The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 829: TO THE ROOM BELOW

THE shadowʼs figure was slowly revealed. The moment light filled the room, a shocked gasped was heard.

”H-how… why… what are you doing, mum?” Cian said in a shocked voice. His expression full of disbelief.

Mrs. Gilmore slowly turned to the door of the room and seeing the people standing there, the pillow she was holding fell. ”Cian—”

”As expected, Mrs. Gilmore truly didnʼt disappoint me,” Luo Yan said, cutting off whatever the older woman was about to say.

Mrs. Gilmore glanced at Luo Yan. Apart from him and Cian, Daphne and ʼSofiaʼ were also there. Their presence here, added to the fact that there was no one on the bed aside from a lump of pillows covered by a blanket. Itʼs not hard to understand what exactly was happening.

Mrs. Gilmoreʼs stunned and anxious expression turned to that of anger. ”You manipulated me?”

”Well, I wouldnʼt say manipulated exactly,” Luo Yan said with a shrug. ”I simply believed in the fact that you will do anything to make sure this plan wonʼt go awry. For that, itʼs important that the identity of your accomplice should never be revealed. Even a hint of it is not allowed. So, you see, instigating you could hardly be called manipulation. Because even without me, you would still do the same thing. You would still end up here, in this room, trying to kill George.”

Mrs. Gilmore didnʼt respond and just looked at Luo Yan with no emotion. But her clenched fists showed what sheʼs really feeling right now.

”Why do you want to kill my father, Mrs. Gilmore?” Daphne asked, looking all confused and angry at the same time.

Mrs. Gilmore remained silent.

”Mum, please, just say something. Explain yourself, please!” Cian said, his voice full of anguish. ”Just- just tell them itʼs all a big misunderstanding!”

The older woman clenched her teeth and avoided her sonʼs gaze. This made Cian despair even more.

”It doesnʼt matter even if you donʼt say anything. Mrs. Green and Mary had seen you going up here from the room directly below this,” referring to the head maid and the maid.

It was one of the things he told ʼSofiaʼ to do earlier – to let the head maid and the maid to hide at the room below this after dinner. So, they could witness whoever would enter that room and do anything suspicious.

”Your actions already spoke of premeditation. Even if you try to reason out what youʼre doing here, it will just seem like a lousy excuse,” he added. ”Now then, since we already establish that, why donʼt we move to another room so everyone can hear what Iʼm about to say? After all the things that happened within a day, everyone here is entitled to the truth.”

After saying that, he smiled at Mrs. Gilmore and gestured for her to leave the room. ”Please, after you.”

He wasnʼt worried that the other would run. Because where else could she go? Werenʼt they the ones who made this situation so all of them would be isolated in this place? He also wasnʼt afraid that Mrs. Gilmore would hide in one of those passageways in this manor. Why would he when he had the biggest collateral here?

Luo Yan glanced at Cian. As long as they this kid with them, Mrs. Gilmore and her accomplice wouldnʼt dare to leave. Although there was a bit of worry that the two would actually go to the extreme after this and just decided to kill all of them, he just had to thread carefully so as to not let that happen. And by that, he meant using Cian to guilt-trip the other two.

Mrs. Gilmore gave him a faint glance and refused to move.

Luo Yan only smiled at this before turning to the young butler. ”Cian, can you please escort your mother to the room below this one?”

Cian, who was still wallowing in his own sadness, was startled when he was suddenly named. He turned to Luo Yan in a dazed manner. ”I— I donʼt—”

Luo Yan slightly bent down towards Cian and whispered to the other, ”Donʼt worry, nothing bad will happen to your mother. Trust me.”

He looked directly at the other, his eyes were silently saying, ʼas long as you cooperate with me, I wonʼt let anything happen to your motherʼ.

Cian seemed to understand that. His green eyes that were already filled with bleakness started to have a small shine of hope. He didnʼt respond to Luo Yan but answered with his actions.

The other walked to his motherʼs side and said, ”Letʼs go, mum.”

Mrs. Gilmore looked at her son and then sighed. She then glared at Luo Yan as if that could relieve her of the anger sheʼs feeling. Luo Yan only smiled at the other as a respond. At the end, the other had no choice but to let her son guide her out of the room.

”Will this be alright?” Daphne asked in a worried tone while staring at the backs of the mother-son pair.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm sure James have this under control,” ʼSofiaʼ said before turning to Luo Yan with a charming smile. ”Right, James?”

He smiled back. ”Of course.”

Daphne looked back and forth between the two. Her expression was saying ʼwhatʼs wrong with these two people?ʼ.

The three followed the mother and son duo towards the floor below. Luo Yan then took the lead and walked to the room he told Cian to go. He opened the door and entered. Inside, Mrs. Green and Mary were already there waiting. Together with them, Charles, Harry, and Arthur were also there.

”Can I ask what exactly are we doing here?” asked the young Harry, looking as impatient as ever.

This was another thing that Luo Yan told ʼSofiaʼ to do. To let everyone gather here at this time. By everyone, he didnʼt include George. If the other was also present during Luo Yanʼs deduction performance later, then it would be just full chaos. So, he locked the other in a room. Letting the footman guard outside.

”Letʼs wait for the others.”

After Luo Yan said that, the door of the room opened. He glanced back and smiled when he saw the people who walked inside.
