Chapter 8

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In a villa in the south of the city.

Grief came over Sebastian as he held Jack’s head and looked at his broken corpse.

The Zoffs were a big family and had many descendants, but Jack was Sebastian’s one and only biological son!

But now, he was dead! On top of that, he didn’t even die in peace! Not only did Heller cut off his head, but he had even gouged out both of his eyeballs!

As for his body, Heller had thrown him off the top of a building again and again until he fell into pieces. He didn’t even have a whole and intact corpse!

“Argh! Arghhh!!”

“Who was it?! Who did this?! Who is audacious enough to treat my son like this?!”

With his voice shaking, the bodyguard with the severed hand replied, “It’s Heller! Sir, Heller is back! Mr. Jack pushed Heller’s daughter off the rooftop. Heller’s the one who killed Mr. Jack!”

With a savage look, Sebastian ordered sharply, “Mobilize all the Zoff elites! Find Heller even if you must comb the whole place! I’m going to rip him into a million pieces with my own hands!”

His subordinates quickly replied, “Sir, we’ve found the old fogey who has been secretly taking care of Ruby and her daughter all these years!”

“Bring him here!”

…

“Get on your knees!”

One of the Zoffs brought the staggering old man over and pushed him onto the ground.

Sebastian looked down condescendingly at the old man on his knees in front of him and asked coldly, “Tell me, where is Ruby and that little bastard?”

The old man deliberately put on a confused look and said, “Who’s Ruby? I… I don’t know her…”

Sebastian was so furious that he couldn’t help but smile instead. He said, “You don’t know her? Old man, are you tired of living?”

Sebastian took a dagger from a subordinate and stabbed the old man. He grinned sinisterly and asked, “Do you now remember where Ruby is?”

The old man was shaking all over, but he nevertheless insisted, “I, I really don’t know who she is!”

“Heh!”

Sebastian ordered coldly, “Men! Refresh this old fogey’s memory for him!”

“Yes, sir!”

Four men from the Zoffs surrounded the old man and started cruelly punching and kicking him.

Covered in injuries, the old man fell to the ground. But even so, he simply refused to say even a word more.

Sebastian looked at the old man. Even though the old man was already in his twilight years and was old enough to be his father, there was no mercy in Sebastian’s eyes at all.

Seeing the old man constantly cry out in pain, Sebastian felt incredibly pleased.

At this point, his subordinates quickly came up to him.

“Sir, we found out that the butler William Zoff has died in the Central Hospital! Additionally, we also found out that Nelly Nicholson has been hospitalized there!”

With a wave, Sebastian ordered, “Capture her and bring her here! I’m going to kill Heller’s daughter in front of him! I want his whole family to accompany my son in hell!”

“Uncle Sebastian!”

Tyler Zoff stepped forward and said, “Leave this to me! I’ll avenge Jack with my own hands!”

“Go!”

Sebastian turned and looked at the innumerable elites from the Zoffs. He said coldly, “My son mustn’t die in vain!”

“Blood debts must be paid with blood!”

“I’m going to raise hell here!”

“Send my order—search the whole city for Heller!”

“Yes, sir!”

Dressed in black suits with the word ‘Zoff’ inscribed on their backs and holding blades, hundreds of elites from the Zoffs emerged in full force!

…

At the Xanders, the housekeeper came over hurriedly and said anxiously, “Ms. Lucy, I just received news that Heller has killed Jack Zoff!”

Lucy got up abruptly. “What did you say?!”

The housekeeper quickly replied, “According to what we currently know, Heller pushed Jack off the top of a building and cut off his head. He died without an intact corpse!”

“Hiss!”

Lucy couldn’t help but gasp.

She understood now.

It was only now that Lucy finally realized what the strange sound she had heard during her phone call with Heller earlier was!

“Sebastian has gone mad!”

“The entire Zoff family has gone mad! From the look of things, the Zoffs will not give up until they kill Heller tonight!”

The look in the housekeeper’s eyes sharpened and he said solemnly, “Ms. Lucy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We can cooperate with the Zoffs to kill Heller once and for all and eliminate the problem at the root!”

Lucy narrowed her eyes and considered his suggestion for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, “No! We’ve hogged the Nicholsons’ assets all these years. All the major families in L.A. have always been unhappy about this.”

“After five years, I’ve finally managed to stabilize the situation. I mustn’t panic at a point like this just because of Heller!”

“I mustn’t have any more blood on my hands!”

At this point, Lucy paused for a moment. Then, she chuckled softly and said, “Now that Heller has killed Jack, given Sebastian’s temperament, he’ll never let Heller off anyway!”

“We don’t need to do this ourselves!”

“Five years ago, I used the Zoffs to wipe out Heller’s entire family!”

“We can also use someone else to do the dirty work this time!”

“All we need to do is sit this one out and reap the spoils later. If we make use of the Zoffs, we can easily take Heller’s life without getting any blood on our hands!”

“Send my orders!”

“The Xander elites are not to act rashly without my permission!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

When he finished, Lucy picked up her cell phone and called Sebastian. She said, “Hello, Mr. Zoff. I heard that Heller killed Jack? How audacious of him!”

“The whole of L.A. has their eyes on you now!”

“You must avenge Jack!”

“Otherwise, how are the Zoffs going to gain a foothold in L.A. in the future? Am I right?”

“Hehe!”

Lucy giggled triumphantly and unrestrainedly. She was incredibly smug!

While she didn’t want to do it herself, she was extremely skilled at fanning the flames.

Lucy walked over to the window. As she gazed at the moon outside, she murmured, “I don’t believe Sebastian can put up with it this time!”

“Let’s see how you’re gonna die this time, Heller!”

“You’ll never get out of my hold!”

…

In the hospital.

Tyler entered the ward and looked at the little girl on the bed. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised as he asked, “You must be Nelly, right?”

Nelly tilted her head and looked at Tyler. She asked curiously, “Who are you?”

The Zoff bodyguards moved to take Nelly, but they were stopped by Tyler.

They were in the hospital.

There were too many people around. Tyler didn’t want to make a scene or cause any accidents.

Jack was already dead. The reason why Tyler had so eagerly volunteered for the task was so that he could perform well in front of Sebastian and replace Jack!

“I’m a good friend of your father’s!” Tyler looked at Nelly with a seemingly harmless smile and said persuasively, “Your Daddy asked me to pick you up. How about I carry you out?”

Daddy?

Upon hearing that, Nelly’s eyes lit up. “Are you really Daddy’s friend? Where’s Daddy? Why isn’t he here?”

Tyler replied patiently, “He’s very busy, so he couldn’t get away. That’s why he asked me to take you out!”

The girl was obviously a little tempted, but despite that, she said in a troubled manner, “But Mommy told me not to leave the ward!”

Tyler narrowed his eyes a little. He suddenly took out his cell phone and started to play a video. Then, he said, “Nelly, you know this old man, right? Someone beat him up and he’s about to die! He says that he would like to see you before he dies. Can you bear to refuse him?”

Nelly panicked at once.

Over the years, the old man had been wordlessly taking care of her. She wasn’t related to the old man, but they were even closer than actual family!

“No! I don’t want Grandpa to die!”

“Wait for Nelly, Grandpa!”

“Nelly’s coming for Grandpa!”

Tyler smiled triumphantly!

He walked up, carried Nelly in his arms, and quickly left the hospital.
