Drake, who had been tracking the escaped James, had yet to return.
It was not until the next morning that he came back to report to Dustin.
His face was quite grim.
“Any news? Where did James go?” Dustin asked with a faint smile.
He had absolute faith in Drake’s skills. It was almost impossible for him to lose a target.
Drake’s unusually serious expression, however, hinted that this was no ordinary situation.
“My Liege, I shadowed him all night. At first, he was extremely cautious and took a convoluted route. But eventually, he headed straight to one place… The Barbenheim Institution at the heart of Grayvale,” he said in a low voice.
Dustin’s brows furrowed slightly.
The Barbenheim Institution...
He had long suspected a connection between the Williams family and the massacre of the Fox family.
His dealings with the Williams family were extensive. After all, he had personally killed Lord Barbenheim and both his sons.
Lord Barbenheim and his eldest son had been slain in secret, while Arthur was executed in public, which had caused a major uproar.
Yet, strangely enough, the Barbenheim Institution remained eerily quiet. No words and no action were taken against him. Nothing at all!
Speculations arose, but Dustin paid it no mind.
But Dustin had not expected James to have ties to the Barbenheim Institution.
“Who did he meet with?” Dustin asked calmly.
Drake’s face grew grave.
“My Liege, the person he met with... was Lord Barbenheim,” he said and enunciated every word.
Dustin’s composure faltered.
“What did you just say?!” He shot to his feet.
The name struck a nerve.
“Lord Barbenheim…”

Is the story not coming in again. It's been days now and no new chapter...
Nice one...
Shitty ending but considering overall I give the book .05 out of 5 stars. You used the same plot to many times, too many translation errors, even at the end you screwed around with the font and color because who knows why, the title had nothing to do with the story do I need to continue...
Just move to the enemy and let the snipers kill him for you Dustin. Use him as your shield easy peasy Mac n cheesey....
Tell hell hall said get his ass out here now or I will kill everyone here you have 10 seconds to do what I said. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 to late...
Why does Dustin still think he owes his adoptive dad a debt? Sure he saved his life and help raise, taught martial arts etc... till his death but Dustin stayed on and put his life at risk and invested his time and money into his 5 daughters up until they came across their biological brother and kicked him out. Treat him like a thieving dog and have attempted numerous times to kill him. He finally showed some common sense by imprisoning the 1 sister and killing her cousin yet he lets the others slide. With his status and power I would have already killed them off or at the very least taken them and imprisoned them like the 1 and tortured the mom into spilling everything she knows and getting my rightful inheritance, but the author has to drag it out....
He said to mutilate the body and burn it why not start with beheading it and taking it back to show the city and place it as an offering to his family? That's what a great MC would have done....
Lame you change the name of the characters and use the same ole trope how many time are you going to use it? First it was the Langley sisters, then the McCall girl I believe this is the second or third time with Shawna. You need new material author...
Oh my not the weak who the MC showed mercy by not killing him because of some honor bound duty to a dead guy makes a comeback and forces the MC into a corner before the mc finally kills him arc 🤣...
🤣 now this is better just because I took her virginity doesn't mean I'm responsible for her. Love it....
