The person in the photos shocked him!
‘Marcus?’
Nicholas snapped his head up to look at Yale. His eyes filled with disbelief.
“What, you’ve met this person before?” Yale sneered.
Nicholas put down the photos. His facial expression remained the same.
“This is the man I want you to kill.” Yale stared into his eyes. “Memorize his face, N. Don’t kill the wrong
man!”
“What do you mean?”
Yale’s laughter was strange. He laughed for a long time, so long that Nicholas almost lost his patience.
“Okay, I’ll stop beating around the bush,” Yale said coldly. “This man is Zephyr Hamerton, the third son
of the Hamertons! My grandfather had just flown to North Armania to meet a few dignitaries. He doesn’t
have time for his family… This is the best time to do it!”

Never had he thought Cordelia’s husband was Zephyr!
From the few encounters lately, she did not seem to know his real identity, yet she protected him. If he
had really hurt Zephyr, perhaps that woman would have made him pay the price.
He was not afraid of a woman, but she was Linda’s best friend…
Nicholas let out a long sigh, staring at Yale with a complicated expression. After falling silent for a
moment, he decided to reject the job.
He said in a deep voice, “Sir, this is tricky. Please, think it through.”
Yale played with the lighter in his hand casually while puffing on the cigar in his mouth. He scoffed at
him.
“I’m worried about you.” Nicholas smirked. “I heard he’s spoiled by the old man. The rumor has it that
he’ll inherit the Hamertons. If he’s suddenly gone, won’t your grandfather get to the bottom of it?
“Hah, sir, the Hamertons are not to be offended. If they come to me… I can’t handle them!”
“So that’s what you’re afraid of?” Yale revealed a strange expression. He lifted his hand slowly and
slammed it twice.
At that moment, the door opened, and slow and heavy footsteps came outside the door.
Nicholas stared at the door. His mind suddenly went blank when that man appeared…
“What?” He was shocked. He looked at Yale and then at that man again. He was dumbstruck.
“M-Marcus!?”
Marcus wore a fit suit, and his hair was tidy.
Indeed, he could be Zephyr’s double.
However, the lechery, dodging eyes, and the lowliness deep in his bones set him apart from Zephyr!
“Hah… N!” Marcus revealed a fawning smile as soon as he spoke. He still looked worthless in the
presence of Nicholas, just like before.

Nicholas looked at him. As expected, he had lost a finger. There was a finger cot wrapped around his
left pinky.
“What do you think?” Yale was proud and walked over to pat Marcus’ shoulder. “Can we fool them?”
Nicholas took a deep breath in and smacked his lips. “Sir—”
“If you secretly get rid of Zephyr, we can use this man from now on!”
At this point, Nicholas understood Yale’s plan.
After getting rid of Zephyr and getting Marcus to replace him, Marcus would be Yale’s puppet!
Nicholas smirked in disdain. “Sir, do you really think your grandfather is so old that he can’t tell them
apart?
“Liam Hamerton is the prestigious Hamertons’ head! What has he not seen in his life? Don’t you think
he’d be suspicious that you’re using this piece of trash to replace his heir? He’s old, but he’s not a fool!”
Nicholas thought something was wrong with Yale’s head.
However, he saw the latter’s terrifying grin as soon as he was done speaking. He suddenly came to a
realization. In order to not let the old man suspect anything, perhaps the only way was to…
Kill Liam as well?
