Chapter 1545

    Wilbur said calmly, "I am. What''s the matter?"


    Pembroke''s gaze fell on Wilbur, sizing him up before he said coldly, "What''s the matter? Don''t you know what you''ve done?"


    "I really don''t," Wilbur said.


    Pembroke''s expression darkened. After that, he shouted, "Someone reported that you killed a person named Chad Gelding here. After that, you injured Chandler Fornst, Sawyer Rocher, and over a dozen other members of the Rocher family, causing their deaths after they returned home. Is this true?"


    While Pembroke was questioning Wilbur, the gun muzzles of more than a dozen special agents were also pointed at him.


    Everyone''s faces turned incredibly ugly.


    Even if they were all big shots in Hemount City, none of them would dare to challenge the state.


    It was not because the other party had guns, but because they had the backing of the country. Challenging them meant challenging the dignity of the nation.


    Even if you were a powerful cultivator, you had to bow down in the face of the nation.


    The country had weapons capable of killing any cultivator, and there were organizations specifically targeting cultivators. Provoking the country meant death.


    The crowd could not help but worry for Wilbur.


    Seamus had an incredibly powerful background in Hemount City, else he would not have dominated the city for so many years.


    The sudden arrival of the special agents was almost without a doubt rted to him.


    Even though Seamus was dead, the special agents could not be underestimated. They might even be more dangerous.


    If they wanted to take Wilbur, it would seem that no one would be able to stop them.


    However, at that moment, Wilbur smiled faintly and said, "Someone reported that? Who did it?"


    Among the cultivators, there was an unwritten rule that they would never allow the intervention of the authorities no matter what happened. They were meant to solve their problems based on their own strength.


    The cultivation circles had their rules.


    When he heard that, Pembroke sneered, "We keep the identities of all informants confidential. You''re in no ce to ask the questions here. Now,e with us for an investigation. Everyone else will be questioned as well."


    The crowd frowned. This implicated all of them. Could it be that someone behind Seamus was trying to protect the Rocher family?


    Meanwhile, at the Rocher family''s manor, Landhor Lorne sat upright on the sofa in the hall.


    Standing in front of him were a dozen or so people and all of them were distant rtives of the Rocher family.


    They were all that was left of the Rocher family.


    These people all looked anxious. The Rocher family had just experienced a major change. Other than Seamus, all of the main family had died.


    There were rumors going around that Seamus had gone insane. He had killed Honey in this hall before going alone to the Nees family, intending to annihte them.


    As soon as Seamus left, Landhor arrived, summoning all of them over. At that moment, they were all incredibly nervous as they wondered what would happen next.


    Landhor was one of the top three figures in terms of power within Hemount City, and he had a close rtionship with the Rocher family.


    Putting it bluntly, Landhor was the Rocher family''s backer. This was not a secret within the family at all, and it was even an open secret outside.


    Landor''s gaze swept coldly over those people, making them shiver.


    "Monty Rocher, now that Seamus is gone, you seem to be the oldest and closest to the main branch of the family, right?" Landhor said coldly.
