Clarence stared at him calmly, "Should I write you a review for your act?"

Caesar said, "Mr. Conrad, please don't forget that you are the reason Justin became how he is today."

"This is between me and him, none of your business."

"Mr. Conrad…"

Stella interrupted, "Didn't you say lots of them are curious about how you come back from the dead? I'm curious too, do you mind sharing?"

The smile on Caesar's face faded slowly hearing that. He turned his gaze to the door.

Some journalists sneaked into the crowd and recorded every single word Caesar said just now.

They were trying to sneak out now.

Caesar turned over, "Ms. Radomil may ask if they dare let me tell the truth."

Before Stella could speak, Franklin said tiredly, "That's enough. It's Hilbert's funeral today. Let him walk his final journey in peace, can you?"

Elaine who stood by the side opened her mouth slightly but kept quiet in the end.

Franklin then told the members of the James, "What Caesar said just now is not the truth. I'll provide an explanation to you after the funeral. Please be respectful to the deceased, both Bancroft and Hilbert. And refrain yourself from asking further about this now, please wait until after the funeral."

Franklin had made his voice heard. Hence, despite having doubts and questions, the crowd remained quiet.

At this moment, one of the staff stormed towards Franklin, "Something is up, Mr. Franklin…"

"What happened?" Franklin asked, frowning.

"The ancestral hall is on fire."

Franklin immediately turned to Caesar, "Did you do it?"

Caesar raised both of his hands in the air, "I'm here with you all the time. How could you blame it on me?" He said, smiling.

"You are impossible…"

"Don't you realize that someone has been missing all this while?"

With his reminder, the crowd found that Darnell was nowhere to be seen.

Caesar continued, "For my information, Darnell had always wanted to bring Dolores back here. He is even willing to go against the elders. But this is understandable, Bancroft committed a crime in City N, while Darnell can definitely kill a few elders and take the chance of Hilbert's death to burn down the ancestral hall and its old rules, so no one would be able to challenge his position as the Master of Riverside. These are things Darnell could easily do.copy right hot novel pub
