Spring Rain Restaurant.

The officer who had gone to investigate rushed back again and hurriedly reported the situation to the magistrate.

“Sir, Commander Deng was too late. That villain Chen Feng was too ruthless. The guards of the He family were all killed and scattered, and almost all the men of the He family were killed or injured…”

A look of disbelief appeared in Magistrate Lin’s eyes. He flew into a rage and slammed the table.

“How could this be? How could a mere person cause such a commotion? Could it be that you mistakenly spread the news that there was only one person, when in fact there were many outlaws?!”

!!

“This subordinate has really asked around. That Chen Feng’s martial arts is really too strong…”

The officer wiped his cold sweat as he explained.

Magistrate Lin was furious. In the eyes of a civil servant like him, martial arts was nothing. This man was even alone. He could not imagine how a person could do such a thing.

It was just a powerful person causing trouble. He did not think that this was anything important, but he did not expect it to cause such a commotion. Where would he put his face as a magistrate now?

Magistrate Lin turned around and saw Old Master He sitting in his seat as if he had lost his soul.

“My He family… is finished…”

Old Master He’s face was ashen as his body swayed.

Seeing this, even Master Huang, who had been gloating earlier, could no longer be happy.

After all, everyone had the benefit of advancing and retreating together. They were quite happy to see others suffer a little, but when they encountered a calamity, they would share a common enemy.

“Fortunately, we invited the magistrate to a banquet today. Brother He, you weren’t at home, so you managed to escape. This is the blessing and protection from Lord Lin. Don’t panic, the magistrate will definitely help you.”

Master Huang comforted him and even flattered the magistrate.

When Magistrate Lin heard this, his expression softened slightly as he nodded, “That’s right. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will capture this murderer and hand him over to your He family to deal with.”

Old Master Huang echoed, “My Huang family will definitely help you.”

Old Master He came back to his senses and forced himself to thank the two of them, but his eyes still revealed his listlessness.

Only then did Magistrate Lin turn back to the official who had reported the news.

“Go back and tell Commander Deng that he has to capture the murderer. Otherwise, I’ll hold him accountable! Have you found out where that evil outlaw is now?”

The officer wanted to say something but hesitated. He glanced a few times at Master Huang before helplessly speaking,

“Reporting to the magistrate, after that villain Chen Feng finished fighting in the He Residence, he went to the Huang Residence. Commander Deng has already led the troops to chase after him. We don’t know how the situation is…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them were left stunned.

Master Huang, who had been comforting him just now, suddenly had a drastic change in expression. He suddenly stood up and even knocked over a chair in his panic. He cried out involuntarily, his voice breaking.

“What? He went to my manor?!”

…

South of the city, Huang Manor.

Not long ago, a street urchin came to report what had happened in the He family, immediately causing a commotion in the Huang residence.

The Huang family members who did not follow Master Huang to the banquet hurriedly gathered in the main hall. When they heard their butler report that the He family was in trouble, there was a commotion.

“Who is this Chen Feng? Why did he do such a thing?”

“What a lawless man. He actually committed a crime in the state capital. What are the officials doing!”

“Then how’s the He family now? Hurry up and send someone to investigate!”

The people in charge of the Huang residence were in an uproar.

Some were surprised, some were angry, and some were anxious… Currently, Master Huang was not at home to take charge. These people were only focused on their own interests, causing a ruckus in the main hall, as though it had turned into a market.

Deep down however, the members of the Huang family could not help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had barged into the He family. If he had chosen the Huang family, they would have suffered… Since Chen Feng could kill everyone in the He family, he would definitely cause the Huang family to suffer heavy casualties.

Although the He family had been slaughtered until blood flowed like a river, and everyone in the Huang residence felt fearful of his strength, it was better to hear the news of someone else’s death rather than his own.

At this moment, one of the uncles in the family, Huang Deqing forcefully tapped his walking stick to suppress the commotion. He shook his white beard and loudly spoke,

“What’s done is done. There’s no point in saying anything more. This kind of outlaw is just killing for the sake of money. We have to help the government catch such a thief. Otherwise, anyone will dare to provoke our four families in the future! Yesterday, Guo Haishen appeared, and today, Chen Feng appeared. They’re all people who have hatred for the world and its system. I wonder who will appear tomorrow. In the long run, how can we still dare to do business openly?”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people from the Huang residence nodded in agreement.

“Uncle is right. If we can’t bring such an outlaw to justice, what face will we have left?”

“This Chen Feng has committed an atrocity. At this moment, he must be hiding in the state capital and running for his life. In my opinion, we should activate those street urchins and thugs to find this person even if we have to scrape the ground three feet away, then inform the government!”

Everyone clamored, and for a moment, everyone got excited.

The He family had suffered a huge calamity. As one of the four great families, the people of the Huang family were naturally shocked at their grisly end. After the shock, they were all afraid that they would follow in their footsteps and immediately wished to mobilize their forces to capture the murderer.

If they did not get rid of Chen Feng, they would not be able to eat or sleep in peace!

Bam!

However, at this moment, a loud bang came from the front yard.

At the same time, a thunderous shout followed,

“Chen Feng, paying his respects!”

The sound waves spread out and resounded throughout the Huang residence.

The people from the Huang family in the main hall went silent for a second as they processed the words. Then, their expressions changed drastically as they panicked.

The scene immediately became chaotic.

“Why is this evil man here?!”
