Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System

This has caused these individuals to develop arrogant and domineering personalities.

After being so humiliated by Lin Yi, they were almost bursting with rage.

The guy leading them let out a cold laugh, nodded fiercely, and after cursing Lin Yi for being ungrateful, he brandished the knife in his hand and charged at Lin Yi.

Not only that, he also called his companions to join him.

This group of guys all had their own schemes in mind.

Although they were used to being arrogant and domineering, if they really encountered trouble, or some formidable individuals, they wouldn't just charge in to get themselves killed.

Just like the guy in front of them now, it was obvious he was not afraid of them at all.

For this reason, they all knew that when he charged in, he would definitely face resistance.

And for one person, a one-on-one fight, even if they gain upper hand with their weapon, they might still get hurt.

Therefore, they decided to rush in all at once; as they say, there's strength in numbers, it's best to hold the guy down and beat him up.

This way, they could also reduce their own injuries.

When the people around saw this crowd charging towards Lin Yi, they all showed a hint of pity.

Of course, despite feeling pity, they stayed far away, even if those Household Servants tried to catch them, they would still have time to escape.

After all, sympathizing with others comes from kindness, but if you put yourself in danger to do so, then you'd be a fool.

This group of people, though living in ancient society and quite simple and kind, were not fools.

There's no way they would risk their own safety to help others when they are in danger.

Moreover, everyone knew well what kind of background these people had. In the Capital City, there was no one who could afford to offend them.

So, even when they saw them charge at Lin Yi, no one dared to jump out to stop them, nor did anyone dare to help.

It wasn't that the people here lacked compassion; they were just truly afraid.

In an instant, the group charged towards Lin Yi.

Although the book describes it slowly, it was merely a blink of an eye before they were in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Yi swiftly flipped his palm, and suddenly a silver pistol appeared in his hand.

That's right, this guy never intended to follow the rules or really have a knife or gunfight with the other party.

He wanted to cut to the chase, not sticking to the code of martial honor.

After all, dealing with this bunch of scum didn't require any martial honor at all.

As the leading man charged within about three steps away, with his knife poised to strike Lin Yi, Lin Yi slightly raised his arm and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the sound echoed through the sky over the Capital City.

Not only that, at the instant the sound erupted, the leading guy felt a flash of fire in front of his eyes, then the sound of an explosion next to his ears.

Besides the sight and sound, he felt a mighty force crashing into his chest.

With that impact, his entire body was flung backward.

But that was not the worst part; the worst part was that he felt a burning sensation on his chest.

While spinning in mid-air, red blood began to float from his chest.

This left him wide-eyed, his gaze vacant, and he maintained the pose of holding the knife, only his body ended up crashing heavily onto the ground behind him.

With that loud bang, the place fell silent instantly.

Aside from Lin Yi himself and Leng Yu standing by, everyone was stunned.

The bang was so deafening that they thought it was a divine thunderbolt from the heavens.

In the eyes of all the Household Servants, along with the sound, their leader was sent flying.

And when they turned their attention to their leader, they saw him lying on the ground, blood spewing from his mouth, eyes bulging wide.

Not only that, his chest was still oozing bright red blood.

They were accustomed to seeing people being slashed, and even battles on the battlefield.

But they had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.

Indeed, it was terrifying.

For every person present, the scene unfolding before them was incredibly frightening.

After all, with the sound of a thunderbolt, their fellow companion fell dead, and at the same time, his body bore clear marks of being pierced.

In their understanding, this was the wrath of the Celestial God, sending down a divine thunderbolt to strike their companion dead.

This caused everyone present to tremble uncontrollably, and a nearby Household Servant hurriedly knelt down and started bowing and praying to the sky.

It's not that these people were superstitious, it was just the way society was at the time.

In this feudal society, there was no disbelief in gods or ghosts; in their impression and knowledge, there was the presence of the Celestial God.

The phrase "The heavens are watching what man does" started to spread from this point forward.

Seeing the scene unfold before him, everything was within Lin Yi's expectations.

However, clearly, he did not intend to end it by just killing the leader.

Originally, he came here without the intention to cause trouble, just to stroll around.

But now, as the opposition had handed him the leverage, it made him change his strategy in an instant, aiming to make this incident widely known.

And with this opportunity involving Young Master Chen, he wanted the world to understand that he was sent by the heavens to punish these evil people.

Thinking this, he coldly glanced over each Household Servant kneeling before him, and in a frost-like voice, he spoke:

"You wretches with countless evil deeds, what face do you have to plead for heaven's forgiveness? Have you ever thought, when you were bullying others, whether the heavens were watching you?"
