The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2281

"What?!"

Leon stood up in shock when he heard that.

Even though he had already guessed the reason for Arthur and the others being there, he knew that Arthur had always been someone with a great sense of honor. Furthermore, Angus and Roanne's family was very close to him.

Yonas had been the one behaving dishonorably, and he was also the one who came for Leon!

Even if Yonas got hurt, he definitely deserved it!

With his understanding of Arthur and Angus' character, they would probably not blame him!

Yet, he never expected that things would play out this far beyond his expectations!

To protect Yonas, Arthur had forced his way into Elegante with his men. His words were harsh as well, as if Arthur was there to punish Leon for Leon's crimes!

It caught him completely off guard!

"Come! I'll go with you to see what's the matter!" Leon said as he walked right outside.

Iris and Snow were quite worried as well, so they followed along!

There was a large space in front of the company's office building.

At that moment, Chandler had stopped Arthur and the others with a few of the company's guards he was with.

Both sides were stuck in a standoff.

"Elder Thompson, why did you and your family barge into our company?" Chandler asked.

He was from the same generation as Arthur, and Arthur was famous as the head of the Thompsons. He was someone that stood at the top of the southern region and was known by practically everyone in the martial world!

Chandler would obviously be able to recognize Arthur!

"Where's Leon? Have him come out to die right now!" Arthur said coldly. His murderous intent was constantly surging out from his eyes.

Chandler was a wandering warrior who liked to keep a low profile. Even though Arthur did not know who Chandler was, he could still tell from Chandler's steady footsteps and aura that Chandler was definitely a very powerful martial artist!

So, he had the Thompsons stay back, no longer continuing forward.

"I'm here!"

At that moment, Leon's voice cut through the air. He walked over with Iris, Snow, and Mason.

"Elder Thompson, what's the meaning of this? Do all of you really think that I'm such a pushover?!" Leon met Arthur's gaze without any fear as he got closer. He had an unhappy look on his face.

Yonas had been the one to barge into Elegante, acting like a tyrant bandit. He had even slapped Iris in the face!

Nevertheless, at that very moment, Arthur was leading his own men into Elegante, and even saying that they wanted to kill Leon!

It was quite a hard pill to swallow!

There was no way Leon would be happy about that!

"Leon, it's really bad. Yonas died..." Roanne hurriedly told Leon before Arthur could say anything.

"What?!"

Leon was shocked to hear that. He was completely taken aback by that news!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2281

"Mister Thompson was perfectly fine. How did he suddenly die? Who killed him?" Leon was a bit uncertain after he recovered from the shock. He could not understand what happened.

"Who else could it be?! Leon, you fiend. You killed my son. How dare you speak so casually right now?! I'll make sure you pay with your life to appease his soul!" August, who was beside Arthur, could not hold back his rage anymore.

The person who killed his son was right in front of him. He could no longer hold back his anger and hatred as he charged forward with a powerful wave of energy, aiming right for Leon!

"Are you saying that I've killed Yonas? W-what does that have to do with me?" Leon was shocked to hear that. He could not believe his ears!

He finally understood why Arthur and the Thompsons were barging in and demanding for his head like that. So, they have all mistakenly believed that he was Yonas' murderer!

While Leon was feeling shocked, August immediately appeared before Leon with unbelievably fast speed and struck out right at Leon's head!

The attack was just too sudden, and Leon was completely unprepared. Without any defenses up, he had no time to fight back and could only watch as August's attack came for him!

If August's attack struck Leon, Leon would definitely suffer heavy injuries at the very least, since he did not have the Mirror of Sovereign to protect his head!

Seeing that Leon was in danger, Chandler did not hesitate at all. He quickly appeared in front of Leon.

After that, with a wave of immense power, he quickly struck out to intercept August's attack!

With a violent clash, Chandler and August’s attacks collided!

After that, Chandler's body did not budge a single inch!

August was only at around the same level as Angus had been before. He was only at the Semi Almighty State, which was very far behind Chandler, who was already at the Almighty State!

August had not been able to stand up to Chandler's true energy at all and was immediately forced back. He could not help but stagger a few steps back before he steadied himself.

"You're just at the initial Almighty State! Are you looking to die?!"

Arthur was furious when he saw Chandler forcing August back.

After that, he sent an incredibly strong wave of true energy out that seemed to contain the power of a tsunami right at Chandler!

"Advanced Almighty State..."

Chandler's expression changed dramatically when he felt the immense true energy coming from Arthur.

