A piece of astonishing news circulated throughout the entire Celestial River County within one night!
The Duan family was no more!
They were the most powerful of the four major families, and the premier power in the county. However, within half a day, all of their Energy Martial Stage warriors above thirty years of age had been killed, and their young warriors were all laid off from their duties and occupations. Then, they had been detained to be exiled, while all of the female family members were returned to their original families. Furthermore, all of the Duan family’s shops were confiscated by the authorities.
No one could comprehend how those events had transpired.
The official statement issued by the mayor centered around an extensive list of thirty-seven crimes committed by the Duan family, including tax evasion, arms trafficking, establishment of monopolies in certain industries… Each and every one of the offenses was quite serious, so the punishment handed down was justified.
However…
Even an idiot knew that the Duan family was above the law!
The Duan family had been committing those crimes for many years, so why they were being addressed after such a long time? Additionally, how was the Duan family prosecuted without any trial or investigation?
There were definitely some hidden circumstances involved.
Leaked pieces of insider information suggested that the Colosseum was closely related to the fall of the Duan family!
As a result, everyone in the Celestial River County suddenly held Master Thirteen in much higher regard.
