Nathaniel Luke, president of the New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce, had just finished his speech and was about to pass the stage to Homer when there was a sudden commotion.
Charlie’s yell had attracted the attention of the Fox family's men and hotel staff, and they went over only to witness a horrifying scene in front of the guest lounge.
Quinn's six bodyguards had been killed and had died on the spot. Homer’s assistant, Harper Saw, had also been brutally killed and had died on the scene too.
Worst of all, their young master, Homer, was missing.
Homer's few bodyguards were so frightened and fell to the ground at once. They could not believe that their young master was missing from his family-owned hotel.
Among them, there was a middle-aged man named Becker Quill. Becker was also a martial arts master who was responsible for protecting Homer's safety. He was Jordan's bodyguard, Jarvis Yant's junior.
However, Homer had never regarded him a s his own ever since he had been assigned t o protect Homer. He was often dismissed b y Homer for various reasons, and Homer often changed the activity plan without informing him and acting without him.
As time passed, Becker became somewhat dissatisfied with Homer's attitude. He even mentioned the problem to Jarvis and requested him to find a fellow martial artist of the same rank to replace him.
Jarvis had agreed to his request but repeatedly told him to be patient for the time being and wait until Jarvis had returned from Oskia.
Becker had wanted to protect Homer up-close in today's charity dinner, but he did not expect Homer to have stopped him from doing so. Homer had put him on duty i n the ballroom and forbade him from leaving the ballroom.
If Becker had not heard the tragic scream, h e would not have left the ballroom rashly.
Becker rushed to the door of the lounge only to see the seven corpses at the scene, and his heart made a loud thud. He recognized the shurikens on the seven corpses in a glance! This was the hidden weapon only used by ninjas!
He immediately questioned, "Who discovered the murder first?!"
