Chris, who sat in the front row, said, “He is in the dungeon.”
Rachel nodded. Then, she turned to look at David. “Mary told me that she heard Nathan contact Marina
during the kidnapping. Nathan can’t move freely. In addition, he needs sufficient. materials to make
bombs. This might be rted to Marina.”
“Did Yann really not cause any casualties when he led the men to the houses of the eight branches?”
If it was just because the eight branches were caught, it should not have caused such a huge hatred in
Nathan’s heart. Nathan was even prepared to die with David.
It was obvious that Nathan did not intend to continue living in this world.
David raised his eyes and nced at Rachel. His tone was indifferent and cold. “The head and
mistress of the eight branches of the coteral familymitted suicide by taking poison during their
detention and interrogation. ording to the police autopsy report, they died of potassium cyanide
poisoning.”
The toxicity of potassium cyanide acted up quickly. Once one ate 0.1 grams of potassium cyanide,
there was a slim chance of survival.
This poison was undoubtedly the most lethal.
If they had died on the way to the police station, they could be considered to havemitted suicide to
avoid punishment. However, they had died during the custody and interrogation. This could not help but
make people wonder if they hadmitted suicide to avoid punishment or if someone had nned to
silence them.
Rachel pursed her lips slightly, and the depths of her charming

eyes flickered with a clear coldness.
“Why would they be given the chance tomit suicide during the custody and interrogation?”
“ording to an internal police investigation, it’s mainly because of the inaction of twow enforcement
officers.”
When Rachel heard this, her lips curled into a mocking smile.
This reason was really perfunctory.
This made Rachel even more certain that there was more to the death of Nathan’s parents.
Not long after, the car entered the range of the old residence.
The car door opened, and the two of them got out of the car one after another.
Rachel naturally reached out her arm and h***ked it around David’s arm. Her eyes flickered with an
ambiguous dark light. “Will all the heads of the major families arrive today?”
David raised his eyebrows slightly. “What’s wrong? You want to act?”
“Can I?” Rachel looked at David.
David nced at Rachel and did not ask anything. He turned his head slightly and instructed Yann,
“Send Nathan to the old
residence!”
Yann said, “Yes.”
The two of them continued to walk into the old residence. David’s arm wrapped around Rachel’s
slender waist. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Those wearing armbands are all on our side.”
“Darling, you are thoughtful enough.” Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes sparkling with a
smile.

David’s thin lips curled up into a faint smile. His eyes were filled with infatuation which he was not even
aware of. “How can I bear to disappoint you, my baby?”
David’s tone was filled with pampering and indulgence. “All of the main family are sitting in the
meditation hall to rest.”
Obviously, this included Marina.
The two of them crossed the threshold of the inner residence. The butler weed them at the right
time. He nodded slightly at David and said respectfully, “Greetings, Mr. David, Miss Grey.”
David nodded slightly.
The butler continued, “The heads of the major families and the three elders of the Elders have been
waiting at Gentlemen Pavilion for a long time. Mr. Johnson asks you to go over first.”
David frowned imperceptibly. His hand on Rachel’s waist could not help but tighten. “Remember what I
said.”
Rachel nodded. “Got it. Go quickly.”
After watching David leave, Rachel prepared to go elsewhere for a stroll and familiarize herself with the
environment of the meditation hall.
Unexpectedly, the butler suddenly called out to Rachel, “Miss Grey, please wait.”
Rachel paused slightly and turned to look at butler.
The butler walked forward with a smile. “Mr. Jones wants to chat with you, Miss Grey.”
When Rachel heard this, a look of contemtion shed across her eyes.
Old Mr. Jones’s invitation had indeed exceeded Rachel’s expectations.
Chapter 709
Since Rachel had already been here, there was nothing to be worried about. She nodded and agreed.
“Please lead the way.”
Rachel’s attitude slightly surprised the butler.
With the Jones family’s status and power in Aureliana, anyone would have to show some respect to the
butler.
As the Jones family’s butler, his identity was naturally high.
Considering the Jones family’s status, very few people dared to neglect the butler.
The butler knew very well that those people were only polite to him on the surface because of the
Jones family and Old Mr. Jones.
However, Rachel was polite to him not due to it. Rachel was only showing the minimum respect to
others.
The butlerposed himself and said calmly, “Miss Grey, please!”
The two of them passed through a quiet path and finally arrived at the moderate hall hidden in the
bamboo forest.
The butler pushed open the exquisitely carved wooden door in front of Rachel.
Rachel immediately saw Old Mr. Jones sitting at the table.
Old Mr. Jones was wearing a silver-gray suit, and his white hair was meticulously styled. He held a
chess piece in one hand and studied the chess manual carefully.
Hearing footsteps, Old Mr. Jones slowly looked up. “Come in.”
“Yes,” Rachel replied and walked in.
Under Old Mr. Jones’s signal, Rachel sat opposite him.
“y chess with me again.” As he spoke, Old Mr. Jones pushed the ck chess piece beside him to
Rachel.
Chapter 709
Rachel took the chess piece and ced the first chess piece in the upper right corner on her side.
As the two’s chess pieces fought, Old Mr. Jones’s gazended on Rachel from time to time. It was as if
Old Mr. Jones was looking at someone else through Rachel.
“Your chess moves are very simr to that of an old friend of mine.” Old Mr. Jones’s gaze slowlynded
on the chessboard in front of him. There seemed to be some memories in his eyes. Suddenly, he said
slowly, “It’s a coincidence that this chessboard was given to me by that old friend back then.”
When Rachel heard this, she frowned imperceptibly.
An old friend again…
Ever since Rachel came to Aureliana, everyone seemed to be reminding her that there was a certain
rtionship between her and Aureliana.
Seeing that Rachel was silent, Old Mr. Jones asked, “Do you believe in fate?”
Rachel said in neither servile nor overbearing manner, “When I was very young, I felt that my fate was
up to me and not the heavens. Later on, I felt that the cmity I experienced was all arranged by the
heavens.”
Rachel’s nonchnt tone had a hint of casualness.
As soon as she finished speaking, Rachel ced a ck piece on the chessboard, causing arge
number of white pieces on the right side of the chessboard to die.
Such a fierce attack caught Old Mr. Jones off guard. When he looked at the entire situation, he
suddenly realized that he had been negligent.
Old Mr. Jones let out a lowugh and said meaningfully, “Miss Grey, you are quite good.”

Rachel slowly raised her eyes and looked at Old Mr. Jones. “May I know what you’re referring to?”
“Of course, everything.” Old Mr. Jones picked up the cup beside him and took a sip. “One who can
order the Red me Army around at will is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Rachel was slightly stunned, but the surprise in her eyes disappeared in an instant.
“This is Aureliana. If I want to know, nothing can hide from me,” Old Mr. Jones said.
