Chapter: 361
The Horst family, while slightly inferior to the Harmon family in terms of power, was still a force to be reckoned. with in the city.
While Dustin had great power himself, he was up against an affluent family that had been here for years. Thus, it would seem like a single person was unable to fight against such a powerful force.
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Dustin let out a soft chuckle and refused to reveal too much.
As soon as the two of them left, the room erupted into chaos once again.
“Quick! Notify the Horst family immediately!”
“To think that that madman dared to kill Mr. Horst. We’ll make sure he pays the price for it!”
Inside the council chamber at Fallridge Haven, Caden was drinking tea with a middle–aged man.
“I need to apologize to you about the Gozoraberry, Sir Gabriel. Unfortunately, the gem isn’t in my possession right now, so I can’t give it to you at the moment,”
“Oh, what happened?” Gabriel Horst asked with a puzzled look.
The Gozoraberry was said to aid one in their quest to become a high–level martial artist. After hearing about this piece of news, he jumped at the first chance to obtain it for himself.
“Two days ago, this punk named Dustin got lucky and managed to cure Sheila’s illness, so he was rewarded with a Gozoraberry,” Caden explained.
“How can a mere brat have such a valuable item in his possession?‘ Gabriel spat as he narrowed his eyes, his gaze annoyed.
“I thought the same thing. Although I was the one who gave it to him, it doesn’t mean you can’t get it back,” Caden insinuated.
“You’re too kind. Since you can’t be the one who takes it back from him, allow me to take care of this,” Gabriel grinned.
“That would be the best course of action for now. However, try not to Involve the Murray family, I don’t want anyone gossiping about this,” Caden replied.
“Consider it done! This won’t be the first time I’m killing someone just to get something I want, so I’ll make sure that everything is done discreetly so that no one ever finds out about this,” Gabriel plotted as an evil glint flashed across his eyes.
Every man was considered innocent until a bounty was put on their head. How could a mere background character with no influence on his name possess such a valuable treasure?
He definitely deserved to die..
“Sir Gabriel! Something terrible has happened!” A guard from the Horst family suddenly interrupted the two of them with a panicked look.
Because he ran too fast, he tumbled onto the ground after losing his balance. His movements made Gabriel furrow his brows.
“You fool! What are you panicking for?” Gabriel snapped at the guard.
“I-“The guard wanted to say something but stopped himself.
“Spit it out! What the hell is going on?” Gabriel snapped, confused.
*Sir! Something terrible has happened! M–Mr. Horst has been killed!” The guard wailed as he fell to his knees.
“What?! What the hell are you talking about? My son seemed fine not long ago, so how is he dead now?”
