Chapter 101 Murder with a Borrowed Knife. To get Killed


    Cecilia was dying of shyness.


    Her heart beat fast, her face turned red, and she gave Sean a hard look. Between her lips, there was


    still the smell of Sean.


    “Honey, I’ll leave this to you.”


    Marcia came running this way in a menacing manner. If she had been handed a knife, she would have


    dismembered Sean on the spot. How dare Sean stay? So, he said awkwardly, “I’m gonna go check on


    Phyllis.”


    Whoosh!


    Then he turned into a broken shadow and ran away, disappearing in the hospital in the blink of an eye.


    He couldn’t help it. Sean had a thousand ways of dealing with his enemies.


    But he had no experience dealing with his mother-inw.


    So, he’d better leave.


    Leaving this to me?


    Cecilia froze there. By the time she knew it, Sean had disappeared without a trace. She nced in the


    direction in which Sean had disappeared. Her blushing face was quickly covered with rage and she


    stamped her feet.


    He hugged her, he kissed her, and he just ran away?


    How could he be so irresponsible?


    Bah! yboy!


    Ashamed and angry, Cecilia was about to go after him when Marcia arrived. She took her by the arm


    and asked, “Cecilia! What’s going on here?”


    “Didn’t you promise me you’d never fall for him?”


    “Didn’t you say you would never ept another man until you found Phyllis’s real father?”


    A series of questions came flying down her face.


    Cecilia felt guilty when she met Marcia’s fierce gaze. She bit her lip and wriggled till she hit upon a very


    “He was actually blowing dust out of my eyes.”


    “Can you believe it?”


    Cecilia herself, let alone Marcia, would not believe this. But Marcia caught her red-handed, and she


    had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk nonsense…


    …


    At that time.


    In the Mason family of the capital city.


    The sun rose slowly, reddening the eastern half of the sky. The billowing red cloud was like the blood,


    covering the whole Capital City and the Mason family, vaguely revealing a deste sense of


    extermination.


    There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps. Bell, the butler, hurried to the main building where


    Bernardo Mason lived. He reached out and rang the bell several times, and about ten minutester, the


    door was opened.


    Bernardo Mason was in his pajamas, clearly unhappy to have been woken from a good dream. Seeing


    that it was Bell, he snorted coldly, “Bell, since when are you so out of line?”


    Anyone else would have been punished.


    “Urgent, Mr. Mason!”


    Bell said with a stern face, “Word just came in from Hilshire that Reid’s mission may have failed.”


    “What?”


    Bernardo Mason froze and instantly lost his drowsiness. He asked, “What happened?”


    “I just got a call from Luis Sanchez. ording to him, yesterday afternoon, Sean kidnapped Grayson


    Miller, Morton Miller’s son, and Caleb Taylor, Michael Taylor’s son, as a threat to meet with the three


    families on the South side, in the evening at Peace Cemetery in Hilshire...”


    “Peace Cemetery is the site of Nic Wright’s grave!”


    “Reid went there, too.”


    Bell said, with a very grave face, “As a result, he never came back, and we don’t know if he is still


    alive!”


    “Luis Sanchez receives a call from the driver who suspects that Reid’s mission has failed and that


    Sean had caught him. Fearing retaliation from Sean, he fled Hilshire overnight to join friends in the


    Crane Town.”


    “Just now, he called me from a pay phone, asking for our protection. He wants us to send someone to


    the Crane Town and bring him to the Capital City.”


    Bell outlined the situation to Bernardo Mason.


    Hearing this, Bernardo Mason frowned deeply. Then he said dryly, “With Reid’s skill, how could he miss


    a Sean Mason?”


    “I can’t figure it out either!”


    Bell said, “Reid is in Late Stage in Dark Energy. And Sean, when he was put away five years ago,


    didn’t even make it to the Dark Energy. Otherwise, he would not easily fall into our trap and have no


    force to fight back.”


    “To beat Reid, you must be in Complete Stage in Dark Energy. ording to Luis Sanchez’s driver, the


    fighting on Mint Mountain was fierce, with sand flying and mes.”


    “Therefore, I wonder whether there will be experts in the Complete Stage in Dark Energy around Sean


    to protect him. Otherwise, how dare he retaliate so recklessly against the three families south of the


    city?”


    This result was much more than Bernardo Mason and Bell had expected.


    Bernardo Mason asked after a moment’s thought, “What happened to Sean’s daughter? Is she dead?”


    “Probably not.”


    Bell shook his head and said, “At least, Phyllis Moore was alive when Luis Sanchez fled Hilshirest


    night. By that time, it must have been about six hours since Reid injected her with Colored ze Holy


    Water.”