He did not dare to face it head-on at all. He immediately rolled away, trying to avoid the attack.

Yet, he was too much weaker than Arthur. Even using all he had, he failed to completely avoid Arthur's attack, and was still struck!

Bang!

With a loud noise, Chandler was blown a few meters back by Arthur's attack before he slammed heavily onto the ground!

After he fell, he felt a pain coming from his chest. He could not stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood before he crumpled to the ground weakly!

Thankfully, Arthur was only planning on getting revenge on Leon this time and did not plan to hurt the innocent!

Despite the internal injuries Chandler suffered, his life was not in danger at all after getting struck.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2283

"Elder Quinn, a-are you okay?" Leon was stunned to see Chandler being defeated by Arthur so easily. He quickly stepped forward to help Chandler up.

"I'm fine. I can still hold myself together..." Chandler huffed as he clutched his aching chest.

"That's good to hear..." Leon was relieved to hear that. With that, he took out a Circulation Pill, which was perfect for healing injuries like this, and handed it to Chandler.

"Leon Wolf, I'll make you pay for killing my son!" Right after saying that, August channeled all his energy into his palms and geared himself up to attack Leon to avenge his son Yonas' death!

"Wait a minute! I have something to say!” Leon shouted. As furious as he was over Arthur and the rest of the Thompsons ' invasion, not to mention how they had injured Chandler during the process, he still understood exactly what was happening. The Thompsons had clearly misunderstood everything and thought that he was the culprit behind Yonas' death. That was why they were seeking revenge!

Therefore, his priority at that moment was to straighten out their misunderstanding so as not to pay this terrible price!

With that in mind, Leon tried his best to stifle his anger.

"Leon, seeing that you used to do us good, I shall give you one chance! Do you have any last words?" Arthur declared

with a solemn look, gesturing for August to halt

his advances momentarily.

"Elder Thompson, I'll admit that Yonas and I have never seen eye to eye, and I even injured him once before.

However, at that time, all I did was break his arm. I never once attempted anything more serious than that! My point is his death has nothing to do with

me at all! I believe you've all made a mistake..." Leon explained as calmly as he could.

"Nonsense! Yonas died due to massive injuries shortly after he returned home... Who else would be the culprit behind this, if not you?" August bellowed.

"What?! That's impossible! Yonas was perfectly fine when he left Elegante Group, so how could he possibly die so soon after returning home? Something smells fishy!"

Leon declared confidently. He had been through plenty during his time, and with his experience, he was certain that he could not have caused Yonas' death, even if he did not yet have full control over his powers!

He was certain that Yonas would never have died from the injury that was inflicted upon him, especially because that had never been his intention at all!

His gut was telling him that there was more to Yonas' death than what meets the eye!

However, since he was not aware of the details regarding Yonas' death, he could not say for certain what had

happened.

"That's nonsense! The truth is sitting right in front of our eyes, and yet you're still trying to weasel your way out of it! You must pay the price for what you've done!"

August was irate.

After hearing both Sully and Norm's statements, coupled with Finlay's diagnosis, he was sure that Leon was the culprit behind Yonas' murder!

However, not only did Leon fail to show remorse for his actions, but he even continued to evade all responsibilities. That infuriated him even more!

Nevertheless, August was not the only one outraged by this. Arthur was just as angry, if not more!

With such concrete evidence at hand, Arthur, too, was convinced that Leon was responsible for Yonas' death. No matter how much Leon tried to convince him, he would never believe it!

On the contrary, Leon’s denial only made him even more vehement!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2284

"I've given you this chance to say your last words. It's not for you to weasel yourself out of your crime!" Arthur snarled, a glimmer of malice flashing through his eyes.

"I'm not trying to weasel my way out! This is the truth!” Leon replied calmly.

'Very well, then! I've given you a chance. It's not my fault if you chose to waste it! I shall make you pay for what you did to Yonas! You're going to regret this!” Arthur cackled. Then, without another word, he sent a surge of powerful energy barreling Leon's way.

"Damn it!" the color had drained from Leon's face. He knew full well that Arthur was much more powerful than him, and he would be no match for Arthur at all!

Without a moment's hesitation, Leon unleashed his Phantom Steps, darting away from Arthur's attack at the last moment and leaving behind only a bare silhouette of his being.

"Trying to run? Not so fast! Take this!" Arthur scoffed, then switched his tactic and sent another surge of energy that writhed into a tornado and spun straight toward Leon!

