Chapter 345

In the upscale villa district of Iverton, where the newly rich reside, lay the Tanner Manor.

After finally dealing with the matters at the school and the hospital, Phillip returned to Tanner Manor. Although the manor was primarily occupied by his father, Anthony Tanner, Phillip had been given his own separate building for his study and bedroom.

The Tanner family had many descendants, but only those who were exceptionally capable and had made significant contributions to the family could maintain a place in Tanner Manor.

Phillip, apart from Anthony, held the highest position in the family.

The family had even openly declared that Phillip was the favored candidate to succeed as the next head of the family.

As the eastern sky began to lighten, the soft, pale light streamed in through the windows. Suddenly, Phillip jolted awake from a deep sleep. He sat up, threw off the covers, and prepared to get out of bed.

Just as his foot was about to touch the floor, he let out a terrified scream and quickly recoiled.

On the floor were three bodies, three men he had sent out the previous night.

They were dressed in black, their clothes soaked and dried with blood. Their heads had been brutally smashed, with their brains congealed. One of them had an eye that was nearly dislodged.

However, Phillip soon regained his composure. Such a scene wasn’t enough to completely shake his sanity.

He dressed himself, stepped out of bed, and took a closer look. His forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He knew the skills of these men and was fully aware of the security measures at Tanner Manor.

The estate was equipped with the most advanced intelligent security systems, and the guards were among the best in the field. ‘How did they manage to bring these bodies back without anyone noticing?‘ he wondered.

There was a knock on the door, an unmistakable sound. He knew exactly who it was.

“Come in,” he commanded in a low voice.

The person who entered was the leader of the death squad who had accompanied him on the mission the previous night. Upon seeing the bodies on the floor, the man was utterly horrified, his face filled with fear. “My failure in duty, please punish me, Mr. Tanner.”

Failing to complete a mission meant that people like him had no value. In the past, such situations often led to the executor atoning for their life.

If punishment could solve the problem, Phillip would have had him killed a hundred times over by now.

“Why did you take so long to get back?” Phillip asked, barely containing his anger.

“I got tangled up with some people. To lose them, I had to take a long detour,” the man replied, nearly having to go all the -way outside Iverton to shake them off.

Phillip glanced at the bodies on the floor, then back at the man in front of him, his fury flaring up even more.

“I deserve to die,” the man muttered. Their identities had already been exposed.

“Did you replace out who they were?” he asked.

The death squad shook his head, his face turning even paler, barely daring to breathe.

The ones tracking him, including Luke, had worn clothes that asked their presence. They were experts at trailing and hnding, skillfully avoiding the kurveillance cameras at every turn. He was too busy trying to save his own life to have any chance of identifying them.

As for what had happened at the base, what these three men had gone through, or how they ended up here, he had no idea.

A sudden, explosive knock on the door interrupted them.

“Mr. Phillip Tanner, there’s an emergency. Mr. Anthony Tanner wants you in his study immediately,” Gabriel shouted from outside.

“Find out who sent these bodies here, and do it now,” he ordered,

This time, they had only delivered the corpses. ‘What if next time they come for my head? Will it be just as easy for them?‘ Phillip thought fearfully.

Giving his orders, Phillip hurried to the study.

Inside the study, five or six people had already gathered. There was seventy–eight–year–old Anthony, nearly sixty–year–old Jonathan, Jonathan’s wife Sarah, and their secretaries.

Sarah was kneeling before Anthony, nearly fainting from crying. “Dad, you have to save Calvin! He’s your grandson, your own grandson! He must have been framed…”

Yes, Dad, Jonathan added, also kneeling. “Calvin is the eldest grandson of the Tanner family, the one you’ve groomed as the hope of the family… Dad, you raised Calvin yourself. You know better than anyone what kind of person he is. There’s no way he’d do something that would cause someone’s death. He must have been set up.”

The Tanner family has recently…”

“Sarah, watch your words!” Phillip commanded sternly as he entered the room, cutting her off before she could say any

more.

“Enough!” Anthony barked, turning his gaze to Jonathan.

They all knew what Jonathan and Sarah were about to bring up, the troubles at Conrad University, Conrad Hospital, and the special institutions. Half of the Tanner family’s empire had been swept away, and their enemies were powerful. This had to be the work of their adversaries.

But such words must never be spoken aloud, especially not by anyone from the Tanner family.

As long as they kept silent, it wouldn’t implicate them.

“But Dad, Calvin…” Sarah broke down in tears, desperate to save her son immediately.

Her son, Calvin, was the eldest grandson, handpicked from a young age as the heir to the family. He had been raised by Anthony himself.

Now twenty–four, Calvin had graduated from college two years ago and had already joined the family business. He was just waiting to complete some essential tasks before taking over as the Chief Executive Officer.

Jonathan and Sarah, knowing they couldn’t rival Phillip’s capabilities, had pinned all their hopes on Calvin to secure their future standing and benefits within the family.

Anthony had always favored Calvin, and they were certain he would do whatever it took to rescue him.

After all, when the Tanner family wanted to save someone, no one could stop them.

Chap 243

So their main goal was to get Anthony to act swiftly to save Calvin

“Shut any Ambony napped again, cutting off Sarah’s pleas.

Sarah, momentarily at a loss for words, fell silent.

Seeing that Anthony was genuinely angry, both Jonathan and Sarah remained kneeling, too stubborn to move.

“What happened, Dad Phillip finally asked.

“Mr. Phillip Tanner, it’s… Gabriel began, handing over a tablet.

Phillip took the tablet and saw several trending headlines about Calvin. The top one read, “The Prominent Tanner Family Grandson Tortures Woman to Death.

Below the headline were pictures and videos.

The Tanner Family’s Grandson Arrested for Torturing Woman to Death.”

“The Revered Tanner Family’s Grandson Exposed as a Sadistic Woman Torturer.”

“Women Who Died at the Hands of Tanner Family’s Grandson.

Phillip’s face turned pale as he read, and he staggered, nearly losing his balance.

The Tanner family, due to their close ties with the Erickson family, valued their reputation above all else.

Phillip himself was involved in the education sector, holding prominent positions at Conrad University and Conrad Hospital. He was currently both the hospital director and the vice principal.

The Tanner family had always prided themselves on their image as an honorable and respectable family. News like this would put them under intense public scrutiny. If their carefully maintained facade were to be torn down, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Calvin had been personally arrested by Dwayne, a figure known across the internet for his unwavering integrity and impartiality. It was widely believed that he had played a crucial role in the downfall of the Oliver family. This made the situation even more dire.

“Mr. Tanner. The death squad leader entered the room.

“What did you replace?” Phillip asked urgently.

“Nothing,” the leader replied, lowering his head in fear.

Phillip felt his heart sink, a cold wave of dread washing over him

‘It’s them, the Dark Union. They killed my men and exposed Calvin’s actions. This is their revenge and a warning to us, Phillip thought, his mind racing with the realization.
