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.

“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