"Oh no..." Leon's expression froze on his face. He engaged his Phantom Steps once more, intending to dodge Arthur's attack again. Unfortunately, because he did not take the Dragon Pill, he was only at the Intermediate Emperor State at this time, which was a far cry from Arthur's Advanced Almighty State!

The only reason he had managed to get away the first time was sheer luck. Now that Arthur had unleashed a faster, and far more powerful second attack, Leon could no longer outrun it. Even with the Phantom Steps, he could not dodge Arthur's attack in time and got caught in the tornado, which resulted in him being flung across the room like a sack of potatoes!

Leon landed on the ground in a crumpled heap. A surge of excruciating pain shot through his chest, causing him to bend over and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Thankfully, he had the Mirror of Sovereign as his shield. With his timely dodge, he avoided the brunt of Arthur's attack. Apart from some internal injuries, he was otherwise fine!

'Leon, a-are you okay?" Iris and Snow were both horrified by the sight. They quickly sprinted forward to help Leon up and checked him for injuries.

They were relieved after confirming that Leon was indeed alright.

"Don't take this too far, Elder Thompson!' Leon cast Arthur a look of seething rage as he got onto his feet, trying to stifle the pain. Leon knew full well that Yonas' death had nothing to do with him at all!novelxo.com fast update

Even after the Thompsons misunderstood him so greatly, he still chose to forgive them and even attempted to explain everything to them in a civil manner, all because he held their friendship close to his heart.

However, not only did Arthur and August refuse to believe him, but Arthur even attacked first and tried to kill him!

That infuriated Leon greatly! 1

'Leon Wolf, you killed Yonas, and you have the audacity to say I'm taking things too far? What a joke!" Arthur snickered when he heard that

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2285

"111 say this one more time, Elder Thompson; I'm not the one who killed Yonas! If you insist on holding me responsible for something I've never done, then you'll have to pay the price of this!" Leon spat. He chose to tolerate Arthur's cruelty not because he was scared of Arthur, but out of respect!

Although Arthur already attained the Advanced Almighty State and was thus far more powerful than him, Leon still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, which included the final Potential Energy Force!

The Potential Energy Forces were much more powerful than even Arthur himself!

If Arthur chose not to take the hint and continued attacking him, Leon would have no choice but to employ the Potential Energy Force against him!

"You're going to make me pay? You're certainly cocky for your age, Leon Wolf! Well, I'd like to see what you have to show! Take this!" Arthur was again infuriated by Leon's arrogance. He channeled his energy and sent a fireball charging straight toward Leon, intending to kill this twat once and for all and avenge his grandson's death!

"You asked for this!" Leon replied with a cold look, and a glimmer of malice flashed through his eyes.

He was already seething in rage over being wrongfully accused like this, and now that Arthur threatened to kill him, there was no way he could sit by and allow such disrespect!

He reached into his pocket, getting ready to draw out the final Potential Energy Force!

All of a sudden, things changed!

"Wait!" Roanne could no longer wait, seeing that Arthur was about to kill Leon!

She stepped forward, placing herself in between Arthur and Leon with her arms extended beside her.

"What are you doing, Roanne? Get away from here!" Arthur was utterly stunned by this. Out of fear that he would hurt Roanne by accident, he had no choice but to recall his attack and halt in his footsteps.

Likewise, Leon froze in the middle of drawing out the Potential Energy Force.

"Grand-uncle, please listen to me! I'm the one who knows the most about Leon and Yonas's fight! Leon was right; he did not hurt Yonas to the point of impending death at all, and Yonas was fine when he left here! I'm certain that Leon was not the one who killed Yonas, and we need to think twice about this," Roanne pleaded. She never once suspected that Leon would be the culprit behind Yonas's death, and now, after seeing how hard Leon denied everything, she became even more certain that Leon was innocent!

"That's nonsense! The truth is as clear as day, and who else could be the murderer, if not Leon?" August snarled.

"August is right! Roanne, Yonas is your cousin, after all, so how could you protect his murderer? You should get away from this right now, and don’t try to stop me from avenging Yonas's death," Arthur replied coldly.

"I won't! There are a lot of loopholes in this story, Granduncle. If you and Uncle August insist on making Leon take the blame, this will serve nothing but let the true killer get away! Please think twice about this!" Roanne continued pleading.

"You!" August and Arthur were beside themselves with rage when they saw how desperately Roanne was begging on Leon's behalf.

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2286

August, bring Roanne aside and keep her there-don't let her meddle in this!" Arthur instructed, trying to remain as calm as he could.

"Come here, Roanne!" August extended his arm toward Roanne in preparation to scoop her toward him.

