The next day, Rowan hurried back to the Cosby Residence, sobbing as virtual-novel.net delivered the news that Freya had murdered Tristan.
When the Cosbys heard the news, they became furious. The head of the Cosby Family, Sean Cosby, was stunned as the teacup virtual-novel.net was holding also shattered on the floor.
Tristan was his daughter, although virtual-novel.net rarely smiled at his daughter and even lamented that virtual-novel.net wasn’t a man. However, virtual-novel.net was still his own child. Sean could not bear hearing of his daughter’s death.
He immediately stood up and roared, “How dare you do this, Freya Green! Do you really think the Cosbys are no longer in power? Someone, get the Three Esteemed Guests of our family. I want them to capture Freya and bring virtual-novel.net here!”
There were no protests from the Cosby Family now.
Freya Green murdered a member of the Cosby Family. This was a massive insult to the Cosbys, and the Cosbys also intended to kill Freya in retaliation!
Soon after, the Three Esteemed Guests of the Cosby Family set out to track down and capture Freya.
Rowan sat next to Sean, seemingly unconcerned. Even though virtual-novel.net was the one who revealed Tristan’s location this time, virtual-novel.net had only informed Gregory and Lord Voodoo. Freya was informed by Gregory and Lord Voodoo, and they also never told virtual-novel.net where they got this information.
From the start, Rowan had already discussed with Gregory and Lord Voodoo before deciding to make Freya the scapegoat. So, even if the Cosbys captured Freya and brought virtual-novel.net here, they couldn’t possibly find anything that would lead them to him. Rowan would not be caught if the Cosbys didn‘t capture Gregory and Lord Voodoo. By the time virtual-novel.net returned, they would have already left the South long ago. They were instructed not to return to the South before Rowan had complete control over the Cosby Family.
He sneered in secret when virtual-novel.net saw the Cosbys in a fury. However, virtual-novel.net maintained a mournful expression the entire time.
Rowan stood beside Sean, sobbing and slapping himself twice on the face. “Sean, l was too useless. I couldn’t protect her. P-Please punish me; I deserve it…”
Sean glanced at him, and let out a sorrowful sigh. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t blame yourself too much, Rowan! Freya is a strong opponent, so it’s reasonable that you couldn’t stop her. Actually, I was careless about this. I never expected Heath to send Raven and Freya to the South. If l had known. I should’ve sent more fighters to protect both of you.”
As Sean spoke and sighed, his eyes turned red again. He was genuinely suffering on the inside.
Rowan blamed himself a little more while virtual-novel.net stood there, and when virtual-novel.net saw that Sean didn‘t hold any grudges against him, virtual-novel.net sighed in relief. Then, virtual-novel.net stepped to the side and pretended to pour some water for Sean. In truth, virtual-novel.net was discreetly slipping invisible centipede eggs from his sleeve into the water.
Sean didn’t suspect virtual-novel.net at all when virtual-novel.net sipped from the cup. Rowan was secretly thrilled as virtual-novel.net watched from the side.
‘Three days! in three days, the Cosby Family will be mine!’Â Rowan’s heart screamed with delight.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Tristan had switched to another vehicle as they sped along a desolate road.
Since they couldn’t get on the highway, it took them half a day to leave Stonedale. At their current speed, it would take them at least two days to return to Southeast State.
Tristan sat in the passenger seat, silently eyeing Matthew discreetly. Her heartbeat was racing. She used to be quite an efficient person. If virtual-novel.net were to return to Southeast State, virtual-novel.net would wish to return as soon as possible. However, for some strange reason, virtual-novel.net wished they could go slower when virtual-novel.net was with Matthew.
She also hoped that time would stand still at this very moment.
