Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 156

"I'm giving you all three days! I want to see the killer's head on Rowan's grave when he's buried three days later!"

Disregarding the expressions of others, Julius turned around and got into the car.

The black-clad men cleaned up the scene with professional precision, leaving nothing behind.

"Hector, you were too impulsive! Julius has practically gone mad at this point!"

"In any case, this is a direct challenge to us Cranes! We can stay low-key, but we can't let others think we're weak!"

Clearly, the others didn't agree with Hector either.

Julius could only sigh. Qranross was undoubtedly entering a turbulent period, and chaos was likely to follow.

…

Daniel pushed open the door, only to find Scarlet standing there with a flushed face, holding a stack of documents. His sudden appearance startled her, causing her to drop the documents in her arms.

Daniel swiftly caught the documents and handed them back to Scarlet. He then tapped her on the head. "Eavesdropping isn't exactly a good habit, you know."

With that, he strode away.

Scarlet took a deep breath to compose herself before walking into the office.

Charlene was extremely embarrassed. She hadn't expected Daniel to actually… It was simply too humiliating!

Especially when Scarlet looked at her with a gossipy expression, Charlene couldn't help but glare at her. "Alright! Get back to work. If we get through this crisis, everyone gets a bonus! And you'd better keep your mouth shut!"

"Heh, I know," Scarlet said, then covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

Daniel's mind was still racing, trying to figure out who was behind the scheme. Suddenly, he noticed an old man with a cane walking past him.

The old man was blind, his eyes a stark white, giving off an eerie feeling.

If the old blind man was part of the scheme, he wouldn't have targeted just the Ashcroft family. Others must have seen him too!

After hearing Daniel's description of the old blind man, Conor fell into deep thought. "An old blind man? Let me think…"

"Ah! I remember now!" he suddenly exclaimed. "When I got into that car accident, there was an old blind man nearby. He had a cane and was dressed in tattered clothes. But what really stood out were those pale white eyes of his."

If Daniel hadn't brought it up, he would have completely forgotten about it.

When Laila heard that, she also couldn't help but chime in, "I think I've seen that old blind man too. Let me think… It was the day after the company went bankrupt! He was right outside the company!"

A smile finally appeared on Daniel's face. Once the truth was revealed, the mystery lost its allure.

He picked up the phone to call Alden. If he wanted to find someone in Qranross, Alden's team was the most efficient option.

"Alden, I need you to find someone for me. Someone very important."
