Chapter 693: Meritorious Deeds

Council Keep, Downtown Quarter.

A week after the Duskfall Incident, all the councilors gathered again at the round table to discuss the aftermath.

Moreover, Brigham Flynn had called for an urgent meeting, informing everyone that he had something very important to discuss.

But before that happened, the Council of 7 first had to resolve the matters surrounding the Duskfall Incident.

"Please note, the council has convened to conclude the crucial matters relating to the Duksfalls, the local criminal gang known as the Red Fists, and the thieves' guild known as Umbra Thieves," Hammon McLeod declared solemnly.

All the scribes positioned at the edge of the circular room immediately began jotting down notes, making sure to inscribe everything that happened within these walls.

The old man then turned to the Lord Marshall of Ravenfell, Sabrina Benton, and asked, "Lady Benton, what is the status of the criminals apprehended from the Duskfall Estate?"

An armored Magus donning a white cape stood right behind Sabrina Benton. The latter waved at him, upon which, he immediately conjured a scroll from his storage artifact and respectfully handed it to her with both hands.

Sabrina unfurled the scroll and read its contents with an indifferent expression on her face, "The hundred and seventy-six regular guests invited to the masquerade have been questioned thoroughly and been let go. I have deemed them innocent."

She paused for a moment before adding, "The fourteen VIP guests have undergone intense interrogation methods by my men, during which they have confessed to their involvement with the Duskfall couple.

"Therefore, on charges of rape, prostitiution, cannibalism, murder, and participation in sacrifical rituals to en evil entity, they have been executed. Furthermore, all their assets have been seized, their bloodline terminated, and their nobility titles revoked."

Right at that moment, her gaze narrowed and shifted to Taron Norwood. As what she was about to say next implicated this elven councilor indirectly.

"Last but not least, after being subjected to torture and interrogation techniques of the highest order, the Duskfall couple have confessed to their alliance with the Red Fists and the new criminal organization known as the Cult of Bones."

She paused for a moment, coldly scanning everyone's reactions before continuing, "The couple had been involved in illegally trafficking humans for the past several years. Needless to say, all these women have been used as offerings in the sacrificial rituals that I mentioned earlier.
