Chapter 1355 Nothing Left
Millie strode toward Cecilia and asked, “Are you all right, Cecilia?”
“I’m fine, thanks to Jared. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to return at all.” She then glanced at Jared affectionately.
Millie saw her sister’s expression and smiled mischievously. “I suppose I need to thank Jared for bringing you back safely. No, wait. I think I should acknowledge him as my brother-in-law…”
Hearing that instantly made Cecilia blush. She shot a glare at her sister. “You d*mn brat. What are you saying? I’m going to give you a beating…”
She then chased Millie into the building while Jared followed them in with a faint smile.
They didn’t get any rest throughout the whole night, so they fell asleep pretty quickly.
After the sun rose high in the sky, many people were spotted staring at the ruins of the Rider residence and talking about it.
The martial arts families were especially shaken by what they saw. They had no idea who was powerful enough to do that in a single night.
When the leader of the Rider family, Tobias, saw his brother’s corpse and his destroyed home upon returning, he became furious. “Who did this? I’m going to tear him to pieces!”
He stared at the sky and roared as terrifying murderous intent rushed out of his body.
As a Martial Arts Marquis, Tobias often only cared about looking for cultivation resources and rarely paid attention to what was going on in his family.
He didn’t expect to see his home in ruins when he came back.
After all, the Rider family was a pretty powerful martial arts family in Wildefield.
“Who’s the one who had such deep-seated hatred toward the Rider family? Not only did they kill my brother, but they also destroyed the Rider residence!” Tobias questioned loudly.
“It’s someone from Crimson Palace, Mr. Rider.” A servant of the Rider family spoke as they kneeled tremblingly in front of him.
“Crimson Palace?” Tobias frowned. “How can Crimson Palace be powerful enough to destroy the Rider residence? Even if Cecilia personally came here, there’s no way she has enough strength to kill my brother and destroy the residence! Where are Finn and Yuvan? I asked them to protect this place, so where did they go?”
Before Tobias left, he specifically asked Finn and Yuvan to protect the residence because he knew his lustful brother would cause lots of trouble.
So, when the two of them didn’t show up even though the Rider residence was in ruins, he was pretty pissed.
The servant promptly replied, “Finn and Yuvan are both dead, Mr. Rider…”
“Dead?” Tobias was stunned. “Where are their bodies?”
“There’s nothing left of them. Even after they used the strength enhancement drug, they still couldn’t win. Both of them exploded into red mist after the person from Crimson Palace attacked them.” Thinking about the battle from last night still made the servant tremble in fear.
“What?” Tobias’ expression darkened immediately.
He didn’t expect Crimson Palace to have such a powerful expert.
It didn’t make sense to him because if that expert really were a member of Crimson Palace, the sect wouldn’t have been relatively unknown in the Southwest Region for a long time.
“Tell me exactly what happened. Also, what’s the deal with Desmond’s corpse?” He couldn’t make sense of what had happened. What happened while I was gone? Also, why did so many people from Sacred Beast Sect die in the residence?
Soon, the servant told him everything that had happened.
However, the servant didn’t know the attacker from last night was Jared. He only knew someone was there to save Cecilia, so he thought Jared was from Crimson Palace.
Tobias, on the other hand, didn’t think that was the case because he knew basically everyone who was as powerful as Jared in Southwest Region, which wasn’t a lot and none of them were in Crimson Palace.
“Gather the men immediately! We’re going to visit Crimson Palace. No matter who’s the one that did this, they are going to pay!” He gritted his teeth while murderous intent shone in his eyes.
