Rise of the White Dragon Chapter 298

Walking with the owner showing the way. Elias, Catharina, and the Elite Squad arrived at the scene.

It was neither very pretty nor ugly, it was just good. Made of wood, being wood from the tower, it was very strong and resistant, this house is over 100 years old, but it looked new, while the garden had a little tall grass, but it was easily fixed if they wanted.

"Here it is, and this is the contract, after signing, you can stay in the house." The man said.

Elias accepted and signed after reading the terms, it was all within the standards stated before, he read it carefully so as not to fall for any scams.

After that, he paid.

"Have a good time, hopefully, by tomorrow this mess has already been resolved." The man said before walking away.

As she walked into the house, both hands behind her head, Catharina muttered thoughtfully: "Who is brave enough to not only kill the daughter of the Patriarch of the City of Flowers but also kill other women." She lowered her voice: "And how can the Patriarch not be able to find the criminal when he has the power of an Emperor?"

Elias, beside her, muttered in response, "I think the other murders might not be so simple."

"What do you mean by that?" Like Catharina, the rest looked up to him.

"I've seen a case like this before; that was when Luan and I were in the third year of elementary school." Elias muttered: "Manager Richard's daughter was killed at a party, but shortly after she was killed, 4 other girls were killed as well. I was curious when I heard this news. But, the killer hasn't been caught, but."

"But?" Catharina arched her brow.

"But it was discovered years later that it was her sister who killed her for liking her boyfriend, and the boyfriend also like her, however, they had a marriage contract with a lot of benefit for the boyfriend's family, because of that, he didn't want to cancel the wedding... It was then that he and the sister, daughter of businessman Richard, planned everything. They first killed the sister, then pretended to be a serial killer, killing 3 other girls." Elijah had a deep expression. He was very young when he found out, that's also when he started to think how much people were willing to kill for so little.

If they loved each other so much, why not just stay together, even if he had to lose businessman Richard's investment? Or even try to talk to Richard and try to convince the two of them that they loved each other and wanted to be together?

"I heard about it too." Bruno Campos said and began to tell what he remembers.

In the end, the girl found out that her sister's boyfriend was a tremendous sadistic womanizer, in addition to being beaten up by her husband after getting married, she saw him cheating several times and when she wanted to break up, he threatened her in several ways, mainly to tell about her sister's murder.

Older, full of guilt and hatred, the girl went into deep depression and regret, entered the police station, and told everything that she and her husband did at that time.

Catharina put the pieces together and said, "Are you saying all this because you saw the Patriarch's daughter's supposed boyfriend and sister together?"

"Yes." Elias chuckled a little as he scratched his head: "Of course, I could be wrong, but they are similar cases, pretending to be a serial killer is more difficult to investigate, especially if the victims have no connection."

Ezekiel then said, "But it could still be a serial killer."

"Yes." Elijah didn't deny it.

"If it is, they are two traitors, the sister is even worse." Manuela's voice was very soft, but when everyone heard it, it sounded extremely harsh.

Manuela went through something similar, she was almost killed by her cousin because of a man. It happened when she was 17 years old, and dating a 19 year old boy, she didn't know that her cousin started not only liking her boyfriend but also seduced and managed to have sex with him. However, when confronted, she told Manuela to break up with him and even dared to hang her with both hands nearly strangling her to death.

Luckily, Bruno Campos saved her, and then Manuela cut off her relationship with her cousin Rafaela and ended up with her boyfriend saying she never wanted to see him again.

They had already entered the house, and as the house was clean, they went to the living room and realized that it was really big as the man had said. There were three large sofas they sat on while chatting about random subjects to pass the time.

What they didn't know was that the Patriarch who hid his presence and flew into the sky, was listening to everything they talked about before about a similar situation, his eyes narrowed as he became thoughtful.

'It can't be, right?' Deep down the Patriarch knew he had this possibility, however, he did not want the only daughter who was still alive to be guilty of the murder of his other daughter. They say that there is no favoritism for parents, but this is not always true, in his case, the Patriarch liked the daughter who was murdered better, because she was more intelligent, and behaved.

It was late at night, Ingrid got up while she was beside Luan.

Thirsty, she left the room without making a sound.

Suddenly, she hears a voice.

It came from one of the bedrooms.

Ingrid recognized the voice, it belonged to Nora.

"Luan, Luan, where are you?" Her voice was crying as she said this.

Ingrid, surprised, went to the door, her senses widening and she soon noticed that Nora had a more regular and slightly slower breathing rate than a person awake.

'Talking in your sleep?' Ingrid then thought of the long years that Nora had been looking for a way to be reunited with Luan. Was what she witnessed now one of the nightmares Nora had before?

Maybe she's been haunted by it for many years, even now that she knows he's back, maybe the fear still haunts her...

Ingrid sighed and went into the living room.

Opening the fridge, she grabbed some water, poured it into a glass, and drank it slowly.

Her thoughts were confused. She was sorry for what Nora was going through, but she wouldn't give up on Luan. She loved him so much and couldn't see herself living without him...
