Chapter 509: Chapter 509

"Back then, I gave false testimony!" Walter Coleman lowered his head in guilt, murmuring, "The one who murdered the madam and young lady was not Tristan Quinn, but... it was Nyx!

Serena Everett’s beautiful upturned fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, with confusion clouding them.

She had never heard of this person before...

But Winston Winslow’s expression changed the instant he heard the name, incredulously saying, "What did you say?!"

"Nyx was dead long ago, how could..."

Walter Coleman shook his head in bewilderment, "That... I don’t know about that! But, when the madam and the young lady were murdered back then, I heard screams, and when I rushed to the room, the person I saw was Nyx!"

At this point, Walter Coleman paused, his face showing deep guilt.

"He made me pin all of this on Tristan Quinn. Nyx threatened me; if I didn’t agree, he said he would make sure my entire family was wiped out without a trace!

But if I did as he said, he would give me five million! At that time, my son had accrued enormous gambling debts that I couldn’t pay off, and the creditors said if he couldn’t pay up, they’d take my son’s life... I was truly helpless... so I did this thing against my conscience!"

"Sir, I’m sorry... not a moment goes by all these years that I don’t regret it, I shouldn’t have given false testimony! After I used that money to pay off my son’s debts, not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more reckless with gambling, and eventually got beaten to death at the casino..."

"My wife couldn’t take it, her health deteriorated, and two years ago, she passed away, and I now have a terminal illness, with not long to live... I suppose this is all my comeuppance!"

"It was him... it was actually him who killed my wife and daughter..."

Listening to these truths, Winston Winslow nearly stumbled; if Lucas Laine hadn’t caught him in time, he might have fallen to the ground.

Serena hurried forward, wanting to check his pulse out of concern, but Winston Winslow stopped her.

Serena could only suppress the worry in her heart and asked in confusion, "Master, who on earth is Nyx?!"

Upon hearing this, Winston Winslow closed his eyes, a pained expression on his aged face.

A moment later, he slowly began to speak.

"Nyx was one of the most outstanding top scientists of our generation. I met him by chance during an experimental study, and because our goals aligned, we became the best of brothers!

Not long after, he invited me to work with him on a most magnificent experiment, one that, if successful, would surely benefit society immensely. In my youth, filled with passion, I readily agreed!

But I never expected that as the research progressed, Nyx became more and more mad, eventually starting to use humans as subjects. I felt it was too cruel, fought heatedly with him, and then withdrew from the research."

"After leaving Xylos, I met your lady master, and we quickly married and had a daughter. It was then that I received the news—Nyx had died!"

"After his death, his insane experimental study was forcibly stopped!"

Winston Winslow’s face was full of grief and confusion, "Nyx held a grudge against me, killing my wife and daughter in revenge, but why did he frame Tristan Quinn as the murderer?"

"Perhaps for revenge."

Damian Quinn suddenly spoke, his eyes dark and deep.

"My father was the one who destroyed his experimental research!"
