Everyone racked their brains, trying to figure out how to help Evan escape Cain’s reckoning. Alas, they couldn’t figure out a feasible solution, no matter how hard they tried.

The divorce was final. There was no turning back. And worse, some people had arrived.

Footsteps echoed. The Norwoods had come.

Although their arrival sounded ominous, every single one of them looked disheveled with their torn and filthy clothes. Frankly, they looked no different from beggars.

Yet, their lips were curled up into twisted smiles.

“The divorce is done? I can’t believe it happened so quickly! What a shame. We missed the whole thing!” James stood with his hands in his pockets, sneering.

“Ms. Solberg, good riddance. You should’ve dumped that heartless b*stard a long time ago. Why wait until now?” Alice, Beverly, and Colette followed with cold laughter.

Hazel, Stefan, and Cynthia remained silent. Every word was like salt rubbed into an open wound. None of them had wanted this divorce at all.

“Where’s that b*stard? Get him out here!” After the mockery, James finally got to the point.

The rest of the Norwood family wore vicious, hateful expressions as they joined in, shouting for Evan to come out.

The humiliation and beatings they had suffered just days ago were still fresh in their minds.

Now that Evan was divorced and about to face Cain’s reckoning, his fate would be even worse than theirs.

They wanted revenge, plain and simple.

“Evan… has already left.”

The Norwoods didn’t get angry upon hearing that answer. Instead, they burst into laughter.

“He’s a fast one, isn’t he? But what’s the point of running?” James sneered again, his tone turning sharp.

“The one coming after him is Mr. Solomon. Everyone knows he never lets anything go. Mr. Solomon will find him and have him chopped to pieces, no matter how hard Evan tries to go into hiding. Besides, where can that b*stard even go?

“Silverton isn’t the only place that is under Mr. Solomon’s jurisdiction; the entire state is. What’s this? Does he think he can fly? If he’s smart, he’ll turn himself in. That way, Mr. Gabriel might at least give him a quick death.”

Now the Norwoods had begun to bask in borrowed power. Although Cain was the reason for their ruin, they were now speaking on his behalf.

Stefan, who was already on edge, snapped the second he heard James’ disparaging words, “You Norwoods have been reduced to filthy beggars. What right do you have to kick someone when they’re down? Get lost!

“By the way, the Solbergs will never allow anything to happen to Evan as long as we stand tall!” His voice rang out, firm and resolute. It was a declaration.

“Is that so? You Solbergs must be very bold to dare to defy my father’s orders.” Alas, a sardonic voice cut through the air just as his words faded.

Gabriel had arrived, and with him came the Four Martial Servants.

The atmosphere outside the courthouse turned suffocating in the blink of an eye. The Four Martial Servants’ killing intent surged like a tidal wave, pressing down on Hazel, Stefan, and his wife.

Everyone trembled in terror.

The Norwoods, who had a front row seat to their tender mercies, swiftly collapsed to the ground. Each of them was shaking like a leaf.

They had been destroyed. So far, nearly 50 of them had taken their own lives after their family’s ruin.

The pressure Cain brought had left them with deep psychological scars.

James immediately dropped to his knees the instant Gabriel’s gaze landed on him. He scrambled forward on his knees, blubbering, “M-Mr. Gabriel! We came today to tell that bastard to turn himself in, so you wouldn’t have to act personally.

“However, they refused to listen and even let him escape!”

His accusation hit like a thunderclap. The shameless rat had twisted the truth just to throw them under the bus.

Hazel and the others’ expressions changed drastically.

Stefan and his wife burned with rage, but they could do nothing.

That was because Evan really had left. Who could have expected Cain’s reckoning to come this fast?

Gabriel’s expression turned icy.

“You Solbergs have got some nerve. How dare you shield that boy! I follow my father’s orders to the letter. I waited until he had no ties to your family before making a move… and this is how you repay me?
