Chapter 1896

Matthew was startled. "W-What went missing?"

"Falconn's body," Melvin replied. "My men found the location where the Damrons had been ambushed last night, but the Damrons are already there. They're looking everywhere for Falconn's body right now."

"The body went missing?" Matthew repeated. "How's that possible? He's dead. Why would anyone take his body away? What do they want to do with his body? Who'd do such a thing?"

Melvin shrugged. He couldn't figure it out either.

After mulling it over in silence, Matthew stood up. "Where were they ambushed?"
