The masked man and his master were present, but they were bowing to her. Aren't they just creating more misunderstandings?The more Charlotte thought of this, the more anxious she felt, and she immediately tried to explain, "You all, don't—"She wasn't given a chance to complete her words because Collins waved his hands at her enthusiastically and interrupted her."You don't need to be polite, Charlotte. You have avenged my son and brought the perpetrator here. You are our family's greatest benefactor!"CREAK!CREAK!As soon as he finished speaking, Franklin emerged from the crowd, sweating profusely as he maneuvered his wheelchair.His hands were completely useless. His bones had been shattered, leaving him disabled and unable to exert any strength.But due to his ego, he refused help from the servants and wheeled himself out using the mechanical buttons on his high tech wheelchair.Seeing Kian's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but grin widely. "Thank you sister-in-law!"Charl

THUD!THUMP!THUD!THUMP!The sound of hurried footsteps rushing to carry out the order Roland Harrington issued out hit the ground. "Master, what are your orders? Just utter a word, and I'll get it done!" Roland Harrington swore in a fiercely loyal tone as he turned to Kian with a smile, not at all disgusted by his bloody and battered appearance.Kian remained silent, only nodding calmly. No one knew due to the mask that his face was sporting a strange expression at the moment. This old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family has been walking hard all day long and helping him out a lot.With him around, Kian could save time and effort. However, the latter couldn't help but wonder amusedly—what would be the reaction of this old man when he discovers his real identity?Kian's eyes squinted slightly at the eager Roland. Would the old man be so furious that he may drop dead on the spot? Haha!Humph! Who cares? He wasn't forced to do free labor. He simply chose to do it himself.

"Hey, you bastard! You can't wipe out our entire family!" Simon Smith suddenly spoke up, his voice quivering with agitation. "There are at least a hundred more minor families as powerful as ours!"The underlying meaning of his words were clear. One could come to a conclusion that Simon was saying even if their families are eradicated now, more families would still sprout up in their place. "With your reckless behaviour, are you not afraid of provoking other minor families to gang up against you?!" Simon's voice was filled with panic. At that very second, he was genuinely scared. Kian's eyes narrowed at him coldly. Without a word, he took a step forward and then another. As he approached Simon, the elderly man trembled. Fear etched on his wrinkled face and he instinctively started to back away. "I will compensate you! I'll pay any amount you want! Please spare me and my family! You want Garrett's coffin to be moved to my ancestral graveyard right?"Simon continued to retreat as he

More discussions like that continued throughout the entire district. Everyone was confused and wanted to know what the aristocratic Harrington's family and the masked man were up to.But no one was brave enough to defy the orders and step out of their house. They could only continue to speculate in the walls of their home. Time continued to tick away.Finally, at that point, a tall figure stood at the end of the major street in the Blackwood's District. In an instant, thousands of eyes from the streets and buildings alike focused on him.Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Kian, masked and dressed in a bloodstained all-black attire, walked down the empty streets slowly and steadily. His expression was calm, and he was flanked on both sides by two people.As the people peeking from the homes caught a clear view of the figure on his right side, a collective gasp echoed from several buildings.This was because the man was none other than the patriarch of the aristocratic Harrington's

"Fine," Kian nodded at the brave, young men who had spoken. "Give me one reason why your entire family shouldn't be punished, and I promise I will let you all go."Silence washed over the crowd. The youths exchanged a look. Is this man messing with them? Could he actually have meant what he just said? Will he really let them go?But before any of them could speak, Kian shrugged, "Time's up. None of you could say a word. I gave you your chance but you already missed it.""But...""But...""But..."Kian's cold eyes silenced the youths who tried to speak again. His amused demeanor completely faded as he pointed at them."The perpetrator of the crime was the patriarch of your family. He was the leader of the entire family. You all knew he was in the wrong, but none of us did anything to stop it!"Kian took a step towards them, causing hundreds of bodies to tremble and retreat backward hastily."Because of that, none of you hypocrites have any right to negotiate with me!"Kian's tone was c
