Chapter 52
Soon, a hint of the morning sun broke through the horizon, illuminating the dark world.
He killed The Great Four's patriarchs and paid tribute to the dead souls of his family by presenting their
heads to his grandfather.
Today, on the other hand, was a huge occasion for Cansington, even by the standards of the five
regions.
There had been no official announcements for the date of the Blithe King's succession, but they had
released a notice that it would be held this afternoon in Cansington's military base.
This caused an uproar.
The residents of Cansington were still trying to figure out how to get an invitation to the event.
Immediately after, another breaking news rocked Cansington.
"Good morning, everyone. This is Cansington News. Last night, famous tycoon Yves Frasier was found
dead in his home. Jacob Zimmerman and Desmond Wilson, too, had been found dead in their homes.
They died in the same manner, tied to a chair and decapitated.
"The authorities have launched an investigation.
"For more updates on this news story, please stay tuned to this station."
This news caused another uproar.
What?
Yves Frasier, patriarch of the Frasiers, had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Jacob Zimmerman, patriarch of the Zimmermans, also had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
Desmond Wilson, patriarch of the Wilsons, and also part of The Great Four, also had a significant net
worth.
What was going on?
Who dared make trouble when the Blithe King's succession ceremony was just about to begin? These
deaths were not of ordinary people. They were three of the most well-known tycoons in Cansington!
This was obviously done to provoke the Blithe King!
Everyone was discussing the situation that had developed, along with the earlier death of Warren
Xavier, the late patriarch of the Xaviers.
Was it just a coincidence that all four patriarchs of The Great Four are all dead, or was someone
behind this?
Cansington, the city hospital.
Rowena was taken to the hospital in time and had her severed palm attached. However, she could no
longer exert any force with that hand in the future.
She lay on the hospital bed, head covered in bandages.
"Rowena, something major just happened. The heads of the Frasiers, Zimmermans, and Wilsons are
dead! They were all found tied to chairs, with their heads cut off!" an important member of the Xaviers
said.
"What?"
Rowena froze, then trembled.
D-Dead?
"Who the hell hurt you, Rowena? Does this have anything to do with Father's death? Was it the same
person that killed the other three heads?"
Rowena turned pale. "Get everyone in our family to leave, big brother," she said frantically. "Go as far
away as possible, and never come back!"
"What are you so scared of, Rowena?" Hector Xavier asked, confused. "Who exactly is it? Today's the
Blithe King's succession ceremony, but this guy did something that's shaken the entire city. This is
clearly provoking the Blithe King. There's no way he'd let whoever this is get away with it!"
"Don't ask questions. Please just listen to me. Leave now, or our entire family will be eradicated!"
Rowena was terrified.
This was the Black Dragon they were talking about!
The Blithe King meant nothing!
If the Blithe King tried to do anything, he'd die, too!
Hector nodded, still confused. "Fine. I'll arrange for everyone to leave. But… What about you?"
Rowena shook her head. "It's no use. I committed a grave sin. I'll never be able to escape, no matter Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
where I go. Just leave, Hector. Forget about me."
Rowena knew what kind of person the Black Dragon was.
This was a person who stood on top of everyone else.
Escape? How on earth would she do that? Where would she run?
She knew that no matter where she ran to, the Black Dragon would find her, then she would be in real
trouble.
However, if she could find out where Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge was, she may be able to
redeem herself and get her life back. She might even be able to preserve her family's survival.
