The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 61

"What's wrong?" The father and son's faces changed.

"There was a team of construction workers who parked a truck right outside our residence, but the vehicle was left behind without anyone spotted in sight. Then, we found Jerrick, the manager of Mount Rochwick's tourism department, to be bloodied and insane."

"What?!"

Felix sprang up from his chair and said, "Let's check out what’s going on!"

When they got to the Jacob Residence's main entrance, they were greeted by the sight of a huge truck that was parked just in front of the main gate. In the meantime, Jerrick was seen sitting in the corner, curling up while hugging his knees. After all, he had been sharing the same space with William's dead body in the dark container, which was believed to have rendered him insane and mad. As soon as Felix and Trevis walked out the door, they asked, "What happened?"

With a pair of soulless eyes on his face, Jerrick pointed at the container with his shivering finger. "M- Mr. Jacob..." Upon hearing Jerrick's words, Felix stepped forward to open the container's lid. After a creaking sound from the door, Felix staggered backward like he had been hit with several bullets, his face turning pale in that instant. When everyone else sensed the man's reaction, they all instantly knew something was wrong. Thus, they all peeked at the container's interior to see what was going on, only to find William's mutilated and amputated corpse lying in a pool of blood. At the same time, the truck's container was filled with an unpleasant and sickening smell that could make anyone's hair stand on end.

While some of the witnesses were so disgusted that they immediately puked there and then, Felix grieved and shouted at the top of his lungs, "William!" After all, William was his favorite and youngest son among his children, so it broke his heart to see him die such a horrible death. "William..." Felix staggered, nearly losing his footing as he was about to faint.

"Dad." Trevis quickly got a hold of his father and told him to pull himself together. "You need to calm down, Dad. We need to find out who murdered William."

When Trevis' words got to his head, Felix opened his eyes wide and strode toward Jerrick, grabbing the latter by his collar and questioning him. "Tell me! Who the f*ck killed my son?!"

Meanwhile, Jerrick appeared to be much calmer now as he replied with a shaking voice, "I-It's a man known as... Mr. Nicholson, but I don't know much about him."

"Mr. Nicholson?" Felix pressed on with a menacing look on his face. "Why did that guy kill my son in such a horrible way?!"

Jerrick answered, "Mr. Nicholson had his men dig up two skeletons from Mount Rochwick, but when Mr. Jacob trampled one of them, that guy went nuts and killed him."

Skeletons? Mr. Nicholson? When Felix heard those two words, he was stupefied and shocked. He then shoved Jerrick aside and looked at Trevis. "Take William's body to the House of Mercy. After that, come see me in the study."

"Alright, Father."

Upon telling his son what to do, Felix made his way back to the study with a hunched back and sat on the chair in a preoccupied manner. At that moment, he seemed as if he had aged by ten years after the surprising event of his son's death. He then set his eyes outside the window, his mind flooded with endless sorrows and worries. Did someone from the Nicholson Family dig up Xavier's and his wife's remains? Is the Nicholson Family's descendant back for revenge? At the thought of that, Felix knitted his eyebrows and murmured to himself, "Wait a second. Was the Summers Residence's destruction related to the Nicholson Family? Because if it was, we're going to be in huge trouble..."

A few moments later, the door was pushed open, whereupon Trevis walked in tearfully. "Dad, William's body has been delivered to the House of Mercy."

Felix nodded, still grieving over his bereavement. "Compile the names of those who are going to attend William's funeral. I'm going to honor him with a grand funeral in five days." He then took a deep breath and pulled himself together. "By the way, are you sure that the Summers Family was wiped out only because they got on the wrong side of Ares? Could there be something else we don't know about?"

"No, there wasn't anything else." Trevis shook his head. "I didn't hear any news about that either."

"What about the land upon which Summers Residence was built? I heard it was bought over by..." Felix paused for a while with a horrified look on his face. "Mr. Nicholson." Although he initially paid no attention to that matter because he thought the buyer was just nothing more than a rich man who was interested in the piece of land, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end at the thought of Mr. Nicholson.

"Dad, what do you think about Mr. Nicholson? Is this guy trying to plot against US?

Felix nodded and replied with a glacial look on his face, "That man is probably just a nobody, so let's not worry about him. If he ever dares to show up again, I'm going to skin him alive to avenge William!" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

In the meantime, Kingsley instructed Leroy

to contact an architecture company for the construction of Nicholson Family Cemetery right after giving his parents a proper burial. When everything was done, he got into his car and held onto the steering tightly, his fingers shivering like crazy. While his parents' remains had been found, he realized he was also one step closer to discovering another murderer. Just wait and see, Jacobs!

Overwhelmed by his anger, Kingsley turned red in his eyes as he began to think about wiping out the entire Jacob Family, but suddenly, his phone's loud ringtone interrupted his train of thought.
