My Waste Husband
Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259

The scene of Placido kneeling down in the air caused the people in the city to widen their eyes. Although the Chu Family's influence was not as strong as before, they could still stand up against the Colver Family. Yet now, he was kneeling in front of so many people. This was...

Still hiding in one corner, Jacindo's face had turned green with terror.

Henry Zhang! This person who had been constantly creating commotions was actually Henry!

Henry stood in the air with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at Knox and said, "From today onwards, you, Knox, are relieved from your position as the lord of Eastern City."

Knox's face showed extreme dissatisfaction. Even though the lord of every city could be regarded as the spokesperson for the Archbishops of the corresponding continent, the Eastern City was somewhat special.

Knox gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Zhang, you..."

Henry's pupils shrank, and a sky of purple light burst towards Knox.

In the midst of the purple light that filled the sky, Knox, who was still mid-air, was sent flying like a cannonball and smashed heavily into the ground.

A loud explosion could be heard, and smokes of dust rose from the ground. When the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge crater appeared in everyone's sights. Knox lay limp in the centre of the crater, it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Weren't my words clear enough to you?"

Henry's voice sounded again.

He was able to heavily injure Knox with a single strike! Such a display of power, caused the expressions of those within the City Lord's Mansion's to change drastically.

A gigantic purple sword condensed in the sky. The tip it was pointed downwards. Right under the tip of sword lay the heavily injured Knox.

Henry raised his arm as if he was announcing a trial. "Colver Family, are you serious about not giving up the power and authority of Eastern City?"

Although the purple sword was still in suspended in the air, the sharp aura of the sword had already cut through Knox's skin.

The city was dead silent.

Henry's raised arm swung downwards in a single

motion.

The purple sword plummeted vertical from the sky.

"Alright! We will do as you say!"

A loud roar rang out from within the Eastern City.

The divine purple sword came to an abrupt halt. At that moment, the tip of the sword, which seemed capable of ultimate destruction, was less than three centimetres away from the tip of Knox's nose. The sharp aura that emanated from the tip of the sword made Knox feel as if his body were about to be ripped apart.

At that moment, Knox was completely unable to garner any of his Qi. He felt that breathing had already become a difficult task for him.

Henry, who was still in the air, snorted and said, "You've made a wise choice. Before the Colver Family retires, please issue one last order to repair the walls and fill the trenches of the city." Later that night.

The chaos within Eastern City gradually subsided, and the corpses on the street had been disposed by the guards. People worked spontaneously to rebuild and repair the destroyed houses. In this world where many Qi practitioners resided, repairing the houses was not a difficult task.

Henry sat on the throne of the City Lord's

Mansion.

Lisamari and Cheryln stood behind Henry, still portraying the role of maids. Although they were maids, even Placido did not dare to offend them.

However, the two girls were not happy with their sudden promotion. It could be visibly seen how scared they were from how they were constantly trembling.

Knox and Placido stood before Henry, while the upper echelons of the Colver and Chu Family stood behind them.

Jacindo also stood behind Placido with his head lowered, not even daring to raise his head.

As for Trahern, he stood behind Henry. His face pale as death and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Henry held a teacup and blew at it gently. After a few sips, he said, "Both of your families, one being descendants of Sandford Chu, the other being descendants of Immortal Lu, tasked with the responsibility of watching over Eastern City. Yet in order to preserve your strength, you closed your doors and hid behind it when the demons attacked. Is this how you people protect the city?"

Placido and Knox both remained silent.

Henry sipped on the tea again, the whole hall of the City Lord's Mansion was silent. Only the sound of Ranjeet eating by the side could be heard.

When Henry finished the tea in his hand, he waved at them and said, "Go back, all of you. From now on, you are not allowed to leave Eastern City, if you do I will seek you out personally."

Henry put down the teacup and then no longer looked at Placido and Knox.

Knox and Placido understood his words. Without saying a word, they turned and led their men away from the City Lord's mansion.

After the Colver Family and the Chu Family had left, only Ranjeet who was busy eating, Henry, Lisamari, Cherlyn, and Trahern remained in the entire hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Could you please get me some more hot water?" Henry pointed to the teacup in his hand.

Cherlyn's hands trembled, then brought a kettle of water and filled Henry's teacup.

Henry looked to Trahern and said, "What's the matter? Still wondering how I knew?"

Trahern's body trembled as he nodded.

Henry stretched and said, "Frankly, you didn't display any flaws. It's just that you don't know enough about the psychological activity of a bounty hunter."

Henry glanced at Lisamari and Cherlyn. "To a bounty hunter, money is everything. I have been to brothels several times, hinting that I prefer mature women. Since you have already regarded me as a cash cow, why do you still insist on having them by my side? Moreover, I have hinted to you many times in front of them that if you had really bought them both with cash, they would probably contact me voluntarily, but unfortunately, not once did they even do that. It proves that the relationship between you and them is not what it would seem to be on the surface."

"Of course." Henry snapped his fingers. "This is only one point. During this period of time, I have learned about the distribution of power in Eastern City. Although the Chu Family seems weak and hides underground, the Colver Family is not unaware of it. Every time the Chu Family sends someone to buy food supplies in the city, it is always acquiesced by the Colver Family. They also know that they can't wipe out the Chu Family. As a bounty hunter who has to count on the knowledge of your surroundings to survive, you should have known all of this, yet you still dared to act on the people in the granary, and even wanted to capture the people of the Chu Family. How was that reasonable? So that meant someone had arranged for you to keep an eye on me, right?"

Trahern did not make a sound.

"My...my lord... your tea..." Cherlyn handed the newly-made tea to Henry.

"Thank you." Henry smiled, took the teacup from Cherlyn, blew at it, and suddenly looked out of the door. "By the way, there is also you. You also have a flaw. Please come in."

Trahern was horrified.

Henry continued to speak, "We are old friends. Why do you have to cover up? In the view of outsiders, we had spent several nights together."

"Amazing." A woman's voice sounded from outside the door. Then Aeeshah drifted down from the top and appeared in front of the hall of the mansion. "I would really like to know where my flaw is."
