Dead Men Tell No Tales
Before they got the chance to make a sound, they had already fallen to the ground.
Skylar wiped the blood off his sword while looking at the three fallen bodies.
“Don’t blame me. I don’t want anyone to know about this. Hence, you’ll be taking this secret to your
grave.”
As he finished, he dragged his injured body and rushed back to the Norton residence.
He killed the subordinates of his family because he wanted to frame Jared without any loose ends.
Apart from him, no one else would know of the truth.
When Skylar returned home, he immediately sent his men to collect the corpses of Coby and his men
and deliver the bodies to the Rowling residence by car.
The next day, after bidding a reluctant farewell to Lizbeth, Jared followed Rayleigh to the Village of
Villains.
Axton sent a few people to accompany Rayleigh because the latter no longer had any powers.
After arriving at the Village of Villains, Rayleigh would have to rush back. Axton was worried that he
might be in danger.
The Village of Villains was located in a valley between two mountains.
From a distance, it looked like a narrow gap.
However, it would reveal a spacious area with many natural cave formations after walking in.
The environment of the Village of Villains was much worse than that of the Medicine God Sect. Most of
them resided in caves.
Jared and the others walked for three days straight before finally arriving at the border of the Village of
Villains.
Meanwhile, Skylar had already arrived at the Rowling residence with Coby’s corpse.
The Rowling family was one of the most prominent families in Marsingfill.
As the head of the family, Enzo had achieved the strength of a Martial Arts Marquis.
Nonetheless, Enzo was a martial arts fanatic. Despite having invincible strength in Marsingfill, he
continued to cultivate.
He had been in solitude all year round, so it wasn’t easy for Coby to see him.
Enzo’s younger brother, Gonzo, handled all the affairs of the Rowling family.
“Mr. Gonzo, there’s someone outside requesting your presence.”
At this moment, the butler of the Rowling family walked into the hall and informed Gonzo.
“Who is it?” Gonzo asked the butler impatiently.
“He said he’s Skylar, from the Norton family. He’s here to send Mr. Coby home,” the butler informed
hurriedly.
Hearing this, Gonzo hurriedly stood up and growled, “Coby… He never stays put. I can’t even see him
most of the time. He left the house for so many days this time. Even Enzo couldn’t see him after
coming out of seclusion for two days. I must teach him a lesson this time.”
Gonzo hurriedly followed the butler outside.
As soon as Gonzo walked outside, he saw a crowd surrounding a car.
“Make way. Mr. Gonzo is here!” the butler shouted, and everyone quickly cleared a path.
At this moment, Skylar got out of the car and greeted Gonzo.
“Mr. Gonzo, this is Skylar from the Norton family in Jadeborough,” the butler said to Gonzo.
Gonzo extended his hand and shook hands with Skylar. Then, he asked, “Mr. Norton, where’s Coby?
Bring him to me.”
Skylar’s eyes suddenly turned red as soon as he heard, and tears began to flow down his cheeks.
“Mr. Rowling. It’s all my fault. I failed to protect Mr. Coby.”
Gonzo was stunned after hearing Skylar’s words.
Immediately afterward, Gonzo opened the car door and saw Coby, who had been long dead, lying in
the backseat.
“Coby!” Looking at the dead Coby, Gonzo roared.
His vision began to fade, and he passed out on the spot.
“Mr. Gonzo!”
The butler anxiously carried Gonzo to his room.
The dead bodies of Coby and the others were also carried inside.
After a brief moment, Gonzo slowly woke up. When he saw Coby’s body lying in the hall, he began to
cry.
