Chapter 569: One Zhu down… Eight more to go.
"Hahaha!"
Silas brushed his lips with his fingers, laughing heartily as he checked the photos on his phone. It showed a severed finger. Axel’s finger. Sent from one of the men, he asked to watch and ensure that those useless rogues had done the job.
"Oh, Axel." He chuckled, shaking his head as he swiped his finger to see other gruesome photographs.
The following photos showed some skeletons that hadn’t been dissolved. And then when he checked the next one, it was a photo of Axel’s back soaked in acid. It appeared as if he was just sinking. Although he didn’t see Axel’s face as it was buried in acid already, Silas would never mistake his back.
Silas, Dominic, and Axel practically grew up together as brothers. Although growing up, Silas became more and more distant from the two boys, he had always stared at his ’brothers.’ He had always stared at their backs while he stood from the distance, watching just how lovely they were, unlike him.
"Heh." His laughter subsided, staring at the photo that was considered Axel’s last photo before he died — murdered, drowned in acid to be dissolved. The smile lines on the corner of his lips faded slowly, keeping his attention on the photo.
"You shouldn’t have been so nosy," he murmured as his eyelids drooped. "Blame your fate and your nosy nature. If only you didn’t see me or simply ignored me instead of sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, then you could’ve lived a little longer."
Ironically enough, a vestige of what seemed sadness flickered across his eyes. However, it only appeared in a split second, which could make one wonder if it was just a figment of one’s imagination. There was no way Silas would be a bit saddened by Axel’s death. After all, the person who ordered those rogues to dissolve Axel was Silas.
He was the perpetrator. The murderer of Axel. And for sure, the demise of the entire Zhu family.
