Chapter 57 - Aftermath

"I want every member of the Lin family to vanish from the face of the earth. Every Extra head will have an extra reward."

There was a momentary silence, then suddenly, the crowd went into an uproar.

"NOOO. YOU CAN NOT DO THIS TO US. YOU WASTED MY SONS AND KILLED MY HUSBAND. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?" The middle-aged woman screamed.

Andy frowned, his gaze drawn to the middle-aged woman who was tightly hugging the young man. Her eyes were bloodshot, and tears ran down her cheeks.

Even the Elder of Eternal Palance had a frown on his face. His eyes shifted to Andy. "Isn't it too much?"

Andy shook his head. "I don't want to be disturbed in the future."

The Elder was tongue-tied for a moment before he sighed, "As you wish."

A smirk formed on Andy's face as he scanned the excited crowd. Everyone understood the meaning behind his words. If they kill the member of the Lin Family, they would be greatly rewarded by Andy. A man who came from the higher world.

Even the disciples of various factions had unbelievable expressions on their faces. But it soon turned into excitement. In this world, everyone's progress depends on resources. Now that they got the opportunity to get some excellent resources, just by killing some people, they would be happy to do it.

Andy's eyes shifted to the Elder. "I felt that I was forcefully evicted. Something happened?"

The Elder was startled, and a look of understanding appeared on his face. "We don't know. Did you go to the inner circle?"

"I don't want to die," Andy said, shaking his head. "You said there would be Heavenly Realm Demonic Beasts in the valley. I just hung out in the Middle Circle."

Elder nodded, a relieved expression formed on his face. He had previously observed Andy with his Spiritual Consciousness, but he had found no fluctuations. "You don't have to worry; we'll look into it. You should take a break. We'll be leaving for the sect in about a week."

Andy nodded and disappeared and appeared in front of his carriage.

The driver was leaning on the carriage, his eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, who came here to experience the Millennial Event.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. His eyes squinted for a moment before he stood straight and stuttered. "Y... Young Master. You are back."

Andy observed him for a while before turning around to see a woman in a commoner robe chatting with other women. His gaze returned to the driver. "You can play with her later. Let's go."

"Y... Yes, Young Master." While Andy stepped into the carriage, the driver hurriedly sat in the driver's seat.

..............

After a while, the horses neighed as a carriage came to a halt in front of a large courtyard.

Andy stepped out and turned to face the driver, who was standing in front of him. "Go play with her."

The driver's face was flushed red. "It's not what you think, young master. I already have three wives in my house."

"Then add one more," Andy said, raising his brows.

He shook his head and strolled toward the courtyard, where he pushed the Door. As soon as he stepped inside, his attention was drawn to two women near a lone tree.

While one of them in the blue robe stood at a distance, her complicated eyes were fixed on the woman in front of her, the other in the green robe had her fingers running through the sword marks on the tree's trunk. As her gaze was fixed on the marks, a drop of sweat trickled down her brow.

Both of their gazes were drawn to Andy as he entered the Courtyard.

While Shi Yi's eyes were filled with hatred, Su Xin's brows relaxed and a smile formed on her face. "Welcome,"

"How have you been?" Andy asked as he approached her.

"I'm feeling better; how was your time in the valley? I noticed a massive valley covering the sky?" Su Xin inquired.

Andy held her soft hands, rubbing his thumb on her palms, his gaze fixed on the beauty in front of him. "It was a fortunate trip. Anyway, I'd be spending today alone. Many people would look for me tomorrow. Just let me know."

Su Xin in nodded, "Fine, you should take a rest."

Andy nodded, let go of her hand, and started walking towards his room, casting a glance at Shi Yi.

Nothing escaped her eyes as she bit her lower lip. Andy's lips curled into a smile as he entered his room.

...................

The next day, at the majestic palace in the Imperial Capital, as many servants began their day, hurried footsteps echoed in a corridor as a maid ran towards a room.

'Hah... Hah' She panted lightly as she stood in front of a door, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.

As soon as she entered the room, her gaze was drawn to a beautiful woman lying on the bed. Her eyes opened slightly, and a frown formed on her face.

"What happened?" She inquired irritably.

"Bad News, Your Highness," the maid replied, bowing.

The woman sat up, an expression appeared on her face, her heart started beating faster, "Something happened to Emperor?"

The maid shivered as she heard the words, "No, your highness, Emperor is fine."

"What happened?" she wondered, as her excitement faded.

"The Lin Family has been wiped out," the maid said slowly, taking a deep breath.

The woman's heart skipped a beat when she heard those words.

"What did you say?" She tightly clutched the maid's arm.

A sharp pain struck the maid, but she held her breath and repeated, "Th... The Lin Family has been wiped out."

As the woman closed her eyes, a tear streamed down her cheek. "Who did it?" she asked, her voice hoarse.

.....................

A middle-aged man stood alone in a courtyard in an unknown location, his eyes seemingly wandering.

A servant stood beside him, his hand folded, his entire body shivering. The middle-aged man unknowingly exuded a terrifying aura.

Clarity returned to his eyes as he muttered, "Too good, a man should be like him, decisive. I should have done the same thing back then."

A sigh escaped his lips as he retraced his Aura, his eyes turned towards a distant room.

"I hope I took the right decision."
