Chapter 428 Anthony's Revelation

The day of the funeral arrived. The wind blows gently in every corner of the cemetery. It brought a chill to the groups of people in black suits. The hazy fog gave the whole cemetery a sense of obscurity, and indistinction coupled with the solemnity of the people.

The degu circle in the San Fernando and neighboring countries were shocked at the news of Gregory's death.

Gregory had served the Ranger's Eyes Branch as a captain for years and made a lot of acquaintances and friends. His death affected a great number of people, as Gregory lived with justice in his heart and he was the type of man that knows how to mix with different kinds of people.

When the Ranger's Eyes main branch received the news. They took care of Gregory's death with the utmost care and arranged his funeral at the most worthy place for a valiant man like him.

Ranger Knight's Cemetery is an exclusive and solemn burial place specifically for members of Ranger's Eye, who had contributed greatly to the organization's goals and served them with utmost loyalty. It was the highest honor a Ranger's Eye could get, and it wasn't limited to Main Branch... But all the branches of the Ranger's Eye.

The people in the cemetery had their heads in one direction. They just watched as the people in white vests carry a coffin to a large rectangular hole in the ground. Almost all the people wore black suits, and they threw the white flower in their hands to the coffin with sadness and a downcast expression.

On the high grounds, four meters away from the crowd of the grieving crowd, five men watched the scene gloomily and with pained expressions.

"I didn't expect that he would have passed away from a curse." Ceterus sighed. "As the president of the Ranger's Eye, I could say that he had served the organization with all his heart. He'd been a prominent member. If not for his talent, I wouldn't hesitate to give him a high position in the main branch."

Hearing this, Michael shook his head and says. "If you give him a high position. He won't leave our branch.

"Why?" It was Kidd who asked this time.

Anthony, who had been silent, opened his mouth. "Because Captain Gregory treated our branch as his home. In truth, he doesn't have a family or relatives. Because all of them died at the witch organization's hand. An affiliated organization under the Laughing Phantom."

Ceterus, Michael, Kidd, and Fein turned their heads at Anthony and stared at him with shock.

"You know so much about captain! Why didn't you say early?" Kidd became upset and charged at Anthony.

​ But Fein immediately intercepted Kidd. "Let him talk first."

Kidd took a deep breath and snorted.

"That's why the captain chooses to tell it to me. Because he knew that, I can keep my mouth shut. Although I don't trust anyone completely, the captain trusted me so much." Anthony had a bitter smile on his face. "The captain only told me his secret because of my character. He doesn't want to let you know it or involve you in his personal vendetta. He didn't tell to Michael either because he knew Michael well. And it would put Michael in danger.

Captain Gregory once told that he joined the Ranger's Eye base at the start to become stronger and avenge his family. Collect information about the witch organization. But the group of witches was elusive and didn't leave any trace of their activities. As if they didn't exist in the first place."

"This witch organization is connected to the Laughing Phantom and that Niki?" A cold glint flashes in Fein's pupils. Then took a deep breath at Anthony's sudden revelation to them. "Captain has a lot of secrets. He should have told us. I'm already an S rank. I could have done something!"

Ceterus patted Fein on the back. "I understand your captain. Just like him, or if I was in his position. I won't let my teammates who are my student or even brothers become involved in such dangerous things. Not to mention, the Laughing Phantom might be involved. The most dangerous criminal organization that only composed of peak S ranks."

"Sorry, I just lost control of my emotion just now." Fein bit his lips and tried to calm down the hatred in his heart.

"Damn it!" Kidd cursed and knew that Anthony wasn't to blame. It was their captain's intention.

"I didn't know that he had such a story." Ceterus rubbed his chin.

Michael's eyes were full of determination. He looked at the gloomy crowd of people far away and the workers that started to use the shovels in their hands to bury the captain. "Fein is right! We have to eradicate this witch organization!"

"This is the captain's hard work for years." Anthony took out a black scroll with a four-leaf clover design etched on its cover. "Captain hid it in a secret place and didn't tell anyone but me. In truth, he had already given up his thought of revenge since he met you, Kidd, and Fein."

Anthony looked at Michael. "He was already satisfied in his life and proud to have the three of you as his students. And he told me that he sees and treated Fein like his son figure and younger brother at the same time.

The captain must be angry with me this time, wherever place he was right now. I had been thinking for weeks I would tell to you since the captain had really trusted me about this matter. He was so sure that I wouldn't disclose it."

At this time, Anthony clenched his fist and gritted his teeth."But I just can't! I thought that I wouldn't be attached to anyone for my life because I deemed myself rational. The perspective of objectivity was what I lived with. But I'm a human, after all. I want to tear the witches into pieces with my own hands! But I don't have the power to do so!

Now, even if I have failed the captain's trust in me. He deserved to get justice! Justice for his family and hard work! I won't let all the information he gathered in the past years be wasted."
