"This traitor has been very good at hiding himself. There haven't been any slip-ups so far." Samuel shook his head. He continued, "One thing for sure, they hold significant influence within the Hill family. They're either one of the Hill brethren or someone from the main family."The Hill brethren consisted of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. They were also Paul Hill's four sons. Each one held substantial resources and had ambitious goals. They were also smart in politics. "You might as well not have said anything." Dustin frowned. "There are so many people in the Hill family. How could I find a traitor in such a short time?"He had his suspicions before. But he couldn't find any concrete evidence."Relax, Mr. Rhys. It isn't exactly hard to find out who the traitor is. However, you would have to take a little risk." Samuel smiled meaningfully. "Oh? Do you have a plan, Mr. Franklin?" Dustin was interested."It isn't exactly a brilliant plan. It's just a matter of using

"What? There are no activities on their end?"Autumn listened to reports from one of his men in one of the courtyards of the Hill family residence. He couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Are you sure?""I'm very sure!"The man said seriously, "We kept watch on them for the whole of yesterday. All of them from the Kirin Gang had stayed in Zephyr Lodge. Not even one of them set foot outside." "What is the rascal up to?" Autumn mused.Dustin had been doing everything he could to gather information and investigate the issue for the past few days. It was truly suspicious now that he suddenly stopped all activities. "Keep your eyes on them at all times. Report back immediately once you have any information," Autumn instructed. "Yes, sir!" With that, the man turned and left.By the third day, there was still no activity from the Kirin Gang.They continued indulging themselves. They spent all their days either training or having fun. The atmosphere inside Zephyr Lodge was live

That night, most of the disciples from the Kirin Gang got themselves drunk in Zephyr Lodge—all except the patrol team.A group of ten people in spy suits snuck their way in. They quickly searched everywhere in Zephyr Lodge.The group of ten people moved around like ghosts. They made no sound when they landed, and their movements were quick and agile. They were hidden from plain sight. The Kirin Gang's patrol team noticed nothing amiss at all.The group of ten was made up of the Hill family's strongest force, the Hidden guards. Each one of them was extremely talented. All of them had also gone through rigorous training. They excelled in everything: assassination, undercover work, gathering information, and spying on enemies.There were two reasons why the Hill family was one of the Tremendous Three. Besides Paul Hill's identity as a grandmaster, another reason was due to the Hidden guards.They had greatly contributed to eliminating all the Hill family's enemies."Here it is."

"There's evidence on the corpse? It was left on his body before he died?"Autumn's brows furrowed as he thought about it.He had checked the corpse thoroughly when he handled it. He hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary.Could he have missed something?"Gather a few of our men. We're going to the hill behind the Hill family residence. "I'll open the coffin to check on the corpse tonight!"After thinking for a moment, Autumn quickly decided on his next action.He could not afford to take the risk. If he'd missed something, he'd be in huge trouble.He had to destroy any evidence before anyone found out!Thirty minutes later, Autumn and his trusted men secretly went to the hill behind the Hill family residence.This was where all the members of the Hill family were buried after they'd passed away. Paul was buried there, too.When they got to Paul's grave, Autumn bowed deeply and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry, Father. Please don't mind me."Then, he straightened up and

"Stand right there! I'm warning you! "You better not come any closer! I'm part of the Hill family!" Autumn backed up as he shouted at Dustin."How dare you say something like that when you killed your own father?"Dustin looked at him disdainfully. "If I tell the public what happened today, what do you think will happen to you?""Hidden guards! Kill him!" Autumn suddenly yelled.He wanted to kill Dustin to keep things a secret. But there was only silence around him. Only the occasional sound of the wind howling could be heard."Hidden guards? Hidden guards!"Autumn panicked and looked around in distress."Your trusted men are here." Cornelius held two bloody heads in his hands. He appeared from the shadows and walked into the moonlight.Then, with a toss, the heads rolled to Autumn's feet—the blood drained from Autumn's face."There's no escaping for you, Autumn. What else have you got to say now?" Dustin said icily."Wait a minute!"Seeing how the situation was turn

"Dustin, let's not talk about that old man anymore."Autumn swiftly changed the topic. "The important matter now is to think about our future plans."If you support me, I can gain control over the entire Hill family within days!""When have I agreed to work with you?" Dustin asked coldly."What?" Autumn frowned. "I've already said so much. Aren't you the least bit tempted?""You willingly killed your father. If I collaborated with a beast like you, it would only ruin my reputation!"Besides, I will expose all you've done to the public. So prepare to face your death!"Dustin gestured to Cornelius. Cornelius understood his instruction and dashed forward to pin Autumn to the ground."Rhys! You're going back on your word! "You agreed to my proposal earlier on! Why?" Autumn roared, not giving up.He was just one step away. One step away from success. Power, authority, and fame had been so close he felt he could touch them. Why did things turn out this way?"I'm not the best

As time passed, the crowd gathered around at the entrance of Zephyr Lodge grew.The crowd was dense, with tens of thousands of people. Those who were involved, and even those who weren't involved, were there.Some were there to condemn Dustin, while others just to watch the show unfold. Some were even there to enjoy Dustin's misfortune.Most of them knew that if Dustin made it out of this in one piece, he'd have a bright future.If he didn't, they would witness the fall of a genius today."We know you're in there, Dustin! Your seven days are up! Come out and face your death!" the Hill family shouted.The gates of Zephyr Lodge creaked open as Dustin led several of his men out."Wow. What a crowd we have here today. How exciting."Dustin glanced around and saw many familiar faces."Stop playing the fool! You murdered my grandfather! Today is the day you pay for it with your life!" Torben shouted angrily."That's right! Sir Reeds had been generous enough to let you live for anot

The crowd began whispering when they heard what Dustin said. Some of them were shocked, while others had their doubts. But most of them did not believe him."Nonsense! My father had been upright and honest his whole life! "How could he have done such a horrible thing?" Torben bellowed."I'm warning you, Dustin! You better not spout such nonsense around!"Spring's expression was dark. "You murdered my father, and now you're dragging my brother through the mud! What malicious intentions you have!""Let Autumn tell you what he's done. Then you'll know if I'm slandering him."Dustin pulled out the wad of cloth shoved in Autumn's mouth. Then, he kicked him. "Go on, tell them what happened last night.""Spring! Save me! Quick!" Autumn immediately began yelling once he opened his mouth."This scoundrel captured me and started torturing me. He even threatened to wipe out my entire family if I did not take the blame for him! Spring, you have to save me!""You liar! How dare you tell
