Chapter 326 Better a Thousand Dead Than One Free

Darius continued, “Mr. Solomon, Mr. Gabriel had been investigating Evan’s connection to the Solbergs. He was planning to make a move on him. Could it be that Evan sensed the danger and decided to strike first, killing Mr.. Gabriel before anything could happen?”

“That’s right! Out of everyone in Silverton, Evan has the strongest reason to want Mr. Gabriel dead!” several members of the Norwood family chimed in.

A stir swept through the crowd at once.

Darius’ reasoning spread like wildfire. It sounded plausible-almost too plausible.

Stefan and Cynthia were on the verge of panic. ‘The Norwoods are despicable! They’re pushing/Evan straight into the fire!’

Yet Cain showed no reaction. His expression remained calm and unreadable, betraying neither anger nor approva

“Evan Norwood? Norwood?”

It was Nightingale’s team who reacted instead, their expressions shifting as they exchanged glances.

When Gabriel had died, he had realized something and managed to utter the word “Norwood.” They had assumed he’d figured out who hired them.

‘Could it be this man?’

“Do you know him well here in Silverton?” Nightingale asked. Zeke’s expression changed immediately. “Of course I do. He’s nothing more than my stand-in.”

With clear disdain, he went on to explain how, during his three years away, the three heiresses had treated Evan as a substitute for him.

Hearing this, Nightingale and the others realized they had been mistaken. Someone like that-a complete nobody could never have hired them to kill Gabriel. Just making contact with the Black Sun required an incredibly high threshold. There might not even be anyone in Silverton capable of it.

“What, you think he hired you? That’s impossible. He’s the least likely person!” Zeke snapped, clearly agitated now that he understood their line of thought. He knew Evan far too well.

Darius had tried to shift the blame onto Evan, but Cain remained unmoved. How could he not see that his son’s death was riddled with inconsistencies? There was no way he would take someone else’s word at face value. Still, once his son’s funeral was over, he would personally uncover the truth.

“All of you listen carefully. Until the murderer of my son is found, no one is allowed to leave Silverton. From this moment on, Silverton allows entry, but no exit!” Cain’s voice rang across the entire venue.

Everyone felt their hearts jolt. Their scalps tingled as if they were about to split apart.

If anyone else had said such words, it might have sounded like empty bravado. But coming from Cain, no one dared to question it–because he could truly make it happen.

“Ciel!” Cain called out.

“Sir.”

A middle-aged man with an imposing presence stepped forward. He was one of Cain’s 13 most trusted disciple entrusted with governing one of Silverton State’s 14 cities. Having trained under Cain, his mastery of Hardbod Technique was equally formidable.

“While I escort Gabriel home, the Obsidian Order will be under your command. If anyone dares take even one s out of Silverton–kill them on sight.”

Only then did everyone realize that Cain’s purpose in coming to Silverton had merely been to take Gabriel’s bo home. A funeral would follow.

Cain’s lineage placed immense importance on ceremony and prestige. Even with the killer still at large, there w no way they would let his son’s body remain unburied. He would be given a grand, lavish funeral
