---- Chapter 2871 Everyone inside and outside of the restaurant felt their blood run cold. People from thesewless regions had seen their fair share of violence and bloodshed, but they had never seen someone strike as brutally and as fast as Marshall did. He was clearly a big shot, and hisbat skills were absolutely terrifying. Instantly, the townspeople realized just how serious this situation had be. Marshall sat back down, ready to continue his unfinished meal. However, the steak was sttered with streaks of dark red from the blood that had sprayed onto it earlier.
Disgust and contempt shed across his face. The food was no longer worth eating What he did not know was that his leftover steak could have bought him a pure, young girl for the night in this town. Out here in the wastnd, food was scarce, and anyone who could afford premium cuts of steak was either rich or powerful. Two men came rushing over, their faces dark with anger. "What''s the meaning of this? Why would you kill my men for no reason?'' the first man demanded furiously. His right hand stayed tucked under his leather coat, ready to draw at any ---- moment.
Marshall nced at him dismissively and said tly, "Who the hell are you?" The man had rough features, and his face twisted with rage. "I''m the mayor of this town, Alec Kent! I don''t care who you are or where you''re from. You killed my men on my turf, so you''re going to pay for it. Give me 200 thousand dors, or you stay here until your familyes through with ransom money!" Marshallughed. It was augh full of contempt, the kind that came from someone looking down on all living things. Someone daring to extort the Ludendorff family in the wastnds was a rare joke indeed.
It was the first time he had ever encountered something so absurd. Marshall said coldly, "I''m in a bad mood, so you''d better get lost while you still can. Otherwise, you''ll end up just like your garbage subordinates: dead." After that, he walked toward the exit, only to suddenly stop and ''turn back. His indifferent gaze locked onto Alec. "By the way, about two hours before I got here, did a Holtrien man pass through your town?" Alec still had not realized how serious the situation was. In his ---- eyes, there was nothing but wounded pride and savage rage.
He could not believe that a punk actually dared to disrespect him on his own turf. Did he really think he was as useless as the dead trash on the floor? "You want information?" Alec growled through gritted teeth, extending his hand with a vicious grin. "Sure! Pay up, and I''l tell you whether any Holtrien man came through. Otherwise, you won''t learn a damn thing, and you''ll still owe mepensation!" He looked Marshall up and down, his heart racing with greed. He could tell Marshall definitely came from money. If someone like that came to his town, they would have to pay the toll.
Marshall shook his head, wondering if maybe he had been too kind, too easygoing. This pig-headed fool was really pushing his luck now. His entire focus was on tracking down Andrew, so he had zero interest in or patience for outsiders. Yet, this insignificant ant refused to serve him properly, repeatedly defying his demands instead. Marshall''s right hand suddenly sliced through the air, and a cold gleam shed for just an instant. Alec''s outstretched hand, still demanding payment, was severed ---- cleanly at the wrist. Blood sprayed everywhere as the severed hand rolled across the floor.
Alec let out an earth-shattering shriek, nearly passing out from the pain. "Kill him! Kill him now!" he roared. Gunfire erupted instantly, but it was useless. Every bullet stopped about an inch from Marshall''s body, held in ce by an invisible force. Marshall''s eyes shed blood-red for just a moment. In a blur, he shed through the room repeatedly like a lightning-fast harvesting machine. When his figure finally came to a stop, everything was over. More than a dozen gunmen, the entire armed force of the town, were all dead.
