Chapter 58

Everyone’s attention was immediately on the black box. Calum

whipped away the black cloth, revealing the two ums sitting within it. They were matte black with writings carved in gold on the side. The golden carving caught the reflection of the light glinting off them.

Everyone was so intrigued by this that no one uttered a single word. Even Cheryl was in absolute disbelief

It was supposed to be a joyous occasion celebrating Cheryl and Patrick’s engagement, so it was no doubt very odd for Liam to bring

two urns here.

Everyone’s gaze landed on the writing, which read, [In loving memory of Chester Cole and Sadie Chanter.]

It was the ashes of Liam’s parents!

No one could believe their eyes. Liam had brought the ashes of his deceased parents to the most luxurious engagement party in the city! He had placed his deceased parents ashes right on the table in front of the Hughes and other elite members of society!

How outrageous! He was outright trying to show the Stones up!

“This is atrocious! This is an engagement party, for God’s sake! He brought his parents’ ashes!”

“I’ve never seen anything like this! Liam’s family had already met their downfall seven years ago. Now, the Stones are the reigning power of the city, yet he takes no notice of them and outright disrespects them! He’s asking for it!”

“He’s not going to get out of this alive. He’s just an orphan who disappeared for a few years to learn martial arts. Do you honestly

they did all those years ago!”

Logan felt his throat clench. Although he had not participated directly in the Coles’ downfall, he had inadvertently gotten a piece of the cake. He could not help frowning and asked, “Mr. Lynch, what do you

mean? Are you saying that the Walkers…”

Malcolm gave him a mysterious smile and replied, “Do you honestly

know nothing? Do you remember the legendary Dr. Jensen who

graced our presence a few days ago?”

With that, Malcolm poured himself another glass of wine..

Chapter 59

Malcolm did not want to reveal too much, and that was the only hint he could give Logan.

Logan had known Malcolm for a few years now, so naturally, he understood exactly what Malcolm was trying to say. He

contemplated what he said for a moment, then was struck with realization. His eyes widened in disbelief as he turned to Malcolm Mr. Lynch, are you saying that Dr. Jensen came to Drunham City because of Liam?

“Mr. Abbott, you’re the head of your family, so I assume you’d know some things must not be said. Don’t give out information

unnecessarily! You wouldn’t want to end up like the Walkers.

Malcolm tried to remind him to play safe

Logan was already stunned by the connection he had made between Liam and Dr. Jensen’s arrivals in Dingham City Still, now that Malcolm mentioned it, he recalled the terrible fate that had befallen the Walkers just the day before. Everyone was beginning to make

sense now!

Logan was so shocked that he did not know how to react: When he turned to glance at Liam, his expression was now of fear and awe

Liam was the one who had destroyed the Walkers!

This man was so much more terrifying than he let on!

Yafe’s expression darkened when he saw the urns on the table. He turned to stare coldly at Liam He wanted nothing more than to skin Liam alive right that moment!

Liam was outright disrespecting him and the Stones!
