The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 151

"What?" Belle was shocked. Even Xena turned to look, but Belle was too focused to care now. "Are you sure?" she demanded.

"I'm certain! A middle-aged man carried Joshua out the back door over his shoulder. I'm sure he was already lifeless. Judging by how his head was hanging, his neck was likely snapped."

The Phoenix Legion had no shortage of experts. The person Belle sent was also a martial artist who was fully capable of sensing a normal person's breathing. There was no chance of a mistake. "Who was in the room at the time?"

"Felix, Joshua, that middle-aged man, and Lord Kane, who was the last to enter."

Taking a deep breath, Belle hung up and immediately reported everything to Xena." Milady, I suspect that the middle-aged man is Joshua's uncle. But how did Joshua die?" Xena furrowed her brows. "Is it possible Lord Kane killed him? Though that seems too brazen, unlike his style."

Belle strongly agreed with that point, as she knew a secret. "Milady, I can guarantee it wasn't Lord Kane. He wouldn't dare!"

Now, Xena was curious as she stared at Belle. "Because Joshua once told me his uncle is a member of Dragon Alliance. Lord Kane couldn't possibly match him in status or strength."

Dragon Alliance? Xena's brows were knitted together.

She had not expected things to get even more complicated by involving Dragon Alliance. That was an incredibly powerful organization in their country. Even she, as the goddess of war, had to show respect to their deputy leader,

"Felix must have killed him before the others arrived."

Xena immediately dismissed Belle's guess. "Felix isn't stupid. There'd be no chance to dispose of the body in that place. Besides, you said Felix left safely with Lord Kane. As a Dragon Alliance member, would Joshua's uncle ignore his death and let the killer leave unharmed?"

Belle was dumbfounded. Indeed, that was impossible. Not only overlooking a relative's death but letting the murderer leave unscathed? "Milady, should we intervene in this case?

After pondering for a moment, Xena spoke, "With Dragon Alliance involved, we must proceed cautiously. If not, we'd be needlessly inviting trouble! You should meet Joshua's uncle in my name and ask about the situation.
