Chapter 239: A deadly ultimatum

The next day, a grisly discovery sent shockwaves through the city.

In a dark, forgotten alley, a passerby stumbled on the severed head of a man who got later identified as Captain Drabble.

Finding the head hadn't been a pleasant affair, because only the head was present, but the eyewitness could tell there had been a battle there, and there were some bits of flesh here and there, which suggested that the rest of the body had been devoured.

Besides, the head itself was frozen in an expression of agony and terror.

News of the find spread like wildfire, with whispers and rumors flying from lip to lip in every corner of the city. Not only in the outer but also in the inner city.

What happened was serious. After all, to die was someone from the Blackfire clan.

The people were abuzz with speculation, unable to understand how a member of one of the four sacred clans could be killed in such a brutal and brazen manner.
