“Indeed, it was I who poisoned your parents with the wug. At that time, Mrs. Cox was already pregnant with you, so part of the poison entered your body through her. I thought you would be stillborn, but to my surprise, she risked her life to safely give birth to you. Even though you didn’t die, your body remained weak and sickly, always on the brink of death. As the poison from the wug continued to intensify, Mr. Elias and his wife soon passed away.” 

Listening to Albert’s words, Avery’s hand clenched tightly into a fist. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the sound of his bones creaking could be heard. 

“Who’s pulling your strings? Or are you the mastermind?” 

Albert hastily replied, “No, I’m not the mastermind. I really am not! I was just following Matthew’s orders. He told me to do it! He assured me that as long as Mr. Elias and his wife were eliminated, he would support me to take over as the head of the Cox family. But somehow, the Cox family ended up electing you as the new head, and Matthew didn’t object. He just told me to be patient and wait a little longer…” 

At this point, he became impassioned. Dragging his broken body, he painstakingly crawled towards Avery. 

“I beg you, Mr. Cox. I truly am not the mastermind. I merely followed Matthew’s orders. He coerced and enticed me. If I did not obey him, he would have killed me. I had no choice but to do as he demanded. I truly didn’t do it on purpose. Please, spare my life…” 

“Spare your life?” 

A devious smile suddenly appeared on Avery’s face. 

It was an expression revealed only when one reached the pinnacle of one’s fury. 

“Because of you, my parents are dead and I’ve been poised. Now, you expect me to spare your life? Are you joking? Or did I hear wrong?” 

Albert looked at Avery’s expression, his body suddenly shaking uncontrollably as he was terrified to the point of wetting himself. 

He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself further, but found himself unable to utter a word. 

His throat felt as if it was being strangled, unable to make even the slightest sound. 

At that moment, Avery no longer wanted to see Albert’s detestable face. 

He glanced at Irwin and commanded, “Take him away and deal with him as you see fit.” 

Irwin quickly acknowledged the order and did as he was told.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In less than fifteen minutes, Irwin had already returned. 

“Mr. Cox, he has breathed his last. How should we deal with his body? Should we simply throw it out to the dogs 

or 

“Feeding him to the dogs would be letting him off too easy. Since he and Matthew conspired together, we should deliver such a grand gift to Matthew.” 

Irwin understood Avery’s intentions and immediately set out to carry out the task. 

The following morning, a parcel arrived at Matthew’s residence. 

10:27 Tue, 12 Dec 

A 

@ 96% It was a large, square box. When Matthew’s butler opened it, he was so startled by what he saw inside that he >screamed. He fell to the ground, scrambling backward in a state of utter panic. 

Backing away, he pointed at the box, babbling incoherently, “There’s… There’s a dead person!” 

When he heard those words, Matthew’s expression darkened. He walked over to take a look. With just one glance inside, his face changed instantly. 

What was contained within the box wasn’t just a corpse but a dismembered one at that. 

The face that was glaring up at him was none other than Albert’s. 

Even he, who had been through a lot, couldn’t help but step back a few paces, his face as white as a ghost. It took him a good while to regain his senses before he asked in a hoarse voice, “Who sent this? Who?” 

At that moment, the butler was drenched in sweat, shaking his head in confusion and completely clueless about what was going on. 

After some thought, Matthew could only think of one person-Avery. 

This box must have definitely been sent by Avery! What does he mean? Is he trying to intimidate me? Why did he get rid of Albert? Could it be that he knows something? How much does he know? 

For a moment, countless questions flashed through his mind. He didn’t have the slightest clue, yet he knew the situation was extremely dire. 

During this period, Bartitsu Guild had been on the offensive, while the Cox family was put on the defensive. But now, Avery signaled with his actions that the tables were about to turn. 

This is clearly a declaration of war! Declaring war with Albert’s corpse implies that Avery must have learned something. Regardless of what he knows, it’s extremely disadvantageous for me. 

Although Avery was young, Matthew knew that the consequences would be unimaginable if such a person were to 

come for him. 

The thought caused his face to darken considerably, while a glint of malice flashed in his eyes. 

When Neera found out that Albert was indeed the culprit who had poisoned Avery’s parents years ago and conspired with Matthew, she was not surprised. 

She had already anticipated such an outcome. 

While she felt a sense of melancholy, she also felt relieved for Avery. 

In the end, the real culprit from back then had been found and the truth has been revealed. At least Avery’s parents could now rest in peace, and Avery himself had no regrets in his life. 

At the same time, she also knew that because of this, a bloody storm was to sweep across Phison. 

Sure enough, the very next day, unforeseen events began to happen across Phison. 

The heads of some minor families mysteriously disappeared, and their disappearances were quite peculiar. 

Most of them were from Bartitsu Guild, but a small portion was from Lordsworth Estate which had engaged Bartitsu Guild. 

For a moment, there was widespread panic, and rumors could be heard everywhere, especially on the internet: 

What’s going on? This is terrifying. How did so many people disappear overnight? And they’re all family heads and elders? 

I really don’t know, I’ve only heard such rumors, but I didn’t expect them to be true. What on earth is going on? Have these people just vanished into thin air? That’s impossible! 

I heard they all disappeared in the dead of night. Could it be that the gates of hell opened and the Grim Reaper came here to take them away? 

Hey you, this is not something to joke about, especially at a time like this. If this continues, who knows who might disappear next time! 

Small fries like us should be fine, right? I heard rumors that those who disappeared were all from certain families, including the elders within those families. But where have all these people been taken to? Why are these individuals being targeted? 

Oh 

my, this is so frightening. What’s going on? I feel like the Phison is in an upheaval. Is the previous illusion of peace about to end? Could it be that a war is really about to break out on both sides? 

Don’t jump to conclusions. Nothing is certain about this matter yet, and we don’t have any leads. It might not even be related to Bartitsu Guild or Lordsworth Estate. Let’s just wait and see. 

On my God! According to those in the know, the heads of those minor families all had a finger severed before they disappeared. When people discovered they were missing, they would find a severed pinky on the bed. 

Oh my, it has suddenly became so terrifying! 

I hope this case is solved quickly. If things continue like this, we won’t be able to stay in the Phison, anymore… 

When Neera saw these messages, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease, an inexplicable tension rising 

within her. 

“Could this be the work of Bartitsu Guild?” She turned her head to look at Jean. Her first reaction was to suspect Matthew. 

Jean was quite surprised and asked her, “Why do you suspect Matthew? Haven’t you ever suspected that it was Lordsworth Estate? After all, it’s hard to say in such matters.”
