It was already late in the morning, but no one in Hopeland City could sleep. The shouts, footsteps, and armor clashing coming from all directions were so obvious and clear.

Several bell towers in the city rang out, warning red fireworks bloomed in the sky, and teams holding torches marched through the streets, followed by sounds of fighting, insults, and dull breaking sounds.

Ordinary people with limited financial resources can only lock the front door, block the windows and doors, hide at home and pray, hoping not to be affected.

In the first half of the night, some hooligans took advantage of the chaotic public security and made trouble, breaking into houses and robbing several shops, taking away a lot of valuables.

But as personnel from the five major chambers of commerce began to establish checkpoints throughout the city, any thugs caught robbing or raping would be attacked and murdered with swords and spears. Troubled times call for harsh punishments, and now there were no extra personnel to detain these pests, so this was a perfect opportunity to make an example of them and deter the rest of the world.

Near the Nisos family winery, Manda was sitting in a yard with several of his younger brothers. There was a big table in the yard with several roasted chickens and wine bottles on it. Several people were eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls.

"Boss, there's such a big noise outside, could something big have happened?" One of the tall and thin brothers asked while chewing on chicken.

"What do you know? The bigger the better." Manda picked up a chicken leg and threw it into his mouth, his mouth full of oil.

"If we kill a youngster normally, and the person is somewhat famous, then the industry association will track him down, which will be troublesome after all."

"But now, who cares how many people die tonight? Aren't we happy to get a lot of money from the Nisos family for free?"

After saying that, he tossed the few gold coins in his hand with a bit of pride. For ordinary people, this was a huge sum of money. It would take five or six years of working in a workshop without eating or drinking to earn this much money, but he got it in one night. How could he not be happy?

Besides, no matter how big the noise is, their backers are the Nisos family, a prestigious family that has been rooted in Hopeland for hundreds of years. Who would dare to touch them?

"You are indeed the boss, you are smarter than us. I'll toast to you. Cheers!"

One of the younger brothers quickly flattered him, and the others followed suit, raising their bottles.

"Dry!"

Manda raised the bottle, clinked it, and drank it down in one gulp. They were rough people and never used those small wine glasses.

Bang--

With a loud bang, the gate of the yard was kicked open. With a cloud of dust, the thick wooden door was kicked far away before falling to the ground.

“Who is it?”

"Don't want to live anymore?"

The drinkers slammed the table, stood up, and picked up the weapons beside them.

A dark shadow stood at the gate of the yard, with a cloth covering its face, and it was unclear under the dim night sky.

"Are you looking for trouble?"

When Manda saw that there was only one person, his originally nervous heart suddenly became furious and he picked up the iron rod at his feet.

The iron rod was made of scrap iron, with a few nails inlaid crookedly. It was thick at the front and thin at the back, probably a mace.

Although it looks ugly, its strong weight is enough to break human bones with one blow. There are also some dried blood stains on this scrap iron mace.

Bud looked at the people eating, drinking and enjoying themselves in the courtyard, with an evil fire burning in his heart. When he saw the blood on the mace, he couldn't help but clench his fists, making a clucking sound.

“Ahhhh!”

He shouted, also to give himself courage, and rushed in. Fear and anger burned in his heart like chewed ice, so intense and cold.

"Where did this fool come from?"

When some of the younger brothers saw him shouting, they knew that this was a sign of lack of confidence, so they spat at him in mockery and picked up a few weapons to attack him.

A wooden chair half the height of a person fell on his head, making him see stars. Then several iron rods hit his shoulders, stabbed his abdomen, and hit his chest.

Others kicked his calves, trying to make him fall to his knees.

The intense pain made the boy dazed for a moment, but the fear in his heart slowly disappeared.

It turns out that this is the extent of it.

Although his body was in pain, it was not unbearable. As his heart beat slowly in his chest, he could clearly feel his blood flowing and the powerful force contained in his blood.

A sense of enlightenment gradually arose in his heart. This was the feeling of having power. It was so wonderful. No wonder countless people yearned for it and couldn't sleep all night.

The enemies that he once thought were invincible now seemed like weak ants in his eyes.

He stretched out a hand, grabbed an iron bar, let the wooden chair fall on his head, and then watched the wooden chair fall apart and slide over his head.

One of the younger brothers tried to pull the iron rod back, but found that it was as if it was welded by pliers and could not move at all.

Bud casually pulled over the younger brother holding the iron rod, kicked him in the leg, broke his leg bones, made him kneel on the ground, and then picked up the iron rod and hit his knees.

Click——

The iron rod broke into two pieces, and several fragments flew out.

Seeing the shocking scene, the younger brothers present were all shocked, and even Manda was a little hesitant.

Bud stared at the people present with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to remember these faces firmly, and said through gritted teeth.

"You are unforgivable and must all die!"

This group of people have been doing evil for a long time. At first, they just stole some things, but later they gradually tasted the sweetness and became more and more daring. They robbed others of their money, beat and tortured them, and recently they even started to do bloody business.

The tragic scene before Gretchen's death echoed in Bud's mind. He spared these people, but who could spare Gretchen?
