Chapter 333 I Came to Seek Justice for My Grandsons
"Hmf! I knew they would not keep their promise."
"They are liars."
"Do you think we are afraid of you?"
"If you want a fight, we will give you a fight."
"That's right."
"We, the citizens of Nightshire City, are not cowards."
The city guards held their weapons firmer.
But before they could attack Ryan and his subordinates, Ace used his strongest magic, the Great Lightning Dragon magic.
Like usual, his enemies trembled in fear when they saw his magic.
Ace was still young and lived in a small place, so they did not expect him to have such powerful magic.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
After attacking them with his strongest magic, he used the third form of the Yin-Yang dragon skill to kill them.
"Aaaggghhh…" Ryan and his subordinates cried out in pain before finally falling to the ground, died.
"Hmf! Serve you right!" the city guards did not feel sorry because Ryan did not keep his promise.
"Ace, what should we do next?" Captain Noah believed Ryan's parents would come to Nightshire City later.
They had killed his children, so he was sure Ryan's parents would come to their city to take revenge on them.
"All we can do is try our best to become stronger, so that we can protect ourselves and our city." Ace knew what Captain Noah had in mind. "Alright. Let's go back now."
As they entered their city, one of Devin's subordinates, who saw everything from afar, called Devin using magic.
Devin was furious when he found out everything.
Ryan had a bright future, and he was also the future head of the family, so Devin could not suppress his anger when he knew Ryan had died.
"You wait there and monitor them." Devin uttered.
"Understood, my lord." His subordinate responded.
Devin, who was in the courtyard, clenched his fist. "Ace!"
"My lord, do you think Ace is already at the Exalted rank?" Riley, who was standing next to Devin, inquired.
"I don't know." Devin did not expect a genius to appear in a small place.
'He is only eighteen, yet he is already so strong. Is he a disciple of a powerful person?'
That was the question that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"My lord, when are we going to take revenge on them?" Riley inquired.
Before Devin could answer Riley's question, a voice suddenly rang out. "Devin, I heard that Levi and Ryan died. Is that true?"
Riley and Devin lifted their heads.
They saw an old man with white hair and green eyes floating in mid-air.
Riley and Devin immediately greeted the old man because he was the previous family head of the Holmes family, Kane Holmes.
After landing on the ground safely, Kane inquired, "Tell me, who is the killer?"
"Father, the killer's name is Ace." Devin began explaining everything to his father.
"Ho?" Kane was shocked when he found out who Ace was. "He is still young, but he can kill an awakener at the Grandmaster rank?"
He then continued, "I would have recruited him if he had not killed my grandsons. What a pity."
"Father, should we use our full strength and destroy Nightshire City?" Devin inquired.
Instead of answering Devin's question, Kane inquired, "How many troops do they have? Who is their strongest awakener?"
"I don't know exactly, but I think it's between fifteen thousand to twenty thousand." Devin responded, "As for the strongest awakener, I'm sure it's Ace."
"Fifteen thousand to twenty thousand troops, huh?" Kane touched his chin. "Gather half of our subordinates in the front yard tomorrow. I will personally lead them to Nightshire City tomorrow."
"Understood, Father." Devin responded.
----
Scarlett's House, Her bedroom.
Ace was currently sitting on a chair and looking at Scarlett and Valeria with sad eyes.
Even though he had already avenged them, sadness still enveloped his heart because they were still in a coma.
Ace even felt like his life was not complete because Scarlett and Valeria were important to him.
'It has been more than a month, but they still have not regained consciousness until now.'
His usual calm face was nowhere to be seen.
Anyone who saw him would know immediately that Scarlett and Valeria were important to him because he had an expression of deep sadness on his face.
'Scarlett, Valeria, please wake up. I really miss you two.'
----
Kane was leading his subordinates to Nightshire City. He brought three thousand subordinates with him because he wanted to avenge his grandsons.
The city guards of Nightshire City had crossed the line, so he wanted to show them the consequences of offending the Holmes family.
"Father, are we also going to kill the citizens later?" Devin inquired.
"Of course! We will raze Nightshire City to the ground later." Kane did not care whether they were innocent people or not.
"Father, I want Ace to kneel in front of Levi and Ryan's graves first." Devin did not want Ace to get a quick death because that was too good for him.
"Don't worry. I won't kill him immediately." Kane knew what Devin wanted.
"Thank you, Father." Devin uttered.
After traveling for several days, they finally reached Nightshire City.
Captain Noah immediately ordered two of his subordinates to call Ace and Colonel Louie because he had the feeling that Kane and Devin could destroy their city easily.
"Oh, so this is the barrier you were talking about, huh?" Kane stopped his horse and looked at the barrier carefully.
"That's right, my lord." Riley responded.
Kane touched his chin with his right hand. "No wonder you can't destroy it. It can only be destroyed by awakeners at the Exalted and above."
"Does that mean you can destroy this barrier, father?" Devin inquired.
"Of course!" Kane answered confidently. "Even though it's a powerful barrier, I can destroy it with one attack."
Devin and his subordinates were thrilled.
'Good!'
They said in their minds.
"Let me destroy it now." after saying that, Kane jumped down from his horse.
But before he could attack the barrier, Colonel Louie's voice rang out. "Who are you?"
Kane stopped chanting a magic spell and looked at Colonel Louie.
'Grandmaster rank? Didn't Devin say Nightshire City only had one awakener at the Grandmaster rank? Is he Ace?'
He immediately shook his head.
'No. He is in his thirties, so he is not Ace.'
The feeling of great shock appeared again when Layla, Lexie, Captain Lia and Lieutenant Alex arrived at the entrance gate.
'Three awakeners at the Grandmaster rank and Master rank. Since when could a small city produce so many awakeners at the Grandmaster rank?'
Normally, the strongest awakener in a small city was only at the Master rank, but here, they had three awakeners at the Grandmaster rank.
They were even still young.
It was as if Nightshire City was a holy city, a place where many powerful awakeners lived.
'They are stronger than I thought.'
Of course, he was not afraid of them.
He was only shocked, nothing more than that.
After all, this was the first time he knew a small city had many strong awakeners because, usually, there were no strong awakeners in small cities.
"Captain Noah, are they from the Holmes family too?" Ace asked as he walked closer to the city guards.
The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face when Kane checked how strong Ace was.
'Exalted rank? What is this? How can a small city have an awakener at the Exalted rank?'
He finally knew why his two grandsons died in Nightshire City because their opponent was an awakener at the Exalted rank.
"Hmm?" Ace was also shocked when he checked how strong Kane was.
'Exalted rank?'
He immediately walked out of the barrier because he did not want Kane to attack their barrier.
Like usual, Captain Noah and the others followed Ace.
This time, Colonel Louie brought five thousand subordinates because he wanted to take advantage of their numbers.
"Why did you come to our city? Do you want to take revenge on us?" Ace inquired.
"You have killed my grandsons, so is it wrong for me to seek justice?" Kane told them indirectly that he wanted to kill them all.
"Hey, we would not have killed your grandsons if they had not caused any trouble in our city." the red-haired man spoke abruptly.
"That's right." The blue-haired man added. "We killed Levi because he kept causing trouble in our place. We killed Ryan because he did not keep his promise."
"You should blame yourself for not educating your grandsons well, so don't blame us." The yellow-haired man stated.
"How dare you say something like that to me! Kill them all!" Kare roared.
