Chapter 283: Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Julia’s Sorrow
At the entrance of the cave, Black Marsh Rhinotigers were guarding the place! When they saw Sean, they let out a low growl, their eyes brightened, and they immediately stood up to greet him. They wagged their heads and tails, their huge butts swaying as if they were trying to please Sean like a tail-wagging dog! They had lost their previous majesty! Sean kicked Black Marsh Rhinotigers’ butt and scolded, “Stop flirting in front of me! Be a man! If you dare to do this again, I’ll twist your head off, skin you, and roast your meat!”
Black Marsh Rhinotigers retracted its neck in fear! This fellow was a spirit beast and could understand human nature. It had just submitted to Sean and became his pet. It had tried to please Sean by adopting a dog-like attitude, but Sean didn’t buy it! Sean could hardly stand the sight of it.
As Sean walked towards the cave, Black Marsh Rhinotigers let out another earth-shattering roar. This time, it was powerful and domineering, startling the birds and beasts within miles. The king of beasts’ aura was on full display! “That’s more like it!” Sean, already at the entrance of the cave, couldn’t help but turn around and give Black Marsh Rhinotigers a thumbs-up. Its eyes blinked, as if to say, “So, the new master likes this…”
The cave was very long and wide, but the entrance was designed to be narrow, only allowing a single person to pass through. Therefore, Black Marsh Rhinotigers had to stay outside!
“Boss!” “Boss!” “Boss!” Black Marsh Rhinotigers’ roar alerted the Bloody Wolf Group members at the other end of the cave, and they came to greet Sean. “Hmm,” Sean nodded and handed Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter to Shadow Wolf, indicating, “Find a place to wake them up and make some arrangements. I have some questions to ask them later.”
“Alright!” Shadow Wolf and the others exchanged glances and smiled, “Boss, don’t worry!” “In ten minutes,” “I guarantee that they will answer whatever you ask them!” Shadow Wolf and the others had followed Sean for many years and had an excellent rapport with him. They naturally knew what Sean meant by “arrangements” – it was just interrogation under torture!
At this time, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were still preoccupied with using the Dragon Cauldron to refine the viscera of the Black Scaled Python, leaving them no time to look after others. However, even without Pupil Wolf’s bewitching eyes, Shadow Wolf and his companions had countless ways to pry open the mouths of Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter. It was a piece of cake for them!
So, Sean went to the other end of the cave by himself.
Shadow Wolf and his companions had purchased a considerable amount of daily necessities and food, enough for more than a dozen people to last a week. The ground was already covered with bedding. Cecelia, Phyllis, and Julia were sitting on one of the beddings, chatting leisurely.
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were immersed in their cultivation.
King of Night, as before, stood at the entrance of the cave. The mountain breeze blew, making his black robe dance wildly. He stood there like a wooden stake, not moving at all. No one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Sean, Phyllis leaped with joy, stood up, and jumped three feet high, directly pouncing on Sean like a little kitten, impossible to shake off.
Sean held her in his arms and playfully teased her.
Cecelia also stood up. Under the fire’s glow, she noticed the bloodstains on Sean’s body and asked worriedly, “Honey, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, my dear wife!” Sean replied with a shake of his head and a smile. “You and Phyllis are waiting for me here; how could I let anything happen to me?”
Cecelia silently hugged Sean.
The family of three embraced each other, warming each other’s bodies with sweet nothings and laughter, creating an atmosphere of peace and warmth that made others envious.
For example…
Julia, who was sitting alone on her bedding.
If, before this, Julia had developed a slight affection for Sean and held a tiny bit of fantasy about him, now, after briefly interacting with Cecelia and Phyllis and especially after seeing their happy family, her affection and fantasy were shattered.
To be honest, she was very envious of Cecelia.
As a woman, Cecelia had such an outstanding and loving husband and a cute, well-behaved daughter.
But what about her?
All she had was a seemingly prestigious title of a county princess, which imprisoned her in a cage since childhood, depriving her of the freedom and joy that comes with true friends and the love she yearned for.
Moreover, misfortune never came singly.
