A few minutes later, Yuan arrived back at the Pinebrook village on his flying sword. He kept himself at a high altitude, ensuring his presence remained unnoticed, appearing to others as nothing more than a distant dot against the sky. "Let's find a suitable spot to dispose of Peter and Henry's bodies," Yuan muttered contemplatively as he peered down from his elevated vantage point. Utilizing his divine sense, Yuan scanned the village for an inconspicuous location where the corpses could be left,…

Yuan's gaze remained locked onto Peter's lifeless body, his eyes devoid of emotion or remorse. The severed head continued to tremble on the ground, the horrific scene painted with the stark contrast of warm blood dripping from Yuan's massive sword, forming a small pool on the earth.

"Gasp!" The Monroe family, along with their few servants, were left speechless, witnessing Yuan step onto the massive sword that was hovering in the air, carrying both Henry and Peter with both hands.

"M-Madam Layla, please forgive the young master. He doesn't mean it in that way or anything. He is just confused because of the heartbreak. I hope you understand it and forgive the young master..." Peter suddenly bowed and pleaded with Madam Layla to forgive Henry for his insolence. Peter thought that if he were to beg Madam Layla to forgive Henry, there is a high chance that she will do so considering the friendship between her husband and Henry's father. "Forgive him?" Madam Layla shot a stern…

Rose frowned upon hearing Henry's servant's vicious words, surprised by his disrespectful behavior towards her as the acting village head. "Cruel? Me? Are you making a joke here? And how dare you talk to me with that tone? You're just a lowly servant of that idiot, know your place!"
