"It was I who killed the Frost couple. If you insist on giving this 'credit' to soone else, I will be displeased."
Tian En recounted calmly, throughout the entire ti, her exquisite face showed not the slightest ripple, as if she were telling a story unrelated to herself.
But everyone present was stunned, their hearts struck as if by lightning.
Even Yun You appeared sowhat dazed.
She had guessed Tian En's identity, but she truly hadn't expected that the one who wiped out the entire Frost Clan in one night was not Mokaka's father, but Tian En herself.
Yet this seed rather inexplicable.
On the day of the massacre, Tian En would have been only around ten years old. How did she manage to kill so many people unnoticed? And why did she act against her biological parents?
Moreover, even if we set aside these questions, if the Frost Family was indeed wiped out by her, then why did she seek revenge against Mokaka's Hugo Clan?
Yun You couldn't understand, and neither could the others.
"No need for wild guesses."
Of course, Tian En could see the doubt in their hearts.
She shook her head, softly saying, "I was originally planning to explain everything once the dust settled."
"But speaking about it now doesn't really make a difference."
Saying this, Tian En slightly turned her body, seeing the Karma Remnant Buddha moving in another direction, with no intention of coming over, she nodded assuredly and turned back, saying, "If you don't mind, can I tell a 'story'?"
Tian En was always so polite.
Her words clearly contained an uncompromising firmness, yet between the lines, there were always words of request.
Yun You and Yuanbao instinctively exchanged a glance and nodded lightly.
They indeed wanted to know Tian En's reasons.
As for Mokaka...
The child's brain had long since short-circuited, unable to even respond, and even the emojis on her headphone screen had frozen, so everyone just took it as her consent.
Thus, in the midst of silence, Tian En closed her eyes and began her narration.
...
The history of the Frost Clan is quite ancient, dating back several centuries, as early as when Nest City was just being established, the mbers of the Frost Clan were already scattered throughout Nest City, holding a place in upper society.
But the rise of the Frost Clan is not a glorious one.
The initial accumulation of wealth by most of the major families in Nest City was filled with dirt and blood, and the Frost Clan was no exception.
However, the dirt within their bones was indeed a bit excessive... because they were engaged in human trafficking.
At the inception of Nest City, all industries required cheap labor.
Skyscrapers needed laborers to build them, toxic substances in chemical factories needed slaves to handle them, nobles needed to adopt disabled children to show off their benevolence.
The Frost Clan keenly sensed these "business opportunities."
Thus, they went to those underdeveloped regions and countries, lavishly promoting the beauty and high benefits of Nest City, bringing those filled with beautiful fantasies about the future onto ships of no return.
Cheating, stealing, robbing, abducting...
They would use any ans to take people away.
Did skyscrapers need construction workers? What workers could be more cost-effective than slaves who didn't even require insurance, only needing to be fed three als a day?
Were the protective asures at chemical fuel yards unsafe, often causing diseases and thus attracting inspections from so parliantary oversight teams?
No matter, invite those cheap foreigners to do the job, after all, they would most likely work themselves to death from the labor before being poisoned by chemical substances.
Did new and old nobles need to adopt orphans to put on a show? That was even easier to solve.
Since the Frost Clan started in the human trafficking business, countless welfare institutions had sprung up in Nest City, filled with cute and obedient disabled children, available for adoption by nobles for a sum of money.
As for why these children were disabled and why they had scars all over their bodies and were reluctant to speak?
Don't ask, asking ans it was an accident...
Through years of human trafficking, the Frost Clan amassed enormous capital, enough to be comparable to certain monopolistic conglorates.
After all, they were considered a kind of monopoly themselves, a monopoly on human trafficking...
But perhaps there really is karma in the world.
At an unknown ti, a strange curse suddenly befell every mber of the Frost Clan.
They beca frail and sickly, the elderly died early, and newborn children in the family often died young, usually not even reaching the age of one before dying suddenly from various causes.
For a ti, the vast Frost Clan was reduced to seventy percent of its population due to this reason.
The mbers of the Frost Clan panicked and spent a fortune to seek out doctors and apprentice death gods, hoping to investigate whether the family was afflicted by so kind of genetic disease.
In the end, both the doctors and apprentice death gods could only conclude "no illness" was present.
Helplessly, the Frost Clan could only believe the explanations of mysticism and karma, ceasing human trafficking and turning to laundering themselves by investing in legitimate industries.
This thod had so effect, at least so newborns in the Frost Clan could live happily past the age of one.
Though the probability of them dying suddenly was still high, being able to live on, to continue the family bloodline, was already considered a rcy from the heavens...
