Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 545: Chapter 348 Murder_1

Ernest Nango clasped his fists tightly, unwilling to accept his empty existence, abandoned due to his loss of cultivation ability and left to endure all things alone, even if his father was the Family Head, it was to no avail.

As everyone dispersed, the Nango Family Master patted Ernest Nango on the shoulder, “No need to fear, with your father around, we can certainly protect you.”

Ernest Nango nodded and left on his own. After returning to his room, Jake Wexler’s words still echoed hauntingly in his ears. If he confesses the truth, will it really wash away his sins? Would the Lord genuinely use his power to help him recover his cultivation?

The members of his family left him heartbroken. As soon as his cultivation was abandoned, they wanted to cast him aside. Had they forgotten all past relationship and favors? Normally, they treated him with respect, thinking back now, it’s ridiculously laughable, perhaps this is their true nature.

Ernest Nango knew clearly that if he confessed to killing Abel Scarlet, he suspects the whole Nango family will suffer. However, for the sake of that one-in-ten-thousand chance to recover his cultivation, he resolved to risk his life.

If he forever remained cripple, he might as well end his own life. But once the Lord helps him restore his cultivation, even if the Nango Family ceases to exist, with his throne level cultivation, he could wander freely under the heavens.

Moreover, as the Nango Family had always been loyal to the Lord, also serving as one of his trusted confidants, at best, the Lord would find a few people to punish, but he would definitely not kill his own father. Otherwise, the Lord’s power would be reduced by one-fifth.

Having thought through everything, Ernest Nango decided to look for Jake Wexler. Due to his fear of his son doing something foolish, the Family Master of the Nango Family secretly followed his son. Unconsciously, he followed him to the Lord’s Manor.

This totally confused the Nango Family Master. What did his son come to the Lord’s Manor to do? Was he planning to seek revenge on the Lord or Logan? Thinking of this made him gasp. Logan and the Lord were the last people Ernest Nango could afford to offend.

So he appeared immediately, blocking Ernest Nango’s path: “Don’t do anything foolish. Regardless of the situation, we can always plan for a long-term solution, right? Don’t forget that your father only has child in this entire world. There are many miracles in the world, and there are not a few people who have restarted cultivation after losing it.”

“Father, I want to confess something.” Ernest Nango hesitated for a moment before speaking. “In fact, the missing Abel Scarlet was indeed killed by me. That day, I just wanted to take his Spirit Stone away, but it got out of hand when I was discovered, and I even destroyed his body.”

Upon hearing this, the Nango Family Master gasped. Earlier, when Logan suspected Ernest Nango, the Family Master argued with Logan, thinking Logan’s suspicion was utterly absurd. But now, listening to his son confess, he was stunned, as he never imagined his son would create such a disaster. It was not merely about killing one person, it even triggered a war between two Lords.

Once the war breaks out, it will become a matter of life and death for millions of people. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond, hoping this was simply a joke. However, from his son’s serious eyes, he knew it was true. Abel Scarlet was indeed dead at Ernest Nango’s hands.

The Nango Family Master took a deep breath and instructed, “This matter must be kept to yourself, and you can’t reveal it to anyone, understand? Otherwise, not only will you be doomed, but the entire Nango family will also face revenge.”

“Abel Scarlet’s body has been completely destroyed. Nobody can find out the truth.” Ernest Nango nodded. Even his ashes were not left behind, which is why the Lord had found nothing after several days of investigation, without even having one suspect.

“Why have you come to the Lord’s Manor at this time?” The Nango Family Master asked again. Ernest Nango, who had lost his cultivation, suddenly appeared in the Lord’s Manor. Apart from seeking revenge, he couldn’t think of anything else. However, he hoped his son could face reality.

“Jake Wexler came to see me, and the Lord also suspected me. He even discussed a cooperation with me if I confess everything. He promised he could help me regain my cultivation. Whether it’s true or false, I want to give it a try.”

Ernest Nango’s eyes were firm, as he said word by word, “I know the truth is mixed with loes and it’s highly likely that I will be doomed. But at this moment, I am already a cripple. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, be it climbing a mountain of daggers or plunging into a sea of flames, I am prepared.”

“Don’t do anything foolish. Jake Wexler is always good at deceiving people. You have lost your Dantian and roots, even a Sanctuary Powerhouse can’t help you, let alone the quasi-saint Lord. Moreover, doing so will cause the whole Nango Family to be destroyed.”

The Nango Family Master’s brow furrowed. Ernest Nango was usually savvy, so why was he so confused about this issue? Since no one knew that Abel Scarlet had been killed, the matter should have been buried deep in their hearts. Publicly confessing was sheerly seeking death.

He didn’t believe that Jake Wexler was genuinely kind-hearted, merely trying to deceive Ernest Nango. It was possible that he had become suspicious of him after hearing Logan’s joke, prematurely left the meeting, and tricked Ernest Nango into making a confession.

Ernest Nango had initially managed to keep the secret, so why would he rush into danger now? The Nango Family Master felt it was necessary to help Ernest Nango understand the reality. Why would he rather trust a stranger than his own father? Would he, as a father, harm his own child?
