"Hmm, lift it up," Kian nodded calmly. A flicker of hope appeared on their faces, and they heaved a sigh of relief. They quickly got up on their feet, although shakily. After catching their breath, they bent with great difficulty in order to lift the coffin. Even Collins Faye, whose legs were shaky and bloody, joined them.However, his son, Franklin, couldn't do anything useful either, as his legs were already completely useless. CREAK!The dark coffin squeaked loudly as if in protest as it was finally raised. The people lifting it gritted their teeth painfully and carefully moved it out of the grave pit. However, because they had knelt and dug for too long, some of them were already weary, particularly Collins Faye. Their other relatives watched in horror as the coffin began to sway from side to side!The weakest among them, Collins Simon, was knocked over In the process, he fell over his crippled son, who was still sitting on the ground. They cried out loud as they both tumbled

Kian inhaled deeply, snapping back to reality as he looked up at the crowd. At that moment, the expressions on the faces of the aristocratic Harrington's family members were serious. The others from the three minor families looked absolutely terrified! In quest for revenge, this derailed masked man has taken numerous reckless actions.Now that the coffin was empty and Garrett's body had mysteriously vanished, what would he do next? Would he completely burn down the entire district just to find the missing corpse?Everyone was filled with dread of what was to come. Charlotte Lane, Collins Faye, his son Franklin Faye, and Archer Hall felt a deeper sense of despair.As a matter of fact, the father and son duo began to wish the coffin had fallen back and crushed them to death in the grave pit. Then they wouldn't have to face the wrath of this masked man.The four of them were disheartened. They weren't involved in the disappearance of Garrett's body, but how would they explain it without

The journey to the estate went smoothly and uninterrupted. After passing through the grand entrance of the estate and the alarming number of guards stationed there, the car drove around the estate for about thirty minutes before it came to a stop in front of an opulent house that looked similar to a château."Please, follow me," Roland Harrington smiled brightly as he led the two young men out of the car and into the house.As they walked through the entrance, dozens of curious eyes rested on Kian and Wesley. There were more than a dozen women and children dressed sophisticatedly.Kian casually glanced around, and his brows arched when he saw two familiar faces, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. "These are all the direct descendants of my Harrington's family," Roland Harrington introduced them with a warm smile.But when the old man turned to his family, his smile faded slightly. "Aren't you going to greet the young master and his companion, the new leader of th

"Ugh!"Jerry let out a muffled groan as he clutched his stomach painfully and staggered a few steps backward. He looked up at Roland Harrington in shock.Not only him, but the remaining members of the aristocratic Harrington's family were utterly dumbfounded. "If anyone dares to plead for this spoiled brat again..." Roland's thunderous voice sent chills down everyone's spines. "—will face my wrath and repent in the ancestral hall!"They shuddered at his words. Jerry's face twitched. His facial expression was grim, but he dared not say anything. All the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family know what would happen if one is sent to repent in the ancestral hall. The person would be scalded by the torturous punishments behind that door for life!At this point, everyone could see it clearly that Roland was very furious. What had angered him like this was a mystery.By now, Harry was now covered all over with the prints of a shoe. His face was bloodied and looked absolutely mise

"From my knowledge, a few other distinguished figures will be attending. Even some people from the aristocratic Blackwood's family..."The members of the aristocratic Harrington's family also exchanged a look among themselves. Some guests from the Blackwood's family would also be in attendance?One could guess the high status they would have to be considered distinguished guests of the Blackwood's family. None of them doubted Roland Harrington's words. After all, he wouldn't say such things lightly to just anybody.Older members like Jerry immediately sensed that there must be a hidden purpose behind Roland's words. It was as if he was trying to test the waters.While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, no one noticed the cunning old man, Roland, sporting a mischievous smile on his lips.He indeed had a purpose for using the aristocratic Blackwood's family as a bait to attract Kian and Wesley. On the other hand, Kian was shaking with excitement. What if one or even those so-calle
