Mr. Jimenez surveyed the room and stated, “Clarissa accused me of fleeing and claimed she did not pursue me. She even alleged that I killed the head of the family. However, I have witnesses who can confirm that I was indeed being chased. They can also testify that my pursuer was a killer sent by Clarissa. The person who rescued me that day is present tonight to serve as a witness.”
He then turned to Silver Fox and the others standing behind him. “These are my saviors. Without them, I would have been dead long ago.”
Clarissa suddenly laughed mockingly and retorted, “Mr. Jimenez, you refer to them as your saviors, but how reliable are they? Who’s to say that Audrey didn’t hire them to act?”
“You continue to accuse me of murdering my sisters. Why not have them confront me? If the victims themselves haven’t accused me, how could it possibly be true?”
Clarissa’s remarks prompted odd glances from everyone, even her own family appeared taken aback.
Her sisters had been deceased for decades, yet she was requesting a confrontation with them. How could she have maintained her power for 40 to 50 years if her sisters had come forward?
After reviewing the evidence presented by Mr. Jimenez, while it wasn’t absolutely conclusive, it became increasingly evident that Clarissa was the true murderer of her sisters. She appeared unstable.

Zachary spoke seriously, “The individuals who rescued our grandfather Jimenez are not just anyone. They are the Five Emperors, influential figures in both the legal and criminal realms for decades. Except for one elder who had to attend to his grandson, the other four are present.”
“Dr. Carden is a disciple of one of them. Many of you are familiar with Dr. Carden’s name. Additionally, the wife of the head of the Lafayette family is not only from the Stoll family but also a disciple of Mr. Dakota.”
After Zachary’s remarks, the crowd was stunned, and they turned to look at Ezequiel (Silver Fox) and the others, clearly astonished at the revelations.
It was hard to believe that they were the legendary Five Emperors, who had been renowned in martial arts circles decades ago. The younger attendees were largely unfamiliar with them, but the older generation had heard of the Five Emperors from their ancestors. Clarissa, who belonged to the same era, was well-acquainted with their legacy. Coming from the Farrell family, where the eldest daughter serves as the head, she stepped in for her sister when her health declined. She had certainly heard of the Five Emperors and their formidable skills.
The Five Emperors had seemingly vanished years ago, believed to have retired without marrying or having known descendants. However, in recent years, with the emergence of Sariyah and Lilian, people began to recall the Five Emperors, discovering that they had taken on successors to pass down their techniques. Over time, the Five Emperors Hall had become increasingly enigmatic. Many speculated that the organization no longer existed. Yet, it has now been revealed that the Five Emperors are still alive, appearing to be in their sixties or seventies, and in remarkable shape.
If they had rescued Mr. Jimenez, it would explain why the Farrell family had been unable to locate him for decades. Despite the Farrell family’s increased strength, they still paled in comparison to the Five Emperors Hall, which had long dominated the martial arts world. Not even powerful families like the Buchams or Lafayettes could stand against them. In the presence of the Five Emperors, these influential families seemed like mere small players.
Clarissa scoffed, “Mr. York, how can you prove they are genuinely the Five Emperors? Who among us knows them well enough to confirm their identities?”
