CHAPTER 47: AFTERMATH OF THE INCIDENT(2)

*****City lord mansion****

A young lady, who had been checking the account books of her family shop when Ray visited to buy the space storage, was now sitting in the hall of her house, lost in deep thought.

Engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't notice the old man enter the house. He saw her sitting in the hall, approached her, and greeted her, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Miss Misha, good evening," the old man greeted her respectfully.

"Good evening, Uncle. What has made you so tense? I can see the worry on your face," she replied, asking about the reason for his tension.

"Miss, has the master returned from the wilderness? I need to inform him of an important incident in our city," the old man said tensely.

"Uncle, Father hasn't come back yet. If he returns, he will come directly to the back mountain, and the servants would have contacted me through the contact jade," Misha replied.

"Miss, could you contact the master? We have found traces of demon cultivators in the city, and they were illegally kidnapping civilians in the outer city," the old man informed her about the incident.

"Demon cultivator? Who was it? He dared to come to our city," Misha stood up with anger and questioned the old man.

"Miss, it was Black Fang. He was the demon cultivator. An hour ago, the guards informed me of a peculiar murder incident. I visited the site and found the body had turned into an ice sculpture."

"I tried to melt the ice, but none of my methods worked. So, we examined the facial details and found them similar to Black Fang. We searched his house and found evidence of his crime and his identity as a demon cultivator," the old man replied while presenting the ledgers he had taken from the house.

Misha calmed down after learning about his death, took the books to check, and threw them down in anger after seeing the details.

"What are the guards in the outer city doing? Are they sleeping while the civilians vanish from the city?" she questioned.

"Uncle, it seems the city guards have become lax ever since Father stopped overseeing the operation of the outer city."

"Uncle, take the family seal and instruct the guards to clean up the outer city by eliminating the Black Fang gang and their allies. Remind them that, even though the city lords haven't been closely supervising operations in recent years, they are still the rulers of the city," Misha commanded angrily, presenting the old man with the family seal.

"And also find out who Black Fang has attacked and who retaliated. I will contact Father and ask him to return immediately while informing him of the details of the incident," Misha ordered and reassured him.

The old man took the seal with both hands, respectfully bowed to her, and left hurriedly.

Misha sat back in her seat after the old man left and rubbed her forehead to relieve her tension.

-----------------------------------------

The old man hurriedly left the mansion after receiving the orders of the city lord's daughter.

He immediately gathered all the guards in the inner city and instructed them to follow him to the outer city.

Many people who were on the main roads followed them to see the reason for their gathering and saw them reach the outer city.

Then the old man commanded the guards to charge and began to arrest all the black fang official members and non-official members in the streets.

After gathering all the official members, he began executing them mercilessly on the outer city road without listening to a single word from them.

He then ordered his men to search all the shops and houses for evidence, arrest everyone who was not an official member or who supported their gang and present them to him by tomorrow morning.

"The Black Fang members have been caught red-handed smuggling people and selling them as slaves in other cities, so they have been given capital punishment. Anyone who supported their actions, please surrender by tomorrow morning. If we find you ourselves, you will be killed on the spot," the old man declared, then left for the inner city with blood on his clothes.

Everyone was reeling from the shock after witnessing the merciless execution of the gang members. When they heard the reason, they immediately clapped their hands in appreciation for executing the criminals. The outer city started celebrating the incident as the Black Fang gang had a bad reputation there. Many people came forward to identify the missing members of the gang and cooperated in arresting all the members in the city by the next morning.

Next, the inner-city guards checked the evidence they collected and started arresting the outer city guards who had cooperated with the gang. They executed those who had knowingly cooperated with the gang while others were arrested to be submitted in front of the city lord.

----------------------The chiefs shock----------

The chief was meeting with his two sons who were participating in tonight's operation.

"Are you all ready? We will start the operation tonight when there are no lights and fewer guards around midnight," the chief asked.

"Yes, Father. We are ready, and everyone is waiting for your signal to start the operation," Thomas replied slowly.

While they were discussing, they heard a lot of noise in the streets, and many were running excitedly towards the Black Fang gang area.

Thor went to gather information and came back excitedly to inform the chief about the situation.

The chief was initially stunned, but with his two sons in tow, he reached the incident area and saw the dead bodies of the gang members piling up on the main street. He heard the reason for their demise and happily helped the officials identify the other members of the gang in the city.

By the next morning, with the help of the chief and the other villagers, the inner-city guards had arrested all the Black Fang gang members in the city and received commendation from them.

After the incident was cleared and the city gates were opened, they happily left the city to complete their mercenary tasks.
