“Catherine Foreman, who do you think you are? What right do you have to seal my powers?” Autumn Knapp shouted loudly.
“Out of respect for your grandfather, I’ll give you one chance!” Tyler Bailey interrupted her before she could finish.
“Explain everything that happened today honestly, and you might have a chance to live!”
“I don’t know anything. What do you want me to explain?” Even in front of Tyler Bailey, Autumn Knapp remained defiant.
“Are you sure you don’t want this chance?” Tyler Bailey stared at her coldly.
“I don’t know what you want me to explain!” Autumn Knapp continued to respond.
“Mr Haynes, according to Institute regulations, how should one be dealt with if they disregard others’ lives and harm fellow members?” Tyler Bailey turned to Luke Haynes.
“If proven true, the light punishment is the removal of their powers and expulsion from the Institute,” Luke Haynes responded. “The severe punishment is execution on the spot!”
“Then proceed!” Tyler Bailey waved his hand. “Execute her!”
A gasp echoed around them.
Execute her just like that?!
It was well-known that this vice-president was decisive and ruthless. Seeing it firsthand today confirmed it!
Even Luke Haynes was taken aback by Tyler Bailey’s decisiveness.
Autumn Knapp’s grandfather, Noah Knapp, was another vice-president of Canyon View Institute!
Although his status and influence were slightly lower than Tyler Bailey’s, he was still the third most important person in the Institute!
And Autumn Knapp was his granddaughter. Execute her just like that?
“Why! What right do you have to execute me?” Autumn Knapp shouted after a moment of shock. “I want to see my grandfather!”
“Vice-president, should we call Mr Noah Knapp…” Luke Haynes hesitated before speaking.
As the head of the Punishment Hall and a core member of the Institute, he knew that the Institute had not been harmonious for years.
If this execution proceeded, it would undoubtedly lead to a series of consequences.
“Do you need me to do it myself?” Tyler Bailey interrupted him sternly.
“I wouldn’t dare!” Luke Haynes hesitated again before looking at Autumn Knapp. “If I were you, I would confess voluntarily!”
As he spoke, a cold aura emanated from him, enveloping Autumn Knapp.
Miss Knapp immediately felt suffocated, a chilling sense of death creeping from her feet to her head, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
She had no doubt that Luke Haynes would kill her!
Without thinking further, before Luke Haynes could act, Autumn Knapp knelt down trembling.
“Don’t… don’t kill me… I’ll confess… I’ll tell everything…”
Hearing her words, Mario Bowers and Elder Graeme exchanged glances and quickly moved aside.
They knew that once Autumn Knapp confessed, they were doomed.
Harleen and Ivy were two exceptionally talented geniuses in whom Tyler Bailey had placed great hope.
If everything went smoothly, Harleen and Ivy would be the future of Canyon View Institute!
In other words, their actions today were tantamount to killing the future of the Institute, a crime punishable by death!
Originally, their plan was to act swiftly against Ivy under the guise of the Punishment Hall after Kadyn Ramsey’s death.
They had anticipated that Harleen and Ivy would resist, giving them an excuse to execute them for harming fellow members and violently resisting the Punishment Hall elders.
Although such actions would have serious consequences, once done, they could dispose of Kadyn Ramsey’s body, leaving no evidence.
Even if Tyler Bailey pursued the matter, their punishment wouldn’t be too severe.
Given the external pressures facing Canyon View Institute, Tyler Bailey likely wouldn’t take drastic action over two dead people.
However, they hadn’t expected Aubree to intervene midway, disrupting all their plans.
This was truly a case of man proposes but God disposes!
“Do you think you can escape?” Tyler Bailey had been watching them closely and wouldn’t let them get away.
As he spoke, an overwhelming spiritual power swept towards them.
“Ah…”
The next moment, the two screamed and fell from mid-air, trembling on the ground with faces full of despair.
“Take them away!” Tyler Bailey waved his hand.
Two elders from the Institute quickly approached Mario Bowers and Elder Graeme.
The rest was straightforward. Autumn Knapp confessed everything in detail.
Aubree and Harleen had already guessed most of it, so they weren’t too surprised.
Afterward, they bid farewell to Tyler Bailey and left.
How Tyler Bailey dealt with Autumn Knapp and the others wasn’t their concern or something they could interfere with.
They also knew that Noah Knapp must have sanctioned this matter.
Otherwise, Autumn Knapp alone couldn’t have persuaded Mario Bowers and Elder Graeme to help her.
Regarding Noah Knapp’s involvement, Aubree and the others couldn’t interfere either. After all, he was the third most important person in the Institute!
“Interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such exceptional women!”
As Harleen and the others left, a suave man on a nearby tower rooftop watched their backs with a slight smile.
“These two women are mine!”
Half an hour later, in a hall within the inner courtyard.
Tyler Bailey, Luke Haynes, and several other elders were present.
“Vice-president, in my humble opinion, today’s matter should end with Mario Bowers and Graeme Wynn,” an elder said to Tyler Bailey.
“The Institute is currently facing many external threats and can’t afford internal strife.”
“Indeed!” Another elder agreed. “This should all be Autumn Knapp’s doing. It has nothing to do with Mr Knapp…”
“Elder Jake, have you found any results regarding that matter I asked you to investigate?” Tyler Bailey interrupted them, looking at another elder.
“Vice-president, I just received news and haven’t had time to report it,” the elder responded respectfully.
“The information is confirmed. Aubree and the others are from Sky City!”
“Sky City?” Tyler Bailey was taken aback.
“Yes!” The elder nodded.
“Originally, there wasn’t much worth noting about Sky City as a low-level civilization.”
“But recently, not only the Savage Demon Tribe but also the Messenger Between Life and Death and Holy Heaven Sect have sent people to Sky City!”
“Holy Heaven Sect also sent people?” Luke Haynes was surprised. “Why?”
“It’s rumored that one of the top ten sacred artifacts is lost in Sky City!” The elder responded.
“Although it’s unclear which one specifically, it’s said to be one of the top three!”
“Hmm?!”
Hearing this, everyone, including Tyler Bailey, showed expressions of shock.
