The steward screamed like a pig being slaughtered, alternating between begging for mercy and issuing threats. However, the guards of the Xu Mansion were accustomed to throwing their weight around in the Shattered Domain, with each having blood on their hands. Since the Family Head had given the order, they were unhesitating in their actions, snapping the steward's limbs with a series of crunching sounds while also breaking several of his smaller bones, causing him to scream in agony.
This was not the end of it; Xu Jingfeng then ordered them to break the limbs of the accompanying soldiers as well, and afterward, they were all carried and dumped into a muddy pond outside of town.
With all eyesores removed, those present at the banquet removed their masks and officially began the feast.
Seated at the center was naturally Wei Yuan, accompanied by the young masters and mistresses of noble families he had brought along.
