

They were engulfed in deep fear.

“Where is that scoundrel, Emrys? Demand that he come out immediately. He needs to pay

for my son’s life!”

Once again, Bernard roared furiously, his voice echoing like thunder, causing everyone’s heads to buzzincessantly. It was so overwhelming that they found it hard to breathe.

“Bernard.”

Suddenly, Emrys‘ calm voice echoed as he slowly emerged from the Langford family’s grand courtyard,accompanied by Blanche, who wore a serene expression.

The entire Langford family was seething with anger.

He has become so foolish, daring to call out Bernard’s name directly. This punk truly deserves to die!

It’s one thing if he wishes to die, but why does he have to involve our Langford family in this?

When Bernard saw Emrys emerge, his murderous intent seemed to materialize, surging skyward,spreading out a more terrifying, oppressive aura.

It was suffocating.

An overwhelming sense of suffocation!

It was as if the claws of a demon had tightly gripped everyone’s hearts, threatening to crush them withthe slightest exertion of force.

Emrys‘ face remained calm, ignoring Bernard’s predatory gaze as he looked towards a member of thecrowd who had accompanied Bernard.

Halvard.

He’s here too.

Emrys said calmly, “Mr. Wigen, could you please recount Gilbert’s plan and the detailed sequence ofevents?”

Halvard nodded slightly and stood up.

All eyes were focused on him.

Bernard was as well.

His gaze was as dark and deep as water.

Teagan was utterly perplexed. Why does this Halvard seem to obey Emrys‘ words as if they wereorders? Isn’t he afraid of offending Bernard because of this?

Regardless of what everyone else thought, Halvard slowly recounted his tale, detailing how Gilbert hadset a trap for Emrys, attempting to frame him for murder and theft as a means of revenge, He alsoexplained Gilbert’s plan to blackmail Blanche, going through the entire scheme once more.

Bernard had already heard about this matter.

By the time Halvard had brought Gilbert’s body back to the Cunningham residence, he had alreadyinformed Bernard of the general course of events.

However, when it came to the part about Emrys being a cultivator, Halvard cleverly chose to skip overit.

h

At that time, upon seeing his son’s lifeless body, Bernard was instantly consumed by rage. His mindwas clouded with only one thought–the man who killed his son was Emrys.

As for how Emrys did it, he didn’t dwell on the details. Filled with murderous intent, he led a group oflaw enforcers and stormed into the Langford residence.

Regardless of how Emrys killed Gilbert, Bernard felt compelled to seek an explanation from him.

After Halvard finished narrating, the scene fell eerily silent.

It was not until Emrys‘ voice echoed once more, directly confronting Bernard, that he said, “Your sonintended to harm me first, so I killed him. What is wrong with that?”

Bernard’s face turned grim as he shouted, “I admit my son was at fault, but his mistake did not warrantdeath!”

“Not warrant death?” Emrys sneered, continuing, “If Gilbert’s plan had succeeded, what would havehappened to me? I would have been either dead or crippled! And what would have become ofBlanche? She would have been subjected to humiliation! In your eyes, these may not be offenses

deserving of death. However, from my perspective, they are already unforgivable crimes. So, where isthe fault in me killing him?”

“Hmph, unforgivable crimes, huh?” Bernard snorted in anger. “You yourself admitted it’s only ahypothesis. Even if it were to become a fact, shouldn’t the Martial Arts Alliance be the one to decidewhether it’s a capital offense, instead of you overstepping your boundaries? What gives you the right?”
