The guards began to work together, and soon, the courtyard was cleaned up. Wilbur frowned and said, "Lord Edmund, killing them is one thing, but if you cut off their heads and hang them on the gate, it might provoke the wrath of the Dragon Slayer Organization. If that happens, it will surely be detrimental to us."
Edmund turned to look at Wilbur and said, "Mister Penn, I know what you're trying to say. In fact, I originally thought the same way as you. But don't forget, I am the City Lord of Buck Town. Hanson and Sivan dared to openly break into my mansion with members of the Dragon Slayer Organization. This act is a clear affront to me. If I don't hang their heads on the gates, word will spread, and in the future, the cultivators of Buck Town will surely see me, Edmund, as an incompetent man. When that time comes, I'm afraid no one in Buck Town will respect me anymore."
Seeing Edmund's furious demeanor, Wilbur was speechless. Indeed, although Edmund was a dragon clan cultivator, he was also the City Lord of Buck Town. George of Walker Town was also a dragon clan cultivator, and Hanson and Sivan would not dare make a move against him. Yet they dared to act against City Lord Edmund, which was undoubtedly a form of provocation.
From another perspective, now that this incident had occurred, the Dragon Slayer Organization wouldn't easily let it go. If Edmund did not show some backbone and chose to cover up the matter, the members of the Dragon Slayer Organization would surely ridicule him, and then they would choose to retaliate even more furiously.
Comparing both situations, it was clear that since a storm was inevitable, it was better to deal with it thoroughly, so the enemy would not dare to underestimate him.
The night passed quickly. The next morning, after daybreak, many cultivators saw the heads hanging on the city gate and showed expressions of surprise. They then began to talk among themselves.
"Aren't these all members of the Dragon Slayer Organization?"
"Yes, in the past, no one dared to provoke them in Buck Town. How did they end up like this?"