"Wait a minute!" all of a sudden, Angus stepped forward in determination, having made up his mind. With a swipe of his arm, he unleashed a surge of powerful energy that blocked August's attempt.

"What is the meaning of this, Angus?" a look of displeasure crossed August's face at this.

"August, Uncle Arthur, I think Roanne is right; there are multiple loopholes in this story, and we can't wrongfully blame Mister Wolf for a crime he has not committed!" Angus replied calmly.

He, like Roanne, agreed that Yonas's death was a little suspicious, and knowing Leon's character, he decided to place his faith in Leon after some careful consideration!

"What? Are you also choosing to protect this fellow blindly, just like Roanne is?" Arthur was outraged t hear this. He knew just how close Angus and the rest were to Leon, and if Angus and Roanne chose to stand by Leon's side over some other matter, he would have let it slide, but this was his grandson Yonas they were talking about!

Angus and Roanne were both Yonas's blood relatives as well, and he could not believe that not only did they fail to help avenge Yonas's wrongful death, but they were even choosing to stand on the murderer's side!

One could only imagine Arthur's rage at this!

"I'm not trying to protect him blindly, I'm just telling the truth as I see it! Listen to me, Uncle Arthur, why don't you let me and Mister Wolf investigate this matter in the meantime and present to you our findings in three days?" Angus finally settled on a plan that would hopefully keep both sides happy.

With that, he turned to glance at Leon and asked, "What do you think, Mister Wolf?"

"Well, sounds like a good idea!" Leon nodded after some contemplation. Although he was still outraged about being wrongfully blamed for a crime he did not commit, he decided he was willing to help Angus investigate this matter to resolve their misunderstanding. If they could find the true culprit behind Yonas's death, he would not only be able to prove his innocence but also keep August and Arthur satisfied!

This was the least he could do!

’No way! The facts are as clear as day-Leon Wolf was the person who killed Yonas! You're just trying to help him evade all responsibility, Angus, and I won't let that happen!" August snarled before Arthur could even say anything. He was certain that Leon was the culprit behind Yonas's death, and considering how close Leon was to Angus, he was determined not to accept Angus' suggestion no matter how convincing he might be!

Besides, Leon was not someone to be underestimated; if he and Arthur were to allow him three days to "investigate", he was concerned that Leon would use this opportunity to escape the region in case he could not find a scapegoat in time!

If that were to happen, he could no longer avenge Yonas's death!

"August, I'm not trying to help him evade responsibility, but there are things that need to be seen to be believed. None of us ever witnessed Mister Wolf killing Leon himself, and so we can't just jump to the conclusion that he's the murderer," Not only did Angus remain calm in the face of August's anger, but he even patiently explained his point of view. 1

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2287

"Nonsense! You're not the person whose son died, so of course you can say all of this so lightly! If the roles were reversed and Yuri was the one who died, you would not be saying all of this at all!" August snapped, sneering.

"I-" Angus was rendered speechless by this.

"Angus, August is right! We have plenty of evidence holding Leon responsible for this, so there's no need for any further investigation! You and Roanne should both get out of our ways! I'm going to kill Leon Wolf with my bare hands and avenge Yonas's death!" a glimmer of malice flashed through Arthur's eyes at this.

Although he was always a man of integrity, he could no longer remain calm in the face of his only grandson being murdered. At this point, hatred and vengeance clouded his judgment and rendered him ruthless!

Besides, all evidence pointed to Leon's involvement, and no matter how hard anyone tried to convince him otherwise, he was certain that Leon was the murderer!

He would kill Leon no matter what, and would not allow any chance for Leon to escape before he could avenge Yonas's death!

"No! I won't do that!" Angus shook his head, his tone resolute.

"You! Are you insisting on disobeying me?" Arthur was

beside himself with rage. When it came to Roanne's disobedience, he could let it slide and chalk it out to her naivety, but he could not do the same for Angus; Angus was the leader of the Thompsons' direct descendants, and his ranking within the family far surpassed any of the collateral descendants and even the two elders! Angus' decision represented their entire family, and now that Angus was insisting on crossing him, this changed everything entirely!

"Uncle Arthur, that was never my intention at all. However, Mister Wolf saved Roanne's life multiple times, and we are greatly indebted to him. I can't possibly let him pay the price for a crime he may not have committed, not before we get to the bottom of this," Angus replied.

