Chapter 510 The Primary Suspect



Despite their seemingly symbiotic relationship in the eyes of the rest of the world, neither the Nightingale Clan nor the leaders of the Gray Wolfe Corporation were actually satisfied with the status quo.

After all, with their constantly declining independence, the Nightingale clan knew very well that if things kept going in the direction they were currently headed in… it was only a matter of time before even their clan\'s illustrious name would forever vanish from this world.

What would be left behind would just be a bunch of nameless, loyal dogs, with their only purpose being to further the goals and agenda of their \'masters\'.

Of course, as the leader of the Gray Wolfe Corporation, Alexander\'s father also sensed the desire that his \'slaves\' had of getting out of his control, and he wasn\'t very pleased, to say the least.

That being said, neither Alexander\'s father nor the current clan leader of the Nightingales expected things to turn out as they had.

After all, even if they had the thought of rebelling, the Nightingale clan was far from being prepared to pull off such a move at the moment.

If they really forced it, not only would it undo all the progress they\'d made in the past few decades, but it might even directly get them wiped out!

Regardless of his past contributions, the Nightingale clan\'s leader couldn\'t help but hate the old snake in his heart. \'Just a while more and we could have continued gathering enough strength to break free from the Gray Wolfe\'s control, but no! That ungrateful idiot!\'

As for Alexander\'s father, well, his disbelief and rage were also only to be expected. After all, the most he expected his \'rebellious slaves\' to be able to pull off was for them to attempt to run away to either hide in the shadows or seek shelter with some other master.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that one day they would have the courage to actually deal him such a fatal wound.

And to add insult to injury, they even seemed to believe that such an obvious flaw wouldn\'t be discovered!

Feeling like his heart might explode from all the accumulating rage and fury, Alexander\'s father finally couldn\'t help but lunge forward and grab the throat of the \'rebellious slave\' with a hideous snarl on his face. "Even if you rats wanted to run away, how dare you touch my son?! Did you truly believe, even for a second, that I would let any of you go alive now?!"

The clan leader\'s complexion alternated between purple and red, though it was more out of shame and anger than due to the constriction at his throat.

After all, while the current clan leader was far from being the most durable of the Nightingales, Alexander\'s father was far from being strong enough to be able to strangle him to death.

Even if it was \'harmless\', however, the humiliation that he felt at the moment was almost enough to completely overwhelm his reason.

Just as things were about to get worse, however, a young man came rushing in while breaking the door open, both panic and elation almost dripping from his face.

"Y-Young master\'s murderer has been found!"

Although the Old Snake was one of the \'key suspects\' behind Alexander\'s murder thanks to both his position and ability, this was only what the Gray Wolfe and the Nightingale Clan suspected.

Naturally, they wouldn\'t share such a thing with the rest of the world, let alone the detectives investigating Alexander\'s case under the control of Phoenix.

It was due to their belief that they knew more than anyone else, however, that they ended up completely overlooking other possibilities, and were left utterly dumbfounded when they finally got wind of the news.

\'Fortunately\' for them, they weren\'t alone in their predicament, and Alexander\'s father cared more about avenging his son than he did about being the first to discover the truth.

At first, even the detectives of Phoenix believed that they were in for an excruciatingly long and complex investigation. Never did they expect, however, that the first critical clue would be found almost as soon as they began!

And the one to unravel the mystery was none other than the person who had been the closest to Alexander before the incident… his \'girlfriend\'.

The girl had been quite traumatized by her boyfriend\'s death at first, but the moment she managed to gather enough courage to open her mouth, her words ended up shocking the investigators to their very core.

"Alexander Gray received a death threat right before his murder?!"

"It was by none other than Amos Black!"

Of course, as Bellatrix was both confident in their innocence and eager to prove it to the rest of the world, most of the details of their investigation were constantly being shared with the international media.

The shocking news of the Black Tiger Corporation\'s heir, Amos Black being the new primary suspect and Alexander\'s \'girlfriend\' revealing his chilling threat soon started making rounds, immediately causing a sensation all over the world.

Naturally, it didn\'t take long for many people to dig out and pick apart all the footage that covered the various disputes between the two men from the Golden Crown.

Although Amos looked remarkably calm and derisive of his opponent in most clips, his animosity for Alexander was still clear at a glance.

Moreover, in light of the new \'revelations\', these minor disputes were about as good as incriminating evidence in the eyes of most people.

Unlike the easily swayed masses, however, the official statements from the government of Phoenix remained more \'conservative\' and cautious. "Miss Rhea claims that she had only started dating Mr. Alexander shortly before the incident, and she had been locked inside the bedroom at the time of the incident. The surveillance on the ship confirms this."

Of course, the critical cameras that could have recorded the actual \'incident\' were conveniently out of service at that time.

Their spokesperson continued. "At the moment, we do not have any reason to believe that Mr. Amos Black was actually involved in the tragedy of that night. However, we would still request him to return as soon as possible and cooperate with the investigation so the actual culprit can be found earlier."

Obviously, since the prime minister of Phoenix didn\'t want to admit that the \'incident\' was in any way their responsibility, none of the guests at the Golden Crown had been prohibited from leaving the country if they wished to do so.

And just like many other high-profile guests, Amos Black had left for Oriana on the same day as the incident came to light, before he even knew of Alexander\'s death.

Unfortunately for him, this only made everyone much more suspicious, and some even directly took him \'fleeing\' so quickly as confirmation of his guilt.

Within minutes, every external relationship manager at the Black Tiger found themselves absolutely swamped with both angry and curious calls from all over the world, many directly demanding to talk to Amos.

The silver-haired boy was naturally furious when he heard about all the abuse and insults being hurled his way for \'no reason\', especially after learning about the cause. "That fucking moron got killed, and they\'re blaming me?!"
