The Crimson Trail of Death의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

In that moment, I caught sight of a stranger walking up to Damarc side as he whispered something into his ears, which led to a change in his expression. I watched him leave a scan around the room as though he was searching for someone. His eyes brushed through my side, but I could feel a side of me hoping to hide from his gaze, but that wasn't of any use; that was just going to increase a side of suspicion. He had no idea who I was anyway and why I was here. Not long after, he stood up from his seat as the two men escorted him to a room. "Where is he heading to?" I wondered, thinking maybe he was already leaving. I surely couldn't allow that now. Taking some steps, I followed up his movement, leaving a scan back with my pistol slowly pointed out as my finger closed in on the trigger, ready to pull. I forced a push, entering the room in a hastened speed, only for it to turn out to be a hallway. The lights were red, making it hard to have a clear view. My pistol already pointed up a

I made my way into the mansion, as I hope to take the stairs, my legs came to a pause as I witnessed Uncle Marc who was already awaiting my presence. "So, how was it? Was my brother's son able to show that he has reached the heights?" Marc asked. Somehow, I found my thoughts back at Damarc's words, claiming that Uncle Marc was afraid of him, that's why he sent me. I shouldn't even pay a little thought to that now, should I? "Yes, Uncle Marc, I have proven and made sure to see through your words. Damarc has been silenced for good," I replied, hating myself for laying such a lie. But yet, I was sure and could only hope Uncle Marc doesn't find out that I was lying. "Alright, Dominic. I had trust that you would have done well, and I'm glad you did... better than Adrian. It's just such a disgrace that yet I have to put in with all his..." Uncle Marc's said, his voice trailing off. I heard him heave a sigh after, turning away from my side as he distanced further, taking the stairs up

[Adrian POV]I had just received words that Sierra had already left the mansion. Knowing this wasn’t what I had planned, but yet, they all seemed to be taking place. "Why does everything just seem to be getting worse for me? Just why?"I smashed a bottle of wine on the wall. I had parked the car along the road, hoping for some air and a drink, but that didn’t help in any way.She shouldn't have accepted Uncle Marc's mission. But did she have a choice? I should have stopped her from becoming a sohoe in the first place. I did try, didn't I? Only to fail all because of Dominic.He is the reason I have failed so much in every plan I had laid down. I was quite sure he must be doing it all on purpose, wishing to show his way to the top and make all my faults visible. If he thinks he can surely take me on, I would be sure to show him that I am not easily taken down.If he hadn't destroyed my plan, Sierra wouldn't have been made a sohoe, and she wouldn't have been given a mission by Uncle Mar

"Should we, mam?" one of the bodyguards questioned, this time hoping to lay an attack on Clarence."No. Leave it..." I replied. I took steps, walking closer to my uncle, who I found trembling with sweaty pulse as he tried wiping the sweat off his face, only to drop the handkerchief from his hands."How... how... d... did you..." he stammered."You mean how did I become the Sohoe of the De Santos... I am sure it must be shocking to you..." I said.I sat down on one of the seats as the other people present at the conference stood trembling as well."Leave..." I said to them as they wasted no time in paying heed to my words. They left the room in haste."I'm sorry, dear. You know I didn't mean to treat you in such a way. I mean, I must be stupid to do that; I was just annoyed, but please forgive me, dear, and let's just leave that aside..." he said.But even though I was quite furious at his words, this wasn't the time to lay that out."I am only here for business. Have a seat, Mr. Clare

"Alright," I said, grabbing the blue metal box from the locksmith as he stood up, leaving another half-bow before turning and leaving the mansion after.I made my way back to my room, seating on the bed; this was the place to open it. Who knows what was inside the box? Perhaps a lead. Could Nate be right, that this was surely going to help me...?I honestly hoped that was going to happen; then I can start my plans on Dominic.I opened up the box, and some dust spurred out, almost choking me as I coughed out loud, trying to grasp for a proper breath. I grabbed a cup of water, which was placed on the nightstand beside me, gulping it up as I let out a breath. I should have expected that amount of dust since it seemed like an old box.I gently checked inside the box, making sure I didn't cause some more dust to spread around.I caught sight of what seemed like some envelopes. I opened up one of the envelopes, and inside was a picture...Checking through the pictures, a stunned look came
