"What?" Carrick raised his head, not believing what he had just heard. "You mean... my uncle-in-law?"

"Yes, sir. 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."

"Hmm... Who is that person?" Carrick asked.

"He is the CEO of Sriscester Group. Combined with Mr. Sam, they’ve contributed about 10% of the family’s distribution."

"Oh!" Carrick nodded. He only knew about his uncle-in-law, not whoever he was working with.

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.

However, he was quite fair to the other wives as well. He gave them a portion of the business, allowing their families to prosper.

Now that one of them had died, it was only right for Carrick to pay them a visit.

"Still, isn’t this weird? Why would he get assassinated?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"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."

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.

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.

Carrick thought for a moment before asking, "How about the assassin?"

"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.

"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."

"Weapon?" Carrick frowned.

"Most likely a dagger."

Carrick looked down, falling into deep thought. "Okay. I’ll take a look at this matter. Where is he?"

"Mr. Sam is with your wife right now in Villa No. 2."

"Got it. Start the car first. I’ll leave after I’m done with this."

"Understood." The butler bowed before taking his leave.

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.

Nevertheless, he should investigate the matter first.

He came out ten minutes later, and the butler immediately drove him to the villa.

His third wife and her brother came to him.

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."

"Don’t worry. I’ll ask my men to investigate it."

"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."

Carrick nodded. "I know, so calm down for now. Please accept my condolences."

He stopped while biting his lip.

Carrick turned to his wife, who could only look away. "Where are Ran and Lovens?"

"Ran is at his school. Lovens should be hanging out with his friends."

"At the club again? Does he not come home when his family is like this?"

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.

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."

"Y-Yes. Thank you very much, brother-in-law."

Carrick’s eyebrows twitched, looking at this shameless man. He could only sigh inwardly. There were simply too many problems in his family.

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.

Tesron could only beat someone weaker than him, not stronger. In the end, Tesron became a disappointment in his eyes.

Nevertheless, Tesron was still the most brilliant son he had.

Still, it wasn’t enough compared to Clovis.

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.

In addition, Clovis managed to get the only daughter of the Elseingarde family.

With both top-tier families joining forces, their influence would become massive.

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.

The fact that he even brought other families showed the harmonious relationship that the Elseingarde family possessed with other in-laws.

With such a solid relationship, it would be hard for the Melesviet family to shake the Hacfield family in the future.

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.

And this time, he had to handle this kind of problem.

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.

Compared to his wives, they were far more brilliant.

Carrick could only walk to another room in this villa to calm himself down.

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.

"I guess I should go there in two days..." Carrick sighed, looking at the ceiling.
