The young man's name was Logan Tyler, and he was only a year younger than Logan James. At his father's funeral, James saw this dazzling figure for the first time. He stood tall and proud, as if all the spotlights were shining on him. He came with a disdainful attitude and took away everything that Logan Robert had worked hard to create with his domineering manner. All of this was because of one sentence from the Logan family.
If James and his mother Emily did not hand over the family property to the Logan family to manage, they would both die. The Logan family was so overbearing. Logan Robert's lifetime of hard work was stripped away, and Logan Tyler gave Emily a small business worth less than a million, calling it a living expense for raising a bastard.
His Logan family was so kind. Ironically, on the day of the funeral, James's name was crossed out from the family register, and he was no longer a descendant of the Logan family in Lansing. This was a big blow to Emily, as her husband had worked hard all his life just to clear their son's name, but ended up with such a fate.
Within two years, Emily fell seriously ill and passed away. During those two years, she started from real estate and became known as a female powerhouse, but James knew that his mother only wanted to protect him.
However, how could the powerful Lloyd family be shaken by a company worth billions? After his mother's death, the company was once again taken back by the Logan family, as it was originally invested by them.
James, disheartened, did not stay in Sitka and came to Michigan. He thought he would live like this for the rest of his life. But he knew that his existence was a disgrace to the Logan family.
In that year, he married into another family, and Logan Tyler somehow found out and accused him of tarnishing the Logan family's reputation, making them a laughingstock among the wealthy families in Lansing, and ordered him to leave Sitka. If James continued to stay there, his entire family would disappear. All of this was just for the ridiculous fame of the Logan family.
This was also the reason why James joined the army, either because he was threatened or because he wanted to prove himself. Perhaps it was fate, or maybe it was just as Emily had said: she and Robert's son were not useless.
In three years, James became the youngest five-star general in Texas, and in five years, he had achieved everything he could in the military and was given the title of "Military Master".
"Master, what should we do next?" Freya's words brought James back to reality. Since his wife was not in the coffin, there was a high probability that she was still alive.
However, Freya couldn't understand why someone would go to such great lengths to fake his wife's death.
"Investigate!" James said with a murderous look in his eyes.
"If Mary is unharmed, these people can still live. But if Mary is even slightly injured, I will exterminate their entire family!" James's words were not a joke. Whether it was the Logan family or anyone else, harming Mary was not acceptable.
James took a deep breath. He knew that this matter was not simple. If it were simple, the Hill family would not dare to say who had harmed Mary. The head of the Hill family might understand that James would only kill those involved, but the person hiding behind them might wipe out the entire Hill family.
Not to mention others, if it was really the Logan family who did this, they were capable of such things.
"Besides following the clues, investigate the movements of the Logan family thoroughly. If anyone has come to Michigan before or after Mary's incident, bring them to me."
"The Logan family in Lansing?" Freyaasked in a low voice, with a look of confusion on her face.
The Logan family in Lansing was a force to be reckoned with, with both strength and influence that were not inferior to the Military Master. Why did the Military Master want to investigate them?
Freya looked at James with some confusion, but James just nodded.
"Yes."
After James finished speaking, he added, "Let Vermillion Bird Camp investigate this matter with all their might, at any cost!"
"But..."
Freya hesitated for a moment, "You know, big clans like this don't like people investigating, our actions may anger..."
"Then let them be angry."
James waved his hand. Six years ago, he did fear the Logan family and could only let them manipulate him.
But it's not six years ago anymore.
If it weren't for his promise to Emily not to enter Lansing for ten years before she died, he would have gone to Lansing to seek justice from the Logan family long ago.
"Understood, Commander."
Freya didn't say much.
Although the Logan family is huge and has been a ancient clan for thousands of years, what can they do?
As the commander now, there is nothing to fear, it's just a bit troublesome.
"Okay."
James looked at the closed coffin and urged again, "Hurry up."
It has been more than a week since Mary disappeared, and he was afraid that she might have been harmed.
"By the way, investigate the girl in the coffin and come with me tomorrow to pay her a visit. Everything she has suffered is ultimately related to me."
James's eyes showed a hint of guilt. All of this may have been directed at him, but this girl became Mary's substitute.
In the final analysis, he should make up for something, even if the deceased is already gone.
"Understood."
Freya quickly began to investigate the matter, while James drove towards his uncle's house. He wanted to see if Mary had left any clues in the room or if anyone in the family knew of her whereabouts. As she was buried by the family, her identity should have been confirmed before the burial.
At the Dragon and Phoenix Villa, at the foot of the mountain, Smith Chad sat on the sofa with a gloomy face. On the table was a mobile phone, which was on speakerphone, with Jay's voice coming from inside.
"Chad, are you sure you want to shelter that useless thing?" Jay's voice was irritating.
"If you force me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will announce to everyone in Michigan that you and James have been expelled from the family and will no longer be recorded in the family tree!"
Listening to the annoying voice from the phone, Chad took a sip of tea.
"How many times do I have to tell you that James won't take your shabby villa? Also, the family tree is not decided by you, the third son. As for the expulsion, you can expel whoever you want. It's not like anyone wants to stay anyway."
"Fine!" Jay bit his words.
"Chad, you can continue to be tough, but don't forget that all your money comes from the family. If my support is gone, your small company won't even be able to pay salaries."
"Give you three seconds to consider. Either let James bring the property certificate and apologize to my future son-in-law, or..."
"No need to consider. Like I said, you do what you want." Chad hung up the phone directly. He was already tired of wasting his breath on jay, a fool like him.
"What kind of courage does Jay have to think that James would take his family's property certificate?" Just as Chad raised his head, he saw James walking in from the door.
"Uncle, I heard you arguing with someone just now, is there something wrong?" James asked.
Chad glanced at James and grunted, "It's none of your business, you don't have to worry about it."
"What about you? Why did you come here again?"
