Chapter 220 Investigate Harris Family



Xander calls James to find out about the progress on the crime scene.

"How\'s the situation over there?" Previously he had not bothered to check what was happening inside the warehouse. His thoughts were only occupied with his wife.

"Sir, there are 16 corpses. However, we couldn\'t find any CCTV footage, so we can\'t confirm what happened. All the bodies were covered in gunshot wounds..." James explained in detail what he found in the warehouse.

"No CCTV footage? Isn\'t there CCTV in that place?" His voice went up one notch.

He wants to see what\'s happening, but if there\'s no CCTV footage, how is he supposed to see it!?

Feeling in a low mood, Xander massaged his aching forehead.

"They have CCTV, but it looks like it\'s broken, not working. No recording happened today. But I have recorded everything in that place. You can see it in the files I will send!"

"Strange!"

"Indeed, sir..."

"Take their CCTV server and whatever evidence is available and bring it to headquarters. Let the others in the office have a look. Maybe they can find some leads..."

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Yes, sir. Don\'t worry... I\'ve secured everything."

After thinking for a moment, Xander asked again, "Who are these people?"

"They are all members of the \'Shimmer Hand\' organization. You\'ve heard of them, right?"

"Never!!"

James was speechless. His master had never been involved with lowly gangsters, so obviously, he didn\'t know about them.

"They\'re some gangsters. According to the rumors in the underground, they\'re wannabe assassins. Their base is in the Northville District..."

"Assassin? So like The Fox?" Xander is surprised to hear that an assassin\'s guild is on this island.

"Yes. But Shimmer Hand only operated in Astington. As for The Fox, we gathered they\'re an ancient organization with worldwide reach!" James chuckled. "Well, they are incomparable, like heaven and earth..."

Xander listened to James\' explanation silently while looking at the dark sky while his mind was focused on what James had reported. Xander was so focused that his face showed a cold expression, like a polar glacier cold.

After a while...

His expression slowly changed. He said, "Very good! Report to superiors as you say. And make sure there\'s no trace of my wife and Rex Morrison at the crime scene!"

As he had promised Rex, he would fix everything and not cause him any trouble in this country. Moreover, this man had become his wife\'s savior.

"Yes, sir. Consider it done!" said James, then ended the call.

Xander didn\'t know he was standing in the same place for so long with many things bothering him at the moment, that he lost track of time.

The sky was slowly turning bright, there was an orange tinge at the end of the horizon, but he didn\'t bother to enjoy the sunrise, he made another phone call.

"Morning! Alistar, I need you to do something, and I want you to start to do it now. Gather all the information about the misdeeds of the Harris family in Astington!"

The man on the other end, who still hadn\'t fully woken up, was confused by Xander\'s order.

"Sir, which Harris family? The old one or the other one?" Ask Alistar.

"All core members of the Harris family. Especially Ella Harris and Paul Harris! I want to receive all the reports this morning. Can you do it?"

"Consider it done, sir!!"

After talking with Alistar, Xander left his study. He didn\'t immediately join Scarlett to sleep. Still, instead, he left his suite and entered another suite on the same floor.

He didn\'t bother knocking but opened the door using his fingerprint.

Upon entering the room, Xander saw his grandfather sitting by the glass window, holding his teacup while watching the sunrise.

Walter Riley, who was used to getting up early to enjoy the sunrise, looked back when he heard footsteps. How surprised he was to see his grandson, Xander walking towards him.

"Oh! Why did you come so early?" His eyebrows arise because his grandson met him so early — for the first time.

Xander wasn\'t in a rush to say something to his grandfather but stood beside him and looked at the sky outside. So many thoughts were running through his mind at this moment.

Walter Riley was still looking at Xander standing beside him. After a few minutes of waiting, Xander didn\'t say a word. So, Old Riley took a deep breath and followed Xander\'s line of sight, the sky outside.

Walter Riley\'s expression was a mix of worry and sadness when he saw his grandson still wearing the same clothes he had on yesterday. Not only that, his face was sad, and he could guess what had happened; This stupid brat must have fought with Scarlett, right!?

This brat is foolish!! He deserves to be scolded!

After a long silence, Walter couldn\'t help but express his frustration...

"My stupid grandson, you\'ve only been married a few months, and yet you\'re already in disagreement with your wife? Can you let your ego down a bit?" Walter couldn\'t help but want to teach his stupid grandson.

With an angry look, he looked at Xander.

Xander, "..."

"Brat, you have to be able to give in to your wife. If your wife is wrong, never make a big deal about it. And if you are wrong, you have to apologize immediately. Remember, your wife is always right, or you will never sleep in bed for the rest of your life!" Walter\'s eyes narrowed at Xander like he wanted to bash him through his gaze.

"What!?" Xander frowned at his grandfather. "What are you talking about, Grandpa!?"

"You will end up sleeping on the couch for the rest of your life if you still feed your ego and don\'t listen to your wife! And how will you give me great-grandchildren if you don\'t sleep with your wife?" Walter asked sternly and severely.

Xander was utterly speechless. This old man, where did he get that idea from? Summarize as he wishes!? Who is disputed with Scarlett!?

"Grandpa! Who told you I fought with my wife!?" Xander raised his voice angrily. "Just for your information, I didn\'t fight with my beloved woman. We are fine and deeply in love, just like a newlywed couple is supposed to!!"

Walter Riley raised his eyebrows. "You guys didn\'t fight?"

"Definitely! Where did you get the idea from?" Xander asked with a displeased look at his grandfather.
