GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2274 2274: Public Beheading.

The fate weaver did what her master asked her to do, so the spirit of the handler dissipated silently as if it was natural.

No one noticed anything out of the ordinary because the curse had been cast before, not now. It was just taking effect now, so the onlookers thought that the spirit had been exhausted.

This was a shame to the gang leaders, but it wasn’t too much of a loss because they had already found enough evidence to convict Cedric.

The gangs and their leaders went together as one to storm the manor of the Edwin family. They came for blood and vengeance and weren’t willing to leave without having it.

Unfortunately for them, they came too late. Apparently, Cedric had escaped yesterday when the matter of the handler was exposed.

Sir Kriss was the one who came out to tell them that. He also said that he was disappointed with Cedric’s behavior, which was why he decided to publicly disown his son.

He cut himself in front of everyone and shed his blood onto the ground as he swore, “From today onwards, Cedric ceases to be my son and ceases to be of my blood. He is a wanted criminal and will be killed for his crime if apprehended.”

The gangs weren’t satisfied with this, but there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn’t attack Sir Kriss for the sin of his son. They could only accept that they were free to kill Cedric if they saw him.

Sir Kriss’s announcement appeased the gangs somewhat because it didn’t matter if what he said was true; they now had the right to kill Cedric on sight for his crimes after being disowned publicly.

So Cedric had better have escaped for his life, even if his father was lying. This and the fact that Sir Kriss was willing to pay compensation to the families of the deceased made the crowd of angry people disperse.

After everyone left, Sir Kriss returned to his house with a cold face. He went straight to his study, where he could think in peace.

Along the way to his study, he thought to himself, “Well done.”

“You might be responsible for the death of my daughter, but you’re definitely responsible for the public death of my son.”

The matter of him disowning his son is a very serious matter. He is the person with the highest authority in the Edwin family and the person currently in control of the Ancestral Power divine ability.

So he is in control of the Edwin lineage and has the final say in all matters related to the bloodline. By publicly disowning his son, he has truly severed Cedric’s link to the lineage.

So Cedric is now an outsider to the lineage. He can never inherit anything from the Edwin lineage.

Cedric can’t use the power from the lineage as a foundation for his rank 1 Noble Blood divine ability, and even if Cedric becomes a rank 6 noble in the future, he will have to start another ancestral power.

All in all, Cedric might actually be dead to him. So Sir Kriss is very angry about it.

He is angry with the Golden Hammer gang for setting up his son. He is very angry with them, but he hasn’t let the anger blind him to reason.

After thinking about it for a while, he can admit that his son also had a part to play in this outcome and should bear some of the blame, if not most of the blame.

It was his son who started the scheme and wanted to use it against someone else. All that the Golden Hammer gang did was use the weapon he had bought and polished for something else.

The Golden Hammer gang had turned the weapon that was supposed to stab them onto their neighbor and put the whole blame on his stupid son. To be honest, he shouldn’t blame them for what they did.

If he were a bystander, he would be impressed with what the Golden Hammer gang did and would even applaud them. But he is not a bystander in the matter.

He is a father who just lost his son and has to do something as embarrassing as disowning his son in public in order to appease the people who wanted to kill his son.

He had to do what he did because the other families refused to support him and protect Cedric. He told them what happened so they knew the truth of the matter and knew that Cedric’s scheme was being used against him, but they still refused to support Cedric.

They refused to protect Cedric because he was a loser to them, and the game was set up to eliminate foolish people like him. The game was set up so that they wouldn’t waste their time and resources supporting foolish people like Cedric, so they told Sir Kriss to give him up.

As outsiders, they were even able to appreciate the Golden Hammer gang’s scheme. But he couldn’t do that. He had to be the one to disown his son in front of everyone.

The only thing that came out of this matter from them was that all of the noble families had decided to explicitly ban secret attacks, infiltrations, and assassinations. They even promised to crack down on any gang that employs these schemes by punishing the crime with death.

The first target for reproach will be the gang leader of the Five Gears gang. This was the machinist.

He was the one who sent two assassins to kill the leaders of the Golden Hammer gang. He even exposed the fact that he did so publicly, so he couldn’t deny the offense.

They don’t plan to kill him for the offense. They don’t want to go that far. But the noble families will ban him from the game forever, and he will be forced to step down as leader of his gang immediately.
