When Lee noticed that David was raising the issue, he said, "To be honest, you know a s well as I do that the Eagle Clan has suffered heavy losses before this. We lost 300 men, and we’ve been searching for the culprit behind their murders. We must avenge their deaths by killing him!"
"Oh? So did you find him?"
David’s heart nearly skipped a beat. He said, "Master Neuman, why are you here then? Heh. Don't tell me that you suspect one of us? Your 300 men were all elites from the headquarter. One of them was even one of the Four Fighters from the Eagle Clan. We certainly don't have the means to have a man slaughter so many people!" "It's all a misunderstanding! You misunderstood me, Master Wilson," Lee replied hurriedly. "I don't want to cause any trouble by coming to you. I wanted to cooperate with you!"
Here, Lee paused for a while and cast a glance toward Michael, who stood to the side. "According to our investigations, Fane was the one who killed our 300 men," he continued. "That son-in-law of the Taylor family, Fane!”
"What!"
Michael immediately exclaimed when he heard that. His expression revealed utter disbelief. "No way. Is he that strong?"
"You don’t know who he really is?”
Lee was surprised. "I know that you’re on pretty good terms with Selena. Shouldn't you have some knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Fane Woods?" "Not really. I've seen him fight before, but h e was only facing off against a few dozen bodyguards. I know that he's pretty strong, but no way that he killed all 300 of your men all by himself!"
Michael still felt that it was impossible. He looked straight at Lee. “Maybe you've got the wrong guy? The man who killed your people from the Eagle Clan, at least had the strength of a marshal or a King of War. And Fane-Fane is probably just a head commander!"
"No way. We’ve verified our sources. It’s definitely him!"
Lee was extremely adamant. "Fane is a funny little character. I suspected that he was a King of War who was hiding his true strength and keeping a low profile. But once he's provoked, the consequences are unimaginable."
At this moment, David nodded his head after he thought about the subject. “Fane is very strong. I was also curious why so many people respect him even though he was just an assistant commander. And many war veterans had turned up for Old Man Taylor's birthday party!"