"Very well then! Angus, I can't believe that you're choosing to ignore the truth of your nephew's murder, all because of your so-called debt to this man! What a selfish act! I'm going to give you one last chance. As the head of the family, I order both you and Roanne to get out of the way! If not, you will be banished from the family!" Arthur finally decided to bring out the big guns!

"What?" Angus' heart sank at this.

Ancient families like the Thompsons respected their heads of families very much, and if any member were to directly disobey the head of the family's orders, they would be met with serious punishment; this was a known fact.

From the moment he decided to stand on Leon's side, Angus was already mentally prepared to be met with Arthur's punishment, but he never once thought Arthur would choose to threaten him with such a hefty and serious punishment!

One could only imagine his shock at this! i

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2288

"I've already given you a chance, Angus, and now it's up to you how you want to play this!" Arthur added curtly. He knew that his threat put Angus in his place.

"I won't back down, Uncle Arthur, not even if you use banishment to threaten me!" Angus declared, finally coming to a decision.

The best way of returning Leon's kindness was choosing to stand by his side in the face of doubt, and now that Angus was certain Leon was wrongfully blamed, he could not allow Arthur and August to hurt him!

He had to protect Leon against all odds, even if it meant sacrificing himself for the greater good!

As for Arthur's punishment, he knew that Arthur was likely just acting out of character because vengeance clouded his judgment!

He was certain that after getting to the bottom of Yonas's death and proving Leon's innocence in this, he would be able to resolve the misunderstanding between both sides, and everything would be okay again!

He was not too worried about that at all!

"Very well then! You asked for this, Angus, and if you insist, I shall hereby denounce you from the Thompson family!

Everyone in your line of descendants are hereby also banished, and from today onwards, we collateral descendants have nothing to do with you anymore!" Arthur declared without a moment's hesitation.

This decision would hereby shatter the entire Thompson family into two!

"Uncle Arthur, I respect your decision, but I have only one request; please give me and Mister Wolf three days to get to the bottom of this, and we promise we will give you an answer in three days," Angus said in a low voice.

"You-" Arthur was beside himself with rage, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do.

Although he banished Angus from the family, they were still blood relatives after all, and he could not possibly kill Angus just to get to Leon!

Besides, Angus' influence among the family members was not to be underestimated, and if he were to harm Angus, this would no doubt stir up trouble within the family!

It would likely cause internal strife and could lead to the downfall of the entire family, and this was not a consequence he was willing to bear!

"Well, Angus, since you insist Leon is not the culprit, I shall grant you three days as you asked! If neither of you can find anything new after three days, I will kill Leon to avenge Yonas's death! Also, if Leon were to escape or go into hiding within these three days, I shall hold you personally responsible!" Arthur finally relented with a steely look.

"Let's go!" with that, Arthur gestured toward August and the rest and stormed off in a huff.

Leon let out a sigh of relief as he watched them leave. Although he possessed the final Potential Energy Force and was thus not afraid of Arthur, he was still unwilling to use brute violence on them, out of consideration of his friendship with the Thompsons!

If he were to accidentally harm Arthur in the process, this would only make things worse!

Needless to say, this was not the outcome he wanted!

In conclusion, now that Angus helped him attain the valuable three days to prove his innocence, this shed a glimmer of hope in this bleak situation!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2289

"Thank you for everything you've done for me today, Mister Thompson, and thanks to Roanne too," Leon strode over to Angus and Roanne to thank them after Arthur left.

"You don't have to thank me, Mister Wolf. You have been so kind to us in the past, and this is the least Roanne and I can do. Besides, my Uncle Arthur and August have lost their sense of judgment because they are overcome with anger, and this is why they wrongfully blamed you. I hope you can understand," Angus let out a sheepish smile as he apologized on behalf of Arthur and August.

"No problem. I can understand how they're feeling. However, I can't help but wonder how we're going to approach this, considering you were banished from your own family for no reason," Leon sighed.

Angus' insistence to go against Arthur's orders and finally getting banished from the family as a result was a testament to his loyalty to Leon. As touched as Leon was by this grand gesture, he could not help being worried that the Thompsons would take a big hit as a result of this major change in power.

This would not bode well for the Thompsons as a whole!

"That's okay! My Uncle Arthur is just at the height of his anger and acted rashly. Everything will be solved once we investigate and reveal the truth, not to mention find the real murderer!" Angus replied.

"Yes, you're right." Leon nodded in agreement. He knew Angus was right; as long as they could find the real culprit and resolve the misunderstanding, Arthur and Angus would reconcile again.

