Caesar met his eyes and said playfully, “Brother is such a devoted son. How could you do such a sacrilegious thing?
That was doyen's ashes in there. And you threw it away so casually?"
Elaine held Franklin up and said with red eyes, "Uncle! Did you ... Did ... Did you plan all this?"
Franklin pulled her back and his face turned livid, "Did you intend to blow me up?"
"I was just trying to see what your choice would be. You sure didn't disappoint me." Caesar added, "It was a worthy
death for him to have ended up like that."
One of the elders was shaking with anger as he was being held up, "How could the James family have such an
impious person like you!"
Caesar chuckled, "I have long since ceased to be a member of the James family. I have come here today to see
doyen off for the last time."
He looked at the crowd and his eyes turned ferocious, "You will all be buried with him."
As Caesar finished speaking, a group of men with guns appeared from all corners of the graveyard and surrounded
them.
The men of the James family had always been living high on the hogs and had never seen such a situation. They all
turned pale and bloodless.
Only a few elders of the James family managed to keep their composure. They were probably used to big scenes,
or perhaps they did not believe that Caesar would dare to do anything.
Caesar looked across the crowd at Clarence and smiled triumphantly, "Mr. Conrad, how nice would it be if you could
just stay at City N! Unfortunately, you have to come and get involved in this mess."
Clarence wrapped his arms around Stella and said indifferently, "So you're going to let me die here with them
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoday."
"Do you expect to walk out of here unhurt? Oh, you ... no, all of you! Are you expecting Darnell to come to your
rescue? He's no better off than you all are right now. Of course, I know he's not easy to deal with, but thanks to a
few of my friends. Even though he's not dead, there's no chance for him to come save you."
Clarence said, "So that's how it is."
Caesar said, "You figured it out?"
"You arranged for the press to blend in, made a grand speech at doyen's grave, and put all the blame on Darnell.
Now, if we die here, you can tell the public that he was the culprit."
"You're clever."
Clarence said coldly, "But that's just your one-sided story, and it won't achieve the effect you want."
No sooner had Clarence finished speaking than Elaine's voice sounded from not far away. She was struggling, "Let
go of me! Let go of me!"
Caesar shook his head and lamented, "I really can't hide anything from you. Of course, I won't kill everyone. Having
Elaine in my hands will help me out a lot."
Elaine hit and bit the two men who came for her but could not break free.
Franklin tried to get her out, but was kicked right in the knee and fell to the ground.
Elaine's eyes widened and she shouted, "Daddy!"
Stella took a step forward but was pulled back by Clarence. He whispered in her ear, "It's okay."
Caesar looked over at her, "Elaine, if you want your dad to suffer less, you'd better cooperate."
Tears slid down her cheeks. She sobbed in a hoarse voice, "Uncle, how can you ... how can you ... ummm ..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered and she was dragged to Caesar's side.
Caesar said, "Well, it's time for this farce to end."
He raised his hand slightly and walked forward without looking back.
Someone shouted, "This is your family's feud. What has it got to do with us? We're innocent! You can't kill us!"
Caesar smiled at this and turned to look at the man who had spoken, "Innocent? Who is not innocent? If you think
you're innocent, go down there and ask Hilbert why he did it to an innocent child as young as ten years old back
then. Why did he disobey the James family's motto again and again? Why ..."
Caesar did not finish his sentence but continued, "The James family has sinned greatly. What's more, haven't you all
been dissatisfied with the rules of the James family for a long time? Since you can't change anything in this life, I will
send you on your way. But your deaths will be worthwhile. At least the James family will no longer be confined to
Riverside City in the future."
As Caesar left, some of the James family cried out in despair, some helplessly begged for mercy, and some closed
their eyes and waited for death, knowing it was hopeless to struggle.
The moment the gun went off, Stella's ears were covered.
Yet a few shots later, all of the James family were safe and sound. They looked at each other incredulously, with a
mixture of bewilderment and elation on their faces.
Caesar also seemed to have sensed something wrong, and when he looked back, he found that his men had fallen
to the ground.
Caesar's face changed slightly. Before he could react, Darnell appeared in his line of sight.
For a moment, everyone in the James family heaved a sigh of relief and looked excited.

At the sight of him, Elaine's teary eyes lit up with excitement. She couldn't help but start to struggle, "Let go of me
..."
Caesar glanced at her and warned, "Elaine!"
Elaine shouted, "Uncle, stop it! It's not too late to stop. He won't hurt you. ..."
"Shut up!"
Elaine had never seen him looking so terrifying. She was so shocked that the rest of her words caught in her throat
and she couldn't make another sound.
Caesar looked back at Darnell and pushed his glasses up, "It seems I underestimated you."
The fire at the shrine was just a trigger to lure Darnell there and intercept him on the way.
What he hadn't expected was that he would be back in such a short time.
Darnell said, "By now, you won't be denying that you killed those elders, will you?"
Caesar laughed, "Yes, so what if I killed them? You and they have always been at odds. Wouldn't it be better if I
removed those obstacles for you? How would you hold the position as the head of the James family with them
around?"
Caesar turned to look at some of the James family members, "And these people. You should know better than I do
that some of them, on the surface, worship you as the head of the family, but behind your back, many of them
think that you are too young to take on this great responsibility and are trying to pull you down from this position."
"Now if you kill these people, there will be no one to oppose you anymore and the whole James family will be yours.
Shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
At Caesar's words, those of the James family, who had seen hope, had their faces turned pale again. Those who
had defied Darnell and played a lot of tricks in secret, their faces turned as white as sheet.
If Caesar allied with Darnell, they would have no choice but to die today.
