Chapter 706: What Is The Truth?

Everyone looked in the direction Nate was pointing, and they couldn’t help being surprised.
The video evidence was still being played on the projection screen. Everyone thought that Nate was nonsensically shirking responsibility and putting the blame on Lucas.
If Nate had known who the murderer was, why did he only speak up after a long time of being unable to produce any evidence to prove his innocence?
Reynold said angrily, “Nate Walker, enough! The evidence in the video is solid proof of your crime. You’ve already sent your subordinate to drag my son’s corpse out to be destroyed. Surely you don’t think you can push the blame to someone else, do you?”
Nate panicked and hurriedly said, “No, Mr. Walker, what I said is true. Lucas Gray is definitely the person who killed your son!
“I’m sure everyone knows that Dallas and Lucas Gray had a conflict during Miss Alexis Cole’s birthday party last night. This is no secret at all, and many people present saw it with their own eyes, right?”
Nate and Dallas were eventually kicked out of her birthday party by Alexis, which was certainly very humiliating. But Nate couldn’t be bothered at this point because he wanted to clear himself of the suspicion of murdering Dallas, so he decided to mention it again.
There were indeed many people present who had attended Alexis’s birthday party yesterday, and the memory of the conflict was still fresh in their minds. However, they could objectively say that it wasn’t exactly a conflict between Lucas and Dallas, but rather, Dallas’s repeated provocation toward Lucas.
“Ahem. Anyway, after we left the party, Dallas told me that he couldn’t take it lying down and wanted to teach Lucas Gray a lesson. Then he left.
“But I didn’t expect Dallas to turn into a corpse and appear in my car’s trunk when I saw him again!
“I was anxious and terrified at the time, and I was worried that it would cause Mr. Watson to get the wrong idea about me. That’s why I sent my subordinate to suppress this matter for the time being. But I can swear that I definitely didn’t kill Dallas!
“During this time, Dallas went to look for Lucas Gray, so he must have been killed by this punk!”
Nate spoke earnestly. For fear that others wouldn’t believe him, he told them everything he knew at once.
Herman raised his eyebrows. “Mr. Walker, you’ve heard it. Nate indeed made a mistake in suppressing the matter in a moment of panic, which he shouldn’t have. But it was because he didn’t want you to get the wrong idea. It was indeed inappropriate of him not to tell you the truth and instead get his man to destroy the corpse. I admit that he shouldn’t have done that, and I can apologize to you for it.
“However, he explained everything very clearly. Lucas Gray definitely has a greater motive for killing him!
“Furthermore, there are some obvious questionable points in this matter. For example, how could it be so coincidental for there to be a video of Nate ordering subordinates to destroy the corpse and then sent to you afterward?
“Mr. Watson, aren’t you curious about who the mastermind is?
“I reckon that you, who loves your son so much, definitely don’t want to be used by the real murderer, do you?”
After speaking, Herman deliberately glanced at Lucas, seemingly hinting at something.
After hearing these words, Reynold hesitated.
Indeed, the unknown number that had sent him the video had been a thorn in his heart.
Unfortunately, try as he might, he couldn’t find the slightest clue about the anonymous number, and he didn’t know how this person had managed to take the video and send it to him. This person even accurately told him the exact location of where the corpse would have been destroyed.
Could the real murderer be Lucas Gray, and his motive is to use me to deal with the Walkers? He looked at Lucas, filled with suspicions.
“What? Mr. Watson, are you going to be influenced by those provocative words and suspect that I’m the murderer instead?” Lucas looked extremely composed and even seemed to be mocking him a little. He didn’t show the slightest bit of panic after being exposed, leaving Reynold doubting his own thoughts again.
He really couldn’t see through this young man in front of him.
If he was really his son’s murderer, Lucas’s thoughts and intelligence were way too terrifying.
But Lucas was only a young man in his twenties, so he doubted that Lucas would really be able to do it.
“Lucas Gray, stop arguing! Dallas was clearly killed by you, and you hid his body in my car to frame me! At this point, you still dare to say that you didn’t do it?” Nate hollered.
He actually didn’t have any evidence to prove that Lucas was Dallar’s murderer. But as long as he could put the blame on Lucas, he would be innocent. So he shouted extremely loudly, afraid that everyone present wouldn’t hear him.
Lucas looked up at Nate, who suddenly stood up, let out a long sigh. “You’re so anxious to convict me, but you don’t have any actual evidence. How ridiculous! It seems that the Walkers aren’t willing to own up to it and give the Watsons an explanation, huh? In that case, let me give the Watsons some help!”
Then Lucas moved his long legs and walked toward Nate.
Nate’s heart trembled, and he immediately felt as though he was facing a terrifying enemy.
But immediately afterward, he saw Walker’s bodyguards around him and his grandfather and felt relieved.
He didn’t believe that Lucas would dare to harm him in public when there were so many bodyguards around him!
“Lucas Gray, don’t be too arrogant! Dallas was killed by you, and now you’re pretending to be merciful in front of us? The greatest way you can account to the Watsons is to kill yourself right now!” Nate shouted maniacally.
Now, he was just trying to provoke Lucas on purpose, to make him so angry that he would lose his rationality and attack him. In that case, many of the Walkers’ elite bodyguards could take him down immediately!
As long as Lucas landed in their hands, he couldn’t deny the crime of murdering Dallas!
Nate had a menacing and ruthless look on his face.
At the same time, Herman was also looking at Lucas with a playful and contemptuous expression.
In his opinion, Lucas was just shooting himself in the foot by choosing to confront them alone. Is he courting death?
“You don’t know any better!”
Just as Lucas was about to reach within five steps of where the Walkers were, an elite bodyguard clad in black suddenly roared furiously, raised his fists, and charged at Lucas!
