The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 371

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.

Still crying, Xena looked at Jaden, feeling confused, "What do you mean?"

"When I arrived, he was still alive! He only told me that he was sure that Felix was responsible for his son's death, though he had no proof. Maybe, as a father, he found it unbearable to go on without avenging his son's murder." Xena felt guilty. She looked down at Perry's lifeless body.

"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.
