Chapter 229: The End of Beginning

In an unexpected turn of events, the entire Noctem Dolls team converged in the room, their eyes immediately fixated on the lifeless body sprawled out on the floor and on the bed.

"HIIII!!! Why is there a corpse here?" Clarissa couldn't contain her shock and exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

"Arthur, don't tell me you are responsible for this?" asked Norman.

Arthur solemnly nodded in response, confirming that he was the one who did it.

"So what Ivaylo said was true," said Leofric.

"HAHAHA your looks don't reflect your character at all!" Adam punched Arthur in the back.

Ralph approached the corpse, and his gaze fixed on every intricate detail of it. "He skinned him after poisoning him. This means that he's been contaminating his sword with poison since the beginning."

"Ah... so he had premeditated intentions to take lives in case an unforeseen circumstance arose," Elinor proclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of shock and realization.
