Chapter 913 I'll Deal with Him on My Own

"Grandpa, did the Watkins really kill Dad?’ Luke was doubtful about the theory. Even

though the Fausts didn't interact much with the Watkins, the two families had no major

conflict with each other either. Logically, the Watkins wouldn't have committed the

heinous act.

However, he poured over the information that Alec provided him with and ran his

investigation. It was confirmed that the Watkins had been in contact with the two

assassins, who likely died at the Watkins' hands as well. Despite the solid evidence, he still

felt that something was off.

Zeke lifted his gaze but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think?"

"All evidence pointed to the Watkins, but I still think it's strange." However, Luke couldn't

quite pinpoint the reason for his doubt.

Zeke chuckled softly and looked away as he said coldly, "Of course, it's strange because

the Watkins family isn't behind the murder."

"They didn't do it? But the evidence..."

"The evidence merely proved that the Watkins had been in contact with the two assassins.

But who could be sure that they were the masterminds?" Zeke explained.

Luke furrowed his brows, looking confused. "If the Watkins weren't behind the murder, why

did they get into contact with the assassins? They even asked the assassins to frame Alec,

so they were obviously guilty."

"My guess is that the Watkins took the risk and contacted the assassins because they

wanted to take advantage of the situation and frame Alec.’ Zeke, experienced with the

workings of the real world, harbored a guess too. Indeed, he had accurately explained the

plan the Watkins had in mind.

Luke was surprised, followed by confusion. "If the Watkins weren't the mastermind, that

would leave Alec as the main suspect. Had the Watkins not gotten involved, we could have

investigated Alec. But now..."

"Hmph, that's why I think the Watkin Family is useless." Zeke scoffed at how the Watkins

failed to think logically and wondered how that family managed to keep their place as one

of the Ten Elites.

In all honesty, the Watkins were not to be blamed. They had no idea Zeke was planning to

get rid of Alec. In their eyes, they suspected that Yakov was behind Xavier's death. After

all, the two brothers were the main competitors in the race to be the family heir. Everyone

understood that it was impossible for Zeke to hand the Fausts to Alec unless he was out of

his mind. Still, the Watkins, worried that Zeke wouldn't investigate further into Xavier's

death, decided to take the risk and frame Alec. Unfortunately, the move backfired.

"What do we do now? We can't just let it slip, right?' Luke trembled in anger when he was

reminded of the fact that Alec had killed his father. As a Faust, he never encountered a

grievance as such.

Zeke snickered. ’Let it slip?" He had once considered sparing Alec as long as he behaved,

but now...

Despite his past conflicts with Xavier, he was still a father who could not bear to see his

son dying in Alec’s hands. It was impossible to let it slip.

"Grandpa, do you want me to hire someone to get rid of Alec?" Luke suggested.

Zeke shook his head and advised his grandson, "You stay out of this. I'll deal with him on

my own.’

"Grandpa, this case is not worth getting your hands dirty." Luke was unhappy because he

was confident that he could take down Alec.

However, Zeke gave him a look, and he promptly shut up. He knew that, in his

grandfather's eyes, he was no match for Alec. He wanted to argue with Zeke, but he kept

his mouth shut when he recalled his failed plan from the last time.