She became a tool in her father’s hands, pushed into the fire by Prince Adam himself.
She became a pawn in the power struggle between Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe, unknowingly becoming Fergus Archer’s fiancée.
No one ever asked for her opinion.
No one ever cared about her thoughts.
No one ever considered her feelings.
Her life seemed to have been a mistake from the beginning, destined to become a tragedy.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
Sad and even desperate, tears broke free from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, wetting her beautiful, pale, and haggard face.
…
Five minutes later, King of Night suddenly turned around, looked at Sean, and asked, “Tell me, what did you do?”
He had given Sean five minutes for a family reunion.
Now, it was time to talk about serious matters!
Cecelia was startled, glanced at King of Night, picked up Phyllis, and returned to her seat on the bedding, not wanting to interrupt the conversation between Sean and King of Night.
Sean’s smile gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly, “I did what I had to do.”
“After tonight, the capital will no longer have the Mason family, and the Porter family will change hands!”
Before leaving, Sean had told King of Night that he would capture those who needed to be captured and kill those who needed to be killed. Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter had been captured by him, and those from the Mason family and the Porter family who tried to stop him had been killed.
It was that simple!
Upon hearing this, both Cecelia and Julia’s faces changed slightly, their hearts trembling.
The Mason family… had ultimately been annihilated by Sean, after all?
As for the grudges between Sean and the Mason family, both Cecelia and Julia were well aware of it. However, Cecelia was concerned about Sean’s safety, while Julia wondered if Sean would take revenge on her father after retaliating against the Porter family.
“Good!”
“Very good!”
King of Night nodded and asked, “Did you kill Fergus Archer?”
Before this, King of Night had said that Padishah lent the Dragon Cauldron to Sean to help him break through, hoping that Sean would kill Fergus Archer after the breakthrough.
“No!”
Sean shook his head, “Fergus Archer’s life is still useful!”
“Oh?”
King of Night frowned, “What’s the use?”
Instead of answering directly, Sean said meaningfully, “Don’t worry, Night, he won’t escape the capital!”
“On the wedding day!”
“I will kill this thief in front of everyone!”
Upon hearing this, Julia’s heart trembled, and she vaguely heard the hidden meaning in Sean’s words.
Prince Adam and Prince Roscoe were, after all, royal princes with unparalleled status. Even if Sean bore a grudge against them for their previous actions, he couldn’t directly confront them.
As for Prince Ashby, he was the rival of Prince Adam and Prince Roscoe, eager to eliminate them.
Fergus Archer was a fearless and reckless man, a top cultivator in the Bright Realm. On the wedding day, if Julia didn’t show up, Prince Ashby and Fergus Archer wouldn’t let Prince Adam off easily.
So, Sean deliberately spared Fergus Archer’s life, waiting for the wedding day to take action. Was he trying to kill two birds with one stone?
Julia looked deeply at Sean, and her tears welled up again, her heart filled with sorrow, thinking, “You probably never considered my feelings, did you?”
“After all, he is my biological father!”
“At that time, caught in the middle, how should I handle it?”
King of Night clearly understood Sean’s intentions and nodded, “In that case, do as you wish.”
“Let’s go!”
“I’ll accompany you to interrogate Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter from the Mason family.”
Sean was a bit surprised.
“I’m going too!”
Cecelia stood up again, as Sean’s wife, she wanted to know everything about him.
Sean didn’t refuse.
He called back four of the Shadow Wolf members to guard Phyllis, and then went with Cecelia and King of Night to interrogate Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter.
In a cramped corner of the cave, Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter had awakened, surrounded by the Shadow Wolf members, shivering and covered in blood, their faces full of pain and fear.
They didn’t know what kind of torment they had just endured.
“Boss!”
Shadow Wolf said triumphantly, “We can start now!”
Sean looked down at Old Mrs. Mason and Pierce Porter, his face as cold as ice, and said in a deep voice, “I ask, you answer!”
“Remember!”
“You only have one chance!”
“Refuse to answer!”
“Or try to deceive me with false information…”
“Then you die!”
