“My Lord, they claim that they can help you deal with Scott’s murderer and hope that you’ll meet them,” the guard
said.
“Oh, is that so?” Anders raised an eyebrow.
After considering it briefly, he nodded. “Very well, let them in.”
“Understood.” the guard acknowledged and promptly left. Soon, Eleanor and Elena were brought into the room.
Eleanor appeared relatively fine, only her cheeks were slightly red.
On the other hand, Elena appeared pale and disheveled. She struggled to move in her wheelchair and coughed
occasionally. She looked especially weak.
“Greetings, Sir Anders!” Eleanor bowed immediately upon seeing Anders. Elena struggled to get up from her
wheelchair but was stopped by Anders. “All right, that’s unnecessary. Please, both of you, straighten up.”

Elena, on the other hand, couldn’t help but steal glances at Anders from time to time, her heart racing.
He certainly lived up to his reputation as one of Oakvale’s four princes. Handsome and charismatic, he looked far
more attractive than in photos.
He was handsome, held a prominent position, and wielded significant power, making him the perfect man. If only
she could marry someone like him, she would consider it a dream come true.
“So tell me, why have you come to see me? Anders asked impassively.
“My Lord, we heard Dustin caused a commotion at Jadeleaf Manor today and even publicly killed Scott.
“We’re greatly outraged by this and have come to help you eliminate this threat.” Eleanor went straight to the
point.
She understood well that pretenses were pointless before someone as influential as Anders. Her best chance at
convincing him was being honest and open.
“I appreciate your goodwill. However, how exactly will you be able to help me? “Anders retorted.
“We know Dustin very well, including his weakness. With a little scheming, we can lure him into our trap.
“By then, you’ll be able to capture him easily with your forces lying in ambush, “Eleanor explained confidently.
“Sounds promising, but why would you want to help me?” Anders remained unfazed.
“To be honest, we have a deep-seated grudge against Dustin. He had used the power of the Spanners to oppress
our families, making our lives miserable.
“We’d love nothing more than to tear that bastard apart!” Eleanor expressed her hatred.
“So, you plan to use my influence to seek revenge and simultaneously counteract the oppression from the
Spanners?” Anders asked with a half- hearted smile.
“My Lord, we share a common enemy. If we work together, it’ll be beneficial for both parties.” Eleanor tried to

“Work together?” Anders raised an eyebrow.
“What can you offer me? Why should I work with you?”
“My Lord, if you help both of our families through this difficult time, we’ll be your loyal followers and only obey you!”
Eleanor bowed again.
“That’s right, we’re willing to provide you with support and resources.” Elena nodded repeatedly.
“Alright! Since you’re so sincere, I’ll help you this once. However, before that, you must get rid of Dustin for me,
“Anders said.
“No problem! We’ll definitely eliminate that troublemaker for you!” Eleanor and Elena were overjoyed.
“Now, it’s time to discuss how to trap our prey.” Anders grinned. Although Anders was smiling, his gaze was chilling.
It was as if he was looking at two corpses.
Just moments ago, he was worried about finding a suitable scapegoat. Unexpectedly, two individuals walked right
into his hands. It was nothing short of perfect!
