Perry was dead. He lay on the ground in front of Ted's grave, with blood pooling around

him.

Xena was overwhelmed with grief. With her parents gone, she had only Curtis to rely on, and she cherished every one of her relatives. Now, seeing Perry dead before her and with what looked like a suicide, the pain was unbearable for her. Yet, Jaden's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this scene. There was even a flicker of schadenfreude in his gaze.

"Uncle Perry, why did you have to take such drastic measures? I've been investigating Ted's death this whole time, but there's truly no evidence linking it to Felix."

Seeing her reaction, Jaden grew frustrated. This was their best chance to get rid of Felix.
