"Judge, my lord, there must be some misunderstandings between us today," asked Keith while looking at the Judge. Meanwhile, he tried to hold his temper and walked a few steps toward the Judge.Although Keith was an arrogant person, he did not dare to be rude to the Shadow Sect members. He was clear that it would only take less than half an hour for the Shadow Sect to wipe out the Reynolds family if they wanted."Forgive me, my lord. May I know who this respected lord is?" he pointed at Howard, trembling immediately afterward."Marshal, were they the ones who have done that?" The judge ignored Keith completely and asked Howard.Howard nodded.Suddenly, all the royal guards drew their sabers and shouted, "Avenge!"The whole atmosphere in the Reynolds Mansion became more intense instantly. The people under the Reynolds family went weak on their knees and sweated while shivering because they had been terrified by the royal guards."I-I can't take it anymore!" One of the men in black

"My lord, you've misunderstood me!" Emery quickly justified himself."I heard that you had come to Nimbulus. I didn't know what happened, so I came here to assist you!"After a short pause, he continued, "My lord, what brought you to Nimbulus in person?"The Judge snorted coldly. "You Nimbulus people are really something, aren't you?!""I can't believe someone dared to forcibly kidnap an innocent child and disregard her life by performing a heart transplant surgery for their granddaughter in broad daylight! That's unbelievable, isn't it?!""Huh!?" Emery was stunned and puzzled at the same time.Although that matter aroused the great indignation of both men and gods, it should not be big enough for the Judge to bring thousands of people from Shadow Sect to Nimbulus to deal with it. Yet, there was a possible reason behind it.And that was the child's background. The child might be so unique that the Judge had to take a trip personally to Nimbulus! But who is it that can make the j

"It's my honor to meet you, vice-marshal!" Emery saluted Yoel after he had stood up."You're getting fatter and fatter in the peace, my friend!" Yoel joked and smiled at Emery."You're flattering me!" Emery smiled awkwardly."Alright. There's nothing you can do now. Get your people out of here.""Yes, sir!" Emery saluted Howard and gave his command to his subordinates. "Head back!""Yes, sir!" The special force armies responded aloud and left."You should go back too. I'll catch up with you when I'm free." Howard looked at Emery and said."Roger!" Emery did not insist on staying there because he knew Howard was strong enough to take down the whole Reynolds family alone. Let alone there were nearly a thousand Shadow Sect's royal guards under Howard."M-my lord, I-I have nothing to do with whatever happened here today..." The patriarch of the Jones family suddenly spoke in a trembling voice."Yes, my lord! Keith Reynolds threatened us to come. He'd have come after us if we hadn'

"As for the Jones and Hemman families, implement the punishments according to the law! No tolerance is allowed!""Yes, marshal!" the Judge replied."My lord, forgive us. We were forced, please forgive us...""The Reynolds family threatened us. I beg you to let us go...""My lord, please spare our lives..."The sound of wailing and whining started to resound throughout the Reynolds Mansion. Keith and Holland slumped on the ground. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of despair. They were put to death just by order of Howard. They had never imagined that the Reynolds family, who had thrived in NImbulus for hundreds of years, would be destroyed by them, just because they caught a little girl.However, it was too late for them to regret what they had done. The next moment two heads flipped in the air and then fell onto the ground. And that marked the end of the Reynolds family's history in Nimbulus.Two minutes later Howard got into the car with Riley in his arms. Then,

Yuffie took an exclamatory breath and continued before Howard could reply. "How did you rescue Riley then? Reynolds is much stronger than Aellus!""We called the police. They helped me to rescue her," said Howard with a smile."Really?!" Yuffie stared questioningly at Howard."Yuffie! Are you done?" Kaylee raised her voice again.Then, she faced Howard and Yoel and grumbled. "We're already distressed by the Aellus family, and now you're telling me you've made a bigger mess for us! You like being in trouble, don't you?! Of course, it doesn't matter to the two of you. You two could just come and leave any time you wish, but have you thought about us? We can't stay in Nimbulus and go back to Mendorra. So, you tell me, where should we go?"Talia and Yuffie became solemn when they heard what their mom had said. Kaylee was right. How did they live in the future?"Ma'am, don't worry!" Howard looked at Kaylee. "I'll follow you to Mendorra. If there's any difficulty, I'll deal with it. Pl

"You have your own life, and I have mine. So from now on, please don't come to me again. Take care—""Talia!" Howard interrupted her. "I know you still hate me, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Riley."Soon, she'll go to primary school and make friends there. Won't you be upset if the children there make fun of her because she doesn't have a dad? And if someone bullies her at school, or something like this happens next time, what can you do?"Based on your current situation, can you guarantee to give her a safe and healthy growing environment?""Enough..." Talia sobbed."Talia, trust me. We'll live happily ever after!"Howard turned around and grabbed Talia's arms."It's okay that you can't accept me for the time being, and I won't force you to marry me now. Time will bring our hearts together."But for now, can we at least pretend to be a married couple in front of outsiders and Riley? And when the time comes, I promise we'll have a spectacula

"Tell your parents to pack their stuff. We'll move to Mendorra after two days and start over there," said Howard."You're too idealistic!" Talia took a deep breath. "You don't know how bad our situation is!""There is no place for our family in Mendorra at all!""That was the past!" Howard solemnly refuted, "From now on, everything will be in the past. Believe me. I will definitely be able to do it!""Oh! Why can't you understand!" Talia despairingly sighed. "Forget it. You just didn't believe it no matter how I told you. You'll understand one day!"Then, she looked at Howard and hesitantly asked, "I… can you do me one last favor?""Of course!" Howard nodded vigorously. "What's it?""Three days later is my grandpa's birthday. Our family will go to Mendorra to celebrate with him. Can you go to the Jenkins Mansion with us if you're free tomorrow?""They always mock that Riley is a wild child without a father whenever we meet.""Riley was traumatized by that. Now she doesn't dare

"Marshal, I've already checked it out!" Yoel responded after getting the car's engine started."According to the characteristics of a killer you provided at the time, I asked the judge to track it down for half a year, and he finally found him in a neighboring country. The killer already spit everything out. The mastermind behind the murder of your adoptive father's family was the Austin family, the wealthiest family in Mendorra today, together with the Francis and Blake families.""So I was right all this while!" said Howard. Yoel could sense a firm intention of killing from Howard's expression.Five years ago, Howard's adoptive father's family, the Ziegler family, was the first of the top-four most influential families in Mendorra. The remaining three families were the Austin, Francis, and Blake families. Among the four families, the status of the Ziegler family was far higher than the rest. Howard's adoptive father was a man of high integrity and resolution. He despised the manne
