Governor Quill then wheeled on Tim Cox with a threatening glare. "Tell me the truth! Were you ordered to deceive me and slander Frank?! Speak!" "I-I..." Tim stammered, his whole body trembling under the pressure of Governor Quill despite being a martial artist himself.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He glanced awkwardly at Rex in the distance, and at this point, Governor Quill would not have missed a single detail.

Even if Tim never said a word, that tiny gesture told him right away that Rex was involved.

"Rex!" he bellowed as he held out a hand.

He projected his pure vigor, which quickly materialized into a giant hand that seized Rex right then, pulling him over. "Are you going to come clean, or should I torture it out of you?!"

Governor Quill's expression was cold and murderous, and Rex almost wet himself right then.

Even so, he clenched his teeth and shook his head repeatedly.

He could not confess to anything, or things would end terribly for him.

However, seeing that Rex refused to break even now, Governor Quill smirked.

The giant hand then tightened around Rex, leaving him screaming in pain.

"Stop! Stop!"

Seeing that her son would soon be crushed to death, Cara threw all caution to the wind as she begged on her knees, "Please, don't kill Rex! I confess it's all my fault! All mine! None of it has anything to do with Rex!"

As Governor Quill glowered at Cara who took the heat for Rex, Saul was cursing her under his breath for confessing to everything without a fight.

"Stupid bitch! Can't she see that the governor is obviously luring her to spill the beans?! Ugh..."

Saul then reared his head and sighed it was all over now.

Taking hostages—even killing some, stopping Frank from saving Megan, and then slandering Frank to chase him away...

With all those crimes piling up, the governor position was really beyond Saul's reach now.

No, forget becoming the governor-there was no telling if he might survive this.

"Father!"

Seeing that his wife had confessed, Gero Quill had no choice but to kneel before Governor Quill and beg.

Alba did the same, hanging his head as he did.

Since there was no point in hiding

anything now, Alba confessed

everything, from how they had

slandered Frank to how Rex had threatened Tim Cox and the other soldiers.

In fact, Governor Quill himself knew he had been deceived and had a hunch that Frank was innocent. He simply did not expect his own children to be that

shameless-especially Alba, wel

would betray the man who had

saved him and his daughter for his privilege.

"Alba, you animal!" Governor Quill growled. "And you still call yourself a man?!"

Alba was on his knees, afraid to even look up as he whimpered. "I'm sorry, Father... I'm sorry..."

"Dad... How could you do this?!" Megan was left shocked by her father's confession too.
