The Westeria Residence guards immediately aimed their guns at Daphne.
Rita was about to draw her sword to fight back, but Daphne stopped her. She shouted, "Rita, don't get all hot-headed. I'll go with them!"
Rita glared at Zayn and his group. She warned, "Ms. West, he is settling a personal vendetta!
"Lord Drakebane's character and talent are unmatched. Zayn, you're just a hypocrite who is jealous of him. You've been trying to harm him without success.
"Now that there are rumors of my lord's misfortune, you're just taking advantage of the situation to seek revenge!"
Zayn chuckled. "A lowly commoner like you dares to insult me? Guards, arrest her!"
Vera rushed forward and stood in their way. She shouted, "Wait a minute!
"Zayn, do you really think Robin is dead?
"Robin spared your life once out of respect for Lord Westeria and Catherine.
"Once he returns, do you think he will forgive your actions and spare you?"
"Take her away!" Zayn shouted, and two guards quickly pulled Vera aside.
"Zayn, if you dare harm Rita, Robin will never forgive you once he returns!" Vera screamed frantically.
Zayn pointed at the guards with a darkened face and said, "Ignore her. She's just a distant relative of the lieutenant general, yet she dares to act out in front of me! Do it!"
"Zayn, if you want to get revenge against Robin, you should kill me!" Shirley grabbed a guard's gun and pressed it against her head, suddenly looking like she had lost control. She shouted, "Shoot me! Killing me will better demonstrate your authority as the newly appointed Lord Westeria!"
"Shirley, no!" Daphne tried to push the guards out of the way.
Shirley held the gun tightly and coldly said, "Shoot me! Kill me now!"
Vera screamed hysterically at Zayn and his guards, "Let go of Shirley now! I promise you, once Robin returns, he will destroy your entire clan!"
Thud!
A cold light flashed in the air. Catherine slit the guard's throat with a blade.
"How dare you insult Master Ramsey's fiancée! If you wish for death, come at me!
Catherine pointed Nigel's prestigious war blade at another two guards and warned, "Let go of Ms. Silva too!
"Or else, I will use Grandpa's sacred blade and kill you bunch of lawless animals!"
All of the Westeria Residence guards and the officials from Harmonfield immediately lowered their heads.
This prestigious Warlord's sacred blade was one of only eight in Draconia.
It could behead kings and nobles, and it could also take down ruffians in the countryside.
All the guards of Westeria naturally understood the significance when someone drew this blade.
Moreover, it was drawn by the most beloved granddaughter of the late Lord Westeria.
"Everyone step back!"
With the appearance of Catherine, Elliott, Maverick, Brendon, and the others, the Westeria Residence guards immediately retreated.
"Ms. Dunn, you can't do this!" Catherina turned to Shirley, urging her to think twice. "You need to pull yourself together!"
Then, she pointed at the officials of Harmonfield and the onlookers, warning them, "Just because Master Ramsey is not around, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want without consequences!
"I'll make it clear today. Whoever dares to bully Ms. Dunn, I will kill that person's family!"
After saying that, she lowered her gaze at Sandy and said disdainfully, "You trash, you're just a venomous snake!
He took a deep breath and whispered, "Catherine, you need to calm down. If you insist on using violence, a riot might break out. The higher-ups will blame us for it, and we won't be able to bear the consequences!
"You need to consider the McKays' reputation as well ... "
"Shut up!" Catherine pointed the bloody Warlord's sacred blade at Zayn and shouted, "I don't care about that!
"Since those in power do nothing, all the laws are useless, all the wrongdoers act with impunity while the righteous suffer—when scoundrels bully the kind and the weak without consequences, and innocent, kind people are insulted, bullied, and sometimes even pay with their lives—I will be the one to stand up for them and make the good-for-nothings and wrongdoers pay for their sins with their blood!
"Well, it doesn't make a difference if one or two people die in this world, so I'll be the one who kills these evildoers!"
Catherine swung her blade and pointed at a woman in her 50s. She shouted, "What are you hiding from?
"Kianna Vergara! You're the retired director of the women's department of Harmonfield North Street!
"For 14 days, you spread malicious words about Master Ramsey and you hit Ms. Dunn with a worn-out shoe more than 10 times. You even took feces and urine from the toilet and poured it on Ms. Dunn more than a dozen times.
"I just want to know. What have Master Ramsey and Ms. Dunn done to you that warranted such vicious treatment from you?"
Elliott grabbed Kianna and brought her in front of Catherine. Then, he stomped on her with his foot.
Catherine slapped her blade on Kianna's face and urged her, "Answer me now!"
"Ms. McKay, I was wrong. They never bullied me. I ... I just wanted to bully her to feel better.
"She used to be so rich and beautiful, but now that she has fallen, it makes me feel happy. I just wanted to join everyone in beating her, tormenting her. I just wanted to bully her, nothing more. I didn't have any malicious intent.
"Ms. McKay, I used to work in the neighborhood committee. I am not a bad person. Please don't kill me ... I will be more careful next time ... "
"You wicked creature, do you think there is still a future for you?" Catherine coldly swung her blade and chopped off Kianna's head.
Thud! Numerous people fell on their knees and began begging, "Ms. McKay, please spare me!"
