Chapter 516 Death Penalty! After entering the royal city, the Golden Lion Knights split into two groups. The remaining members, who could surround the Peyton family, dispersed to search for the Peyton family's royal city properties.
The three knightly orders entered the royal city, and upon entering the eastern district, the nobles living there were dumbfounded.
No one expected that a fully armed knightly order would enter the royal city.
They arrived in the noble's eastern district unscathed!
Are those imperial guards who are defending the city all idiots?!
But the nobles in the East District observed carefully and discovered...
Aren't these the three great knightly orders of the Gray family?!
Those among the nobles who were quick-witted immediately thought of a possibility.
Could they be here to settle scores?!
Ignoring the strange and fearful looks from those around them, Granville, Adrian, and Erwin headed straight for their target.
...
In the past six months, the Peyton family has swallowed up many of the Grey family's shops in the capital, making a fortune.
The head of the Peyton family not only renovated the entire Peyton estate, but also purchased many high-class slaves for his own enjoyment.
Just as Julian Peyton, the head of the Peyton family, was playing blindfolded hide-and-seek with a dozen women.
A loud, trembling shout interrupted Julian's interest.
"Master! Master!! Something terrible has happened!"
"The Knights have surrounded our entire Peyton family!"
"The guard at the gate was killed with a single blow as soon as he went out. I took advantage of the moment the gate opened to see that the knights' armor was marked with a red lion's mark!"
Upon hearing this, Julian immediately tore off the red veil covering his eyes, and despite the warm spring weather, he felt a chill.
The red... lion's mark...
Julian shivered.
It's...it's the Lion Knights, known for their bloodshed!
Why are they back?!
Julian took a deep breath and quickly walked out of the room.
He comforted the butler who was anxiously waiting at the door.
"Don't...don't panic, we...we're not afraid. Even if the head of the Gray family comes, we'll reason with him!"
Julian calmed himself down, secretly relieved that he had a backup plan.
That means the businesses owned by the Gray family patriarch within the royal city were won legitimately through business warfare, and even if Fred came, he would have to acknowledge it!
Although he used some underhanded tricks, if he didn't say anything, who would know?
Julian, accompanied by his butler, jogged all the way to the family's front yard.
At this moment, in the front yard of the Peyton family, several hundred family guards were trembling as they held their spears to the family's walls.
They were terrified that the knights outside the family would break through the walls and enter at any moment.
When the guards saw their patriarch arrive at the front yard, they felt a little more at ease, but their hands holding the spears still trembled uncontrollably.
Just as Julian arrived at the front yard, above the Peyton family's residence, Renn appeared and slowly spoke.
"The Peyton family, with their wolfish ambitions, took advantage of the Gray family's crisis to annex twenty-three of the Gray family's properties."
"This has caused my Gray family to suffer a direct and indirect loss of five million gold coins."
"Even more serious is that seventeen members of the Gray family died at the hands of the Peyton family, in a brutal and heinous manner."
"I, Renn, hereby sentence the Peyton family to death!"
Raine's voice resounded throughout the eastern part of the royal city, echoing in the ears of every nobleman.
The voice was like a death knell from the god of death, clinging tightly to the ears of the family patriarchs who had once taken advantage of the Gray family.
