Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 787

But this? Facing raw, unbridled armed force? They were utterly paralyzed with fear.

Everyone clutched their heads, cowering in pure terror.

However, old habits died hard. Back home, they had weaponized public tantrums to get their way.

Almost on cue, Celia Bennett's mother and her two older sisters deployed their ultimate weapon. They threw themselves onto the dirt, thrashing and screaming at the top of their lungs, "Assault! Murder! They're killing us!"

Simply lying there wasn't enough. They feigned grievous injuries, rolling in the dust and wailing hysterically.

The translator burst out laughing. "You're seriously trying this routine here? Unbelievable."

He immediately pulled out his phone, recorded the absurd spectacle, and forwarded a copy straight to Ethan.

Following the matriarch's lead, every single woman and child in the Bennett family dropped to the ground in a synchronized display of fake agony. Meanwhile, the Bennett men puffed up their chests and charged the new bosses, ready to brawl and demand justice for their brutalized women.

The dock spiraled into absolute chaos. The translator backed away to a safe distance, content to just film the carnage now that they were no longer his problem.

Suddenly, a sharp crack pierced the air. A man crumpled to the ground.

The screaming stopped instantly. Dead silence fell over the dock.

As the shock wore off, a massive, dark pool of blood began to spread rapidly across the concrete.

Emily let out a bloodcurdling shriek. She scrambled up from the dirt and threw herself onto the fallen man. "Honey! Oh my god, what happened?!"

Her husband had been killed instantly. He was past the point of answering.

Trembling, Emily pressed two fingers under his nose. There was no breath.

In a split second, the horrifying reality shattered the Bennett family's delusions.

The new boss barked a command, and the translator happily relayed the message. "Your new employer isn't running a charity. You riot on his turf, you catch a bullet. Simple as that.

"He usually doesn't resort to extreme violence, but you need to learn obedience.

"He says those of you who are still breathing and prefer to keep it that way should start walking.

"Anyone who stays behind can share a shallow grave with that corpse."

The new boss turned and began walking away. The Bennetts were frozen in sheer panic.
