Mr. Sam has requested your presence. Apparently, Mr. Sam’s brother-in-law has been assassinated. Mr. Sam must want you to take a look at this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Who is that person?\" Carrick asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is the CEO of Sriscester Group. Combined with Mr. Sam, they’ve contributed about 10% of the family’s distribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\" Carrick nodded. He only knew about his uncle-in-law, not whoever he was working with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had five wives himself. His second wife became the main wife after giving birth to Tesron solely because she gave birth to a child with a unique ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was quite fair to the other wives as well. He gave them a portion of the business, allowing their families to prosper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that one of them had died, it was only right for Carrick to pay them a visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, isn’t this weird? Why would he get assassinated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to Mr. Sam, the Sriscester Group is supposed to take over a company to grow further. It has reached the final phase, so it may be an assassin sent by the opposition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick fell silent. It wasn’t entirely weird for the other party to send an assassin. If they pushed the enemy into a corner, they might as well sell everything they had left to hire a good assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the other party should know that he was the backer of this company. If they touched him, they should be prepared to be crushed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick thought for a moment before asking, \"How about the assassin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We couldn’t find any clues. According to the investigation, there were no traces of a struggle. The secretary was supposed to hear her boss laughing after getting the acquisition deal, but the next thing she realized, her boss had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be a very good assassin. There was no trace of escape, so the assassin was either someone hiding as a company staff or someone with extraordinary skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weapon?\" Carrick frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most likely a dagger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick looked down, falling into deep thought. \"Okay. I’ll take a look at this matter. Where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Sam is with your wife right now in Villa No. 2.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. Start the car first. I’ll leave after I’m done with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" The butler bowed before taking his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick looked at the ceiling, pondering. The assassination felt a bit off, but there wasn’t much he could say. The first suspect was definitely the group that had just been crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, he should investigate the matter first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came out ten minutes later, and the butler immediately drove him to the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His third wife and her brother came to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His third wife simply lowered her head to greet him, while her brother immediately went to his knees while crying, \"Brother-in-law, you need to give me justice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I’ll ask my men to investigate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be those treacherous people. They don’t like the fact that they lose and want us to suffer. You should catch them and kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick nodded. \"I know, so calm down for now. Please accept my condolences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped while biting his lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick turned to his wife, who could only look away. \"Where are Ran and Lovens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ran is at his school. Lovens should be hanging out with his friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the club again? Does he not come home when his family is like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife could only lower her head, unable to make an excuse. It was as if she had been enduring things like this all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick could only let out a sigh before saying, \"Bring both of them back for now. I will go there personally to check the assassination and pay my respects to the deceased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes. Thank you very much, brother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick’s eyebrows twitched, looking at this shameless man. He could only sigh inwardly. There were simply too many problems in his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished that one of his children would be as brilliant as Clovis. Tesron had a unique ability, but he was too arrogant. He even lost to Clovis when he was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tesron could only beat someone weaker than him, not stronger. In the end, Tesron became a disappointment in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Tesron was still the most brilliant son he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it wasn’t enough compared to Clovis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Melesviet family and the Hacfield family were mortal enemies. If Clovis were more brilliant than Tesron, Clovis would definitely suppress Tesron and the Melesviet family in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, Clovis managed to get the only daughter of the Elseingarde family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both top-tier families joining forces, their influence would become massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard that Clovis even had a vacation on the Elseingarde family’s property. It was clear that the relationship between the two was amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he even brought other families showed the harmonious relationship that the Elseingarde family possessed with other in-laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a solid relationship, it would be hard for the Melesviet family to shake the Hacfield family in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why looking at his family could only give him a headache all this time. He had been taking a jab at the Hacfield family with his words in the media, but that did little to no damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, he had to handle this kind of problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Clovis’ soon-to-be wives were all excellent. He had someone good at managing logistics, a daughter of a top-tier family, a world class doctor, a business magnate... Even the operator was rumored to be capable of becoming the brain of the Libation Fiesta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his wives, they were far more brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrick could only walk to another room in this villa to calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of things to do, and he had to do another thing. Nevertheless, he couldn’t escape this responsibility. After all, her family also helped him manage 10% of the Melesviet family’s business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I should go there in two days...\" Carrick sighed, looking at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-06T13:32:45.207Z",1,"novelbin.me","f095bb98b8d3a78be25161287576db4732d25bcd7ad767d646b870d6b46bf88e","another-world-mall-chapter-1028","another-world-mall-chapter-1026",1047,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fanother-world-mall-cover.jpg"]
