Channing, at the East Cemetery.
A tall figure in a blue suit and silky hair said calmly, "Todd Lund was killed by Nathan Cross right here. As his subordinates, all of you ran off and left your master behind. Useless trash.”
The handsome man was Quetzalcoatl's stepson, Tyler, who had just returned from overseas training.
Several disheveled men were kneeling in front of him. They were the Tartarus Troops, who had fled from battle.
Tyler commanded, "Kill them all!”
As he said that, his men in suits took action. They chopped off the heads of all the Tartarus troops, spilling blood all over the ground.
Tyler instructed, "Send the heads to the Lund family. I've already killed the first batch of people the Lunds want dead.”
One subordinate replied, "Yes, Mr. Pearson!"
Tyler then glanced at the city and smirked, "Next will be Cross and the Smiths."
At Cloud Palace, one of the most luxurious restaurants in Channing.
Nathan, Penny, Benson, Leah, Queenie, Kylie, and a man named John Caulkin were dining together.
John was a man the Tonkins had arranged to matchmake Kylie with!
However, Kylie had refused to meet him on the grounds of being busy at work.
On the other hand, John liked her very much and invited her for a meal directly at Channing.
Kylie did not like John but could not find a good excuse to refuse him, so she called Nathan's family over to join them.
Leah inquired, "Mr. Caulkin, what are you employed as?"
John replied, "My father owns a real estate company, and I am employed in the finance industry.”
Leah exclaimed, "You're quite the successful man at such a young age!"
John smiled, "You flatter me. Our net worth is only ten billion, so it's nothing worth mentioning. Besides, my yearly income is only ten million. It's average, I guess."
John sounded humble but had a smug look on his face.
Benson and Leah nodded, "It's already amazing!"
John stole a glance at Kylie triumphantly to observe her reaction.
