Chapter 704: Refusing To Admit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Some people who had seen Dallas immediately exclaimed, “That’s indeed Dallas Watson’s corpse!”

“I didn’t expect that Dallas is really dead!”

“The red Maserati indeed belongs to Nate. It’s his license plate. Based on the background, it should be in the Walkers’ villa!”

“Oh my God. They all say that Dallas is Nate’s top lackey and extremely obedient to him. I can’t believe that Nate really killed him.”

“Hey, I heard that the Watsons have always been respectful to the Walkers, but I never thought that such a thing would happen. He actually killed Reynold Watson’s only son and even denied it. He’s gone overboard!”

“I think we have to be careful in our cooperation with the Walkers! If we encounter this kind of thing one day, we’ll end up really miserable!”

“Yeah, who do the Walkers think they are? Do they take us cooperative partners as slaves they can easily bully?”

At first, many people were shocked that Dallas had really died in Nate’s hands. But soon, the topic of the conversation turned to the Walkers’ cruelty and viciousness toward their partner, whom they had kicked to the curb after they’d outlived their usefulness.

Lucas smiled faintly. No one knew that a few key people taking the lead to influence the others were arranged to do so by him.

Reynold said with anger and misery, “Has everyone seen clearly? My son was killed by Nate Walker, and he even ordered his corpse to be destroyed! The Walkers must give me an explanation for this!”

Although he was now worth hundreds of millions, his only son was dead. Regardless of how high his status was and how wealthy he was, it no longer mattered!

Thus, he could go all out and resolutely seek justice from the Walkers without any fear.

Edmund sneered and said sarcastically, “Herman Walker, what’s the problem with your family?! I remember that the Watsons have always had a very good relationship with the Walkers, and your families have always been allies. But it doesn’t seem right for you to condone your grandson killing the son of an ally, does it?”

Damon said mockingly, “Maybe the Walkers have a new target and no longer need the Watsons’ help. That’s why they disregarded the life of someone else’s son!”

“Perhaps that’s what the Walkers’ tradition is like. It’s really scary. Fortunately, we’ve never had many ties with the Walkers in the past. Otherwise, I’m afraid my children and grandchildren might have died without knowing why, and even their corpses would be missing!” Bruce chimed in sarcastically.

They were gloating at Herman, who had been incredibly arrogant in front of them just now.

Nate’s face turned pale, and he panicked before frantically saying, “No, I really didn’t do it! I… I really didn’t kill Dallas!”

Seeing everyone around him looking at him as though they were saying, ‘Do you think we would believe you? The evidence in the video is clear and unmistakable, yet you’re still trying to defend yourself’, Nate immediately felt hopeless.

He didn’t know how the video was shot and even sent to Reynold.

He and his assistant should have been the only ones present!

But now, he couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong. He only knew that someone had plotted against him in this matter right from the start!

Nate kneeled down in front of Herman and complained sobbingly, “Grandpa! I really didn’t do it! I only learned that Dallas had been killed when the servants in my villa came to report to me that his corpse was in the trunk of my car! I was shocked as well!

“I can swear to God that I really didn’t kill Dallas! Grandpa, you must believe me! Although I’m usually quite a bastard, I wouldn’t kill someone!”

Nate was really terrified.

He also knew that things had blown out of proportion and that it would greatly affect the image and reputation of the Walkers!

The fastest way to placate Reynold and let the matter blow over was either for Nate to produce concrete proof that he didn’t do it or for him to be handed over directly to Reynold.

But if he could produce convincing proof, he wouldn’t have to beg like this!

But before Herman could speak, Reynold had already lost his temper and roared, “Nate Walker, do you really think that all of us are fools that you can deceive?

“If my son wasn’t killed by you, but by someone else, why didn’t you tell the rest of your family or me after you found his corpse in your car?

“I remember yesterday afternoon that I specifically called you to ask you where my son was, and I asked you to inform me as soon as you had news! But what did you do?

“After you saw my son’s corpse suddenly appear in your car, you didn’t say anything or tell anyone about it. Instead, you secretly got your subordinate to take his corpse to the wilderness to dispose of without leaving a trace! Who would believe that you didn’t do it because of a guilty conscience?

“Besides, that car is your favorite car, and your driver and servants are watching it at all times. Who would be able to get past your family guards and place such a large corpse into your car’s trunk?

“Come on. Didn’t you say you were innocent? Didn’t you say that you didn’t murder my son? Give me an explanation then!”

Reynold’s body was trembling violently as two streams of warm tears flowed down his face.

A tough man like him was so overwhelmed with grief and misery that he had been reduced to such a state. Many people present were parents themselves, and they were full of empathy for Reynold. Influenced by his sorrow and anger, they looked at Nate with some hostility.

If their child was killed so brutally by someone who claimed to be their best buddy and even denied having killed them, they would also be just as grief-stricken and would also seek justice for their child even if it meant completely offending the Walkers.

Herman’s face was extremely terrifying.

He looked around at the crowd while countless thoughts raced through his mind.

From a rational point of view, the best thing to do now was probably to hand over his grandson Nate to Reynold and leave him at the latter’s disposal. Then he would apologize and try to gain these families’ understanding to save the Walkers’ image and dispel their suspicions.

However, such an approach would bruise his ego!

He was about to become the hegemon of all of California and dominate all the families in California. He saw no reason for himself to bow down to them and hand his grandson over.

Moreover, he would never forgive Reynold for daring to betray the Walkers at this juncture, let alone placate him!

“Reynold Walker, what can this short video explain? Do you have the video of my grandson murdering him? No. If this video alone is enough proof to convict my grandson, it’d be really absurd!” Herman said arrogantly with his hands behind his back.

Reynold didn’t expect that Herman would still deny it even though things had already come to this.. He was so furious that he was almost rendered speechless.
