Chapter 76 Ending The Old Grievances



In a matter of seconds, Tony transformed into a solid block of ice, and with a flick of her hand, Lily shattered his frozen body into countless tiny ice particles.

Jim watched in horror as his two subordinates met a gruesome demise before his very eyes. The shock and fear were etched on his face, his mouth agape in disbelief. 

Turning his gaze towards Yuan, he felt a chilling certainty that his own life would not be spared on this day.

As Jim\'s terror-filled eyes met Yuan\'s cold, merciless gaze, he knew with certainty that his life hung in the balance. Yuan\'s words pierced through the air, filled with a chilling determination, as he taunted Jim for his past actions.

"You should have thought twice before trying to kill me. Now it\'s too late, and your fate rests solely in my hands," Yuan said, his voice laced with venom.

Trembling with fear, Jim mustered his courage and stammered, desperately clinging to his father\'s position of power. "You can\'t kill me! My father is the Lord of this town. He won\'t let you get away with it!"

Yuan and his wives erupted into laughter at Jim\'s feeble attempt to use his father\'s influence as a shield. Yuan\'s laughter was filled with disdain as he retorted, "Your useless, good-for-nothing father? The one who cowered in fear when the Orc Lord and his army attacked this town? Do you think I fear him?"

The realization that his background and his father\'s status held no weight against the wrath of Yuan and his wives washed over Jim. Panic gripped his heart as he tried to contemplate his next move. They didn\'t care about his connections or his family\'s position. He was truly alone, facing the consequences of his own actions.

In that moment, Yuan retrieved his sword, \'Empyreal Oblivion,\' from his system storage. Its gleaming blade reflected the cold determination in Yuan\'s eyes as he pointed it directly at Jim, the tip mere inches away from his trembling form.

"The time for regrets is over," Yuan declared, his voice cutting through the tense silence. "Your life ends here, and there will be no mercy."

Jim\'s eyes widened in horror as the reality of his imminent demise sank in. He had underestimated Yuan\'s resilience and the strength he had gained. Desperation consumed him as he frantically searched for any possible escape from the clutches of his impending doom.

Jim\'s desperate pleas filled the air as he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Please! I beg you! It was a mistake! Spare my life!"

Yuan\'s expression remained cold and unyielding, his grip on the sword unwavering. He looked down at Jim, his voice cutting through the desperation with a chilling resolve. "There is no such word as \'mercy\' in my dictionary."

Without a moment\'s hesitation, Yuan brought down his sword in a swift and decisive motion. The blade cut through the air, slicing through Jim\'s defenses, and ending his life in an instant. The lifeless body slumped to the ground, blood staining the earth beneath.

Yuan stood there, his chest rising and falling with controlled breaths. His wives, who had watched the scene unfold with unwavering determination, stood by his side, their faces impassive.

Lily broke the silence, her voice steady and resolute. "He got what he deserved."

Grace nodded in agreement. "Indeed. It was his own actions that led to this outcome."

Anna, usually the calmest among them, couldn\'t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. "He will no longer bring harm to anyone else."

Emma\'s gaze lingered on Jim\'s lifeless form, her voice carrying a mix of relief and vindication. "Justice has been served."

Xi Meili, who had witnessed the torment Jim had put her beloved Yuan through, felt a surge of anger and a bittersweet sense of closure. "He will never hurt you again, my love."

Yuan himself stood silent, his emotions concealed behind a stoic facade. Deep down, he knew that this act had brought him a measure of catharsis, a resolution to the pain and suffering he had endured. It was not justice he sought, but a personal reckoning, a closing of the chapter that haunted his past.

With Jim\'s life extinguished, the group stood for a moment, the weight of their actions settling upon them. They had taken a life, even if it was one filled with darkness and malice. They had become the arbiters of their own brand of justice, and the consequences would forever shape their journey.

As they turned away from the lifeless body, their gaze shifted towards the uncertain future that awaited them. The path ahead was still fraught with challenges and enemies, but they would face them together, bound by their shared experiences and the strength they had found in one another.

