"Despicable deed?"

Nathaniel had known that there were various kinds of sordid affairs in those extended families, but he did not dare to blather anything.

Carlson said with a sneer, "Yeah. They drugged my aunt and sent her onto the bed of the Zhao family's son, who was also well-matched with the Hans family. My aunt was forced to deflower. The Mo family was even afraid that the Zhao family would not admit to their wrongdoings. Thereafter, they brought a bunch of people and directly broken into the room which nearly caused my aunt to commit suicide." Nathaniel would rather stop listening to anything regarding the scandal.

"Master Mo, can you stop talking about it? I..."

"You want to leave after getting to know the beginning of the story? It's too late now. Nathaniel, since you know about the scandal of the Mo family, then you have to continue with the rest and help me to settle it. Otherwise, I will silence you. You know right, all the Mo family's members are cold-blooded."

There was no warmth in Carlson's voice.

As he was the Crown Prince, and he would definitely become king one day. Meanwhile, Carlson had taken control of the Mo family at the moment. Therefore, his remarks weren't exaggerating after all. Nathaniel was feeling somewhat irritated. He should not be curious about it, yet he had no chance to pull back himself anymore.

From the very beginning, Carlson had attempted to wheedle him into this. Perhaps, this was because he preparing for the coronation.

There were plenty of people who wished to replace his position. He would certainly require tactics to become the real man in power. It was not enough to keep his life safe simply by relying on their brotherhood from those days. Therefore, Nathaniel could understand the changes in Carlson.

"Okay, go ahead..."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Carlson somehow felt agonized and bitter.

He realized that he could not be able to return to the past after all.

Carlson took a deep breath and said, "The Mo family was afraid that my aunt would commit suicide, thus they sent someone to lock her up in the room. They sent someone to negotiate about the marriage between my aunt with the Zhao family at the same time. They even tried their best to bargain for benefits and support from the Zhao family. Perhaps the Zhao family had indeed wished to marry my aunt at the beginning, but the Mo family was facing a tough time back then. They have given exorbitant demands which irritated the Zhaos family members. Although the wedding date has been set, it kept getting delayed till my aunt got pregnant."

"It was indeed a terrible scandal in the society back then if the unmarried daughter of the Mo family got pregnant. In order to hide the scandal, the Mo family did not discuss it with the Zhao family. They directly sent someone to force my aunt to abort the baby in private instead. She almost lost her mind back then. Fortunately, my mother has given birth to me, but she died due to hemorrhage in childbirth."

"My aunt has just lost her own child, while I lost my mother. Therefore, she took me in her arms and raised me like her own child. The Zhaos family has helped the Mo family tide over the difficulties but they did not mention the marriage with my aunt ever again. Whereas the Mo family has also pretended that nothing had happened and her marriage has been detained since then." "The eldest son of the Zhao family has married another woman when I was five, which meant they has completely given up marriage with my aunt. She was literally like a person who was abandoned by both ours and the Zhaos family. No one cared if she was alive or dead, and nobody cared about her relationship attachments anymore. They even felt that it was the best choice for my aunt to raise me up. After all, my aunt was from the Mo family, and I am the eldest son of the family. However, my aunt has received news about Barack during that year."

"I will always remember how my aunt dressed up herself in a gorgeous way. She touched my head and wistfully told me that she wanted to look for her happiness and the man whom she has fallen in love with at that time. Besides, she told me that she would bring along Barack with her and both of them would be by my side when I grow up. However, there was no more news from her ever since she left our family." On that note, Carlson was feeling indeed upset.

He said in a low voice, "I've thought that my aunt have found her own happiness, and she couldn't come back to visit me perhaps due to some reason. However, only then did I learn some things when I grew up later. I realized that my aunt nearly perished tragically, and Benny, the eldest son of the Zhaos Family was the culprit behind those incidents. He took away my aunt's virginity, yet he didn't marry her, nor did he allow my aunt to find her happiness. When he got to know that my aunt has found Barack, he misused his power to make a fake order and launched a mission which caused the village where my aunt and Barack were staying to be destroyed. He has given an excuse that the village was infected with an extraordinary plague, and it was required to be dealt urgently as the epidermic couldn't be controlled anymore."

Carlson's utterance immediately made Nathaniel angry.

"What did you say?"

Nathaniel had thought about the countless reason of Longford County being exterminated, but little did he imagine that it was simply because of a relationship vendetta.

That d*mned Benny!

"What is his position now? Where is he?"

Those conspiracies that happened against both Nathaniel and Mango had begun from the genocidal of Longford County. He never wondered that Benny was the culprit who caused the massacre of Longford County!

That b*stard had caused such a huge injustice which involved plenty of people just for his personal grudge. He had even incriminated those three generations. Nathaniel would not forgive himself if he was unable to tear the person into pieces.

However, Carlson replied in a low voice, "Benny is indeed cunning. He has committed such a heinous crime and knew that he would be able to cover his guilt only for a short period, but not forever. Hence, he applied for retirement from the army once he has committed the deed and his whole family has emigrated abroad."

