Chapter 402 The Beck Family
The Fifth Master glared at them and sneered. He asked, “What can you do? Do you want to investigate the death of the old president?”
“We want to investigate,” Draxton said.
“Why should I believe you?” the Fifth Master’s gaze became sharp, and he stared at them as if he wanted to determine if their words were true or false.
“Because we’re Julian’s enemy,” Draxton said.
The Fifth Master was silent for a moment before saying, “I have evidence of Julian killing the old president.”
Isabella looked at him appraisingly.
The Fifth Master looked at the two of them and said, “My lover’s name is Hannah. She worked for the old president. She organized and kept the old president’s important documents.
“On the day Julian and Cecilia killed the old president, the old president probably had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he handed a case to Hannah and asked her to take it out and hand it to Landon.
“Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Julian’s people in the end. They killed her.”
“Where’s the case? Is that the potion in the case?”
The Fifth Master recovered from his sorrow and glared at them again. He said angrily, “And you mention you’re not here for the Black Crystal Potion? Hmph!”
Isabella did not argue with him and asked again, “How do you know all this?”
“I went to look for Hannah at that time. Coincidentally, Landon’s people reached there quite quickly. Julian’s people were afraid of being exposed, so they ran away.
“Hannah was still breathing when I found her. She told me that she had hidden the case below the stone table behind the old president’s office.
“Due to the chaos, no one paid attention to the stone table. She realized that it was not safe and had hidden the case first. Therefore, Julian’s staff did not discover the case.
“She told me to give the case to Landon, and then she stopped breathing.
“I didn’t pass the case to Landon after taking out the case. I opened the case and found the potion.
“At that time, I only wanted to take revenge. In a fit of rage, I injected that potion into my body.”
“But what you said can’t completely accuse Julian. There’s not enough substantive evidence.” Isabella said.
The Fifth Master said, “I later obtained the surveillance camera of the president’s residence. Julian thought that he had eliminated all the evidence, but he didn’t know that the most fatal issue was that the entire process of him killing the old president was in my hands.”
“Since the evidence is in your hands, why haven’t you avenged your lover all these years?” Isabella asked.
The Fifth Master looked defeated.
Then, he scolded, “That useless Landon. I thought that he could draw with Julian. When the time comes, I’ll show evidence and kill Julian.
“However, Landon failed. There’s still Cecilia, that slut. With Clan and the Grey family helping Julian, I’ll be looking for suicide if I take out the evidence.”
“Doesn’t the council care?” Isabella frowned.
The Fifth Master snorted. “The council does care. After all, killing the president is a huge crime. However, Julian is very cunning. If we can’t kill him in one strike and let him find an opportunity to escape, won’t all our previous efforts be wasted?
“All these years, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to kill him completely.”
He looked at Isabella and Draxton and said, “I heard that Landon has returned to the Paradise Settlement. Because of you guys, perhaps, you guys are the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.”
