“No. This person is absolutely cunning. I set up a trap to lure him to appear, but little did I know he created a false identity and sent a substitute to meet me. In the end, his fake guy took his place in death.”

Apart from the sounds made by the humidifier and a soft, occasional hum by Benedict, the room was exceptionally quiet.

“So you secretly issued an arrest warrant to catch this crafty fellow.”

Charles could imagine how tense the situation was.

Cedrick sneered. His piercing gaze and overpowering aura could easily send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Charles nodded.
