Chapter 4749
Soren was speechless.
Jakai was a prominent figure. Heaven’s Gate supporting him was no easy opponent to deal with, either. More importantly, he had
deep connections with the Island Nations.
The Islanders would surely use this opportunity to cause an uproar.
Simply put, Golden Sands was in deep trouble.
Soren and the entire Braff family would definitely suffer a lot of pressure soon enough.
He had received a phone call from Wolsing this morning, telling him to solve the case as soon as possible so the people from the
Island Nations or Heaven’s Gate wouldn’t get a chance to take action.
“I looked into the situation, daotranslate.com Sir York. This old bastard had quite a lot of enemies!
“Some of them are peak Kings of Arms, too.
They’re fully capable of killing Jakai with one hit.
“That said, they all have alibis to prove that they had no time to assassinate him in the first place.
“Besides, they aren’t so quick as to be able to do this immediately after hearing about Jakai getting crippled.
“It’s quite troublesome...
“Judging from the higher-ups from Heaven’s Gate, this isn’t just an ordinary assassination.”
At this moment, Darwin revealed a profound look.
Harvey smiled. “No need to hide anything from me, Darwin. You’re trying to say that I’m the biggest suspect here. Right?”
“That’s right,” Soren said.
“We even chased down Chiba and Ramon, just to question them.
“They didn’t hesitate to say that it was you.
“They told us that Jakai threatened to kill you after you crippled him.
“That was why you dealt with the problem once and for all.
“They even said that you had just enough time to do such a thing. Darwin testified for you, but they still wouldn’t believe you.
“The Vaus family of the Heaven’s Gate, in particular, are all screaming to rip you to shreds.
“Even the Nobita family are itching to take action as well. Jakai’s son-in-law is the family’s head.
“You should be careful, Sir York.
“Especially with Jakai’s daughter, Monica Vaus!
“Not only did she receive all of her father’s teachings, but she was also taught the Nobita family’s swordsmanship after she got
married into the family.
“Her strength may have already surpassed Jakai.
“I received word that she’s heading here all the way from the Island Nations.
“With her diplomatic passport, nobody can stop her from entering the border.”
Soren showed a bitter expression.
“You need to watch out for the next few days. I’ll make sure the SWAT team keeps you and your family safe.
“Don’t decline the offer. I know you’re not afraid of these things, but it’s hard to deal with enemies that you can’t see. My father
will kill me if anything bad happens to you!
“I’ll find the culprit soon to prevent any chaos from happening in the city, too.”
Harvey nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself.”
Soren nodded. His expression was grim. ”
Why do you think the culprit wanted Jakai dead?”
“To cause more chaos in the city, of course,”
Harvey replied.
“Not only does the culprit know when exactly Jakai arrived at Golden Sands, but...
“They immediately took action after I crippled Jakai.
“They’re trying to shift the blame to me and give the outsiders an opportunity to strike.”
