260. The Fate of the Traitor

[Chapter Nine: The Fate of the Traitor]

[Maid Aileen entered the room to serve Sara, while servants stood waiting in the corridor, whispering about the servant David, who had hastily fled the previous night. The Viscount was furious about the incident. Fortunately, the servant had not taken anything from the estate.]

Lu Li and the others listened quietly as The Shadow of Puppetry orchestrated David's fate.

At 5:40 a.m., the body of David Alexander was discovered on the beach, with a fatal wound at the back of his neck. After being washed by a day's rain, the wound had turned into a gruesome, gaping gash. Only when the police from Agate Lake District came knocking, inquiring about David, did everyone learn of his demise because he had died wearing the uniform of a servant from Baron Joseph's Manor.

And when the night watchman came to inquire in place of the police station, they hired at great cost a retired night watchman who had survived The Shadow of Puppetry ritual.