    “At her age of four and with her physiology, six hours is enough to kill her, if she has no special


    constitution and blood! She’s not dead, which means she probably inherited the Mason family’s blood


    from Sean!”


    Bernardo Mason’s pupils shrank sharply.


    Bell seemed to be on to something. He suggested, “Is there a possibility, Mr. Mason, that Sean is a


    member of the Mason family and he has the Mason family’s blood in his veins. He was in prison for five


    years, will it be a coincidence that he got lucky in prison and found a way to activate his constitution


    and blood, resulting in a strength increase, so…”


    “And that’s why Reid failed.”


    Hearing that, Bernardo Mason’s shrunken pupils burst with cold!


    Did he activate the bloodline?


    Indeed, the possibility could not be ruled out!


    In the whole Mason family in the Capital City, there were hundreds of members only in one branch.


    Even with Colored ze Holy Water, which was designed to activate bloodlines, the sess rate was


    minimal. It was hard to pick one out of ten.


    Also, activating the bloodline was a very dangerous thing to do. He made it or he died!


    There could be no third way!


    Therefore, the Mason family in the Capital City had been cautious. If they were not more than 70


    percent sure, they would not dare to let the Mason’s children inject Colored ze Holy Water. On the


    one hand, it was too dangerous and on the other hand, it was too wasteful.


    But Sean had been incarcerated at the Hilshire Detention Center for five years. Without Colored ze


    Holy Water, how could he somehow activate the blood?


    How lucky was he?


    “Go investigate it!”


    Bernardo Mason said quietly, “This is a serious matter. We must find it out. If it is true that Sean has


    activated the bloodline and is in Complete Stage in Dark Energy, he will be a big trouble for the Mason


    family and must be eradicated as soon as possible!”


    The Mason family in the Capital City had cultivated many Masters of Dark Energy over the years, but


    few of them could bot to the Complete Stage in Dark Energy.


    A master in the Complete Stage in Dark Energy had too much damage. Once he fought for his life, he


    was a great threat even to the Mason family in the Capital City. After all, Sean was not a fool. He would


    never be so stupid as to choose a master of the Mason family who is in the Complete Stage in Dark


    Energy. What should we do if he popped up every now and then and killed some of the Mason family?


    He was sure to make the whole Mason family in the Capital City nervous and can’t sleep well!


    “Okay!”


    Bell turned and walked away, “I’ll arrange it right away.”


    “Wait!”


    He had taken a few steps when Bernardo Mason suddenly called out to him. He looked back and said,


    “What else do you want me to do?”


    Bernardo Mason snorted, “Phyllis Moore was injected with Colored ze Holy Water, which is now


    clear. With her age and physiological function, even with her special constitution and bloodline, she


    could not resist the erosion of Colored ze Holy Water.”


    “Right?”


    Bell thought about it and nodded, “Yes! Unless…”


    Bernardo Mason said coldly, “Unless, of course, they can find a way to suppress the encroachment of


    Colored ze Holy Water and reduce the damage it does to her body. However, there is only one way


    to do this.”


    Bell said, “Are you talking about the form recorded in Ancient Medical Bible?”


    The Ancient Medical Bible was the ancient medical book that Spirit Wolf was talking about. Spirit Wolf


    had it, and apparently, so did the Mason family in The Capital City. So, Bernardo Mason knew exactly


    how to suppress Colored ze Holy Water!


    Bernardo Mason nodded, “The recipe in the Ancient Medical Bible calls for 49 rare herbs. And it must


    draw on the blood of a man whose bloodline has been activated for it to work.”


    “And of the forty-nine famous herbs, the rarest and most important one is called Ladies Star Grass.”


    “Ladies Star Grass is rare because nobody knows where it grows or what kind of environment it needs.


    It can’t be nted or cultivated. The only way to get it is at the Crane Town’s annual underground


    auction. As I recall, I think it’s almost auction time.”


    Bell nodded and said, “Yes. The day after tomorrow.”


    Bernardo Mason sneered, “If Sean’s doctor is lucky enough to read the Ancient Medical Bible, then the


    day after tomorrow’s underground auction is his only chance to save Phyllis Moore. Do you think he’ll


    miss it?”


    Bell said excitedly with a sharp twinkle in his eyes, “You can rest assured. I know what to do.”


    Once they knew where Sean was, how could they not kill Sean if they had two or three masters in


    Complete Stage in Dark Energy set up an ambush in advance and put him in an ambush?”


    “No, you don’t.”


    Bernardo Mason, however, shook his head and said, “If we have a good understanding of both sides of


    the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without danger. We can’t make any moves until we know for


    sure what Sean really is capable of. If we fail and we let him escape, he’ll make waves in the Capital


    City. By then, I’m afraid the Old Mrs. Mason would me us.”


    Bell was stunned, “So, what are you saying…?”


