Chapter 414

In the past, when the Fuller family was the wealthiest in Khogend, who would’ve dared behave so brazenly?
Now, after their downfall, everyone in the city seemed eager to kick them while they were
down.
Dexter was so enraged he almost coughed up blood!
The commotion was so overwhelming it seemed like a group of bandits were raiding a village.
Even Myra, who stayed in the bedroom, was alarmed. She rushed out, and upon seeing the chaotic scene before her, exclaimed in shock, “What are you doing?”
They just ignored her.
Dexter thought of calling out for his bodyguards, but after looking around, he realized that the few who were still employed were already pinned down to the ground by the crowd. Even their mouths were gagged.
That was the last straw!
Dexter turned around and grabbed an antique sword from his collection from the shelf behind him. With one swift motion, he swung it down and split the wine cabinet beside him in half!
The expensive bottles of wine inside shattered with a loud crash. The rich aroma filled the air in the room as crimson liquid spilled across the floor.
His dramatic action stunned everyone.
To be precise, it was the extremely sharp sword that intimidated them.
“Get out! Every last one of you!”
With the sword in hand, Dexter roared furiously as his face twisted with fury, “I’ll cut down.
anyone who dares to take another step forward! You’re welcome to try me if you’re not afraid of death!”
For a moment, no one dared to test the sword’s edge with their life.
The person who struck Dexter earlier didn’t step forward, but he didn’t back off either. Instead, he sneered, “We’ll leave if you hand over the map! Otherwise, let’s see how long you can keep running away from us!”
“What map?” Myra interjected, her furious expression taking on a hint of confusion.
However, her question only earned her mocking laughs from the crowd.
“Quite the actress, aren’t you? I didn’t expect you to be so talented.”
Myra was at a complete loss of what they were talking about. She turned to Dexter, who let out a bitter laugh, unsure of how to express his current state of mind.
Finally, the trespassers were the ones to explain the situation to her. Myra listened for a long time and was unable to make heads or tails of it all until someone finally threw the fake map at
her feet.
The markings on the fake map were blurred, completely different from the genuine one she had seen that day!
Myra was dumbfounded. She couldn’t figure out at what point did things go wrong or how the map they personally delivered had turned into this counterfeit.
in amount of
At this point, explaining would convince these people. Outsiders would only assume they had hidden the real map and provided a counterfeit to deceive everyone.
Even if they tried to recreate the map from memory, it would be useless. There was no way they could remember how the mountains and rivers on the map corresponded to the stars.
Their mistake was that they chose not to take a photo of the map or leave any other evidence when they handed it over as their goal had been to distance themselves from the map.
Now, no amount of justification could clear their names!
Myra’s face turned deathly pale as she staggered backward.
The desperado who had been most vocal throughout the raid stepped forward and shoved her, threatening, “Where’s the map? Are you handing it over or not?”
There was no way Dexter could tolerate anyone laying a hand on his wife like that. His body. trembled with rage as he raised the sword and swung it down with all his might.
The desperado quickly moved aside, dodging the blade.
The sword struck the floor, leaving a fissure in its wake.
