Chapter 112 Settling The Score Now

As Emrys spoke, he glared at Gerald.

Emrys had wanted to settle this score with the Chalkers during Tyson’s sixtieth birthday, but too many

things had happened lately. The Chalkers seemed to be eager to court death, so Emrys had no choice

but to bring his plan forward.

Gerald’s b*dy shook. “What is Sunshine Children’s Home to you?”

“I was a member of the orphanage fifteen years ago, and I nearly died in the fire. So, what do you think

the orphanage is to me?”

The color drained out of the Chalkers‘ faces when they heard that.

As it turned out, even without Angelina stirring up a mess, the frightening young man would have come

after the Chalker family too. It was just a matter of time.

What sins have we Chalkers committed?

With a look of terror, Gerald kneeled before Emrys and pleaded, “Mr. Lund, please have mercy on us! I

did set the fire, but this has nothing to do with the Chalker family. Please spare them!”

Gerald saw no point in trying to deny his deed.

After all, Emrys had to have secured evidence of the perpetrator’s identity if he said that. There were

no words Gerald could say to get himself out of the hot water.

Furthermore, Emrys was cunning. The young man definitely had ways to get the truth out of him. Lying

would only speed up his death. In contrast, honesty might earn him the chance to save the other

Chalkers.

“Is that all?” Emrys frowned.

Osmond once said that the land at North River District was more than enough for the Chalker family–

that there was no need for them to come to South River District to set the fire.

Hence, there had to be more to the fire.

Gerald’s b*dy shuddered again when he heard Emrys‘ question.

Hah! So there really is more to the fire.

As Emrys‘ gaze turned glacial, a murderous look crept onto his face. He snapped, “If you don’t want the

Chalker family to be obliterated, then spill everything you know about what happened fifteen years ago

right now.”

“Have mercy on us, Mr. Lund!” Gerald slammed his head onto the ground as he prostrated before

Emrys. In a shaky voice, he went on, “Yes, I was the one who set the fire fifteen years ago, but it

wasn’t my plan. Someone else… told me to do it.”

“I knew there was something fishy about this. Who’s the one behind you? Spit it out!” Emrys roared.

Gerald was as pale as a sheet, but he shook his head and said, “I don’t know…”

Livid, Emrys kicked Gerald’s head. “I can’t believe you’re trying to cover for the mastermind even

though the grim reaper is right by your side! It looks like you don’t care about the Chalkers at all.”

The force of Emrys‘ kick made Gerald roll on the ground, but still, he cried out desperately, “Please

don’t be mad, Mr. Lund! I don’t mean to cover for them; I really don’t know who they are!”

Bam!

Emrys kicked Gerald’s b*dy this time, the murderous intent in his eyes intensifying. “How dare you try

to fool me? How can you not know who they are? Why did you help them burn the orphanage? Do you

think I’ll drop the case so easily?”

“It’s not that, Mr. Lund. It’s because… It’s because they’re a martial artist too. I wouldn’t dare to go

against them.”

Another martial artist?

Emrys froze.

All of a sudden, a vague memory in Emrys‘ mind abruptly became clearer.

He finally remembered what happened.

Back then, he had a chance to escape from the fire, but as if trapped by a mysterious force, he was

rooted to his spot.

Yes, that was what happened.

The more he remembered, the surer Emrys became about how he was the target of the fire.

But it’s odd. If someone wants to kill me, why don’t they just do it directly? Why go through the trouble

of setting the orphanage on fire instead? Moreover, why did I forget about this until today?

Emrys mulled over the questions for a long time. He did not know the answer to the first or second one,

but he could deduce the answer to the third question.
