NOVPUBChapter 1274: 577 Sad_1 Chapter 1274: 577 Sad_1 As the young lady’s cold voice fell like shattered jade, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Simultaneously, a shadow seemed to shroud over everyone’s heart.
The phrase “evil deeds will incur divine punishment” echoed in everyone’s ears, pounding rhythmically like a drum.
Most people live by the philosophy of seizing the day, as being selfish is human nature.
When personal benefits are threatened, vile thoughts begin to breed.
Once you taste the sweetness of victory, it’s easy to deceive others and yourself further in the name, ‘If one doesn’t look out for themselves, they’re bound to face destruction’.
People live their lives grasping for the tangible benefits right in front of them.
...
Karma and afterlife only become concerns once you’re on death’s door, or so they believe.
The young lady’s words now shed light on the vile thoughts hidden deep within everyone’s hearts.
Their inner filth laid bare under the spotlight, they could no longer hold their heads high, consumed by an indescribable shame.
For those harboring these vile thoughts, it was as though she slapped them across the face, leaving their cheeks burning.
“You delude others with your twisted words.
Pindo Rinto has committed countless atrocities, harming many people.
As his daughter, you ought to pay for his crimes—it’s only just.
Don’t believe you can deceive the crowd here.
If anyone here deserves punishment, it’s you.” Mr.
Yang hurled these accusations at Aubree Groove, seething.
Luigi Spinter narrowed his eyes, observing the situation from the sidelines.
Someone had conveniently taken action, aligning with his intentions.
When he was in the shipping industry, he could enjoy a piece of the pie.
But ever since Agave Rinto took over the Rintos, their monopoly meant he had to halt his shipping business, causing him enormous losses while the Rintos were making a killing.
How unjust.
During today’s trade conference, his plan was to unite with a few other victims and challenge Agave Rinto.
Having a pawn step forward was better than he could hope for.
Making a signal to the crowd, more people began to point fingers as if they were the righteous ones.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, a cold voice suddenly echoed in the hall.
“Quite lively, it seems like I arrived just in time.”
A dead silence engulfed the room.
An extended, suffocating silence.
Frightened, Luigi Spinter turned his head.
A man in a black coat was slowly approaching against the light.
The sound of his shoes brushing against the polished floor echoed loudly in Luigi Spinter’s ears,” his heartbeat resonating with each step.
Luigi Spinter turned pale with fear: “Agave Rinto?
Weren’t you taken by the police?”
Madam Benz’s eyes widened in shock.
She stepped back instinctively, her fingers trembling against the wall.
Madam Benz pressed her hand on her arm soothingly,” It’s okay, sister.”
Madam Benz looked ashen and lost.
Her desperate expression echoed on the others’ faces—they too were shocked.
“Earlier, there was a misunderstanding.
Now that it’s been cleared up, I have returned.
Does this disappoint you, Mr.
Luigi?”
Agave Rinto’s slight smile and rhetorical question struck fear in Luigi Spinter’s heart.
He forced himself to remain calm, responding with a forced smile.
“I see.
A misunderstanding?
It’s good that it’s been clarified.”
Luigi Spinter wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Agave Rinto looked up and locked eyes with Aubree Groove standing on the curved corner staircase.
Despite his frightening reputation, there was no denying his wealth and looks, making him an irresistible target for all the women present.
“I believe I just heard someone say the Rinto Family is finished?”
All eyes instantly landed on Lexi Benz hiding in the corner.
Lexi Benz turned very pale and instinctively hid behind Madame Benz.
Madam Benz thought Agave Rinto wouldn’t stoop so low as to argue with a girl, but she underestimated how merciless he could be.
Agave Rinto waved his hand, and two men in black started moving towards Madam Benz.
Madam Benz shielded Lexi Benz, gritting her teeth as she spoke,” Agave Rinto, my daughter only said a few words, and you’re planning to punish her?
Is there no law in this world?”
The man raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, “In Pethkids, I am the law.”
His words were light, but they struck fear in everyone present.
In Pethkids, he is the law.
Everyone started to remember the era when Pindo Rinto dominated and monopolized.
It seemed like ruthless personality ran in the Rinto family.
Lexi Benz was finally scared, “Mom, Mom, I don’t want to, please save me.”
The men in black came in front of Madam Benz.
Contrary to what she expected, they were very polite: “I wonder if Miss Benz remembers Miss Maddy Spinter.”
