One sentence of saying “groundless”.
Even if it was Killian, he couldn’t help his eyes twitching, feeling helpless.
The sudden assassination, as soon as it happened, it was thunderous and stormy.
In just over two days, the image of the Hughes Family was disgraced, and the pressure was overwhelming.
It almost killed George.
If such an assassination was still “groundless”, then it didn’t make sense.
The so called “groundless” meant that it was temporarily impossible to find out who was behind the thing.
Just looking at George on the bed, Killian’s handsome face showed a dark color.
George’s character was arrogant, defiant, impulsive and reckless.
Usually, he relying on his identity as the heir to the Hughes Family, he often rampaged and swaggered through the day.
There were so many enemies, therefore under current situation, it was difficult to find out who was behind the scenes and controlling the assassination in a short period of time.
This person dared to assassinate in the Hughes Family, it meant that the master behind was not afraid of the power of the Hughes Family.
However, Killian knew very well that it was reasonable for George to provoke such a person.
“Killian, help me…”
George grabbed Killian’s hand weakly, tears in his eyes, “I have had enough of this kind of life, and I really don’t want to continue.”
Tears filled his eyes, even his voice was trembling.
“You take a good rest, the Hughes Family intelligence force has been notified since the first day by the head of the family, the matter is thoroughly investigated, but there is no result yet.”
Killian pushed the golden framed glasses on his nose, his eyes flickering, “Outside your house, there are now three hundred servants guarding it, enough to keep you safe.”
“But…”
George collapsed.
Since being assassinated for the first time, he had mobilized as many family servants as possible to protect him.
The three hundred guards were doubled by the number before.
But this… could it really work?
He didn’t wait for George to finish.
Killian stood up, walked out, and left with a cold sentence, “You have to rest.”
On the bed, George was completely dumbfounded.
Before the tears ran out of the eyes, they quietly evaporated from his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot, but his weak body burst into energy at this time, his hands clenched into fists.
He gritted his teeth and made a crunchy sound when the teeth rubbed on each other.
The red eyes stared at the closed door.
Boom!
The next second, George slammed a fist on the bed.
Howling, “We are brothers, I am wandering between life and death. You are my elder brother, why are you so indifferent? Killian, do you treat me as your brother?”
Grief, resentment, anger…
After Killian left George’s small yard, he once again urged the guards to watch out carefully.
Then he walked towards another Hughes family yard instead of going home directly.
It was quiet in the dark night.
The small yard was brightly lit.
When Killian walked into the yard, he saw Carter sitting there, sipping tea and admiring the moon.
“Killian, let’s have tea together.”
Carter didn’t feel surprised when he saw Killian, smiled and made a invitation gesture.
“Uncle Carter, did you know I was coming?”
Killian was taken aback, and sat down, staring at Carter.
“Kiddo, someone who can be respected by my mother, don’t I have to make an effort, try to figure out what you think?”
After this, the corners of Killian’s mouth could not resist but to curl up.
Obviously, he was satisfied with the compliment of Carter.
Carter made a cup of tea for Killian calmly, and said with a smile, “Your shrewdness is quite deep enough, on an ordinary day you look cold. In fact, as an uncle, I know that you take George’s affairs to the heart.”
When he mention this.
Killian couldn’t help sitting up, pushing up the glasses on his nose.
He came over now indeed for this matter.
Now that Carter brought it up, he said straightforward, “I think this thing is weird.”
“Everyone knows it’s weird.”
Carter shrugged and smiled weirdly. “It’s just that everyone is pretending not to know the strangeness of this matter.”
Killian was stunned.
What did he mean?
Immediately afterwards, Carter said slowly, “Let the head of the family check first. Since the head promised us three days, then let’s give him three days. My mother also said that if after three days and under the help of the family intelligence power he still can’t figure out, she will bypass Patrick and use other power to investigate.”
After the family meeting was over, he and old Madame Hughes left the Meeting hall last, because both mother and son felt that something was wrong.
The head of the Hughes family, Patrick, who had always been dignified and domineering, was actually aggressive at the family meeting and ended the meeting hastily in a rogue way.
This was simply an incredible, almost absurd thing.
“Other power?”
Killian’s eyes lit up immediately, “Can Grandma really help George?”
Carter smiled helplessly, “Don’t ask me, my mother didn’t tell me, but don’t worry, you are the person my mother values, and George is your brother. She will not just sit back and watch. ”
“Thank you Uncle Carter.”
Killian got up and respectfully bowed to Carter, “Please thank grandma for me.”
“It’s okay, these three days, let the head take care of it, don’t mess around, just watch the changes.” Carter said.
Killian’s expression sank, “But I don’t want George to be continuously assassinated like this, I have to do something for him.”
Just as he said that.
Carter’s hand that was making tea stopped.
The atmosphere instantly became weird.
In the next second.
Carter raised his head, his gaze was sharp, as if a sharp sword pierced Killian.
At this moment, Carter changed his usual gentleness, giving him a frosty, burly sense of fear.
There was a great change in momentum!
And Killian was caught off guard, there was a sense of panic shrouding in chills.
“Killian, you must remember that you are the person my mother values!”
Carter’s imposing manner, the word “value” was extremely heavy, obviously used as a reminder for Killian.
After a pause, Carter said slowly, with a cold voice, like a cold wind blowing from the deep.
“You also have to remember that ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man. Those who do big things don’t stick to the trivial things. If you are bound by mere affair, how could it happen? Don’t let my mother and me be disappointed in you.”
Killian’s body trembled, behind his gold framed glasses, his eyes were dark.
Finally.
He took a deep breath, and his blinking eyes became firm.
“I see, thank you Uncle Carter for your guidance.”
Looking at Killian who was leaving.
Carter’s aura was still there, like a panic stricken mountain, sweeping across the small yard.
The dazzling light made it hard to be ignored.
Gradually, Carter stood solemnly on the ground, suddenly drawing a smile.
His eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light lingered.
There was a touch of weird contempt and disdain on his smile, but finally he shook his head…
