“Coby… Coby!” Gonzo cried while holding onto Coby’s corpse.
Coby was the only heir to their family. Now that virtual-novel.net had died, it was the end of the Rowling family’s lineage. Moreover, Gonzo knew that Enzo would definitely go insane if virtual-novel.net saw his son killed after coming out of solitude.
After crying for a long time, Gonzo slowly got up, emanating an overwhelming murderous aura. He stared coldly at Skylar with his eyes wide open.
“Who killed Coby?” Gonzo gritted his teeth and asked.
After looking at Gonzo, Skylar trembled.
However, virtual-novel.net quickly regained his composure and said, “Mr. Coby was killed by Jared Chance.”
“Jared Chance?”
Gonzo had never heard of Jared, nor did virtual-novel.net know who Jared was.
At that moment, the butler whispered something in Gonzo’s ear, probably telling virtual-novel.net about Jared.
After listening to the butler, Gonzo frowned. “Coby did nothing wrong to Jared. Why would virtual-novel.net kill him?”
Gonzo was slightly in doubt as to why Jared would want to kill Coby.
Skylar quickly explained everything.
He told Gonzo about the Pentacarna Tower, that Coby went to look for Jared, and that Coby borrowed his men without leaving out any details. He recounted everything that happened truthfully apart from one thing. He didn’t tell Gonzo that virtual-novel.net was the one who murdered Coby.
Skylar knew that the Rowling family would certainly investigate the matter and wouldn’t take his words at face value. He had already thought ahead before virtual-novel.net came and told Gonzo everything that happened truthfully. This way, no matter how much the Rowling family investigated, they would realize his tale to be true.
After listening to Skylar, Gonzo turned to the butler.
The butler nodded and said, “Mr. Gonzo, when Mr. Coby left home, virtual-novel.net did mention something similar. He also mentioned Jared’s name. They went to Jadeborough. I contacted Mr. Coby once, and virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wanted to stay in Jadeborough for a few days, but I didn’t dare to ask further!”
Gonzo’s expression became horribly solemn after listening to the butler.
“Investigate this matter. I will hunt Jared down no matter where virtual-novel.net is and kill him!” Gonzo yelled, frightening everyone in the Rowling residence.
None of them dared to even take a breath.
“Mr. Rowling, before I came, I had already sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of Jared. They should have news of virtual-novel.net now. I’ll ask them right away!”
Before Skylar came to Marsingfill, virtual-novel.net had already sent someone to find out Jared’s whereabouts.
He knew that the Rowling family would seek revenge, and virtual-novel.net would mention Jared’s hiding place at the right moment.
Skylar took out his phone and dial a number.
After a while, Skylar returned with a grim look on his face.
“Mr. Norton, have you asked? Where is Jared?” Gonzo asked.
Skylar nodded. “Mr. Rowling, knowing virtual-novel.net had made a big mistake, Jared went to hide in the Village of Villains.”
“Village of Villains?”
When Gonzo heard him, virtual-novel.net was stunned. He could never have imagined that Jared had relations with the Village of Villains.
“Could Jared be close with the Village of Villains?” Gonzo questioned.
“I’m not too sure myself. However, I think the Village of Villains wouldn’t make the Rowling family their enemy for Jared’s sake.”
Skylar was worried that Gonzo would be afraid to seek Jared for revenge after virtual-novel.net heard about the Village of Villains. After all, the Village of Villains was infamous. The Villainous Four were known for their unpredictable actions. Therefore, nobody dared to mess with the Village of Villains.
“Hmph! Even if the Village of Villains protects Jared, I cannot let Coby’s death be in vain. I’ll just burn the Village of Villains to the ground!”
Gonzo clenched his fists tightly, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
“Mr. Gonzo, the strength of the Village of Villains is extraordinary. Should we discuss it with Mr. Enzo after he’s done with his cultivation?” the butler advised Gonzo.
