Chapter 285: Chapter 258: White-haired Person Sends Off Black-haired Person (1 more)

Chuck Taylor was invited into the Stephens Family’s residence.

He arrived at Building 11.

He examined Rowan Stephens’ corpse.

And gave an answer.

"Indeed, it is the result of consuming the newly developed supplements from the Taylor Family. I remember this batch being destroyed."

Why did it appear here?

Joe Stephens asked coldly, "Are you sure?"

"I participated in developing this supplement, so naturally, I know the ingredients very well. If Fourth Master Stephens does not trust me, then assume I, Chuck Taylor, haven’t said anything."

Having said that, Chuck Taylor stood up.

Joe Stephens glanced at the listening Elliot Xenos and said, "I’ll walk you out."

Chuck Taylor did not stay long.

Elliot Xenos suddenly called out to Chuck Taylor: "Third Master Taylor, please wait."

Chuck Taylor stopped.

"I don’t know who from your Taylor Family could have directly accessed these supplements? Our Stephens Family disciples have suffered from this drug, and your Taylor Family is also somewhat responsible."

Chuck Taylor’s expression grew cold: "What do you mean by that? The Taylor Family has not yet accused the Stephens Family of secretly stealing our drugs, yet you come to blame us."

"Third Master Taylor misunderstood," Elliot Xenos said politely: "Regardless, whoever leaked the supplements, the Taylor Family needs to investigate too."

Chuck Taylor’s face still looked displeased, "What does your Stephens Family’s greed have to do with us Taylor Family?"

"Third Master Taylor is so protective of the person behind this, can it be that you already know who leaked it?"

"Our Taylor Family has already backed off, and we came here today out of humanitarian considerations. Do you want the Stephens Family to go against our Taylor Family to the end?"

"We just want to investigate the cause of the incident clearly. Otherwise, it is not safe for the Taylor Family, either. Recently, the Slaughter Squad has been watching closely. We have no other choice, so please bear with us, Third Master Taylor."

Chuck Taylor recalled the Slaughter Squad members inside the Stephens Family residence and slightly softened his expression.

The Stephens Family is in a desperate situation now.

Chuck Taylor felt some sympathy for the Stephens Family.

With the Slaughter Squad members stationed in the Stephens Family, it was like having a CCTV camera watching them all the time.

"If you want to investigate, our Taylor Family can cooperate, but don’t go too far."

Elliot Xenos smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course."

Midnight.

Gideon Stephens suddenly convulsed.

Strange noises came from his body.

Joe Stephens woke up in shock and went to his son’s room.

He saw Gideon staring blankly at the ceiling, slowly losing his breath right before his eyes.

"Doctor, call the doctor now!"

Joe Stephens’ voice frightened the sleeping Freya Leonard.

The doctor arrived.

After checking Gideon’s pulse, the doctor confirmed Gideon had stopped breathing.

A wail echoed from Building 11!

The people living nearby were startled.

Joe Stephens’ eyes were hollow, staring blankly as he sat down.

How did this happen?

Why had it become like this?

It shouldn’t have turned out this way.

He once thought Building 11 could be the best.

But now.

An elder sending off a younger.

His family was ruined and his loved one dead.

At his age, the burden of this double blow drove Joe Stephens nearly insane.

*

Charlotte Richardson entered the study room.

Pierce Stephens was inside, looking at a document.

"Gideon is gone."

Pierce slowly looked up.

Hearing this, he was at a loss for words and emotions.

"I’ve only been away for a little more than a year, and the family has turned into this."

Charlotte sighed heavily.

Pierce Stephens’s face darkened slightly, "Fourth Brother has lost his grandson and granddaughter, and now his son as well. The blow is bound to be great, and I fear he won’t be able to control himself."

Charlotte Richardson was worried too, "He wanted to take action against Adam in front of the Trial Hall."

Pierce furrowed his eyebrows, "Although Stephens Family has the Slaughter Squad watching, as long as they don’t leave Sheffield City, they won’t interfere in Stephens Family’s business. During this time, Building 3 might not be safe."

"Let people guard over there then, I worry that Joe Stephens won’t be able to resist taking action against Adam and the others."

Pierce nodded.

If they don’t send someone, Joe Stephens might really do that.

Elliot Xenos followed Chuck Taylor out of Building 11 and only returned at midnight.

Upon entering the study, he reported the investigation results to Pierce: "Family leader, it has been confirmed that Rowan Stephens took the Taylor Family’s medicine. This batch of medicine had been destroyed long before that. Rowan and Lily Taylor were secretly in contact. Rowan used Stephens Family’s treasured ’Thirteen Needles’ as an exchange for the medicine. This ’Thirteen Needles’ was found in Lily Taylor’s possession."

Elliot handed over the "Thirteen Needles" retrieved from Lily Taylor to Pierce.

"So, Jeremy Jennings’s death is also related to Rowan? Did you find any surveillance footage?"

"Strangely enough, someone intentionally erased the traces," Elliot frowned, "This should be done by someone Rowan hired."

Pierce glanced at the "Thirteen Needles" in his hand and said, "It’s unknown how this item ended up in our Stephens Family, but we have no use for it."

"So this..."

"Send it to the Taylor Family and hand it over to Taylor Family Head."

Elliot accepted it, resealed it in a small box.

Despite its incompleteness, the medicine sect could still flourish using these incomplete "Thirteen Needles."

Pierce walked to the window, looking at the nightshade outside with his hands behind his back.

This night was truly a sleepless one.

*

The next day.

Adam brought Chloe Stephens’s USB to Building 1.

He handed it over to Pierce’s hands.

Pierce stared at the USB in his hand, and then at Adam.

"I asked someone to collect some evidence. Here’s the information on Rowan and Taylor Family’s interactions, as well as the footage of the theft in the hidden attic."

Hearing this,

Pierce’s gaze deeply pierced Adam.

As if to see through the lying Adam.

Adam lowered his head, not unaware of the pressure from Pierce’s gaze.

"Did you really collect these yourself?"

"Yes."

"Adam," Pierce’s tone turned slightly heavy, "You have a habit when lying."

Adam frowned.

"Regardless of where this came from, as long as it’s evidence proving the other party’s guilt, we will accept it. Spend more time with your mother sometimes. She just came back from abroad. I’m sure the mother and son have a lot to talk about."

Adam clenched his fists, "My mother and I have nothing to say."

Pierce pressed the USB into his palm, his eyes turned cold, "Adam, back then, your mother agreed to take in a stepson, and I opposed your marriage with Yvette Foster. She reconciled the situation. Do you intend to hold a grudge against her for the rest of your life?"

"I never thought so. I am very grateful for what my mother did back then. I just have been busy recently and may not have time... "

"If you don’t have time, make time to accompany her," Pierce’s voice turned colder again.

Adam fell silent for a moment, nodding, "I will make time."

He nodded at Pierce and turned to leave with big steps.

Pierce frowned tightly.

It was precisely because Charlotte had chosen to stand with the elder’s opinions a few times back then that both mother and daughter had suffered so much, and Adam remembered it.

Didn’t he see his mother’s helplessness?

Disagreeing would only bring about more trouble.

Pierce sighed inwardly.

Chloe Stephens went out early in the morning.

As the car passed by the roadside of Building 11, she heard the sound of father and son being transported to the Stephens Family’s cemetery.

Chloe leaned back in the rear seat, eyes closed in meditation.

Joe Stephens would certainly not be content.

If it were her, she would also look for an opportunity to target Building 3.

Before that,

She needed to eliminate the trouble.

Her closed eyes suddenly opened, cold and fierce as frost.
