That night, everyone from the Yaleman family had their limbs broken and released to the West, where the Yalemans resided.
In the Yaleman manor, Chad cursed, "I'll wipe out your whole family, Nathan! I will avenge my sons!” The valuable antique vases were smashed into pieces, and all the calligraphy were torn into shreds, making a mess out of the floor.
Chad's face was contorted, and his veins bulged. It only took a few days, and both of his sons were dead. Not only was Carl killed in a foreign town, but his remains were also nowhere to be seen.
His family and servants gave him a wide berth, and none dared approach the study, for they feared that Chad would kill them. Then, a tall, sturdy man came into the study. This man was none other than Chad's brother, Rowan.
Rowan said darkly, "Chad, Carl died in Channing, and his remains are gone. How should we even hold a funeral for him."
Chad replied hatefully, "Assemble all the men. I shall be making a trip to Channing to search for my son's body and wipe out the Cross family."
"We might be famous in the West, but not in Channing." Rowan replied. "Nathan's a top dog there, so if we go there without a plan, not only would we fail in retrieving Carl's body, but we might also lose our lives too."
"So are we just going to forget about this?!" Chad roared.
"Of course not." Rowan shook his head. "We can split this into two phases. First, we get Carl's body back, then we avenge them.”
Chad cooled down and asked for Rowan to elaborate.
"We don't have any connections in Channing, so Nathan has nothing to fear from us. It's not certain we'd get Carl's remains back if we went there. I suggest we ask our old friend, Warren, for help. He can send someone to retrieve Carl's remains. Once we get Carl back, we can start planning for revenge."
