“Dang, they came so fast?” Dax exclaimed, his face contorted with fear.
The rest of the Harrison family looked equally pale, but their as they glared at Lucian.
eyes
blazed with anger
It was this guy who had caused them to suffer the Grim Reapers’ revenge.
Over two hundred people had arrived, each armed with a machete. Were they here to wipe out the Harrison family?
“Grandpa, what do we do?” Nadine’s legs trembled with fear as she spoke.
Dax and Eleanor exchanged a glance. They had no time for a divorce now. They had to send Freya to explain to the Grim Reapers that she and Lucian had nothing to do with their vendetta against the Harrison family. Maybe, just maybe, they could escape unscathed.
“Freya, what you said earlier was true, right?” Dax asked. “You and Lucian will take responsibility for this and not let the Grim Reapers retaliate against us, the Harrison family?”
“Yes, I meant what I said,” Freya nodded firmly, turning to Lucian. “Take me outside.”
Lucian hesitated for a moment before pushing Freya out of the room. Annie and Frank exchanged a look and, after a moment of indecision, followed them. Whatever difficulties lay ahead, they would face them together.
They had weathered so many storms over the years; they couldn’t become deserters
now.
Dax and Eleanor led the rest of the Harrison family out of the room, only to find themselves facing a terrifying sight. The narrow Harrison family’s old residence was filled with menacing men holding various weapons, causing their bodies to tremble uncontrollably in fear.
“Mr. Thanatos, Miss Pesta, we have nothing to do with Lucian. If you want to retaliate, do it to him and spare us, the Harrison family,” Dax stammered as he tried to explain.
Thanatos spoke up, “We came here to find Lucian. We have nothing to do with you,

the Harrison family.”
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It appeared that the Grim Reapers were only here to seek revenge on Lucian and not harm the Harrison family.
Well, that was certainly a relief.
The group of Harrison family members quickly became ecstatic, especially Dax, whose body was shaking with excitement. If Lucian was killed by the Grim Reapers today, no one would ruin their good fortune in the future, and Freya would undoubtedly become their money-making machine.
It seems like the heavens are helping them.
Freya, Frank, and Annie all looked pale. They have experienced many difficult times before, but it was only due to not having enough money for medical treatment. In this situation, they could be killed at any moment.
“Lucian, you ba stard! Can’t you just behave yourself outside?” Annie grabbed Lucian’s collar and shook him violently. “You worthless piece of cr ap! Look at my daughter’s condition. If you can’t take care of her properly and keep causing trouble outside, what the hell are you doing?”
Annie scolded Lucian as if he was her own son, but Lucian didn’t say a word. He knew Annie’s character; she had a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Despite scolding Lucian, she still chose to face the storm together with Lucian and Freya.
This gesture deeply moved Lucian.
“You worthless piece of cr ap, apologize to Mr. Thanatos and Miss Pesta, or do you want to get beaten up?” Frank kicked Lucian hard and yelled at him.
Lucian shook his head and said seriously, “They have no right to make me apologize.”
Frank and Annie were dumbfounded. They had deliberately criticized Lucian in front of the Grim Reapers to give them an excuse, but now Lucian’s attitude was so bad even after seeing the situation. They were really about to be driven insane.
Freya turned back and glared at Lucian, saying, “Lucian, go apologize.”
As an Infernal War G od, Lucian would never apologize to two people from the

underground world. He shook his head again and said firmly, “Fay, I’ll take responsibility for this, but I won’t apologize to them.”
“You’re a dead man walking today,” Dax said, his face twisted with malice. “Offending the Grim Reapers means you have no way out. You’re just a worthless ant in their eyes, and yet you still have the audacity to be so arrogant in front of them. Do you not know your place, you little piece of cr ap? Get down on your knees and apologize!”
Although Dax kept demanding that Lucian apologize, he was secretly excited and hoping that Lucian would continue to maintain this attitude, which would eventually provoke the Grim Reapers and lead to Lucian being brutally killed.
“You’re just a Gray family reject, and yet you dare to offend the Grim Reapers. You really don’t know your place.”
“Annie, Frank, don’t pay attention to this lun atic. Now that you’ve returned to the Harrison family, let’s all live together peacefully and not be bothered by this madman. He’ll only end up getting you killed.”
“That’s right. The Grim Reapers are too powerful. They’ll surely kill you.”
Upon hearing the Harrison family’s words, Annie did not give up on Lucian. Instead, she turned around and knelt in front of the Grim Reapers. With a sincere expression, she said, “Mr. Thanatos and Ms. Pesta, Lucian is my son-in-law. He was ignorant and offended you. I apologize on his behalf and beg for your mercy. I will do anything you ask of me.”
“Mom, get up, please,” Lucian rushed forward, pulling Annie, and his eyes red.
He did not expect Annie to kneel in front of the Grim Reapers for him.
“Don’t pull me,” Annie glared at Lucian and said, “Apologies to them immediately, or else get out of here.”
“Hmph, what an idiot. Kneeling in front of the Grim Reapers for a dying man,” one of the Harrison family members scoffed.
“He could have left with his life intact, but instead, he’s mired in this mess because of one foolish person.”
“Grandpa is truly wise. As soon as he saw Lucian offending the Grim Reapers, he

severed ties immediately. It seems the Grim Reapers haven’t retaliated against us.”
The Harrison family members whispered among themselves.
“No, no, no. You don’t have to kneel for us.”
Pesta’s heart sank as she saw the dark look in Lucian’s eyes after Annie knelt before the Grim Reapers. They had come to ask Lucian’s brother to cure their daughter, and now the situation was turning worse. Without hesitation, she rushed to Annie’s side and knelt in front of her with a loud thud.
“Please, Auntie, don’t kneel down. Get up quickly,” Pesta pleaded as she helped Annie to her feet.
Annie was taken aback by Pesta’s sudden action and didn’t quite understand what was happening. Even the Harrison family was stunned by this turn of events. It was nothing like what they had expected. In a typical scenario, Lucian would have been chopped into pieces by now, but instead, Pesta was kneeling before Annie and addressing her as “Auntie.”
What in the world was going on?
Freya was also dumbfounded, her forehead creased as she had no idea what was going on.
“You’re not here to seek revenge on my son-in-law?” Annie timidly asked, standing
up.
“Of course not,” Pesta smiled wryly and explained, “Auntie, we’re here to ask Mr. Lucian’s brother to help cure my daughter’s illness. We hope your son-in-law can lend a hand. I brought a little gift, and I hope the Harrison family won’t refuse it.”
“Bring me all the gifts,” Thanatos bellowed at his two hundred henchmen.
