Chapter 72

sighing heavily "I can't get off my mind, Carl, seeing them, all lying dead that day" the remembrance of the scene made him feel sick.

Carl's heart was moved in deep sorrow, Philip turned to him and smiled sorely "enough of me friend! how have you been? I heard Bill made a fortune out of the Lakeside deal!" he said, with an ambiguous tone.

A man stood as two men in black opened the door and carried out the dead body lying numb on the floor.

He brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned his fingers attentively, just then, a young man strode in, maintaining a look at him.
