Instigator and Protector of Violence-Chapter 354: Another Sweltering Morning

The next morning.

The weather returned to its original sweltering heat, as if the rain from last night had never fallen.

Then, the first news that pierced through this hot morning was—

Jesse is dead.

Who is Jesse?

Just hearing this name would leave most people baffled, but mentioning his surname would make many things clear.

His surname is Eriman.

Jesse Eriman.

The second young master of the Eriman family.

Last night, he gathered a large group of Royal Capital nobles at his home, seemingly just to provoke Johnny Blackbird.

As if to say, come on, come kill me.

In the end, the outcome was that nothing happened.

Johnny Blackbird turned to assassinate other members of the Eriman family last night, and failed.

Originally, various newspapers had prepared today’s edition just to mock and attack Johnny Blackbird.

After all, Johnny Blackbird has been around for a long time, and before this, he had almost no record of failures. This time, he openly predicted a murder and failed, enough to damage his reputation.

However, at the last moment before the newspapers were sent out, some well-informed people suddenly received new news.

Jesse is dead.

This changes everything, it means Johnny Blackbird successfully completed his predicted murder, he truly killed a noble with the letter A in their surname.

Jesse Eriman.

This result was so surprising that many newspapers were unprepared, benefiting those who received the news first.

For example, Herlosh.

The Kingdom Deep Observation Report once again became the best-selling newspaper in the Royal Capital.

Because it not only reported Jesse Eriman’s death first but also covered the progress of the Port District dispute, even including news from the South District.

Making many people exclaim in excitement, realizing that so much had happened on such a seemingly ordinary night.

Apart from Johnny Blackbird’s successful murder again, the Port District dispute also had a resolution.

According to unreliable sources, a sudden sea storm swept over Sea King Lockeby’s home last night, and then Sea King Lockeby seemed to realize something, arriving at the Sea God Sect’s entrance personally before dawn.

It is said he even brought a coffin.

It is also said he plans to make amends.

The current progress of the event is at this stage, but it’s already shocking enough.

That’s Sea King Lockeby, how many years has it been since he last appeared publicly, even at the height of previous confrontations, he never showed up.

And now he’s personally coming to apologize?

Many people have already flocked to the docks.

Missing such an event would be a great shame.

Another group of people continued reading the newspaper, curious about what happened in the South District.

This too was explosive news.

Old Xi Wen of Little Ibia in the South District has died.

Old Xi Wen truly was a very low-key person, having withdrawn in Little Ibia for so many years, so few people have seen him, most imagining him as an old man, perhaps with a bloated appearance.

But his reputation remained.

He was even a kind of underground legend.

Many people’s mysterious curiosity towards Little Ibia came from him.

So his death also attracted considerable attention.

Some keenly felt a subtle connection between these events, vaguely inferring something.

However, that no longer mattered.

What has happened cannot be changed.

Besides, newspapers are published for people to read.

Ethan is currently reading the newspaper, the first fresh copy of the Kingdom Deep Observation Report, which is delivered to his breakfast table every morning.

Today’s breakfast was abundant, all prepared in Wenster style.

Ethan ate contentedly, truly hungry, as he hadn’t eaten much last night after returning, he just bathed and rested.

"Anya, how about we return to Wenster in a couple of days?"

Ethan asked Anya while eating seafood porridge, the two seeming to have the same thought.

"I’ll make the arrangements."

Anya’s face showed no signs of fatigue, even though her night had been anything but easy.

"No, I’ll have Palon arrange it, you take a rest."

Everyone take a rest.

This summer in the Royal Capital has been too arduous.

But someone was experiencing even more hardship.

That would be Sea King Lockeby’s subordinates.

They suddenly received news this morning, that their leader, the Sea King, had gone to the entrance of the Sea God Sect to apologize.

How could this be?!

They hadn’t done anything wrong.

The Sea God Sect had acted excessively first, at most they had just retaliated.

This absolutely cannot stand.

What’s wrong with the Sea King leader?

Although normally everyone respected Sea King to the extreme, they were entirely unable to comprehend this now, so they gathered, wanting to persuade Sea King to withdraw his thoughts.

Gradually, more and more people gathered, all arriving at the entrance of the Sea God Sect.

Along with them, the Kingdom Defense Bureau personnel felt intense pressure.

Heisenberg is the chief in charge of this matter, but he hadn’t even finished dealing with the South District mess and now had to come to the Port District.

The current time is 8:40 AM.

Heisenberg hadn’t slept all night, dragging his slightly weary body to the scene.

At the entrance of the Sea God Sect, Sea King Lockeby bowed towards the door, displaying a mournful demeanor.

Beside him lay an ornate coffin, its contents unknown.

Surrounding Sea King’s men were all anxious, clearly not wanting to witness this scene, many had resolved to take action before arriving, but faced with reality, none dared do anything, just watching from afar.

Such was the authority Sea King Lockeby had established over the years.

Heisenberg had no choice but to push through the crowd to reach Lockeby’s side.

"What are you doing here? Go back."

He whispered.

Lockeby just shook his head.

"Last night’s matter... will be resolved, you don’t have to do this."

Heisenberg was somewhat exhausted, as the higher-ups had yet to give any instructions, leaving him to handle emergencies himself.

"Go back, Heisenberg, I must do this today."

Lockeby’s tone was calm.

"Do you know what you are trying to do, do you realize that you..."

"I know."

Lockeby interrupted him.

Just then, people came out from Sea God Sect.

At the forefront was Edwin the Pope of Sea God Sect, followed by High Priest Heigen and Morris.

Heisenberg and Edwin exchanged glances.

Edwin didn’t express anything.

But his appearance outside already signaled one thing, that this matter must be resolved.

Then, before anyone could react, Lockeby suddenly did something.

Leaving everyone in astonishment.
