“…Who are you? Did Yael send you here?” asked Jasmine in a rather doubtful tone. Though night had come, the headlights from all the cars were bright enough for those within Jasmine’s group to see how imposingly solemn the bodyguards looked as they stood behind their leader. It was clear that these bodyguards had received only the strictest of training, and from what Jasmine knew, only a few large families could afford to hire such powerful bodyguards. What more, it was already so late yet the men had arrived with such grandeur. How couldn’t they be Yael’s subordinates? Knowing that only served to amplify Jasmine and the others’ anxiety as they stood close to each other in preparation to either attack or run. “Humph. Yael? Who the hell is that?” sneered the young man of a leader before adding, “I was ordered by my master to transport you away from danger, Miss Fenderson. I hope that you’ll cooperate since we really don’t have much time to spare. Come with us.” “This master of

The entire yard was filled with corpses regardless of gender! As if the horrific scene wasn’t enough, the heavy rain had caused the yard to stagnate with a strikingly crimson liquid… Shaking in utter fear, another flash of lightning notified the servant of the presence of someone else in the yard… His eyes had already adjusted to the darkness by now, so when the servant turned to look at the person standing in the middle of the yard with an umbrella in hand, he swore on his life that he had just seen a demon in the flesh. As the demon of a man turned to look at him, the servant became petrified in place, unable to even move his legs even though the demon—who had his other hand in his pocket—was now walking toward him. In fact, he was so terrified that he couldn’t even let out the tiniest whimper. After what seemed like forever, the servant was surprised to see that the horrifying person had quite a handsome face. However, his surprise turned to fear again the moment he real

Almost instantly after, the sounds of wine glasses and plates clattering against each other could be heard. When everyone turned to look at who was causing the racket, they saw that Berk, Noah, and Yael were all holding on to the table as they shivered tremendously in horror! They had reason to be this terrified. After all, all three of them were aware of how mighty the Moldells were. Yet Gerald had just taken four of them out, right before their very eyes! As Gerald took a step forward, Berk immediately fell to the ground, shouting, “P-please don’t kill me, Gerald! Spare me, please!” The over two hundred pound, brawny man was currently so terrified that mucous was dripping all the way down to his chin. “Spare you? It was six months ago when I fled to the Salford Province you know? I had over thirty brothers and now none of them are alive because of your men. They were all my friends from Mayberry! Why didn’t you spare them then?” said Gerald terrifyingly calmly as he patted

And something important it was. Knowing full well that the Fenderson family had almost been wiped out due to his carelessness, Bryson was going to take responsibility for the incident no matter what. After things calmed down a bit, Bryson thought about how they were nearly eliminated by a vassal family. If all that could happen under his rule, then he admitted that he was getting old and unreliable. The fact that he couldn’t defend himself without help was further proof that it was finally time for change. It explained why the mood of the Fenderson family meeting this time was so different. Everyone had their heads lowered as they waited for Bryson to speak. Coughing to break the silence and get everyone’s attention, Bryson cleared his throat before saying, “I… have some very important news to announce today… This announcement will also be the very last decision that I’ll make as the head of this family!” Hearing that, everyone lifted their heads as they looked at the old man.

As the muffled wailing of ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance, Mindy found herself slowly losing consciousness. “…San…derson…” Meanwhile, a young man sitting inside an express train clutched his chest all of a sudden as he shuddered. “What’s wrong?” asked a girl sitting close to him out of concern. “…It’s nothing. My heart just felt tight all of a sudden… The feeling’s gone now, though. How odd…” replied the man with a wry smile on his face. He then turned to look at the girl before saying, “Speaking of which, here, you can have this. Once you settle down in Mayberry and get a job there, together with the money in this card, you should be able to live easy for the rest of your life!” As he said that, he handed a bank card over to the girl. “I can’t take this, Gerald! As long as I manage to land a job, my life will already be pretty manageable! You, on the other hand, definitely need the money more than I do!” replied the girl as she immediately returned the ca
