Akita Town Municipal Building, Mayor's Office.
Mayor Norman lay in a pool of blood, his body still warm.
Nearby, three more bodies lay on the floor—Norman's personal bodyguards.
They had all committed suicide.
They had used their own daggers to slit their throats, severing their carotid arteries. The gushing blood stained the office floor and furniture, leaving crimson splatters and sprays across the white walls.
Their expressions were calm, as if they had accepted their deaths without a fight.
This was highly unusual.
The experienced Zhou Chen took one look around the scene and quickly came to a conclusion. "The three bodyguards killed themselves first, then Norman picked up one of their daggers and did the same. They were all being controlled."
"Judging by the time of death, these murders happened at almost the exact same time you all were trying to kill me."
