“What’s all this commotion?!” Lord Nie bellowed in anger, and the noisy living room immediately fell silent.

Yu Jinlin’s eyes turned red from crying. She knew that Nie Tianling doted on her, but it was different with Lord Nie. He never held them, the siblings, in high regard. If Nie Tianling hadn’t insisted on marrying her, she wouldn’t have been able to enter the Nie family’s door.

Lord Nie glared angrily at Nie Tianling, “Mobilizing troops, using energy weapons, destroying the ground and buildings, are these things you’ve done?!”

Nie Tianling explained, “Father, Jinhui was killed. If we don’t pursue justice, where will our Nie family’s face be?”

Lord Nie was exasperated. He had to compete with those guys in the military and then come home to clean up his son’s mess. His grandson was nowhere to be found, who knows where he had run off to. Comparing his son and grandson to Xiao Jiang’s son and Yin Jiang’s grandson, it was clear that one side was far superior. What misfortune had the Nie family brought upon themselves? Each generation was worse than the last.

“Why was Jinhui killed?” Lord Nie asked.

Yu Jinlin’s crying halted, and Nie Tianling found it difficult to speak.

How was he supposed to explain? His younger brother took advantage of his power, captured people with special abilities, cut off their hands, and sold them for money and gifts. Then, the friends of those people came looking for them, rescued them, and killed his younger brother?

Just by looking at their reactions, Lord Nie knew something was amiss. “Speak!”

Nie Tianling had no choice but to recount the whole incident.

Lord Nie was so furious he nearly passed out. “Imprisonment, mutilating hands, using living people as energy sources, and now being killed in retaliation. Yet, you have the audacity to cry? You still have the audacity to search for people throughout the entire district? You haven’t caught anyone, and you’ve turned the Nie family into a laughingstock in the entire Sixth District, and even in Central Mega City! Is this the great work you’ve done?!”

Yu Jinlin defended her younger brother, “Those were gifts given to Jinhui, not things he captured. Besides, hasn’t Tianling always wanted to establish a connection with the First District? Those energy crystals were the best gift. If it wasn’t for Jinhui’s gift, how could Tianling have easily achieved his wish…”

Nie Tianling hurriedly interrupted, “Enough, stop talking nonsense! How dare you say such things?!”

If this got out and the Third District found out about their secret communication with the First District, wouldn’t they immediately take action against them?

“Father!” Nie Hao rushed in from outside. “Father, have you caught the culprit? What about my uncle? Is he really beyond saving? Did you call for a healer?”

As soon as Yu Jinlin saw Nie Hao return, she immediately burst into tears. “Hao Hao, your uncle was killed because he wanted to buy a mutant ragdoll cat for you. Now that the culprits haven’t been caught, your uncle’s death was so tragic… wuwu…”

“Father! Grandfather! Why are you all gathered here? Why haven’t you caught the culprit yet?!” Nie Hao was extremely anxious.

Old Nie glared at his troublesome daughter-in-law and said, “Hao Hao, don’t worry about this matter. Your father and I will handle it.”

Nie Hao stomped his foot and said, “My beloved uncle was killed, how can I not worry?! Grandfather, give me the energy guns and energy cannons. I want to personally lead people to catch the murderer. I will avenge my uncle!”
