After that, Valois' corpse was sent back to the Davier family, causing an uproar.
At that moment, they were already prepared for battle, ready to annihilate Nathan with shock and awe.
They had assumed Nathan had given up hope and was waiting for his death.
However, contrary to their expectations, Nathan had disposed of Valois and sent his corpse back to them as a warning.
The hundreds of family members and loyal associates, together with tens of thousands of subordinates, gathered at the Davier family residence. Surrounding Valois' body, they called out for blood and revenge against Nathan.
“Nathan will never learn his lesson until he is dead. As of now, he continues to act with impunity.”
“This can't be tolerated any further. There's no need to wait for the showdown. We should hold him accountable today and send him to meet his maker.”
“Exactly. Not only are we going to kill him as revenge for Valois, but his family and friends will also be made to pay.”
“That's right. Let's go and annihilate his family right now.”
Just when everyone was riled up and prepared to exact revenge on Nathan, someone suddenly called out, “Mr. Davier is here!”
The crowd quietened down and opened a path for Clifford.
Next, they saw Clifford approach gradually surrounded by Spook and other captains of the Davier family.
Everyone greeted Clifford with their heads hung low, “Mr. Davier!”
“Mr. Davier!”
“Mr. Davier!”
Clifford's expression was sullen. Ignoring the greetings, he walked up to Valois' body followed by Spook and his other captains.
Lowering his gaze at his brother's corpse, his eyes were filled with anger and sadness. For a long while, he didn't say a word.
Everyone else at the scene maintained their silence, causing the atmosphere to be eerily quiet.
