“Abbot Erasmus died with his eyes open. I tried to close his eyes, but to no avail,” Walter reported sadly. He didn't even dare to look in Erasmus' direction.
Jared got to his knees and caressed Erasmus' face. “Abbot Erasmus, don't worry. I shall avenge you!”
After he removed his hands, Erasmus' eyes had snapped shut.
Getting to his feet, Jared glanced around the hall. There were no other corpses in sight, so he asked, “Where is Abbot Erasmus' daughter, Renee?” Walter shook his head. Glen, however, parted his lips to explain, “We don't know where she is. We rushed here after receiving news and barricaded the scene. There was no one else here. We made sure no one touched the scene.”
Walter gritted his teeth and declared, “I can't believe a lunatic killed everyone in the monastery! Who could he be?”
Jared had a suspect in mind, but he didn't reveal his thoughts as there wasn't any evidence tying the suspect to the gruesome incident.
“Don't worry, Mr. Grange. I've asked the Criminal Investigation Division to investigate the matter thoroughly. I believe we'll find out the culprit soon,” Glen promised.
The anguish in his voice was evident.
“Mr. Lowe, stop investigating the matter. Ordinary humans can't find anything. Leave it to me!”
Jared knew this was done by someone who possessed abilities that go beyond that of ordinary people.
Glen was stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and glanced at Jared. Nodding, he said, “All right. I’ll ask the investigators to leave!”
Right after he said that, a commotion sounded outside.
Jared and the rest rushed out to see Leonidas arguing with the investigators. His robe was utterly drenched.
“Let him in!” Jared roared.
