Chapter 820 I Only Require His Life
"Exactly!" Baron, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. "You injured our brother. This matter is far from over!" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Adrian frowned. "So, Kingsley, how do you plan to deal with them both?"
"It's simple," Kingsley said casually. "Bronte injured my friend, so I want both of his hands. As for Jake, I've been entrusted with a task; I only require his life."
Adrian hesitated, and the faces of the Stewart Family members turned extremely grim.
"Kingsley, isn't this going a bit too far?" Adrian's frown deepened. "Jake is my cousin, and Bronte is his grandson. Can you spare them on my behalf…"
Before Adrian could finish speaking, Kingsley waved his hand. "If you disagree, shall I make a call to the Seavale Stewart Family and have the head patriarch personally handle them?"
"I…" Adrian's expression changed.
Given Kingsley's tone, it seemed like he was very familiar with the head patriarch. Coupled with the Unrevealed Secret Technique, Adrian became even more convinced that Kingsley's identity was extraordinary.
"No... there's no need to trouble the head patriarch…"
The Diosna Stewart Family was already in a pitiful state!
If the head patriarch were to find out that someone from their family had offended Kingsley, there likely wouldn't be any hope left for the Diosna Stewart Family!
Only the heavens know which influential figure from the Seavale Stewart Family Kingsley was connected to!
"Very well," Kingsley said with a half-smile. "Please don't interfere in this matter anymore, Mr. Stewart."
Adrian took a deep breath and remained silent, simply nodding in resignation.
"Mr. Adrian!"
"Mr. Adrian!"
Jake and Bronte shouted at the same time. They didn't expect Adrian to abandon them just like that.
Adrian sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and acted as if he couldn't hear anything. He had no intention of responding to Jake and Bronte anymore.
Jake's face turned slightly pale. He knew that the patriarch was preparing to make a tough decision. His pleas would be of no use now.
As such, he turned to Kingsley and asked, "What do you mean by being ' entrusted with a task?' Does it mean that someone wants you to kill me?"
"Looks to me that you don't want to be ignorant," Kingsley commented. "Very well, I'll grant your wish."
As he spoke, a coldness flashed in his light brown eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you kill a Diosna City jeweler when you were young?"
Jake's face changed dramatically upon hearing Kingsley's question.
"I didn't kill anyone!" Jake argued. "A friend came to me at the time and asked me to teach someone a lesson. I went over and gave that person a beating, but I didn't kill him!"
Kingsley remained expressionless. "You didn't kill him? The punches you threw at him were infused with dark energy with each blow. Just now, Bronte Stewart struck Mr. Martin with one punch, and he coughed up blood and passed out.
"But after you struck that person several times, he managed to walk back home by himself, only to die the next day due to ruptured organs. You controlled your strength so precisely. Do you mean to say it wasn't intentional?"
"I…" Jake's countenance shifted. "That guy was a well-known jeweler. Who knows if he would come seeking revenge? I had to eliminate potential future troubles!"
Hearing Jake's confession, the members of the Stewart Family, who had been indignant earlier, fell silent. They hadn't expected Jake to be a murderer.
Kingsley waved his hand impatiently. "As for your crimes, you can explain them to Old Mrs. Sheffield when you get to the Sheffields. For now, I'll deal with the one who injured my friend."
With that, he turned his icy gaze toward the pale-faced Bronte.
