In the past, when the Fuller family was the wealthiest in Khogend, who would've dared behave so brazenly?
Now, after their downfall, everyone in the city seemed eager to kick them while they were down.
Dexter was so enraged he almost coughed up blood!
The commotion was so overwhelming it seemed like a group of bandits were raiding a village.
Even Myra, who stayed in the bedroom, was alarmed. She rushed out, and upon seeing the chaotic scene before her, exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing?"
They just ignored her.
Dexter thought of calling out for his bodyguards, but after looking around, he realized that the few who were still employed were already pinned down to the ground by the crowd. Even their mouths were gagged.
That was the last straw!
Dexter turned around and grabbed an antique sword from his collection from the shelf behind him. With one swift motion, he swung it down and split the wine cabinet beside him in half!
The expensive bottles of wine inside shattered with a loud crash. The rich aroma filled the air in the room as crimson liquid spilled across the floor.
His dramatic action stunned everyone.
To be precise, it was the extremely sharp sword that intimidated them.
"Get out! Every last one of you!"
With the sword in hand, Dexter roared furiously as his face twisted with fury, "I'll cut down anyone who dares to take another step forward! You're welcome to try me if you're not afraid of death!"
For a moment, no one dared to test the sword's edge with their life.
The person who struck Dexter earlier didn't step forward, but he didn't back off either. Instead, he sneered, "We'll leave if you hand over the map! Otherwise, let's see how long you can keep running away from us!"
