Chapter 47: Bringing the Survivors to the Estate

"Bring it to him." A voice suddenly echoed.

Everyone looked over and saw a muscular man suddenly appearing from the dark corner of the collapsed building.

One of the squad leaders immediately commanded his subordinates to bring a horse.

'Is that their leader? He is stronger than me… That guy is at least a 9th Layer Foundation Establishment martial practitioner. ' The gang leader felt his heart tightening with the sudden appearance of a powerful expert.

"While we are waiting for the horse, why don't you start talking." Deputy Captain Aurelius muttered with a light smile.

The gang leader frowned. "I will only talk if the horse is here."

'Did he really think that I would fall for his tricks?' He sneered in his mind.

"I see. Then let's wait here." Aurelius was only buying some time. Just a while ago, they received Fredrinn's instruction to capture the gang leader alive.

The gang leader felt that something was amiss. He looked around the visible corners of the collapsed building, but he didn't sense anyone's presence.

"Why don't you guys drop your weapons? We don't plan to kill the rest of you." After saying this, Aurelius signaled the guards unit to lower their weapons

Seeing this, some of the gang members heaved a sigh of relief and lowered their weapons. Although they outnumbered the enemies, they were more skilled and more well-equipped. They would only end up being killed if they stubbornly fought back.

The gang leader was alarmed when he saw his men lowering their weapons. "Don't listen to his nonsense! This might be a-"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and struck him by the neck.

"Boss!"

"They attacked the boss!"

The gang members panicked when they saw the scene.

"Kill them all and don't leave anyone alive!" The one-armed middle-aged man who struck the gang leader shouted.

"Yes, Captain!" The guards unit roared as they charged at the gang members.

Soon, the sounds of battle erupted once again.

Facing the superior might of the guards unit, the members of the Snake Gang couldn't even put a resistance. It was a one-sided slaughter!

The people who were illegally detained watched their captors die in such a wretched manner. There wasn't a hint of pity in their eyes, only endless rage and excitement.

Meanwhile, hidden atop the building were two figures.

"Let's go. Our job here is done." Fredrinn muttered when he saw the system prompt appear in front of him.

Cain who was standing behind him nodded and jumped down.

[Congratulations! You have destroyed the Snake Gang! Rewards: 2500 Fate Points, 3 Years of Cultivation Experience, and 3 Years of Combat Experience!]

[You discovered that a hidden group is secretly supporting the Snake Gang. Find out their identity! Rewards: 1500 Fate Points, 1 Year of Cultivation Experience, and 1 Year of Combat Experience!]

A new mission popped up as soon as he completed the mission. 'A string quest?' Fredrinn squinted his eyes.

While he was reading the mission details, the Qi in his dantian fluctuated and his cultivation slowly increased.

A new set of combat experiences also appeared in his mind. "With this, I should be able to beat Aurelius even without using the Seven Scorching Sword Style." The years of combat experiences incorporated in his mind turned him into a powerful martial practitioner equivalent to those war veterans who had always stayed on the battlefield.

"It's time to return." He muttered before he jumped down from the ceiling.

Inside Roland's office, a messenger came to deliver a report.

"My lord, Lord Fredrinn has returned, but…"

Roland raised an eyebrow when he saw the messenger's hesitant look. "Go on."

"Lord Fredrinn and his guards unit brought in a large group of commoners. From my estimates, there should be over a hundred of them." The messenger nervously said.

Roland was shocked. "Over a hundred? Where did he get those people?"

"We still don't know, my lord. I don't dare ask Lord Fredrinn." The messenger bitterly shook his head. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I see. You can leave. I'll deal with this matter." Roland waved his hand.

The messenger bowed and left the office in haste.

"Just what is that kid up to this time?" Roland furrowed his eyebrows as he stormed out of his office.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn had already gathered the survivors at the back of the main mansion. He even summoned Doctor Noel and his nurses to tend to the injured.

At this moment, Kristine came to his side and said with a worried look. "My lord, one of the rape victims is refusing treatment. Her friends tried to convince her, but she said that she was prepared to die."

Hearing this, Fredrinn rubbed his chin. "Take me to see her."

Kristine nodded and brought her to the temporary tent where the rape victims were being treated.

"Everyone, this is Lord Fredrinn Firecrown. He led the operation to destroy the Snake Gang." Kristine announced when she saw the women staring fearfully at Fredrinn. These women had developed an inner dislike and fear towards men. She didn't want them to misunderstand the man who saved their lives.

Hearing her words, the eyes of the women flashed with gratitude.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Some of them cried as they expressed their gratitude.

Fredrinn nodded calmly, but he was boiling with fury when he saw that some of the victims were very young. 'Some of them are underage girls. How dare those bastards defile their purity?!'

"Where is she?" Fredrinn asked as he calmed his anger.

"That's her." Kristine turned her gaze at the black-haired woman whose body was filled with scars and whip marks. Her eyes were lifeless as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing the state of her body, Fredrinn couldn't even begin to imagine the terrible experience she had gone through.

He walked towards her and signaled to Kristine not to follow.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Fredrinn asked as he grabbed a seat next to the woman's stretcher.

The woman didn't even bother to look at him as she replied with a weary voice. "Suit yourself."

Kristine and the nurses in charge of treating them were stunned when they heard her disrespectful tone.

To their surprise, Fredrinn didn't seem to be angry at her lack of respect. He only chuckled as he took his seat. "What's your name?" He asked. This woman should have heard of his name, but she didn't even look afraid when Kristine mentioned it.

"Why do you care? Aren't you just going to turn me into your toy like those bastards?" Angel sneered and her lifeless eyes suddenly turned cold.

Kristine could no longer bear to listen and scolded her."Watch your mouth! If it weren't for Lord Fredrinn, you guys would still be-"

"It's fine, Kristine." Fredrinn looked at her and shook his head. He then turned his gaze back to the woman.

"You must have suffered a lot. I can't bring back the time and I'm not good at consoling others. However, I can give you the chance to take revenge…"

This time, the woman finally looked at him.

He moved his head and whispered in a voice that only she could hear. "We captured the leader of the Snake Gang and we found out from him that they are only a pawn controlled by someone. They are the true culprit that caused you and the rest of your friends to suffer. I plan to eliminate them, but a force capable of funding such a large criminal organization wouldn't be an easy opponent.

Perhaps, one of the major families in Red Sun City is even involved. Destroying them would take time, manpower, and a lot of resources. I already have the resources and we have plenty of time. The only thing I lack is manpower…"

At this point, the woman understood his intentions. "Are you planning to create a sizable army to destroy whoever is responsible?"

"That's right." Fredrinn nodded.

"Why are you telling me all of these?" She frowned.

Fredrinn shrugged. "I don't know. To be honest, I don't think you can offer much given the state of your body. However, I was once weak just like you… If you still have that burning rage inside of you, then use it to fuel your growth and take your own revenge against the people responsible for this."

The woman was silenced by his words.

"I'll give you until tomorrow to decide." After saying this, Fredrinn stood up and left without looking back.
