Chapter 480: Crime Exposed

"Miss, are you staying for lunch today?"

After Bella finished explaining the work, she returned to her room on the second floor. As she spoke, she pushed open the door and saw Miss Lilith still standing by the desk, with a serious look on her face that she had never seen before.

"Miss?" Seeing that Lilith didn't respond, Bella walked to the window and opened the curtains to make the room brighter. "Did the winery in Shelley Town encounter any technical difficulties?"

"…It was murder." Lilith clenched the letter.

"What?" Bella was startled and turned around suddenly.

"I have to go back to school, Bella. Something urgent happened." Lilith folded the letter quickly with a cold face and walked out while speaking.

"Miss? Miss!" Bella called out twice in confusion as she chased after her, but she saw Lilith jump down the stairs in two or three steps and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…………

“——Daniel?!”

Inside the Rose Building, all the companions exclaimed in unison after hearing what Lilith said. Jaina even walked over quickly, took Bobby's letter and read it word by word.

"That Daniel is crazy." Lilith said coldly.

The letter said that when the beast tide came, Daniel took advantage of the chaos to push his cousin off the city wall and into the mouth of the void beast. Bobby, who happened to witness all this, was almost killed by the suspicious Bobby on the battlefield...

This bastard!

Bobby's writing was hasty and the description was very simple, but even so, she felt the danger at the time and was terrified. Her face was very ugly, and the anger in her eyes almost burst out. When she ran all the way back to school, the pedestrians who saw her were shocked and avoided her.

"Bobby said he has reported the situation to Catherine. To be on the safe side, he also hopes that I can tell the school."

"We must tell the teachers! Killing someone should be punished with death!" Lulu was so angry that her face turned red. She couldn't agree more. If such black sheep were not dealt with, in the future everyone would not only have to fight against the Void Beasts head-on, but also have to guard against sneak attacks from behind. It was ridiculous!

This was not the first time he attacked his classmates. When he harmed Lilith, he was beaten up in a sack and then behaved for a long time. She thought he was just that bad, but who knew he would dare to harm someone on the battlefield, and that person was his own blood relative! Is he a human being?! And Bobby, what a poor guy.

"No wonder, no wonder he hasn't come to school even though he's already back." Lucas slapped his forehead in sudden realization, "He's afraid of the laws of the Free City, so he's hiding in the High Court that protects the nobles even more. Oh, I think he may never come back!"

"Will what we tell Professor Colin be of any use?" Jaina was worried. She had already read the letter and passed it on to others. "Will Katherine punish him?"

"Of course!" Lilith nodded confidently. No matter how outstanding Daniel was, such a war criminal would only lay mines if he stayed in the team. Catherine would not keep such an unstable factor in the team. "It's just that she has been staying in the Temple of Light recently. It may be inconvenient for her to receive letters. Maybe she hasn't seen Bobby's report yet."

"I just came back from the meditation room on the third floor of the castle. Teacher Colin and Teacher Luna are both in the castle. I saw them chatting." Lulu didn't want to wait any longer and carefully packed the letter. "I'll go tell them now. We must get an explanation for Bobby!"

"Lulu, wait for me." Her guardian caught up with her and the two of them left in a hurry.

The people who stayed behind looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Hannah shuddered in fear and couldn't help muttering, "Why? He is a noble, has superb swordsmanship, and has a bright future..."

"The Andre he killed was a Knight of Light, and Anqi's biological brother." Lilith said in a deep voice, "He is the direct descendant of the Russell family, the grandson of Knight Russell, and the most promising heir of the Russell family."

"Is... it for the title?" Jaina was surprised.

Lilith nodded: "Some people value their future more than anything else."

When she had been bickering with Daniel, she had mocked him for being just a placeholder, a tool for the family to show off in front of Catherine, and that he would have to step aside when the real heir came. But she had never expected that in just a few years, he would actually kill the heir...

He grew up too fast, or rather, he was consumed too quickly by his insatiable ambition.

"Hiss..." Lucas also shivered, rubbed his arms in the warm room, and said to Ian next to him, "I have goose bumps. He killed my cousin and hurt Bobby, but when we met a few days ago, he smiled in front of us as if nothing had happened."

Ian, who had been silent the whole time, was approached by Lucas and recalled the scene at that time. "Maybe he could laugh because he felt that he had succeeded."

"But Bobby survived. His attempt to murder his brother will be exposed sooner or later. Isn't he afraid of being abandoned and expelled by the family?" Jaina did not understand these horrific struggles among the nobles at all. They were totally inhumane!

Lilith shared the news she had learned from Leila, "The Russell family is in an awkward situation now. The knight, as a king supporter, was one of the first nobles to surrender to Catherine. Now that he is rejected by the king who has recovered, he can only tie his family more tightly to Catherine's chariot... If the Russell family cannot push out another more suitable heir, then Daniel's adventure will be successful this time."

"Is he the only choice for the Russell family's heir? Tsk! If that's true, then I think the Russell family is finished!" Lucas muttered.

Lilith was upset. Yes, the Russell family didn't even have an heir.

Ian, who had been looking at Lilith, noticed that she suddenly lost her focus and then straightened up in her seat.

"What's wrong?" Ian stood up and everyone looked in the direction he was looking.

Lilith's face turned pale. "It's not like there's no suitable heir in the Russell family..."

An idea flashed through Jaina's mind. "Did you see Angie the last time you went to Highgarden?"

Lucas and Ian looked at each other and shook their heads, recalling Daniel's obstruction during their last visit. They both had a bad feeling at the same time: If crazy Daniel would clear all obstacles in order to become the heir, then -

Lilith stood up suddenly and rushed out.

"Oh no, Angie is in danger!"
