It had been three days since the attack on the Ven Dyke family's nobles, where nearly a hundred of them were killed. However, most of those who died were notorious for their corruption and poor reputation among the public.
This put the Ven Dyke family's law enforcers in a difficult position. The killers were being hailed as heroes by the common people, making it hard to punish those who were caught and even harder to track down the ones still on the run.
But a few insiders knew the truth: these killers weren't the heroes the public believed them to be. When questioned, the captured attackers revealed their motives. Shockingly, there were around fifty of them, and they had come together from different kingdoms and territories to launch the assault. Their original goal was to breach the inner castle, but its defenses were too tight. Instead, they focused their efforts on the outer castle, destroying numerous noble estates and killing their occupants—all with just fifty people.
