The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1974

“Is it because that woman has been robbed of her position as Flying Eagles’ commander, so she was angry and frantic and came here to go on a killing spree?”

“How dare she! I always thought that she was a responsible and just woman, it turns out that it was all a lie! She put on a front for the people. She’s killed so many of us. Even her death will not be able to assuage her guilt!”

The people who had come here were basically families of those from the government. These people usually sat on their high horses and didn’t place any significance on others in their eyes. Though they also had some knowledge of the happenings in the ancient boundary, it didn’t raise their respect toward Jade.

The daughter-in-law from the Levine family turned to Darnic with red-rimmed eyes and said, “Commander Young, you’re now Flying Eagles’ commander. All our sons who have died are your subordinates! There’s a murderer on the loose in a time of peace, going around killing people as they please. Aren’t you going to lead your people to bring Benmore to justice?”

“Jade Benmore has a lot of achievements under her belt,” Darnic said. “Regardless of whether they are true or false, they are all registered with the Chief. Moreover, this person is amazingly powerful, and ordinary people aren’t her opponents at all. What more, when she left, she also took with her several powerful masters. With all of them gathered together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Oh, unless…”

“Unless what?”

“Unless the Chief gives the order to send armed troops to suppress her!”

“That will not be a problem. We will contact all thirty six families and hold the Grand Conference.”

On the other side, Jade and Alex brought Geronimo Melvis back to the Melvis family first.

They didn’t know that Darnic was uniting countless families with important influences and planned to hold a Grand Conference and force the Chief to issue an order to form a crusade against Jade.

It was only this moment that Alex discovered Nickolas Dyer, who had worked diligently in the Melvis family for decades, was dead.

This old man had once saved Brittany and her mother and also had cancer some time ago. It had taken considerable effort for Alex to save him, and it was unexpected that he would be beaten to death just a few months after.

“Oh, Flying Eagles are so shameless. They actually acted so ruthlessly toward a weak man.”

“What’s the use of having a department with people like this?”

Then, Alex gave Brittany a call to tell her that Nickolas had passed on.

Brittany was shocked and immediately said that she would come over to pay her last respects to him.

***

Nickolas had stayed in the Melvis family all his life. To the Melvis family, he was considered a part of their family.

Alex was grateful for the life-saving grace Nickolas had shown his mother and grandmother and hoped to give him a grand funeral.

Geronimo readily agreed to it. Even Lexia Rogers had nothing to say against it.

The funeral hall was set up in Melvis Manor the same day.