"Mister Thompson, there are too many people about, and this isn't the place to discuss matters like this! you and Roanne should come to my office so we can talk about this in detail!" Leon suggested, then gestured for Chandler and Mason to stay back and settle the rest.

With that, he led Angus and Roanne to his office upstairs, followed suit by Iris and Snow.

Inside the presidential office, everyone took their seats.

"Mister Thompson, what happened? How could Yonas have died out of the blue when he was fine just hours before?" Leon asked directly. Although he already knew of Yonas's death, he was still unsure of the exact details.

He had to make sense of all the minute details to find the true culprit!

"Well, here's what happened," Angus explained everything to Leon truthfully.

"Are you saying that Fifi was the only person at home when Yonas died?" Leon asked meaningfully as he picked up on an important detail in Angus' story.

"Yes, that's right." Angus nodded.

"This Fifi seems a little suspicious, Mister Thompson! Back when she was still at Elegante Group, she kept deliberately

trying to drive a wedge between Yonas and Roanne. Now that Yonas has died out of the blue, do you think she could have something to do with this?" Iris managed to put two and two together.

"I don't think so! Fifi is just an ordinary girl, and there’s no possible way she could've killed Yonas," Angus shook his head. Although he also suspected Fifi at first thought, after some careful consideration, he decided that this was highly unlikely to be the case, especially considering that Fiona was just an ordinary girl and not a martial artist at all!

With that in mind, there was no way she could take on Yonas and overpower him, especially considering he was already at the Intermediate Emperor State!

This was why he ruled out Fiona as a possible suspect!

The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 2290

"That might not necessarily be true! Although Fifi herself isn't capable of killing Yonas, we can't be certain that she didn't have any accomplices or perhaps even conspired with someone else to kill Yonas," Leon said after some thought.

"Yes, that might be possible!" Angus gasped in realization. He dismissed his initial suspicion of Fiona after concluding that she did not possess the physical capability of killing Yonas, but now after hearing Leon's thought, he realized that he neglected a crucial point-that Fiona could have had an accomplice!

However, this was just his and Leon's guess, and there was no way to know if this was truly the case!

Besides, Fiona was Yonas' girlfriend, and from what they could observe, she did not possess any motive for killing him at all!

There was no way he and Leon could determine Fiona to be the murderer just on an elementary guess!

"What should we do now, Mister Wolf?” Angus asked.

Although he was determined to help Leon get to the bottom of this, Yonas' death was too sudden that he did not know where to even begin investigating, not to mention the fact that all evidence pointed to Leon's involvement.

He wanted to ask Leon's opinion to see if he had any good ideas!

"Well, I think our priority should be finding out exactly how Yonas died," Leon said after some thought. "Mister Thompson, do you know where Yonas' body is?"

"It has already been sent back to the family home," Angus replied.

"Um, can you possibly bring me there to check it out? If I can see Yonas' body myself, I'm sure that with my expertise, I'll be able to find out his cause of death," Leon said after some hesitation.

Although he was fairly certain that the injuries he inflicted on Yonas could not possibly have killed him, there was no way to be sure unless he saw the body himself. Therefore, he needed to see Yonas' body in person to determine if there was another fatal injury that took his life!

If there was, combined with the fact that Fiona was the only person at the scene of the crime, it would point to Fiona as the real culprit instead!

"I'm afraid that's not possible! Uncle Arthur and August are both still angry, and there's no way they'll allow you to examine Yonas' body," Angus shook his head. Although he was banished from the family, considering his influence, he was fairly certain that he could still enter the mansion.

However, since both Arthur and August were already convinced that Leon was the murderer, there was no way they would allow Leon anywhere near Yonas' body!

"Yes, that's certainly a big problem," Leon stood up and paced around the sofa, trying to come up with a way around

this.

Then, a lightbulb went off in his head. "I have an idea!" he smacked the table in glee.

"What is it?" Angus, Iris, and the rest all turned to gaze at him in anticipation.

"Um, I can't say anything yet, but you'll find out soon enough, " Leon replied after some hesitation.

"Well, okay then." Seeing that Leon did not appear inclined to talk, Angus, Iris, and the rest did not push him for an answer.

"Mister Thompson, I'll take care of this! however, Fiona is still a prime suspect, and I would like you to help me investigate her. See if we can unearth anything new or find any clues. With both of us on this, I'm sure we can cover everything we need to." Leon delegated the tasks as he saw fit. i

"Yes, no problem!" Angus agreed. With that, he and Leon parted ways, with Leon in charge of investigating the true cause of Yonas' death and him responsible for investigating Fiona.
