Chapter 478 - 478: The Truth in the Past (1/2)

Elle grabbed Phantom's hand to calm him down.

”Father, please. I know it's hard but please calm down first. Let's listen to Mr. Carter's story first.”

Elle could understand why Phantom was acting like this. He lost his cool because of his family. He was still mourning for them.

He thought he got justice for them but it seemed like he was mistaken. Did he kill the wrong person before? Was everything that happened before just a set-up made by the Dark Lord?

Mr. Carter sighed deeply. He knew how angry and furious Phantom was right now. He decided to explain everything to him including Erick and Elle. The three of them just listened to him.

”Yes, I was working for the Dark Knight Organization before. I was the one who created this bio-weapon. I had assistants. They got the formula I used to make those bio-weapons. They continued the operation even after I left the organization.”

”I'm on the run, escaping from the grasp of the Dark Knight. They needed me because I didn't get the formula for the antidote. They only had limited supplies of Antidotes.” Mr. Carter explained to them the reason why the Dark Knight still tried to catch him.

”Beatrice became my friend before. She's a chemist. She worked in the bio-weapon facility without knowing that what we were making there was actually a bio-weapon.”

Phantom was taken aback after hearing that. He knew that his wife was working at a laboratory facility before. It turned out the facility was owned by the Dark Knight Organization.

”We became friends. One time, I shared my troubles with her about my family. The Dark Knight was helping my family financially in exchange for my knowledge and ability. The Dark Lord made me believe that my family had forgotten me but he just manipulated everything.”

”Beatrice helped me learn the truth. My family stopped accepting money from the organization. They wanted me to return to them because they were missing me already. Because of that, I decided to quit my job. I confronted the Dark Lord about the truth. He refused to let me go and he threatened me that he would harm my family if I would not follow his orders.”

Elle squinted her eyes after hearing that. The Dark Knight was really evil. They would do anything for their gains. They didn't care about the lives of other people.

”I told Beatrice everything about the bio-weapon facility. I advised her to leave and stop working there so she resigned. I'm sorry Mr. Morgan. This happened because I asked her for help. We planned to bring down the organization by revealing the existence of the bio-weapon facility to the authority.”

Phantom was just trying his best not to go wild. He failed to protect his wife. He didn't know any of this. Beatrice never told him anything. Beatrice decided not to involve her husband because she knew that what she was about to do was too dangerous and risky.

” I gave her a sample of bio-weapon and an antidote. She showed them to the police. Beatrice became a whistleblower. We made a terrible mistake. I underestimate the Dark Knight's power and influence.” Mr. Carter gritted his teeth as he recalled everything.

”The Dark Knight has spies in the police department. So they learned everything, am I right?” It was Erick who spoke up.

Mr. carter closed his eyes and nodded his head. That was the sad truth. They didn't anticipate it.

”Because of that, the Dark Lord ordered to assassinate Beatrice and her family.” Mr. Carter said with a heavy heart.

The living room was engulfed by deafening silence after he said those words. Now, everything made sense now. Phantom realized many things after hearing this story from Mr. Carter.
