"What's wrong?" The father and son's faces changed.
"There was a team of construction workers who parked a truck right outside our residence, but the vehicle was left behind without anyone spotted in sight. Then, we found Jerrick, the manager of Mount Rochwick's tourism department, to be bloodied and insane."
"What?!"
Felix sprang up from his chair and said, "Let's check out what’s going on!"
When they got to the Jacob Residence's main entrance, they were greeted by the sight of a huge truck that was parked just in front of the main gate. In the meantime, Jerrick was seen sitting in the corner, curling up while hugging his knees. After all, he had been sharing the same space with William's dead body in the dark container, which was believed to have rendered him insane and mad. As soon as Felix and Trevis walked out the door, they asked, "What happened?"
With a pair of soulless eyes on his face, Jerrick pointed at the container with his shivering finger. "M-Mr. Jacob..." Upon hearing Jerrick's words, Felix stepped forward to open the container's lid. After a creaking sound from the door, Felix staggered backward like he had been hit with several bullets, his face turning pale in that instant. When everyone else sensed the man's reaction, they all instantly knew something was wrong. Thus, they all peeked at the container's interior to see what was going on, only to find William's mutilated and amputated corpse lying in a pool of blood. At the same time, the truck's container was filled with an unpleasant and sickening smell that could make anyone's hair stand on end.
While some of the witnesses were so disgusted that they immediately puked there and then, Felix grieved and shouted at the top of his lungs, "William!" After all, William was his favorite and youngest son among his children, so it broke his heart to see him die such a horrible death. "William..." Felix staggered, nearly losing his footing as he was about to faint.
"Dad." Trevis quickly got a hold of his father and told him to pull himself together. "You need to calm down, Dad. We need to find out who murdered William."
When Trevis' words got to his head, Felix opened his eyes wide and strode toward Jerrick, grabbing the latter by his collar and questioning him. "Tell me! Who the f*ck killed my son?!"
Meanwhile, Jerrick appeared to be much calmer now as he replied with a shaking voice, "I-It's a man known as... Mr. Nicholson, but I don't know much about him."
"Mr. Nicholson?" Felix pressed on with a menacing look on his face. "Why did that guy kill my son in such a horrible way?!"
