BuzzNovelLogan grumbled, "Even if Mason did want Cillian dead, | think he would've done it quietly. There's no way he'd let
anyone find out."
Andrew's eyes darkened. "And that is the most critical part of this whole thing. Everyone knows that after Mason
took power, he was paranoid that Cillian might cback and reclaim the Ulrich family leadership. So, he
shoved his own father into a nursing hto keep him out of the way."
He continued, "But if Mason killed him directly? Then, the other Dragon Kings who were close to Cillian, like
Marcelo, would've stormed in here and taken his head. And look at what happened... Marcelo did show up. From
his reaction, it's clear that his bond with Cillian wasn't superficial."
Aspen tilted her head. "Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Keller... do you think maybe Marcelo's appearance was just for show? Like,
all that praying and mourning was staged?"
Andrew shook his head. "It doesn't add up. You both remember how | deliberately provoked Marcelo earlier,
right? If he had gone off onright then and there and attacked me, it would've proved he didn't care about
Cillian's passing at all. But he didn't. He held back and stayed respectful."
He added, "That tellseverything. His grief was real, and his connection to Cillian was genuine. He refused to
disturb the peace of the dead."
Logan stared in shock. "So you pissed him off on purpose... just to test him?"

where he stood. And yeah, Marcelo's strong. I'll admit... calling him 'the king of escorts’ might've been a bit
much."
Aspen giggled and reached out to gently touch her master's face. "Mr. Lloyd, please. You expectto believe
that? You're never scared of anyone! | know you too well."
Logan groaned. "Alright, fine. So you've ruled out Marcelo as Mason's co- conspirator. But what if there's no one
else? What if we're just overthinking it?"
Andrew was firm. "No. There's definitely someone else involved. This entire setup was too calculated to be
Mason's solo work. Someone else planned it from the shadows
and used Mason as the dows
pawn to get tome.
"Otherwise, Mason would never dare turn on me. I'm the one who put him in
charge, and he knows | could crush him with a snap of my fingers."
Logan nodded. "That makes sense. So, what's our next move?"
Andrew said calmly, "That's easy. We wait for the banquet to start. That's when the Ulrich family will
have the most people and be then et
