The members of the Zhuo family were all led out, and as they were being taken away, other people began to arrive. These newcomers were key figures from other prominent families, including those from the Chang family, the Xiao family, and the Zheng family. They had come to find out what had happened to their respective heads of families and to ensure they hadn't run into any danger.
However, as they stepped into the living room and caught sight of the corpses on the floor, they couldn't believe their eyes. They never imagined that in such a short span of time, their own patriarchs would be lying there dead, their eyes wide open in an eternal, unfinished gaze. The situation left them completely bewildered. To them, the head of a great family was a figure of supreme authority, someone held in the highest regard. To see them lying there lifeless—truly dead—was impossible to accept. The men they considered the most powerful had been killed just like that; it was simply unfathomable.
"Who!" one of the young men roared in fury. "Who killed our patriarch? Who killed my grandfather? I’m going to kill him!"
