Chapter 446: You Can Redeem Your Worthless Lives
Chapter 446: You Can Redeem Your Worthless Lives"The Donovan family created a secret facility to breed gu, which could harm many people they considered a threat. The gu stored in that place is enough to infect an entire vast region with a deadly plague," Aldrian continued.
"I have come here to enact justice and serve judgment for the harm they have caused with their gu. They crossed the line by using these things against me."
"What I did is my response to the Donovan family, especially Grand Duke Donovan for the harm they inflicted upon my people. The same applies to all of you." Aldrian swept his gaze over the people below.
"You know that I already have animosity with the second prince’s faction, and this place is one of my target since this town is the source of the disaster. Even after destroying that underground facility, I am still considering whether to make this entire town experience what you all just witnessed."
Gasps filled the town as a wave of panic began to rise in the hearts of the people. Even now, they could not comprehend how Aldrian had lifted such a massive chunk of land into the air—yet now he claimed he could do the same to the entire town?!
"Have mercy, Your Excellency!"
"Please, Your Excellency, spare us! We had no knowledge of what the Donovan family was doing."
"Spare us, Your Excellency! We didn’t take part in the war! Not a single one of us was sent to fight in the civil war!"
"Your Excellency, we had no choice but to obey Grand Duke Donovan!"
Countless pleas filled Aldrian’s ears, but he merely scoffed at them. He knew these people were acting this way only because they feared his reputation and strength.
This town, just as Arson had described, was steeped in shady dealings, and its residents were no different. He had sensed it during his earlier stroll while assessing the situation.
Though he had not explored the entire town, what he had seen was astonishing. There was no peace here—only endless competition and conflict. Life in this place seemed cheap, shaped by the town’s very nature. Even some children had already been corrupted by a twisted mindset, a sight that made him pity them.
During the civil war, these people cheered for their grand duchy’s might and supported Grand Duke Donovan’s decision to join the second prince’s faction. They were driven by self-interest and greed, naturally siding with the victorious party.
Aldrian was certain that even if they had known the Grand Duke Donovan was responsible for using gu to spread the outbreak, they would have still supported him as long as it brought them victory and benefits.
But the moment they witnessed him wielding enough strength to crush their hopes and lives as easily as killing ants, they wavered, begged for mercy, and desperately tried to distance themselves from the Donovan family.
This was precisely why he had put on such a display when destroying the underground re
They didn’t want to risk offending him.
Not long after, the former prisoners began to be cared for by many people in the town. As Aldrian had instructed, they did everything in their power to assist the freed prisoners with whatever they needed after being released from their nightmare.

Thirty seconds ago, in the imperial palace, Prince Wilmar stood before several leaders of noble families, discussing their war strategy. At this moment, he was confident that Aldrian truly had his hands full with the outbreak problem, allowing them to advance with greater ease in other areas. The time bought by the outbreak is precious, and they need to take advantage of it as effectively as possible.
While the discussions continued, a soldier suddenly ran toward the prince, kneeling before him. He was gasping for breath, as though he had sprinted with all his might just to deliver the message.
"Your Majesty, I bring an urgent report!"
