Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Shadow Dragon Guards (Second Update)
Behind him followed a man with a smile on his lips and slightly curled hair.
“Young Master!” The butler and the many servants all hurriedly moved aside.
However, the Cheng Family’s Young Master, Cheng Jinshi, had a grim expression, walking straight to Cheng Xiya’s corpse.
When he saw the tragic death of his daughter, Cheng Jinshi’s face turned ashen.
“Who did this?”
“Unclear, still investigating!”
At that moment, the man who stood behind Cheng Jinshi approached, “Father, let me take a look!”
Cheng Jinshi nodded slightly and stepped back a few paces.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the man with slightly curled hair.
Aside from a hint of wariness and disdain in the depths of Cheng Jinyi, the Second Master’s eyes, others looked on with respect.
For this young man was the most outstanding youth of the Cheng Family in nearly thirty years, and also the legitimate eldest son of the Family Head, Cheng Liangyu.
Cheng Liangyu, in his twenties, was already a Dragon Shadow Guard Commander in Silver City, highly regarded by the City Lord.
For such a person with a promising future, everyone naturally showed respect.
By now, Cheng Liangyu had already finished examining and silently lifted his head, anger flashing in his eyes.
“How is it? Did you find out anything?” asked Cheng Jinshi.
Cheng Liangyu was silent for a moment before he spoke in a deep voice, “The perpetrator was extremely cruel, first shattering all of Xiya’s bones, then using an unknown method to completely drain the blood from her body, as if… they were making a specimen!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting a complex mood.
As members of the Cheng Family, who did not know that this Miss Cheng was previously most fond of torturing people to death and then making various kinds of artworks out of them?
And now she had met with the same fate in her death.
Cheng Jinshi’s face turned steely, “This scoundrel… not only did they kill Xiya, but they also hung her body at the front door, are they deliberately provoking my Cheng Family?”
Cheng Liangyu nodded slightly, “Father, I think this person is not just showing defiance, but also issuing a warning. After all, Xiya’s past deeds and her current manner of death are almost identical. It’s hard not to suspect.”
Cheng Jinshi gritted his teeth, “A warning… Hah! How laughable! Is there actually someone who dares to warn our Cheng Family on this land under the jurisdiction of Black Iron City?”
Right at this moment, a butler rushed in, “Reporting to the Family Head, we’ve just figured out that the last place Miss was seen was at… Riverside Town!”
Riverside Town?
Upon hearing this name.
Many furrowed their brows slightly.
Black Iron City was only a little over two hundred kilometers straight away from Riverside Town.
But because the roads were rugged and it required passing through a very terrifying wilderness, few people went there.
Unexpectedly, Miss Cheng was last seen there.
All eyes turned towards Cheng Jinshi.
For he was the head of the Cheng Family, and all decisions were up to him.
Cheng Jinshi then looked towards his son, Cheng Liangyu.
Cheng Liangyu clapped his hands lightly and said with ease, “Riverside Town… It just so happens a friend of mine is coming over these next few days, we’ll go there together!”
Upon hearing this statement, everyone in the Cheng Family breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Dragon Shadow Guard took action, what problems couldn’t be solved?
The next day, a person arrived at Black Iron City.
This was an extremely thin man, who looked as if a breeze could blow him away.
But Cheng Liangyu understood that if anyone dared to underestimate his friend, they would pay a very painful price.
For this man named Xiong Lei was a true Fourth Rank master.
Often rendering people completely unguarded against them.
The next day, after preparing everything, the two of them boarded the carriage heading for Riverside Town.