    “Shall we make it a murder with a borrowed knife?”


    Bernardo Mason said with confidence, “If I remember correctly, in the Moore family of Hilshire, there


    was a woman named Lorraine Moore, Cecilia Moore’s aunt, who married into the Rodriguez family of


    the Crane Town.”


    “Yes.”


    Bell nodded and said, “Over the years, the Moore Group has been able to establish itself in Hilshire


    and is worth over $100 million. And it’s all because of the marriage. Because they were supported by

    the Rodriguez family in the Crane Town.”


    “Yes.”


    Bernardo Mason continued, “What does the Rodriguez family rely on to establish itself in Crane Town?”


    Bell’s face suddenly changed!


    “The ancestor of the Rodriguez family.”


    The Rodriguez family of the Crane Town had a venerable ancestor named York Rodriguez. He was


    also a powerful figure in his youth and built the Rodriguez family.


    Ten years ago, York Rodriguez turned 100 and got into Complete Stage in Dark Energy he dreamed of.


    After the birthday feast, he retired to practice and no longer asked about the Rodriguez family’s worldly


    affairs.


    For ten years he never appeared again!


    But no one could ignore York Rodriguez He had the perfect terror power of Complete Stage in Dark


    Energy ten years ago. If he was alive, he must be better now.


    Fear of York Rodriguez was what had kept the Rodriguez family thriving in Crane Town for the past


    decade. Even the Campbell family, whose overall strength exceeded that of the Rodriguez family,


    would notpletely break with the Rodriguez family unless it was necessary.


    Bernardo Mason said with a smile, “It should be enough for us to let this ancestor of the Rodriguez


    family find out about Sean. If he can kill Sean, that would be great. Even if he can’t, we can at least find


    out what Sean’s cards are, and we can do it. It will be a m Dunk.”


    “Brilliant!”


    After a spontaneous wave of ttery, Bell said awkwardly, “Mr. Rodriguez hasn’t been seen in 10 years,


    and we don’t even know if he’s alive or dead. Besides, there’s no bad blood between Sean and him, so


    I’m afraid the Moore family situation isn’t enough.”


    “Stupid, do I have to teach you that?”


    Bernardo Mason red at Bell and snorted, “If there’s no bad blood between them, then we’ll help


    them create some. If their resentment is not enough, we help them to increase it to the point of sworn


    enemies. When the Rodriguez family faced life and death, if Wesley Rodriguez is alive, he would fight


    Sean to death…”


    “I got it.”


    Bell saw the light.


    “And.”


    Bernardo Mason went on, “Among the two dozen lots up for sale in this underground auction is


    something the Porters want. So, the Porters are going to send someone there.”


    “And it’s Luna Porter, Sean’s fiancée five years ago, who will be there.”


    With that, Bernardo Masonughed.


    Heughed grimly.


    Then he said quietly, “Sean went to prison for rape five years ago, ruining not only himself, but Luna


    Porter’s reputation. Luna Porter hates him so much, you know, so, what would happen if they meet in


    the Crane Town?”


    “Aha…”


    Bernardo Mason couldn’t helpughing just at the thought.


    The Mason family in The Capital City was not the only one who didn’t want Sean to live in this world.


    The Porter family in the Capital City was equally powerful, in the same league as the Mason family!


    The two families would not have married five years ago if they had not been well matched.


    “Mr. Mason!”


    Bernardo Mason couldn’t stopughing when one of the Mason family’s bodyguards came running.


    Then he said respectfully, “Mr. Mason, there were some men outside the door, all the way from Hilshire.


    They brought four boxes of stuff and they said it was a big gift for you.”


    “Oh?”


    Bernardo Mason’sughter stopped abruptly at the word Hilshire and his heart twitched. He had a


    vague feeling that something was wrong. So, he asked, “What about the guy who brought it over?”


    The bodyguard replied, “They put the things down and left.”


    “And where is the thing?”


    Bernardo Mason asked.


    The bodyguard immediately turned around, waved his hand, and shouted, “Get the stuff over here.”


    Footsteps were heard, and soon four bodyguards were approaching, each carrying a suitcase in his


    arms. The boxes were not big, about 20 inches long, wide, and high, big enough to hold a basketball.”


    Bernardo Mason nced over the boxes, and his eyes became cold as if he had guessed what they


    contained. He said, “Open the boxes.”


    His voice was as cold as frost.


    “Okay!”


    Without hesitation, the four bodyguards reached in and ripped the tape off the box and lifted the lid.


    Then they looked down at the contents of the boxes. For a moment, their mouths gaped, their scalps


    tingled, and all four boxes slipped out of his hands their hands trembled...


    All four boxes slipped out of their hands and then four bloody heads rolled out of the box like


    basketballs!
