“But Mi’s voice trailed off, her worry still evident in her expression.
She could not help but ponder. “Thats the Four Kings. Once he arrives, there will undoubtedly be bloodshed” “There’s no need for that. If you trust Haylan, enjoy your meal. Everything will be fine, Noah interrupted calmly.

In the daily lat underground bank. Hugh sat in a leather chair, leisurely putting on a cigar. His sharp eyes scanned the discrepancies in the financial records before him. With an icy tone, he asked in a deep voice, “Any updates on Deacon Williams?”
Recently, as Hugh meticulously examined the accounts, he unearthed a plethora of loopholes, particularly in the accounts associated with Deacon. To his utter disbelief, he discovered that Deacon had withdrawn a staggering 20 million dollars loan from their underground bank
That’s such a massive sum of money!
As there was no news of Deacon, it could only mean one thing: Hugh’s hope of recovering the funds was fading away.
Deacon had played him!
Standing beside Hugh were four of his trusted subordinates. Each possessed formidable strength and sharp intellect, making them invaluable assets to Hugh’s operations.
At this moment, their faces were grim, and their silence indicated the severity of the uruation.

As words left his lips, Ben could not help but curse at Deacon. The rage boiling in him made hirn entertain thoughts of seeking vengeance.
Just then, Hugh’s phone rang. interrupting the heavy silence. His face darkened further upon seeing the caller ID. In a rage. Hugh slammed his fist on the table, shattering it into countless fragments. His eyes burned with anger as he muttered through gritted teeth, “Bastard””
“Mr. Hackbart, what’s wrong? Ben asked hurriedly.
“You don’t have to worry about me,” Hugh growled, his voice laced with menace “Remember, if you can’t find Deacon today. I’ll feed you to the fish!”
Hugh’s gaze turned icy as he rose from his seat and commanded, “Prepare the car We’re heading to Twelve High School” Someone had audaciously laid a hand on his woman! How dare they!
He wanted nothing more than to confront the person who had dared lay a hand on has woman. With a burning fury in his heart, he resolved to personally seek out this bastard and deliver a swift and ruthless retribution before disposing of their body in the river
Ben swiftly grabbed his phone and wasted no time arranging a car for Hugh.
At that moment, a call interrupted the tense atmosphere. Ben turned his attention to the phone. The caller reported, “Ben good news. We have finally discovered Deacon’s whereabouts”
Ben’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. He looked up at Hugh, who was about to leave for Twelve High School, and exclaimed, “Mr. Hackbart, we have found Deacon’s whereabouts!”
“Where is he Deacon asked.
“A fishing village, Ben reported.
“Alright, take me to the fishing village!” Hugh’s voice was filled with icy determination as he stared ahead with a piercing gaze.
“Mr. Hackbart, aren’t you planning to the Twelve High School John questioned.
“Deacon’s matter takes precedence, Hugh answered in a cold, determined tone.
He had placed immense trust in Deacon, entrusting him with a substantial amount of money. Yet, Deacon had betrayed has trust and absconded with the funds. It felt like a double betrayal, both on a personal and financial level.
What Hugh hated the most was betrayal!
Therefore, he felt compelled to take matters into his own hands and seek revenge on Deacon However, the primary objective was not only to seek justice but also to retrieve the stolen funds.
As for Suranne, Hugh believed there would be ample opportunity to help her in the future
John, Ben, and the others dared not utter another word. They followed Hugh’s lead, swiftly setting off toward the fishing village.
They, too, harbored a burning rage within their hearts and were eager to unleash their fury upon Deacon. However, upon reaching the fishing village, the group was met with a shocking sight that left them speechless.
What appeared in front of them was not Deacon himself but a skeleton.
An incomplete skeleton!
“This is Deacon Williams?” Hugh asked, his voice turned cold as he locked his eyes on the fishermen and his right-hand man,
Ben.
Ben shot a glance at his subordinates, and his eyes filled with a sense of urgency. “Are you absolutely certain this is Deacon Williams?’ he demanded.
Fear gripped the subordinate’s eyes as he spoke with a trembling voice, “This incomplete skeleton was found by local fishermen in the sea. They discovered a token on the skeleton that had information about Deacon Williams, so they notified
“I’ve already contacted DNA agencies, and after conducting a DNA comparison, it has been confirmed that this skeleton is indeed the body of Deacon Williams.”
Then, the subordinate handed Hugh the broken token and the appraisal agency’s results.
Hugh Croydon glanced at the items, confirming that the broken token indeed belonged to Deacon. It was the same token they had obtained from the church before.