"What a jerk!"

Nathaniel gnashed his teeth in anger. He couldn't believe that the destruction of the Longford County was literally due to the jealousy of a man.

"Was Longford County the place where both your aunt and Barack stayed at that time?"

Nathaniel had to confirm his conjecture even if he guessed it.

Carlson nodded and said, "Yeah. He used the fact that Longford County was a county which they fed venom for generations as a reason. Venom rarely appeared in front of the people, thus the unknown fear and drudgery from the people towards venom made it look even more mysterious. Moreover, the venom feeding technique was passed on from generation to generation and outsiders were not clear about thei condition. Therefore, nobody would believe that it was hyperbole when it was said that the venom they fed has spread the plague. Those people living in the county has even gone nuts. It was uncontrollable, which would harm the surrounding counties and even the whole living area. Therefore, the Longford County was exterminated in the shortest time once they received the fake order. However, both my aunt and Barack have left the county coincidentally when they carried out the mission. Those armies who have involved in that mission were from extended families like the Hans, Xiao, the Eaves and also the Zhao family. Benny has made a good plan. Once the incident has unmasked, those four families were involved. Even if some higher-ups held them accountable, they would definitely keep the dignity of the four families and go easy on them. Therefore, the mission was really carried out."

"D*mn it!"

Nathaniel punched a rock near him with anger, and blood exuded from the back of his hand, but he felt more pain in heart than his wound.

How innocent were the people of the Longford County!

Was it simply because Carlson's aunt and Barack happened to be there and the entire village had to be destroyed with them?

What had she and Barack done wrong?

Those scenes of the memory venom once again emerged in Nathaniel's mind.

The elderly women along with children desperately cried for help and yelled, but they were all shot...

Nathaniel was overcame by the clamour and shouting from those disturbed spirits which made him irritated.

He wanted to kill someone!

He wished to kill Benny! Darn b*stard!

However, he could only control himself at the moment.

Carlson knew how Nathaniel would react but he still wanted him to know.

As it had been so many years since the incident happened, his aunt was still unaccounted for and had yet to return home. The Mo family had only figured out the incident in those recent years and had carried out investigations in secret.

When something was wrong with Nanny Zhang and when the Ye family asked Carlson for help, the Mo family knew that the incident would soon be revealed.

However, it was deemed hard to verify the fact as Benny's whereabouts were unknown as he had migrated abroad. They could only trace the given order back then, but it was also not archived with the least value. Those four families that participated in the mission had become the pillars of the community, but they were kept in suspense. Little did they know that their task back then was literally due to Benny's personal grudge, and they even thought that it was a real mission.

The Mo family could not explain those incidents to the four families. They even tried to whitewash the incidents and covered them up. After all, years had passed but the descendants of Longford County were fearless to take their revenge. They had tried everything they could which make everyone had no clues to solve it.

Carlson made a very clear stance. Those who committed the wrong deeds back then tended to pay for the corresponding price.

They owed Longford County a justice after it was exterminated for no reason.

Nathaniel was a descendant of the Longford County.

The fact couldn't be changed regardless of Nanny Zhang's scheme or some other reasons. The Golden Lancehead Venom which represented the patriarch of Longford County, had entered into Nathaniel's body at that time. Nathaniel would know about it sooner or later.

Instead of letting Nathaniel figure out the truth by himself, Carlson felt that it was better to tell Nathaniel at once so that they would at least not become rivals.

"Nathaniel, I know the incident has left a great impact on you. Also, I know that with merely an apology can't change anything, and it has no practical significance. I'm now telling you the truth. I want to look for both my aunt and Barack. The information I have gathered now is that Barack is still alive, but he leads a life worse than death. However, I don't know about his exact whereabouts. Some people say that he's in Angolla, while there were others who say that he's nearby Longford County. As long as we can find Barack, I will get to know my aunt's whereabouts as well. I wish to bring my aunt home. After all, she's like a mother to me."

Carlson's words made Nathaniel feel irritated.

"I can't give you an answer now. I need to be alone."

"Okay I understand. I'll give you time to consider it. You can give me a call whenever you sort things out."

Nathaniel nodded at Carlson's words.

"By the way, the Golden Lancehead Venom in your body does not pose any harm to you. After learning about the incident that happened over Longford County, I studied some ancient books and learned that the Golden Lancehead Venom is a venom that is passed down from generations of patriarchs, and it's the King among venoms. It may be harmful to ordinary people or even kill them immediately. However, as the patriarch's descendant inherits the lineage, the Golden Lancehead Venom is non-toxic, but it's highly nutritious instead, which can well protect the current patriarch. However, perhaps you have just connected with it and haven't been co- existing with it yet, hence you tend to overcome some irascible emotion. It will be cured after some time."

Carlson told Nathaniel some matters regarding the Golden Lancehead Venom, but Nathaniel couldn't listen to him anymore. The pictures of those innocent people dying tragically played in his mind over and over again...
