In the video was the translucent figure of an old man. It was the Chief of the Mu Guang Pavilion, who had infiltrated the Nicholas family and was killed by Romo in the ancestral hall!
This video had been recorded by Romo when he was interrogating the Chief!
“I… I’m the Chief of the Mu Guang Pavilion. The four large family clans of the Holy Light City had commissioned the Mu Guang Pavilion to assassinate the clansmen of the Nicholas family. The four family heads had personally contacted the Mu Guang Pavilion. The time, place, and remuneration had all come from them. They had given us a lot of information, including…”
As the recording was played, the voice of the Chief spread throughout the city. From the first sentence, the entire Holy Light City almost exploded. Later on, it became more and more intense, and the entire city was in an uproar!!
Previously, when the news of the Chief of the Mu Guang Pavilion ambushing the Nicholas family members had spread, people had guessed that it might have something to do with the four large family clans of the Holy Light City, but they could only speculate and had no evidence.
And now, the evidence was really in front of them! At first, some people also wondered if the video was fake. However, as the Chief explained more and more details, corresponding clues could be found in many areas, especially by those who were knowledgeable and well-informed. They had already confirmed that this was most likely true!!
As the City Lord of the Holy Light City, Diaze naturally knew a lot of information. At this moment, he was also certain about the authenticity of this video.
Originally, even if the four large family clans had hired assassins to assassinate the Nicholas family members or even personally dealt with the Nicholas family in secret, as long as there was no real evidence, it would be fine even if outsiders knew about it.
There was no such thing as an open and aboveboard contest between powers. Everyone knew that the winner would be the king and the loser would be the bandit.
However, if their sinister actions were exposed, it would be a different matter. For example, now, the Nicholas family had used this as an excuse to find and settle scores with the four large family clans. Even the nobles could no longer intervene and side with the four large family clans!
As for those who were originally neutral and might help the four large family clans for the sake of benefits, they would also not intervene now!
If Romo could attack without restraint now, he would not have to do these superficial things. He would not even have to care about the face of the nobles. He would just destroy the four large family clans.
In this world where the strong reigned, although there were laws and reasons, if one was powerful enough, one could ignore these things!
Since the strength of the Nicholas family clan had not reached this level yet, it was best to follow the procedures first.
Norton looked at Diaze, whose expression was a little dark, and said again, “City Lord, today, our Nicholas family clan wants to settle our scores with the four large family clans. Please grant us our wish.”
Diaze was furious, not at the Nicholas family but at the four large family clans. It was not that he was righteous, but that the four large family clans had colluded with the Mu Guang Pavilion. This was a serious crime!
The Mu Guang Pavilion was an evil organization that the nobles had been hunting down with all their might, but the four large family clans had colluded with them. This was almost equivalent to slapping the nobles in the face!
If it had not been for the Nicholas family’s current matter, Diaze would have reprimanded the four family clans on the spot.
Diaze said with a dark expression, “I can not intervene in your feud, but you must not implicate the innocent!”
Norton smiled and said, “Of course. Don’t worry, Diaze. Every injustice has its perpetrator. We won’t implicate the innocent.”
His words were also a hint to the others to mind their own business!
Diaze glanced at the four family clans and snorted. He flicked his sleeve and retreated hundreds of meters, indicating that he would only watch from the side now.
Norton looked at the Treis family clan. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he said coldly, “Four family heads, come out and speak!!”
“Norton, you shameless person! Don’t slander our Jeffrey family!
“How dare you, Norton! Who gave you the guts to slander the Adrian family!”
“Do you think a mere fabricated video can vilify me?! If you don’t make things clear today, don’t even think I’ll let the matter rest! We have not even finished settling the scores with the Nicholas family for harming the descendants of the Treis family, and now you actually want to bite us back. Do you really think the Treis family clan is easy to bully?!”
Several scalding shouts sounded one after another, and at the same time, powerful auras erupted from various parts of the city. Four groups of figures flew up from the places where the four large family clans were located, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the flying ferry!
It was a group of Great Archmage experts from the four large family clans of the Holy Light City!!
Including the four family heads, there were more than 20 people!
The gathering of more than 20 Great Archmagi was a rare sight. There was no lack of experts from the various family clans among those who had retired for many years. Their appearance surprised many of the onlookers in the city, and they discussed spiritedly.
From the looks of it, even if the Nicholas family wanted to stop today, the four large family clans would not let the matter rest!
From the words of the four family heads earlier, everyone understood the intentions of the four family clans. They planned to deny it at all costs and even accused the Nicholas family clan of slandering them. Next, they would forcefully eliminate the Nicholas family clan!
It was normal to think so. The four large family clans would not admit to colluding with the Mu Guang Pavilion at all. They would not admit it even if there was video evidence. Although they would definitely be affected later, as long as the root of the problem, the Nicholas family clan, was eradicated, everything could still be made up for.
Everyone understood that at the end of the day, it was impossible to resolve the conflict between the two sides with just words.
In the end, strength had to speak for itself.
Now, it was up to the Nicholas family to see if they had the strength to fight against the four large family clans. This was also what everyone was most curious about and looking forward to.
Faced with the pressure from more than 20 Great Archmagi, everyone on the flying ferry was not affected at all because the pressure had been blocked by the formation. Norton was not surprised by their counterattack. He only said expressionlessly, “Oh? Are you unwilling to admit it?”
Zana sneered and said, “How can we admit to slander? Norton, even your great-grandfather did not dare to be so arrogant back then! Who gave you the guts!!”
Upon hearing the other party mention his great-grandfather, Norton’s gaze froze slightly. “Zana, you still have the cheek to mention my great-grandfather! Back then, you took advantage of the situation and killed my great-grandfather. Do you think I’ve forgotten?!”
Winston was the name of Norton’s great-grandfather. Sixty years ago, Winston was one of the few experts left in the Nicholas family clan. One day, when he was cultivating, he accidentally went berserk and suffered internal injuries. Zana took the opportunity to force Winston to fight with him on the pretext of seeking his guidance. In the battle, he severely injured Winston, and in the end, Winston died from his serious injuries!
Zana continued to sneer. “Winston was just not as skilled as others. What’s there to hate about his death? Norton, you’re just a junior. What right do you have to call me by my name?”
