Chapter 61
Chapter 61
"What's wrong?" The father and son's faces changed.
"There was a team of construction workers who parked a truck right outside our residence, but thevehicle was left behind without anyone spotted in sight. Then, we found Jerrick, the manager of MountRochwick's tourism department, to be bloodied and insane."
"What?!"
Felix sprang up from his chair and said, "Let's check out what’s going on!"
When they got to the Jacob Residence's main entrance, they were greeted by the sight of a huge truckthat was parked just in front of the main gate. In the meantime, Jerrick was seen sitting in the corner,curling up while hugging his knees. After all, he had been sharing the same space with William's deadbody in the dark container, which was believed to have rendered him insane and mad. As soon as Felixand Trevis walked out the door, they asked, "What happened?"
With a pair of soulless eyes on his face, Jerrick pointed at the container with his shivering finger. "M-Mr.Jacob…" Upon hearing Jerrick's words, Felix stepped forward to open the container's lid. After acreaking sound from the door, Felix staggered backward like he had been hit with several bullets, hisface turning pale in that instant. When everyone else sensed the man's reaction, they all instantly knewsomething was wrong. Thus, they all peeked at the container's interior to see what was going on, onlyto replace William's mutilated and amputated corpse lying in a pool of blood. At the same time, the truck'scontainer was filled with an unpleasant and sickening smell that could make anyone's hair stand onend.
While some of the witnesses were so disgusted that they immediately puked there and then, Felix
grieved and shouted at the top of his lungs, "William!" After all, William was his favorite and youngestson among his children, so it broke his heart to see him die such a horrible death. "William…" Felixstaggered, nearly losing his footing as he was about to faint.
"Dad." Trevis quickly got a hold of his father and told him to pull himself together. "You need to calmdown, Dad. We need to replace out who murdered William."
When Trevis' words got to his head, Felix opened his eyes wide and strode toward Jerrick, grabbingthe latter by his collar and questioning him. "Tell me! Who the f*ck killed my son?!"
Meanwhile, Jerrick appeared to be much calmer now as he replied with a shaking voice, "I-It's a manknown as… Mr. Nicholson, but I don't know much about him."
"Mr. Nicholson?" Felix pressed on with a menacing look on his face. "Why did that guy kill my son insuch a horrible way?!"
Jerrick answered, "Mr. Nicholson had his men dig up two skeletons from Mount Rochwick, but whenMr. Jacob trampled one of them, that guy went nuts and killed him."
Skeletons? Mr. Nicholson? When Felix heard those two words, he was stupefied and shocked. He thenshoved Jerrick aside and looked at Trevis. "Take William's body to the House of Mercy. After that, comesee me in the study."
"Alright, Father."
Upon telling his son what to do, Felix made his way back to the study with a hunched back and sat onthe chair in a preoccupied manner. At that moment, he seemed as if he had aged by ten years after the
surprising event of his son's death. He then set his eyes outside the window, his mind flooded withendless sorrows and worries. Did someone from the Nicholson Family dig up Xavier's and his wife'sremains? Is the Nicholson Family's descendant back for revenge? At the thought of that, Felix knittedhis eyebrows and murmured to himself, "Wait a second. Was the Summers Residence's destructionrelated to the Nicholson Family? Because if it was, we're going to be in huge trouble…"
A few moments later, the door was pushed open, whereupon Trevis walked in tearfully. "Dad, William'sbody has been delivered to the House of Mercy."
Felix nodded, still grieving over his bereavement. "Compile the names of those who are going to attendWilliam's funeral. I'm going to honor him with a grand funeral in five days." He then took a deep breathand pulled himself together. "By the way, are you sure that the Summers Family was wiped out onlybecause they got on the wrong side of Ares? Could there be something else we don't know about?"
"No, there wasn't anything else." Trevis shook his head. "I didn't hear any news about that either."
"What about the land upon which Summers Residence was built? I heard it was bought over by…"Felix paused for a while with a horrified look on his face. "Mr. Nicholson." Although he initially paid noattention to that matter because he thought the buyer was just nothing more than a rich man who wasinterested in the piece of land, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end at the thought of Mr.Nicholson.
"Dad, what do you think about Mr. Nicholson? Is this guy trying to plot against us?"
Felix nodded and replied with a glacial look on his face, "That man is probably just a nobody, so let'snot worry about him. If he ever dares to show up again, I'm going to skin him alive to avenge William!"
In the meantime, Kingsley instructed Leroy to contact an architecture company for the construction ofNicholson Family Cemetery right after giving his parents a proper burial. When everything was done,he got into his car and held onto the steering tightly, his fingers shivering like crazy. While his parents'remains had been found, he realized he was also one step closer to discovering another murderer. Justwait and see, Jacobs! Overwhelmed by his anger, Kingsley turned red in his eyes as he began to thinkabout wiping out the entire Jacob Family, but suddenly, his phone's loud ringtone interrupted his train ofthought.
