“Logan Rhys?” The confidant’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“That’s impossible. Wasn’t he reported dead?”
“He just disappeared. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s dead. At least we haven’t found a complete body so far,” Anders said solemnly.
Ten years ago, the chaos happened suddenly and ended abruptly. After that night, Logan, who had all eyes on him, mysteriously disappeared.
The only thing the authorities found was a charred body that they suspected to be him. However, the body was so badly burnt that it was impossible to identify.
Due to the official announcement, many people came to believe that the body was indeed his. Only the sharp individuals were skeptical, as there were inconsistencies and uncertainties surrounding this issue.
However, people gradually accepted this outcome as time passed without any news of Logan.
It only came to his mind because he found a striking resemblance between Dustin and Logan. Not only were they both young and exceptionally talented, but they also shared the same surname -Rhys.
All these hints connected together and made him increasingly suspicious.
“If Logan is still alive, he should have returned to the West Lucozian monarchy. Why haven’t we heard the news?” The confidant was puzzled.
The West Lucozian monarchy was a central hub of power and was under constant surveillance by the government. Typically, any unusual movement would be reported back to Oakvale immediately. However, there was no information from either side.
“It’s too conspicuous to return there. Perhaps Logan has something important to do, so he hid his identity this entire time.” Anders stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Although he was known as the prodigy and the strongest God of War, there was still a hurdle in his life that he couldn’t overcome. It had to do with the Kirin, Logan Rhys.
Ten years ago, when Logan’s name shook Oakvale, Anders had challenged him to a duel but suffered a devastating defeat.
For him, it was a heavy blow and left a lingering resentment all this while. He had always hoped to have a fair, public rematch with Logan to wipe away that past humiliation.
If Dustin turned out to be Logan, his long-awaited opportunity for revenge had finally come.
“My Lord, what should we do now?” the confidant asked cautiously.
“Double-check and verify his identity.”
Anders continued solemnly, “I remember that Logan has a tattoo of a beast on his body. It’s the symbol of being the Kirin. Find someone to investigate whether Dustin has this tattoo on his body.”
“Understood, I’ll arrange it immediately.” The confidant nodded. He asked another question, “My Lord, if Dustin turns out to be Logan, what should we do?”
“The West Lucozian monarchy is like a parasite to our nation. As the rightful heir to the throne, Logan is a great threat to our nation. We have a duty to eliminate that threat.” A cold glint flickered in Anders’ eyes.
He did not wish for Logan to live under any terms.
“My Lord, Logan’s identity is a sensitive issue. If we take action, it could lead to serious repercussions afterward.” the confidant reminded.
The West Lucozian monarchy was not easy to deal with. If they found out that Logan died in their hands, they would undoubtedly retaliate.
Considering the Mosey family’s current power, they had a low chance of winning against the West Lucozian barbarians.
“You’re right. We have to think this through. We need to find a scapegoat,” Anders murmured.
It was the perfect timing to take action since Logan’s identity was still hidden. Once the truth came to light, the West Lucozian monarchy would undoubtedly send elite guards to protect him.
It would be too late to act by then.
“My Lord!”
A guard suddenly entered the room and announced, “My Lord, Eleanor Welch, and Elena Forrest have come to visit. They insist on discussing an urgent matter.”
“Eleanor? Elena? What are they here for? Tell them to leave,” Anders said impatiently. He was tired of the constant stream of women trying to earn his favor.
