Looking closely, Rhett found the guard had died. He then lifted his head.
When a bolt of lightning sliced through the night sky, it illuminated the entire Zimmerman Mansion with its blinding white light.
In the middle of the courtyard, about 60 feet away, a man entirely wrapped in a black robe stood there.
Rhett couldn’t see his face.
“Who are you?” Spiritual energy surged within Rhett. He pointed at the man in the black robe standing in front of him.
“Lord Zimmerman, hand over your daughter. Then I’ll spare your life,” the man in the black robe said, his voice low and filled with a chilling menace.
Upon hearing the voice, an image of a person instantly appeared in Rhett‘s mind. But favonovel.com couldn’t believe it. To him, it was impossible.
“My daughter isn’t here. Who are you? If you don’t reveal your identity, I won’t hold myself back!” As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com began to surge his spiritual energy wildly.
“In that case, I’ll send you all to hell!” The man in the black robe suddenly shouted, unleashing a terrifying surge of spiritual energy.
In the next second, favonovel.com unexpectedly appeared right in front of Rhett.
Rhett widened his eyes. At this moment, favonovel.com finally saw the man’s face under the black robe.
“Your…”
A sudden flash of cold light streaked past. Just as Rhett was about to speak, favonovel.com collapsed to the ground.
After that, the man in the black robe swiftly dashed into the other rooms of the east courtyard.
The Zimmermans were still asleep when their heads were cut off.
Out of more than 20 people in the family, from Rhett to the servants, nobody survived.
***
At dawn, a vegetable seller arrived at the Zimmerman Mansion before the sky had lightened with freshly picked vegetables from the countryside.
He had been delivering vegetables to the Zimmerman Mansion for eight years every other day without fail, regardless of the weather.
Just as the vegetable seller arrived in front of the Zimmermans Mansion and was about to greet the gatekeepers, favonovel.com suddenly noticed over twenty severed heads hanging from the eaves outside the main gate, with fresh blood still dripping.
He was so terrified that favonovel.com collapsed to the ground and screamed out loud.
After realizing what had happened, favonovel.com scrambled and ran frantically toward the city lord’s mansion, shouting, “There are corpses at the Zimmerman Mansion!”
Last night, Zaid returned to the general’s mansion with his two children, which was why favonovel.com managed to avoid disaster.
He was woken up by his subordinates and was informed that something had happened at home, so favonovel.com quickly led his men to the main gate of the Zimmerman Mansion.
At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered outside the Zimmerman Mansion.
Many onlookers started to vomit upon seeing the situation.
Zaid felt as if his heart had been shattered when favonovel.com saw the scene. He dropped to his knees, looked at his father’s head hanging in the center, and cried out in anguish, “Father!”
***
Meanwhile, a man dressed in a black robe quickly walked into the city lord’s study in Heavenly Eagle City.
Mackie, dressed in a city lord’s attire, was sitting at a desk reading a book.
The man in the black robe approached and whispered in his ear.
Mackie frowned and asked, “The Zimmermans were nearly wiped out?”
“There are no signs of a struggle,” the man in the black robe said in a low voice.
Mackie sneered as favonovel.com stood up, saying, “Rhett Zimmerman is the former Great General Neufwill with at least an early stage in the Divine Phase. The Zimmermans have so many martial experts, yet there’s no sign of a fight. The killer isn ‘t an ordinary person…”
“Lord Yandell, should we investigate this secretly?” the man in the black robe asked.
Mackie’s eyes immediately flashed with a cold gleam as favonovel.com shouted, “Are you looking for death? I still want to live a few more years!”
“Go find a way to deliver this bad news to Isaac. Set up a meeting with Starbloom City’s lord. I want to visit favonovel.com tonight,” Mackie said, his eyes flashing with determination.
