CHAPTER 148 CECILIA COLLAPSED. BERNARDO MASON’S VICIOUSNESS
Cecilia Moore!
Zackary Campbell was stunned. Of course, he knew Sean was engaged to Cecilia in Hilshire after he
got out of prison. Before, when the Moore Group changed its owner, Charles Campbell came to him.
He sent people to warn the Rodriguez family and sent Lilith Carter and others to Hilshire to assist
Cecilia in taking over the Moore Group.
He just didn’t expect Cecilia to find his contact information.
It seemed that she was also desperate.
“Hello, Miss Moore.”
Zackary Campbell took a few steps back, stepped aside, and spoke as quietly as he could, “It’s me. I
assume you called on such short notice to ask about Sean, right?”
“Yes!”
Cecilia nodded and said, “Is he…”
“Is he all right now? Is he with you? Were the wounds on his body serious?”
“I…”
“May I speak to him?”
Subconsciously, Cecilia did not dare to think about Sean’s death. So, all the questions she asked were
based on the premise that Sean was still alive.
Zackary Campbell thought for a moment and looked at the body that was fished out of the Kats River
by the master of the Campbell family. His tone was very solemn, “Miss Moore, I want you to be
prepared.”
“What?”
Cecilia asked with a sudden quiver in her voice, “Mr. Campbell, what…”
“What do you mean?”
Cecilia was different from Gemma. Gemma and Dean were too old to withstand blows. Therefore,
Zackary Campbell had to tell them the good part and let them relax as much as possible.
But Cecilia…
She was still young, and Zackary Campbell felt no need to hide the truth about Sean for her.
So, Zackary Campbell said quietly, “Sean was being hunted by eight of his peers, and the battle is over.
The odds of his survival were almost zero...”
“We just found Sean’s weapon at the bottom of the Kats River, and we’re trying to find the body.”
Boom!
Zackary Campbell’s words hit Cecilia over the head like a bolt from the blue, via a mobile phone, over
an endless distance. For a moment, Cecilia froze there. Her face turnedpale, tears streaming down her
face.
Her hand shook and the phone flopped to her feet.
He was…
Dead?
Out of countless possibilities, this was the one Cecilia dared not to think about, was the one she did not
want to face, and was also the cruelest one. However, it was the highest probability, high enough to
make people despair!
What should I do if you were dead?
What about Phyllis?
You promised me that you would come back alive, that you would come back and marry me, that you
would make me your bride, that you would be Phyllis’s biological father. Did you forget your own words
and promises so quickly?
Liar!
You big liar!
Cecilia crouched on the ground, her hands clasped tightly around her legs, her forehead resting on her
knees, her body shaking violently. It was as if her normally strong and fearless heart had suddenly
broken.
She grinded her teeth and cried!
But she was afraid to cry for fear that Marcia, Matthew Moore, and Phyllis would hear her next door.
In two minutes.
When Cecilia looked up, her eyes were swollen and her face was full of tears. Her pants near her
knees were wet with tears. She took a deep breath, reached out to wipe the tears away, and picked up
her phone.
Zackary Campbell was still on the line...
“Miss Moore, I’m sorry…”
Zackary Campbell said, “It’s a long shot, but until we find Sean’s body, he still has a chance, right?”
“We’ve pulled two bodies out of the Kats River.”
“And neither of them was Sean.”
“There is still hope until we see his body!”
“Yes!”
Cecilia nodded heavily and said, “Would you hold the line, please? I’d like to know what’s going on over
there, okay?”
“Sure.”
Zackary Campbell said, “Don’t worry. I’ll let you know as soon as I get anything.”
“Thank you!”
Cecilia was alone in the bathroom, waiting and praying silently...
…
For many, today was destined to be a sleepless night!
In the Capital City! The Mason family!
Sean had been off the air for over half an hour. Bell had been calling incessant, asking questions about
the battle. However, after several calls, he failed to reach the two septuagenarians who had been sent
to the Crane Town to kill Sean.
All he knew was that eight Masters of Complete Stage in Dark Energy, including the Porter family’s,
hunted Sean and left the Hanging Bridge area. Where they went, or what happened, was unknown.
Until, ten minutes later! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Mr. Mason!”
Bell looked terrible and he said quietly, “Word came from there that Sean went all the way east along
the Kats River, escaped ten miles, and was chased down and strangled by York Rodriguez and others.”
“As for the result…”
“Zackary Campbell and his men are pulling bodies from there. Among the three bodies recovered so
far are York Rodriguez, the gray-haired old man with the two-meter iron bar, and...”
After a pause, Bell gritted his teeth and said, “And a predecessor of our Mason family!”
Bang!
For a moment Bernardo Mason’s face was cold and there was a look of shock in his eyes. Standing up,
he asked, “So you’re saying that Sean was prepared, that he led people there, and that he, with help,
had set up an ambush there?”
That was Bernardo Mason’s first reaction!
If there was no helper, no ambush, with Sean alone, and he was seriously wounded, how could he kill
three of them under the siege of eight masters?
“It’s…”
Bell shook his head and said, “I’m not sure.”
“What about Sean?”
Bernardo Mason asked, “Is he dead?”
That was Bernardo Mason’s main concern. If Sean was killed, it didn’t matter even if they lost a Master
of Complete Stage in Dark Energy But if Sean were alive, the consequences would be terrible!
“He was probably dead…”
Bell, not daring to assert himself too firmly, replied quietly, “In that case, even if Sean had help, he
would not have been able to overcome the siege of the eight Masters of Complete stage in Dark
Energy.”
“Also, Zackary Campbell’s men have found Sean’s blade from the bottom of the Kats River, but they
haven’t found Sean’s body yet.”
Bernardo Mason’s face brightened.
Of course, he knew the importance of what weapon meant for a warrior. Now that the sword was gone,
could Sean still escape with his bare hands?
“Keep watching!”
But there was no room for carelessness in such matters. Bernardo Mason could not be at ease until he
saw Sean’s body. “Make sure you keep an eye on him!”
“If Zackary Campbell finds Sean’s body, send someone to the Crane Town, destroy the Campbell
family, and bring me back the body!”
Once they knew that Sean was dead, the next thing Bernardo Mason needed to do was to wipe out all
of Sean’s contacts that he had previously identified!
The Campbell Family of the Crane Town couldn’t stay!
