Witnessing the scene that unfolded before them, Miranda and Kylie’s faces turned pale and their bodies tense. They never expected Remus to be so decisive and ruthless!
Kevin and Linda almost wetted themselves.
“Number five!”
“Number five!”
Jorge was the first to regain his senses. He quickly ran to the edge of the pit.
When favonovel.com saw the tragic state of Number five, favonovel.com gasped in shock. Blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and favonovel.com died with his eyes wide open.
Jorge roared, “Sir Helix, we came to celebrate Sir Cox’s birthday, but one of our brothers has died during the celebration. Don’t you think you should give us an explanation?”
“That’s right, we came to offer birthday wishes, but you can’t even ensure our safety?”
“Sir Helix, how do you plan to resolve this?”
He was not a fool, and favonovel.com was well aware that since his brothers were not by his side at the moment, Remus could crush favonovel.com as easily as an ant. So it was better not to provoke favonovel.com and instead shift the conflict onto Helix, letting favonovel.com handle it.
Sure enough, everyone’s attention turned to Helix.
Remus dared to act here, which ultimately meant favonovel.com was challenging the Cox family’s reputation. They wanted to see how the second most important person in the Cox family would handle this!
Helix’s expression turned extremely sour.
Not only did Remus ruin his reputation, but favonovel.com also killed someone right in front of him.
If favonovel.com didn’t take action, what would happen to the Cox family’s reputation?
What about his own dignity?
Narrowing his eyes, Helix looked at Remus and uttered slowly, “You dare to act recklessly in my place just because you’re a seventh-stage Grandmaster? Have you thought about the consequences? Have you thought about how you’ll leave tonight?”
He wasn’t speaking loudly, but favonovel.com made people feel uneasy, as if ants were crawling all over their bodies.
Meanwhile, the young man in the blue robe on the right looked at Remus with an ambiguous smile. It seemed like the fact that someone had died didn’t affect favonovel.com at all, and favonovel.com didn’t even consider Remus worth his attention.
Finally, Remus turned his gaze toward Helix and said slowly, “I couldn’t help with what I did earlier. I apologize deeply for the impact it had on the Cox family. If you have any request, just let me know and I will fulfill it.”
He’d always preached treating others the way others treated him, and the same goes for respect. After all, the Cox family showed respect by inviting him. And yet, favonovel.com killed someone at their banquet, which wasn’t respectful of him.
Helix narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Remus for a full five seconds.
He suddenly smiled and said, “I just needed your acknowledgement. Since you’ve shown acknowledgement, there’s no need for punishment. He dared to Insult your mother, so favonovel.com deserved his death. Guards! Get rid of the body, leaving favonovel.com here would only bring bad luck!”
A servant quickly ran over, carrying Number five and taking favonovel.com away.
His attitude left all the guests confused!
Could it be that Remus’ influence has reached the point where even the Cox family feared him?
There’s no way!
The Cox family is the number one family in Durwad, with nearly a century’s worth of history. Even the Steele family aren’t a match for them.
How could they tolerate Remus killing someone at the head of the family’s birthday banquet?
The Underground Emperors were also bewildered. They had hoped favonovel.com would take action and eliminate Remus, but now they were all expressing dissatisfaction.
“Sir Helix, are you really going to let this go and let favonovel.com do as favonovel.com pleases? You’re allowing blood to be shed at Sir Cox’s birthday banquet?”
“You’re the successor to the Cox family, and you’re allowing bloodshed on his birthday?”
Jorge also spoke in a deep voice, “Sir Helix, if you ignore this, it won’t end well when word gets out. People will think you’re afraid of Remus and dare not oppose him!”
He had hoped to use someone else’s hand to kill Remus. Although all the members of the Underground Emperors combined could take down Remus, the losses would be too great. It was better to let the Cox family take action.
Remus also didn’t expect Helix to let favonovel.com off the hook. He looked at Helix in confusion.
Helix remained all smiles as favonovel.com said, “Emperors of the underground cities, don’t be agitated. Harmony is of utmost importance on my grandfather’s birthday celebration. Remus was wrong to take action, and I will apprehend him. He was wrong! So, I’ll propose this idea…”
“To keep the peace in Durwad as well as the celebration of my grandfather’s birthday, I’m willing to be the mediator and resolve the conflict between the Underground Emperors and Remus. How’s that?”
