Chapter 1203: Finally, some time alone.
"This is all?" Wolf furrowed his brows, staring at the people his men gathered in the living area of the mansion. "The Ashton’s are smaller than I expected."
To be honest, he was expecting a big family. But it turns out the Ashton only had six living members of the family. The rest that was included in their investigation died not so long ago.
"Fine, never mind." Wolf waved dismissively, sitting on the armchair.
He gazed at the six people seated around, which included the head of the family and the youngest family member, who was only around thirteen. However, Wolf couldn’t feel the need to talk nicely because there was one thing this family had in common: their lack of fear. Even the youngest didn’t seem scared.
’Their entire inner security was breached and fell, yet they didn’t show the slightest fear,’Wolf thought.
"Mr. Ashton, I presume you already know who we are and where we are from," said Wolf to the oldest man within the group. "I don’t want us to waste our time."
Mr. Ashton looked at the old man sharply. "We are not supporting Hera Cruel as the new head of the Oxley Family. Even if you kill —" The man’s sentence was cut short and so was his life when a bullet went through his forehead.
"Who’s next in line after him?" Wolf placed down his pistol, scanning the faces around. This time, their lack of fear was laced with surprise. It was the first time they showed a different expression aside from the stoic one.
"Who will succeed him if he dies?" he asked again, only to see the youngest point at a young man. Wolf looked at the young man sternly and repeated his opening remarks. "Mr. Ashton, I presume you already know who we are and where we are from. Don’t waste our time."
