Chapter 502: Chapter 502 The Nian Family is Annihilated

Nian Shutong’s casual "Eat up," made Yu Zeming realize something.

But how exactly did Boss Nian Shutong manage to get things done?

It didn’t seem like she really needed him as an eyewitness, right? Because she truly didn’t do anything, nor did she leave at all.

Even the trip to the restroom was only for a very short period, and she was very quick about it.

Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling had no idea what had actually happened, they just had a meal with Nian Shutong, nothing special.

The dinner table here was nearing its end, and at the other end, the Nian Family’s battle was also reaching its conclusion.

Four Fierce Beasts, on par with SSS rank in combat, had no need for any tricks. They fought with sheer force and in a matter of minutes, the Nian Family was reduced to ruins.

Everyone within the protective shield was dead.

Nian Shutong had shown no mercy. Innocent or unfortunate — the moment you enjoyed the benefits the Nian Family provided, you had sealed your fate for today.

To bask in glory was to be ready to face death together.

At this moment, Nian Shutong stood with her foot on someone, a person she had only heard of but never met — the Nian Family Patriarch.

"Nian Family Master, I hope you are well."

"You... who are you exactly?"

The Nian Family Master looked behind at the four massive beasts, powerless to resist.

He couldn’t overcome even one, yet now there were four behind him.

And the woman before him was just as inscrutable.

Why had the Nian Family provoked them? He truly didn’t know.

"Heh... Is this a tradition of the Nian Family, to ask your enemy who they are right before dying?"

Nian Shutong leaned over slightly, her eyes black as voids, dark as ink, mysterious and profound.

"You’re under attack by me and you still don’t know who I am? You are quite neglectful as a Family Head."

Under attack?

The Nian Family Master’s mind raced to the three shattered S-rank Light Computers, the missing butler, and all the people of the Nian Family.

"You... you’re that mysterious woman?"

"Right and wrong. It’s true that I’m that woman, but there’s nothing mysterious about me."

"Nian Family Master, it’s been less than a year and you’ve completely forgotten me."

"Yet it was the Nian Family who personally sent me and my husband to that planet!"

In the blink of an eye, the Nian Family Master put the pieces together.

She was Nian Shutong.

"You ——"

The Nian Family Master wanted to say something, but Nian Shutong didn’t give him a chance. With a palm strike, she ended his life, destroying his spiritual power, shattering his heart, and crushing his throat.

To die was to be thoroughly dead.

Nian Shutong rose to her feet, waved her hand, and a black flame engulfed the entire body of the Nian Family Patriarch, then she said to the four Zodiac Beasts:

"Let’s go."

Nian Shutong cast a Spell of Obscurement, leaving with the four Beasts from the ruins of the Nian Family, as the protective shield shattered behind them.

One minute after she left, the Legion arrived.

But by then, all that remained of the Nian Family was an empty space, with the ruins burning fiercely in flames.

"Put out the fire first and see if there are any survivors."

"Yes, sir!"

Those who arrived began fighting the fire, but these flames were strange indeed.

"Sir, the fire won’t go out."

The one called sir approached and tried water, sand, dirt...

Everything conceivable to extinguish a fire was used, but it was all to no effect, not even reducing the intensity of the flames.

The strange black flame seemed to have a boundary around it, inside which everything burned to ashes.

Beyond the boundary, not even a single hair was disturbed.

The Legion’s officers were at a loss and could only order the area to be cordoned off, prohibiting any approach by outsiders.

However, the curious were many, or it could be said that Nian Shutong’s high-profile actions and the ferocity of the four fierce beasts were too eye-catching.

Who wouldn’t know?

At this moment, the various families in the First, Second, and Third Districts had all received the news.

The Nian Family in the Third District were annihilated by one human and four beasts, leaving no survivors.

Each family might lament the fall of the Nian Family, but their focus was more on one piece of information:

The dead cannot be revived. The Nian Family no longer exists, so it was meaningless to ponder on it.

At this time, what they were more concerned about was: Who exactly were this one person and four beasts?

Why were each of the beasts’ abilities so strong? Could they withstand an attack if these creatures targeted them?

The answers varied, but even if they could win, it would not be an easy victory, and the death toll could be high.

Such estimated outcomes prompted deep reflection among the families.

When had such a force arisen in the interstellar community, one that was so powerful right from its first appearance?

Who was behind them? Or rather, could there be an even more formidable force behind them?

If there truly was, then what should they do?

Every family was diligently investigating the reason behind the Nian Family’s destruction, perhaps it was just a grudge and would not affect them.

Nevertheless, the families did not dare to fully trust this notion and involuntarily tightened their defenses, secretly sending out the geniuses and elites from their families for some time.

Meanwhile, the Royal Family naturally also received this news.

The Crown Prince gazed at the interstellar star map, lost in thought.

The person who had reported the news waited with a bowed waist for the Crown Prince’s orders, not daring to make any move.

The Crown Prince stared at a particular spot on the star map for a long time before finally turning around.

"Instruct Xiong Da to make a trip to Blue Star."

"As for the rest, wait until Xiong Da returns to discuss it."

"Yes."

The person waiting for the order turned and left to convey the command.

The Crown Prince turned back, looking at the position of Blue Star on the star map and murmured, "Is it really you?"

The Crown Prince knew more, was aware of the animosity between the Nian Family and Blue Star, and even knew about the first time the Nian Family sent people to Blue Star.

He did not like how the Nian Family operated, a family that was already rotting from the inside and never did things the right way; they were unworthy of his attention.

But that was not enough reason for Blue Star to casually annihilate a family, the interstellar laws should still be respected.

After all, what did the Nian Family do?

The Crown Prince did not believe that Nian Shutong from Blue Star had capriciously decided to eliminate the Nian Family; there must be an unspoken reason behind it.

Indeed it was so, but the Nian Family had gone in secret, almost no one knew, even if some people were aware they had left, no one knew their exact destination.

It was so secretive that Nian Shutong almost wanted to thank them.

Truly a divine helper.

The Crown Prince took his seat, more concerned about where those four fierce beasts had come from.

Could fierce beasts really fight for humans, or was it just on Blue Star?

Everything would have to wait for the results of the investigation.

At this time, the Star Network also started heating up with discussions, but the Royal Family seemed to have suppressed the news a bit, and the annihilation of the Nian Family only made it to the teens in the hot search rankings, not breaking into the top ten.

Nonetheless, there were still many people on the Star Network discussing it.

"I want to say the Nian Family deserved it; they never did anything good."

"Be careful upstairs, I’ve heard that the investigation team has already been dispatched."

"This method of combat, doesn’t it seem a bit familiar?"