As the news of Jim\'s death spread through the market, whispers filled the air, mingling with the sounds of bustling activity. People gathered in small clusters, discussing the events they had just witnessed and sharing their thoughts on the matter.

"Did you see what happened? That was the Lord\'s son, Jim!"

"I never thought I\'d see the day when someone would dare to confront him like that."

"Jim had it coming. He thought he could get away with anything just because of his father\'s status."

"I\'ve heard stories about his misdeeds. People were too afraid to speak up because of his father\'s authority."

"It\'s about time someone stood up against his tyranny. Maybe justice has finally caught up with him."

"But who was that man who killed him? And those women with him?"

"I recognize them! They\'re the heroes who saved us from the Orc Lord and his army just yesterday."

"They risked their lives to protect this town. It seems they\'re not just heroes in battle but also champions of justice."

"I never thought I\'d witness such bravery. They\'ve given us hope that even those in power can be held accountable."

The whispers grew louder as more people recognized Yuan and his wives, their faces filled with admiration and gratitude.

"Look, that\'s Yuan! He\'s the one who led the charge against the Orc Lord. He\'s a true hero."

"I feel safer knowing they\'re here. Maybe we won\'t have to live in fear anymore."

As the whispers spread, the atmosphere in the market shifted. The once apprehensive and resigned voices grew bolder, fueled by the hope that justice could prevail even in the face of a noble\'s authority.

"I never thought I\'d see the day when someone would stand up to the Lord\'s family."

"Perhaps this town can finally rid itself of corruption and oppression."

"We must support them, for they have shown us that change is possible."

"They have given us a glimpse of a better future. We can\'t let their sacrifices go in vain."

And so, amidst the whispers, a sense of unity and determination emerged. The people realized that they had the power to shape their own destiny, to challenge the status quo, and to seek justice for all.

As the crowd continued to whisper and discuss their heroic deeds, Yuan looked at his wives with affection in his eyes. He could feel their support and love surrounding him, giving him strength and motivation.

"It\'s getting quite crowded here," Yuan remarked, his gaze sweeping over Anna, Grace, Lily, Emma, and Xi Meili. "I think it\'s time for us to have lunch and take a break from all this excitement."

Anna smiled warmly and replied, "You\'re right, my dear. We\'ve done our part for today. Let\'s find a nice restaurant nearby and enjoy a delicious meal together."

Grace nodded in agreement, her stomach growling in response. "I was just about to mention that I\'m getting hungry. Let\'s go and satisfy our appetites."

Xi Meili, clinging tightly to Yuan\'s arm, chimed in, "Hubby, I\'m hungry too! Let\'s go and eat something yummy."

Yuan chuckled at Xi Meili\'s adorable enthusiasm, his heart swelling with affection for his wives. "Of course, my dear Xi Meili. We\'ll find a place where we can indulge in a scrumptious meal."

Lily, Yuan\'s elder sister, spoke up with excitement, "I know just the perfect place for us to have lunch! It\'s a restaurant nearby that has gained quite a reputation in this town. Many nobles frequent it."

Emma joined in, saying, "Sounds great! Lead the way, Lily. We trust your judgment."

Lily nodded, her eyes shining with anticipation, and guided the group towards the restaurant. They walked together, the air filled with laughter and lighthearted conversation, as they looked forward to a relaxing and enjoyable lunch.

Arriving at the restaurant, they were greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly prepared food. The establishment was elegant and inviting, bustling with patrons enjoying their meals. The group found a table and settled in, eager to savor the culinary delights that awaited them.

As they perused the menu, Yuan couldn\'t help but feel a sense of contentment and gratitude. He was surrounded by his loving wives, their support unwavering, and he knew that they would face any challenges that lay ahead together.

They placed their orders, sharing their preferences and recommendations, and engaged in lively conversation, recounting their recent adventures and basking in each other\'s company. The restaurant provided the perfect ambiance for them to relax and rejuvenate, enjoying the delicious food and the joyful camaraderie that bound them together.

In that moment, amidst the clinking of cutlery and the chatter of fellow diners, Yuan felt a deep sense of fulfillment.
