For Lacey, watching Missy being kidnapped was no different from taking her life.
Back in the room, Hound and his men exchanged glances while trying to regain their senses.
What did we just encounter? He looks like a demon and can emit a dangerous black mist. More importantly, he can
fly while carrying someone. Are there really demons in this world?
Hound's subordinate meekly asked, “Hound, what should we do now?”
Hound snapped, “What else can we do? Of course, we have to stick to the plan. Fourth Lord has ordered us to get
rid of Lacey. It has nothing to do with Missy!”
Hound's men nodded in agreement. “But now we can't threaten Lacey with Missy anymore. We'll have to do it
ourselves.”
After all, their mission would be completed once they killed Lacey.
Hence, it didn't matter to them if they left any tracks.
Given how influential Fourth Lord was, they were confident that he would protect them.

At that moment, Lacey was wallowing in despair after losing Missy.
When she saw Hound approach in an intimidating manner, she trained her rage at him.
If not for these men, Missy wouldn't have been kidnapped.
Losing her sanity, Lacey charged at Hound.
“You... Give me back Missy!”
However, a lady like Lacey stood no chance against Hound.
He stabbed his dagger into her chest.
Gasping in shock, Lacey collapsed onto the ground.
Her gorgeous face, coupled with the pool of blood, was a stunning sight to behold.
“Ah! Murder!” someone screamed at the door.
Worried about Lacey and Missy, the male vendor from earlier had come to check on them.
When he arrived at their door, he saw Lacey lying in a pool of blood.
The sight caused him to scream continuously in reflex.
The next moment, all the other neighbors began to gather.
They were outraged by the sight that greeted them.
It was one thing for Hound to bully the widow and child, but killing Lacey was just too much.
Now that Lacey is dead, how is someone as young as Missy going to survive on her own? It's no different from
killing both of them!
The neighbors began to admonish Hound.
“All of you have no conscience at all!”
“She has suffered so much after losing her man. How could you bring yourself to kill her?”
“I'm calling the police! All of you must be punished by the law!”
Having killed someone, Hound and his men were filled with anxiety.
Now that the neighbors threatened to report them, their panic intensified.
“Stop! I'll kill whoever dares to call the police. Let me warn you that I have Fourth Lord's support. Whoever calls the

The mention of Fourth Lord struck fear into the hearts of the neighbors.
Nevertheless, the sight of Lacey's body continued to fan the flames of their grievance.
“No matter how powerful one is, one cannot act unreasonably and take somebody's life.”
“Murderers must be brought to justice.”
“I dare Fourth Lord to kill everyone living on this street!”
The neighbors began calling the police on their phones.
Hound was filled with desperation. “What a bunch of stubborn folks. All of you are just looking for trouble. Stop
them!”
Hound's men dashed forward to grab the phones, sparking a massive brawl.
Unfortunately, most of the neighbors were elderly and weak.
Hence, they were no match for Hound's men at all.
One by one, they were beaten to a pulp and collapsed to the ground.
In fact, two old men were stabbed in their abdomen and were on the brink of losing their lives.
The entire scene turned into a bloodbath.
