Chapter 477
Whoosh!
Dean grabbed the newspaper . His eyes concentrated on the column on the corner of the newspaper: "Ivy Street No . 72 . . . owners . . . suicide . . . suspected to commit because of problems with neighbors . . . "
He read word by word over and over again .
His hands trembled as his breathing got rough!
Ha!
Dean suddenly got up as he caught and crushed all the newspapers including the one in his hand .
Neuss who was next to Dean was frightened because of Dean's angry action . He had been with Dean for so long but he had never seen him act so angry . He was not angry even when he was insulted in the prison!
"Stay here!" Dean coldly said as he left the office .
Hawkeye was returning and happened to see Dean in the corridor . He wanted to greet the elder but saw that the atmosphere wasn't right . He carefully said: "Elder, that youth has been finished . . . Are you worried about that?"
"I'll go out for a trip . " Dean passed by Hawkeye as he walked step by step . His eyes concentrated on Hawkeye's face for a moment . The man felt chill because of Dean's glance . Dean said: "If anyone follows me then there won't be a return trip for them!"
He was like a ghost that passed through the corridor after the speech .
Hawkeye was startled . He turned to check the elder but saw that Dean already was nowhere to be found except his robe that was on the ground .
. . .
. . .
Dean took a horse as he left the manor . This was a red brown horse which was bred by the Talin family . He didn't need to show proof of identity and could go to anywhere within the outer wall as long as he rode the horse .
The horse flew like a lightning through the streets .
Dean came to the heart of the commercial district after an hour . The place was bustling and overcrowded .
He reached an inn and dismounted . Dean threw the rope at the attendant and said: "Take care of it . " He turned towards the street and mixed into the crowd .
He joined the adjacent street and quickly knead his face to change it . He grabbed a passerby and joined an alley . He stripped the clothes of that person and replaced with his own clothing . He quickly left the place to the other side of the central area .
Dean came to Ivy Street No . 72 after a few minutes . He saw a spacious manor . There was a carriage of the magistrate parked in front of the manor . The carriage was reinforced with steel . A knight of the magistrate was leaning to the side of the carriage as he held onto a piece of bread . He was chewing it in a depressed mood .
There was a heat of a figure inside the manor who seemed to be busy with something .
Dean sensed the thick pungent smell in the air . Even an ordinary person would be able to to sense this taste of rot .
Dean's heart sank as if the cold snowflakes fell onto the frosty lake .
Whoosh!
Dean disappeared from the street .
Dean's figure appeared on the third floor of the manor the next moment . He gently pushed the curtains as he slowly walked inside . Luster of dust floated on air .
He was silent for a moment . Afterwards he slowly went to the second floor . He was like a ghost as there was no sound when moved .
He saw chaos in the second flor . The pillor on the sofa had fallen to the ground as if a robbery has happened . There was a new textile machine on the corner of the living room which was full of dust .
The figure emitting the heat was busy on the first floor . A sound was issued .
Dean bit his lips as he quietly went downstairs . He saw a knight of the magistrate wearing few layers of gloves and masks . However it seems that the masks weren't enough to block the bad air . The knight squatted on the ground as he dragged a seriously rotten corpse .
There were scars all over the body . The ears seemed to have been cut off and was full of blood . The body was stripped of clothes and there were whip marks all over the body . It wasn't difficult to imagine how much the owner of the body had suffered before death .
Dean's mind buzzed and went blank as he saw the face of the owner of the corpse .
It was his adopted mother Jura!
He felt like he fell into a cold abyss . . .
He had bought this manor for Jura, Gray and their newly adopted kid to settle . The house was tranferred to them so when he saw the address on the news his heart had sunk .
Chaos run amok in his mind as he stared .
The knight of the magistrate dragged Jura's body along the smooth wooden floor . There was panic and anger in Jura's eyes that were still open . The knight dragged the body along the corridor until it was taken outside .
Dean stood still . He thought of the conclusion written in the newspaper: "suicide . . . suicide?"
He grinned but he couldn't laugh . . .
"suicide . . . . . . "
"There are so many scars on the body but the magistrate decided that they have committed suicide!"
Tears flew down across his cheeks . . .
The grin was still on his face . He looked like a madman .
He thought that he would never be emotional again . . . He would never cry . . .
But life and reality were ruthless!
