Chapter 969 Wynter’s Scheme to Sow Discord was Successful
Wynter thought to herself that that was exactly what she was doing. She was indeed making a veiled accusation, but she pretended to be surprised.
“Great uncle was adopted? I’ve never heard Grandpa mention that! Grandpa doesn’t treat him like an adopted brother at all.”
“Mr. Quinnell Senior has always valued brotherhood deeply,” Liam responded instinctively. It was only after finishing his sentence that he realized he had complimented Fabian.
“Moreover, there’s a backstory to their bond. It was Mr. Quinnell who stood up and saved Mr. Quinnell Senior when the Quinnells were facing a crisis.”
Wynter was very skeptical about the backstory. She couldn’t believe that Declan would risk his life for anyone. After all, he had used the Quinnells to siphon off Earth’s energy to benefit Foplya. There had to be an underlying motive.
Her current curiosity stemmed from why Declan could gain the protection of the Quinnells‘ ancestors if he wasn’t a true Quinnell. Something had to be wrong with this mansion. The problem didn’t seem to be the mansion itself, so something must have caused it.
Wynter tapped her fingers on the table. It was a habit she had when thinking.
Meanwhile, in the back garden, Tyler couldn’t suppress his fury no matter how hard he tried to lower his voice.
“You idiot! A dozen of us were wiped out by a single person, and you’re telling me that you still don’t know their identity?”
The wounded cultivator struggled to breathe steadily, “That person appeared too quickly. We didn’t even get the chance to react.
“I was in charge of the perimeters so I was far away and managed to cape. The others… The cultivator

Tyler grabbed the cultivator’s collar tightly. “By who?”
The cultivator shook his head. Tyler’s frustration deepened when he realized that he couldn’t get any useful information from the man.

tried to salvage his dignity. “Capturing a Savior isn’t an easy task.”
“Tyler Shaw, I’m not deaf.” Declan was still rattled by the things Wynter had said earlier. “There’s a risk of being exposed now that your men have been captured!
“I’ve warned you countless times not to mess with things you shouldn’t in Cascadia. Did you listen? Not only was the Savior not captured, but your men were also sent to prison!
“Do you think the associated authorities are stupid? It’s only a matter of time before they figure out you’re

Declan was genuinely anxious. He needed to secure a backup plan for himself. Whether it involved the stupidly naive girl in the front yard or the elaborate scheme he had spent years on with Albert, it was still better than the risks he had to take now.
“Tyler, take your men and leave my place immediately,” Declan lowered his eyes and demanded with at firm and authoritative tone.
Tyler narrowed his eyes like a venomous snake and threatened, “Are you sure about this, Mr. Quinnell Senior? Are you defying the master’s order?”
“I’ll talk to the master myself.” Declan took a glance at Tyler. “This will be the last time we contact each other. Do you think the master would be pleased if we got exposed because of you? Besides, why is he the only one who escaped?”
Declan had always been suspicious and skeptical. “Are you sure he is capable? Are you sure no one had followed him?” The mere possibility of it made him want to check the surveillance footage immediately.
“Mr. Quinnell Senior, I took a roundabout route to get here! I came here to relay the message! I’m certain no one followed me!” The wounded cultivator didn’t think his current appearance would draw any
attention.
