"Don't you know that Crystal McCauley? Can you help me...ah!"

Before Abraham could finish his words, he covered his broken arm and screamed.

"Sure enough, it's just as Brother Xiao said."

"Xiao? You, you and that guy..."

"Father, you poisoned me, didn't you?"

Lucas wiped the blood off the ice blade and continued to approach the retreating Abraham.

"I-That was Nakamura's plan. It has nothing to do with me!"

"So, what about Sister Annabelle?"

Lucas's expression immediately darkened, forcing Abraham into a corner.

"Eh? You, you mention her now, ah!"

"Now, you want to hurt Sister Crystal again, right?"

Chapter 87 New Clouds

"Hurt, don't say it so harshly, I, I just want to talk to her, that's all."

Abraham forced a smile and tried to explain to Lucas.

"and then?"

"If only she could be your real sister, like Annabelle, ah!"

"You still have the nerve to mention my sister."

Annabelle is Lucas's twin sister and the person he once loved most.

He passed away in an accident several years ago, and Lucas once thought so too.

"That's her fault! Who told her to tell father about my affairs with other women?"

"Just because of this, you killed your own sister? Why would a scum like you and I have the same parents?"

Lucas didn't hide his disgust at all and simply chopped off one of Abraham's legs.

After watching Abraham groan a few times and then faint, Lucas dissipated the ice blade.

"Krum, I'll trouble you to handle the scene."

"Yes!"

Krum entered the room with a few people and immediately began to deal with the scene.

"Brother Xiao should be able to bring back the criminal who killed this guy in a while."

"Master..."

Seeing the tear marks on Lucas' face, Krum also felt very uncomfortable.

"What happens next is going to be troublesome."

"Sakurai, what are you doing?!"

In the dark alley late at night, Nitta drew his knife.

He looked at Xiao, who was dragging something, with hostility. The pungent smell of blood made his nerves tense.

"Wow, it's fate that we meet at this late hour, Masato."

Xiao smiled, not taking the threat seriously at all.

"What's that in your hand?"

"Shouldn't Masato know clearly about your subordinates?"

Xiao threw the corpse in his hand in front of Masato with a mocking smile.

When he saw the face of the corpse, Yaren's expression changed.

"Letting girls play men or something like that, Masato, you don't have that kind of fetish now, do you?"

"Why kill her!"

Yaren growled angrily.

"Aren't you clear about the reason? Wasn't it you who gave the order to have her meet Abraham?"

"You bastard...Pfft!"

Xiao kicked Masato, who was attacking him, away.

"Since I have the opportunity this time, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

Xiao came to Masato and smashed his head hard to the ground.

"When Nao was bullied before, you were involved behind the scenes, right?"

"W-What are you talking about?! How could I possibly… Pfft!"

"If I hadn't questioned those idiots, I wouldn't have known you were the one who ordered them to do it."

"Jing and the others, did they really drop out of school because of you?"

Masato looked at Xiao angrily and tried to break free from his grasp.

"That's right, they were the ones who pushed Nao to that point."

"You are such a bastard, such a scumbag!"

Masato was unable to escape from Akatsuki's control and could only curse him helplessly.

"Yes, so what? What qualifications do you have to say that to me?"

Xiao looked at his childhood playmate with disdain.

"I'm not like you, you bastard. I, I just..."

Yaren refuted without any confidence.

Even with Akatsuki's help, he knew very well that Nao had no such intentions towards him.

So at that time he asked a few girls he was on good terms with to bully Nao a little.

Then Masato helps Nao and wins her heart.

But this naive plan went out of control from the very beginning.

The girls that Masato asked for help all had feelings for him, and their attempts to pick on Nao quickly turned into bullying.

"Just what? Do you know what Nao did because of those idiots?"

"Nao..."

"She cut her wrists at that time. If I had been a little later, she might have..."

Thinking back to the experience at that time, Xiao felt very scared.

"How could Nao... That's not my fault, it's just that Shizuka and the others took things too far..."

"Alas, I was such a fool to believe that you could bring happiness to Nao."

Seeing that Masato was shirking responsibility in such a situation, Xiao was extremely disappointed in him.

"A guy like you is not worthy of Nao!"

"Yes, you are right. And then?"

Akatsuki slams Masato to the ground again.

"Even if someone like you died, that silly girl would still feel sad."

Akatsuki threw Masato to the ground and started dragging the body back up.

"I'll let you go this time for the sake of our past. But don't try to target the people around me again in the future."

"Sakurai Akatsuki!"

Watching Akatsuki disappear into the night, Masato roared helplessly.

In a dimly lit room at the Imperial Capital Investigation Team's headquarters, Masato activated the crystal magic device for communication.

"Brave Master Nitta, what are you doing..."

The people on the other side of the crystal were very surprised to see Yaren's head wrapped in bandages.

"Nothing is wrong, Lord Chancellor Montgomery."

"You suddenly contacted me urgently, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Yaren had no intention of answering, Montgomery took the initiative to change the subject.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Xanthe, your daughter. I failed to protect her."

"Is that so... That girl would surely be proud of dedicating herself to our great cause."

Montgomery saw Yaren's dejected look and comforted him softly.

As for the father himself, he seemed to have no sorrow for the girl named Xansi at all.

Although Xanthe was his youngest daughter, he had plenty of replacements.

"terribly sorry."

"Did something happen there? Do you need me to send some new people?"

Montgomery smiled and hinted, "Do you need me to send a new girl from the Montgomery family to assist you?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but it is not needed right now."

Yaren suppressed his inner disgust and refused as calmly as possible.

"Now, an important matter. It's about you wanting that idiot Warhol to marry Crystal.

I don’t think it’s possible to continue this plan of controlling Warhol and Macaulay.”

"Oh why?"

Masato's idea piqued Montgomery's interest.

"She has an extremely troubled man with her."

"Even Nitta-sama is no match for you?"

“I’m so sorry, but I’m no match for him. And he seemed to know the real purpose of my visit to Warhol from the beginning.

Now Abraham is dead, and Warhol's second son has sided with him."

"What's that man's name?"

"Sakurai Akatsuki."

Montgomery was silent for a moment after hearing the name.

"Is he a time traveler?"

"Yes…"

"I see..."

Montgomery thought for a moment and then gave an order to Masato.

"Please stay at Warhol for a while. We will contact you as soon as we have a new strategy."

"I understand."
