“This double-phoenix emerald pendant is known throughout the city lord’s mansion to be always worn by your son. It was passed down to favonovel.com by his late mother. And this emerald pendant was found by me in the courtyard of the Ford residence when I went to the scene the night after all 17 members of the family were killed.”
“Nonsense, complete nonsense, you’re framing my son!” Bruno immediately shouted.
Jimmy sneered, “Framing him? Someone like me don’t bother with framing. In Cranlis City, with its 1.7 million residents, who doesn’t know that your son is the living Grim Reaper? If you accuse me of framing, we can hand over this emerald pendant to the authorities. They can compare the soil in the stitching with the soil from the Ford residence’s courtyard.”
Isaac raised his hand and looked at Alcide, saying, “Well, with both the witness and physical evidence present, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Easteria, what punishment should the perpetrator of such a heinous crime receive?”
“My lord, according to the laws of my kingdom, any martial artist who kills three or more civilians shall be sentenced to the bite punishment…”
“Biting punishment?”
Alcide explained, “It’s throwing the criminal into a cage filled with ferocious demon beasts, where they will be devoured, their flesh eaten, and their bones gnawed until only a pile of white bones remains.”
When favonovel.com heard this, Abel turned pale. Urine seeped from under his pants, and favonovel.com collapsed to the ground.
“Alright, let’s proceed immediately,” Isaac said as favonovel.com stood up.
The faces of the nearby brothel women, the gathered servants, and the people from the city lord’s mansion behind Bruno all changed dramatically.
“Alcide, I’m telling you now, if you dare to use the biting punishment on my son, you will all regret it for the rest of your lives!” Bruno pointed at Alcide while gritting his teeth.
Isaac ignored favonovel.com and walked straight toward Bruno with his hands behind his back.
As golden spiritual energy surged around Isaac, Bruno immediately turned and flew out.
“Father! Father, save me, save me, I don’t want to die!” Abel cried out loudly in panic as favonovel.com saw his father suddenly leave.
Isaac looked up at the rapidly departing figure of Bruno while a hint of a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
A city lord shouldn’t be so arrogant…
Descending the steps, Alcide took out his judicial Department badge and shouted to the cavalry leader outside, “As the deputy of the judicial Department, I order you to immediately prepare the execution by biting punishment and escort the criminal Abel to the execution ground!”
When Abel, bound with a spiritual energy-suppressing rope, was escorted onto the prison cart and taken to the execution ground outside the west gate of the city by the cavalry, more and more towns people gathered around.
The news of Abel being subjected to the punishment of biting, personally decreed by a high-ranking official from Royal City while favonovel.com was in Sparklers House, quickly spread like wildfire through every corner of Cranlis City.
The people on both sides of the street were clapping and cheering loudly, the atmosphere was as festive as during Moon Festival.
The local people, who had received the news, moved faster than the cavalry escort team.
By the time Isaac and others arrived at the execution ground outside the west city gate in their carriage, the area was already surrounded by a sea of people.
Over a hundred infantry soldiers were pushing seven carriages, pulling a large iron cage with a diameter of over 200 feet, and slowly brought it to the center of the execution ground.
In the iron cage, seven or eight low-level demon beasts lay baring their teeth. Some were large red wolves about three to four meters long, while others had the body of a leopard with the head of a tiger.
The demon beasts were famished and restless.
When they saw Abel being pushed closer to the prison cart, they immediately roared with excitement, stood up with their fur bristling, and drool dripped from their mouths like strings.
Abel cried out in terror and struggled frantically.
Isaac and the others left the carriage. He looked at the young woman from the Ford family who was next to favonovel.com and quietly asked, “If you don’t want to watch, you can stay in the carriage…”
“I want to see…” The woman took a deep breath and looked over at the prison van, favonovel.com eyes devoid of any emotion.
Soon, Isaac and Alcide led the woman onto the execution platform.
The cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder, showing how delighted the residents of Cranlis City were about the execution of the city lord’s son.
As Alcide threw down the dead flag on the platform, around five infantrymen grabbed Abel and started walking toward the large iron cage.
A deep roar came from high above. “Alcide, stop right there!”
Alcide and Isaac looked up and saw jonah, wearing a red official robe, flying swiftly toward them with Gerome and Bruno, who had left earlier.
Seeing who had arrived, Alcide’s face changed dramatically. He hadn’t expected that Jonah would come in person.
Isaac gave a cold laugh and said, “The main character has finally arrived…”
