Cheyenne once again raised her hand and slapped her.
This time, she used even more force than before.
Jaelynn’s face swelled up like a pig’s head, and she glared angrily at Cheyenne.
“I really underestimated you before.”
“Iker, even though I’m a prisoner now, Cheyenne’s abuse of me also violates the law, doesn’t it?”
She voiced her dissatisfaction and questioned.
Upon hearing her words, the man merely raised an eyebrow, a graceful smile curling up his lips.
He laughed, his voice tinged with mockery.
“Really? Didn’t you just get too excited and hit your face on the wall?”
“Who hit you? Anyway, no one laid a hand on you. Did anyone else see it?”
The deputy quickly shook his head, answering with a playful grin, “Master Iker, I didn’t see anything either.”
“Her face might have been bitten by a poisonous snake, after all, this is Serpent Island.”
Finally, his adjutant showed some intelligence, and Iker gave him an appreciative look.
“Good job on capturing the criminal this time.”
“When we get back, I’ll lift your ban. Don’t use toy guns again; I can’t afford to be humiliated like that.”
Since when was Master Iker so easy to talk to?
Could it be that his conscience finally surfaced?
Whatever the reason, it was a good thing, and the deputy was moved to tears.
“Thank you, Master Iker. I will complete my tasks well and serve the country.”
“Rise.”
Not only did Iker lie with his eyes open, but Omari also had his own way of retaliating.
“General Jaelynn seems to have forgotten that I’m a lawyer.”
“In the situation just now, Cheyenne was acting in self-defense. On the contrary, you’ve added another charge of attempted murder.”
“By the way, your niece Elsa is an accomplice. If she were alive, she would be handcuffed and taken back for trial just like you.”
“But she’s dead now. According to regulations, if no family member claims the body, the authorities are entitled to treat it as an unidentified corpse.”
There’s a Field of a Thousand Corpses on the island.
Jaelynn had previously thrown failed test subjects there, and now the Field would gain another unclaimed female corpse.
Cheyenne’s eyes lit up, as she had personally seen how eerie and terrifying the Field of a Thousand Corpses was.
“Mr. Lara, that’s a good idea.”
“How dare you! Elsa is the heir of the Weaver family, and you call her an unidentified female corpse? How venomous can you be!”
Jaelynn had been ready to surrender, but just hearing that they were going to throw her niece’s body into the Field of a Thousand Corpses almost drove her insane.
“Venomous?”
Omari sneered with a cold, mocking tone upon hearing the word.
“Who can compare to you two in venomousness?”
“You tortured your soldiers to death.”
“They were brave men defending the country, yet they died at your hands! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
And Elsa’s actions over the years-bullying men and women, forcing the good into prostitution!
The aunt and niece duo deserved to die!
“I…”
Mentioning the soldiers who died unjustly, Jaelynn felt a slight pang of guilt.
They were soldiers she had personally trained, and she naturally felt regret.
But for her grand ambitions, she was willing to sacrifice even herself, let alone them.
However, when such things happened to her beloved niece Elsa, just thinking about it drove her mad!
At this moment, a tall, lean figure in black walked in from outside.
The newcomer’s gaze lightly fell on Jaelynn, cold and mocking.
“From today, the Weaver family will be under my control. You needn’t worry about that, Aunt.”
“You, you’re unfit! A bastard with an unknown father, you want to be the head of the Weaver family? I’d rather die than agree.”
Master Glenn responded with a wild laugh.
“Then rest assured, Aunt. You’re about to die, so you won’t see the day I become the head of the Weaver family.”
After saying this, he nodded to Cheyenne and the others.
“I owe my safe exit from Dragon Serpent Isle prison to Miss Lawrence’s help. I owe you two favors.”
“If there’s a chance, I will repay you. As for that corpse…”
“Unfortunately, it’s been so chewed up by fish that I can’t recognize its identity. You can dispose of it as you see fit.”
Master Glenn was indeed a smart man.
He was the only other member of the Weaver family present besides Jaelynn. If he had demanded Elsa’s body, they wouldn’t dare refuse.
Certainly, given his and Elsa’s longstanding enmity, there was no need for him to handle her remains. However, Master Glenn did not elaborate on this, instead explaining that he did not recognize the identity of the corpse.
Firstly, as the future head of the Weaver family, this matter would not provide others with grounds to impeach him. Secondly, it also gave Omari a gesture of goodwill.
Following the upheaval caused by Jaelynn and Elsa, the relationship between the two families had plummeted to an all-time low. Trying to repair this relationship in the future would undoubtedly be a thorny problem for him. Today’s gesture might prompt Omari to be more lenient, seeing that Glenn had offered some help.
Omari graciously accepted this goodwill. “Master Glenn has confirmed the identity of the body, so there should be no issue. Men, take this unidentified female corpse to the Field of a Thousand Corpses for cremation.”
“Yes, sir.”
The secret of the Field of a Thousand Corpses had become a taboo on the island to prevent causing public panic and unrest. Both nations had agreed to cremate the bodies and transform the tunnel into a large cemetery, to honor the spirits of the heroes.
Of course, considering Elsa’s numerous heinous acts during her lifetime, she did not deserve to be buried alongside the martyrs. Omari wanted her to remain there forever, as a penitent, witnessing their cruelty firsthand.
“Poof!” Jaelynn fainted from rage. She had dominated the scene for over twenty years, her name striking fear into many. In the end, she was a prisoner, trampled underfoot by the very person she despised the most. She couldn’t accept it!
“Glenn, you traitor, bastard, animal… I curse you to die a miserable death!”
“I curse you to be separated from your loved ones, never to find your beloved daughter!”
Her vicious curses once again aroused Master Glenn’s murderous intent. “Keep cursing; the victor will be me. Rest assured, after your death, I will bring you back here and scatter your ashes in the foul swamp to keep company with the venomous snakes!”
With that, Glenn turned and left, leaving Jaelynn with only a proud silhouette. She believed he was capable of carrying out his threats, and a shiver ran down her spine.
“You little bastard… how dare you…”
Three days later, the order for Jaelynn’s execution was issued. Unaware, Hayden was still hoping she would come back to save him. Unfortunately, what he awaited was not news of Jaelynn’s victory, but the unscathed return of Omari and his men.
He couldn’t help but frown in surprise. How did they escape from being surrounded and under such lethal threat?
“You must have thought we were doomed, right? Unfortunately, fate ultimately stood on our side.”
