The video suddenly stopped at the heart-wrenching moment. Therefore, no one saw Mr. Kason jump into the lake to save people. They only saw Mr. Baron threaten Mr. Kason by killing Pablo.
Then it went black.
The islanders were all filled with indignation and wanted to go to the hunting ground to catch Baron. And the elders hurriedly asked the guards to go there to protect Pablo. But they were still worried and wanted to go there personally. However, they were too old to ride. They could only pace back and forth anxiously.
Even if Baron succeeded, he wouldn't be the patriarch.
All the islanders witnessed this, so they won't allow a man who killed his brother to be the patriarch.
Although Pablo was a gentle patriarch, he was much more amiable and approachable than Kason. More importantly, Pablo was kind.
If it was in the past, Pablo would never be the patriarch. He would die in the fight.
But now, there were only three descendants in the Addison family. Among them, Kason was disabled and could not walk. He couldn't be the patriarch. Baron wanted to kill his brother. He couldn't be the patriarch, either. If something happened to Pablo, it would be tricky.
It would be much better if Pablo had sons. However, Pablo didn't want to get married at all. Baron had two wives, but Pablo still said that he had not met his Mrs. Right.
The Elders were too anxious and were overwhelmed by all kinds of possibilities. What should they do if something happened to Baron? Or how to deal with Baron and appease the islanders if Baron came back with Pablo's corpse.
It was noisy. Some of the islanders rushed into the hunting ground with weapons. The women and children knelt down and prayed devoutly. Some even ran to the High Priest and the Goddess, begging them to protect Pablo.
Everyone was panic, except the High Priest and the Goddess. They were still looking into the distance calmly. It looked as if they were waiting for the people to come out of the hunting ground.
Not long after, they returned. Zack, who wore a mask, came back on a horse with a man who was shot. Because of the distance, everyone thought that it was Pablo. They immediately surrounded Zack.
"How dare you, Mr. Baron!"
"How is Pablo?"
"Is Pablo alright?"
"Where's the medical doctor? Hurry and check Pablo!"
The elders ordered someone to invite the medicine doctor over. They went out for hunt, so there was a bonfire at night and all the tents were set up. As soon as Zack's horse stopped, the Elders ordered him to take the person into the tent. Then everyone found that it wasn't Pablo.
The islanders and the elders were stunned and then relieved. But they felt that something was wrong. Pablo was almost killed. Why was Baron hurt?
"Where is Pablo?" The First Elder and Third Elder asked Zack.
"He is fine."
The First Elder sighed in relief, "That's good."
The Second Elder saw people's reaction from a distance and came over too. Baron was pale, with his eyes closed. There was also an arrow stuck in his chest. The arrow pierced through his armor and his white robe was bloody.
"Baron!" He shouted. Then he shouted again, "Where's the medicine doctor?"
The medicine doctor had already prepared the medicine box and hurried here with his disciples. He was not as surprised as the others to see Baron. It looked as if he already knew that Baron was hurt. He just entered the tent with his medicine box calmly.
"Put him on the bed first. Prepare some hot water, fire and towels!" The medicine doctor said.
Someone went out to prepare.
On the other hand, the elders called Zack over and questioned him. Zack told them everything he saw. He shook his head if he didn't know. He didn't know how Mr. Baron was injured.
"Aren't you with him? How can you don't know?" asked one of the elders.
Zack did not say a word. The elders knew that although he was good at martial arts, he was dull and stiff. After they could not get anything out of him, they asked someone to tie him up. They planned to punish him and Baron after Pablo returned.
However, Baron was injured. So his punishment would not be hard. Only Zack would be severely punished.
Thus, the attendants looked at Zack as if he was dead.
Even though Zack was tied up, he knelt down straight. He lowered his head. No one could see his face because of the mask, but they guessed that he was thinking of asking Mr. Baron for help. After all, he was Mr. Baron's right hand.
But the attendants all avoided him as they passed by, as if he was an ominous person who was about to die.
On the other side, Pablo finally came out of the hunting ground on a horse. He was carrying a person in his arms, whose white robe was bloody. It was Mr. Kason!
If Emily hadn't fallen into the water, Vincent's plan would have been perfect. But he jumped into the lake, and his disguise in the past few months was exposed.
It was also exposed that everything he had done was fake, including his injuries.
