“Shhh! What the hell do you mean by that? There’s no way the Moore family would ever do that to a living person,

“I’m not surprised if they do. Xander’s grandfather’s done it once.”

“Holy sh*t. The Moore family really is heartless. I feel so sorry for the lady inside there.”

Xander placed the coffin next to his father’s grave and instructed the workers, “Let’s begin the ceremony.”

With that, the person-in-charge yelled, “The time has come! Please receive your bride, Mr. Moore.”

As a funeral march began to play, the gravediggers immediately got to work and began to dig up Mr. Moore’s

grave.

The crowd lowered their heads in respect.

Xander also proceeded to mourn sorrowfully.

Everything was going as planned when suddenly, a commotion began to stir from among the crowd.

“Hmm? Look! Those two guys over there are so weird.”

“You’re right. It’s Mr. Moore’s death anniversary, but those guys are dressed in red!”

“What are those huge blokes carrying? Don’t tell me it’s a coffin!”

“What else could it be?”

“Mr. Xander’s already prepared a coffin. Why are these guys bringing another one over?”

“This doesn’t look good.”

“Wait. I know him. He’s Zeke Williams—the one who caused a scene during Mr. Xander’s wedding.”

“What? So instead of running away from Mr. Xander, he’s here looking for him again?”

The two men were Zeke and Sole Wolf.

Their bright red outfits certainly stood out among the crowd dressed in black or white.

Sole Wolf looked especially unusual carrying a coffin.

Xander and Mrs. Moore were livid to see the two men.

He brought himself to us before we even decided to get back at him.

It looks like he’s here to cause trouble.

Such insolence!

That’s fine. We’ll offer them to Dad too.

Xander got up and glared at Zeke coldly. “Looks like I’ve underestimated your guts, Williams. You sure have lots of

guts to come here and meet your death. You’ve even prepared your own coffin!”

The crowd came to a realization. Oh! They could be here to apologize. Maybe he’s prepared that coffin for himself.

Zeke gave Xander a mere glance before walking straight toward the altar.

By now, the grave had already been dug up and the coffin inside it was now visible.

Zeke took out three candles and proceeded to light them.

The crowd got worked up all of a sudden.

He’s lighting candles?

So he really is here to give up his life as a sign of apology.

But judging from how hot-tempered the Moore family is, there’s no way they’d forgive him that easily.

Yet, what Zeke did next shocked everyone.
