Chapter 441: Chapter 442: Yama Teaches a Lesson
Before leaving, Aiden Howard didn’t let go of any graves, burying a bomb in front of each tombstone inscribed with the "Leland" family name.
The two men walked away. Aiden Howard watched the frequency of the lightning in the sky, calculated the timing of the thunder, and at the exact moment a thunderclap sounded, he pressed the detonator in his hand, blowing up the entire cemetery.
Instantly, the cemetery was a scene of devastation, white bones exposed and scattered everywhere, making it impossible to tell who was who. Many skeletons were also shattered. It was a truly gruesome scene.
"King of Hell, you better not fall into Master Leland’s hands!" Brett Jacobs thought. Otherwise, he would surely die a horrible death.
"In a fight between Master Leland and Sixth Master, of course, Sixth Master wins! With Sixth Master backing me, what do I have to fear?"
"..."
"Enough talk! Hurry up and grab these bones; we have a lot to do tonight," Aiden Howard said.
Brett Jacobs was speechless. Resignedly, he picked up two large bags filled with skeletons and left the cemetery. He couldn’t stand spending another moment with this psychopath Aiden Howard in this ghostly place.
「Massacre Memorial Pit, Sileria City.」
During Raelnia’s invasion of the country, almost an entire city’s population was massacred, and their remains were all buried in this pit. The people of Sileria City also called this place the "Pit of Ten Thousand," using "ten thousand" to describe the sheer number of people who had been slaughtered and buried there.
"King of Hell, what are you trying to do?" Brett Jacobs couldn’t understand why they had come to this place.
"I consulted a Geomancy Expert. They said this place has the most potent malevolent energy. Burying remains here ensures they will never find peace."
"Do you really believe this?" Brett Jacobs didn’t believe it. People like them, who lived dangerously, wouldn’t believe such things.
"It doesn’t matter if I believe it, as long as someone else does."
That person, of course, was Master Leland. Older people are more superstitious, especially those who lived in Master Leland’s time, when people generally believed in geomancy.
Aiden Howard smashed the bones of Master Leland’s grandparents and parents into pieces, then threw them into the "Pit of Ten Thousand." Even if Master Leland found out, it would be absolutely impossible to find his ancestors’ remains in that pit filled with tens of thousands of corpses!
Brett Jacobs was already numb to it all and said nothing.
By the time the two of them finished their work, the sky had begun to lighten.
Not wanting to be exposed, Brett Jacobs said to Aiden Howard, "Let’s go."
"Alright."
However, Aiden Howard picked up the remains of Milo Leland’s parents instead of throwing them into the pit. Brett Jacobs curiously asked, "Why not throw Milo Leland’s parents’ bones in?"
"I’m going to feed them to the ’dogs’!"
Brett Jacobs: ...
「Moon View District.」
This was where Milo Leland had recently set up his mistress, and he had been spending his nights here lately. Aiden Howard had already investigated this thoroughly.
When they sneaked into Milo Leland’s house, they found him sleeping with his obviously underage mistress in his arms.
"Such a disgrace, exploiting a girl so young," Aiden Howard muttered.
Aiden Howard spotted a vase filled with water, walked over, picked it up, removed the flowers, and tossed them onto the floor. Stepping on the discarded blooms, he approached Milo Leland’s bedside.
Sleeping like a pig. He wouldn’t even know how he died.
If Aiden Howard had wanted to kill him, the man wouldn’t have known what hit him; his situational awareness was abysmal. Even when Aiden Howard was with a woman, *he* remained constantly alert.
Aiden Howard poured the water from the vase onto Milo Leland’s pig-like face, jolting him awake from his pleasant dream.
Furious, he cursed, "Damn it, which bastard ruined my wonderful dream!"
"That would be I, your grandfather!" Aiden Howard laughed.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, they all call me King of Hell!"
Seeing the two men who had suddenly appeared, Milo Leland mustered his courage and threatened, "What do you want? Let me tell you, I am Master Leland’s adopted son! If you don’t want to die, get out of here!"
Aiden Howard moved away from the bedside and picked up the two large bags they had brought. With a clatter, he dumped the bones onto the floor. The young woman who had woken up beside Milo screamed in terror. Aiden Howard took out his gun and pointed it at her. "Scream again, and I’ll blow your head off!"
The woman immediately shut her mouth, clinging to Milo Leland, trembling, not daring to even look at Aiden Howard.
"What do you want?" Milo Leland asked, his voice trembling.
Aiden Howard stepped on a leg bone. CRACK! It snapped. The sound sent a chill down one’s spine; these weren’t pork ribs, they were human bones.
"Do you recognize these two on the ground?"
Milo Leland broke out in a cold sweat. Where did this lunatic come from?
"What do you want to do?"
"I asked you, do you recognize these two on the ground?"
"You bastard! It’s a pile of broken bones. How the hell am I supposed to know who they are?"
Aiden Howard took out his dagger. It was incredibly sharp, had tasted the blood of many, and seemed to hum with a thirst for more.
"You ungrateful whelp! I’m going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents! To think you don’t even recognize your own mother and father!"
Milo Leland was stunned. "What are you saying?"
"The ones lying on the ground are your biological parents!"
"How... how is that possible?"
"How is it not possible?" Aiden Howard walked over and sat down beside Milo Leland.
"What do you want?" Milo Leland was terrified.
Under the pressure of Aiden Howard’s killing intent, Milo Leland was like a rabbit cornered by a wolf, too scared to even twitch.
"You like digging up graves, don’t you? I went and dug some up tonight myself. It was quite fun."
"You’re working for Sienna Johnson."
"No!"
"Then why are you meddling in her affairs?"
Aiden Howard laughed. "Because she is our master’s woman!"
"You bullied our master’s woman, and our master is displeased. So, he sent me to teach you a lesson."
"..."
"Of all the people you could provoke, why did you choose our Sixth Master?"
"..."
"You’re lucky. Our master had urgent matters to attend to and asked me to deal with you. Otherwise, if our Sixth Master had taken action, you wouldn’t have gotten off so cheaply." Aiden Howard looked at Milo’s piggish face, fighting the urge to carve the flesh from his bones, piece by piece.
"Who is your master?"
"You ask too many questions."
Aiden Howard wasn’t here to chat.
Aiden Howard got up, took out the bone crusher they had brought, plugged it in, and tossed all the bones inside. WHIRR... CRUNCH... GRIND... The gruesome sounds and the violent, macabre scene were too much for the young woman; she fainted. Milo Leland was drenched in a cold sweat, his face deathly pale.
These people aren’t human! They’re monsters!
"How can you be so cruel!" Milo Leland exclaimed furiously.
Those were his parents’ remains, after all. Even though Milo Leland had been adopted by Master Leland, he still had feelings for his biological parents.
"Cruel? Yes, it is very cruel. However, this is all your fault. Because you dug up other people’s graves, your parents are the ones suffering the consequences." Aiden Howard then continued his work, feeding bones into the crusher.
