Chapter 802 Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place

“Do you admit to your crime, Jethro? You failed the mission to assassinate the King of Filren and used the heads of ordinary citizens to lie that you killed several of Filren’s senior officials! You deserve the death penalty for that!” Kelvin roared.

“Someone must be trying to set me up, Mr. Andrews! They’re trying to destroy our relationship. You have to believe me!” Jethro exclaimed. He didn’t expect his act to get exposed.

He was already in the doghouse with the Andrews family. If Kelvin found out that he had lied as well, he was done for.

Alas, Jethro regretted not fleeing from the start. At the very least, he could’ve stayed alive.

Nevertheless, he certainly wasn’t going to admit to his crime.

“Are you still trying to pretend you’re innocent? I have witnesses who can testify that they saw you killing innocent civilians!” Kelvin informed with a smile.

Jethro’s expression turned even darker.

“The next time you do something like this, Mr. Roman, you should remember not. to leave any witnesses. There were only about a hundred or so people in that village.

“Because you didn’t kill them all, they managed to come to Dhord City to report. you,” Kelvin said while shaking his head.

Upon hearing that, Jethro figured out the gist of the situation. However, he didn’t
