CHAPTER 881: CHAPTER 881: EXPOSING THE MASTERMIND

Adrian Lancaster didn’t call a stop, and the punches and kicks wouldn’t end; in fact, they only got more brutal.

He didn’t aim for lethal spots, pinning them to the ground, his fist swinging onto their cheeks, making them suffer terribly, crying out in agony.

Adrian Lancaster felt no sympathy; even if he took their lives, it wouldn’t quench his rage!

The scene of Faye being thrown into the river flashed before Adrian Lancaster’s eyes once more, and his bloodthirsty gaze instantly ignited with flames again!

His sanity, with each passing second, began to crumble once more.

Finally, ten minutes later—

As he strode towards them, his men released their grips, panting, their fists red, and elbows sore.

His men got up and stepped back, keeping a close eye on the beaten men lying on the ground, ensuring they couldn’t escape.

Adrian Lancaster walked over step by step, seeing their bruised and swollen faces, some unable to open their eyes, blood at the corners of their mouths.

Their gaze followed his polished shoes, up his straight pant legs, and they saw Adrian Lancaster towering above them, his presence terrifyingly cold.

As he slowly squatted down, he lifted a large hand to grasp one man’s throat, suppressing the sorrow and anger in his chest—

"First, answer my first question, the woman caught on camera thrown into the river that night, is she my wife?"

If they were captured, it meant he had found the footage, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent so many people to drag the river.

Now, whether they answer or not, they know they’re dead.

The three villains seemed to reach a consensus, their lips sealed, refusing to speak.

"Speak!" Adrian Lancaster roared, his grip tightened, the man grunted in pain, his neck almost about to snap.

His eyes were bloodshot, almost roaring—

"Answer me! The woman you threw into the river, is she my wife?! I saw the surveillance! Answer me!!"

The man’s face turned red from being choked, veins bulged on his forehead, as if he would suffocate any second.

He wanted to cough but couldn’t, as Adrian’s grip cut off his breath, rendering him unable to respond, instinctively struggling to tug at Adrian Lancaster’s hand on his throat, finding he couldn’t muster any strength.

His companion, seeing he would be strangled to death, despite being seriously injured and terrified, trembled and answered, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Adrian Lancaster abruptly turned his gaze, looking coldly at him!

Releasing his grip, he then grabbed the neck of the man who had just answered—

"Speak! Who is the mastermind?!"

The man just freed clutched his neck, coughing violently, while his companion nearly faced strangulation.

Adrian Lancaster couldn’t comprehend who would be so heartless, not after money, but directly seeking his wife’s life!

"Cough..." The man grabbed Adrian’s wrist with both hands but found it futile, he was close to being strangled, struggling.

The man who had been choked came to his senses, quickly responding, "It’s Melanie Lancaster! It’s your aunt Melanie Lancaster!"

The name instantly triggered Adrian Lancaster’s nerves!

He loosened his grip, causing the other to cough heavily, collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

Then, he turned his harsh gaze to another man who hadn’t yet been choked—

"You say, how can she orchestrate this when she’s in prison?"

Indeed, with a sliver of calm, he made his judgment, perhaps this was all a diversion?

Sensing Adrian Lancaster’s frenzied aura, the other, even severely injured, braved a response, trembling—

"We took this job before she went to prison, she paid us a sum, then..."
