After a moment of silence, Patriarch Lin spoke in a booming voice, "Thirty seconds! The ones responsible for putting our Lin Family in this situation have thirty seconds to get up here and admit to their crimes! If you do so, we will spare you from the death penalty!"

'The death penalty?!' Lin Minghai cried inwardly. He could've never expected things to get out of control so quickly, nor could he have anticipated such a severe punishment.

'That bastard came from the upper heavens? No wonder why he dares to act so brazenly!' Steward Jin gritted his teeth in fear.

However, he wasn't completely hopeless, as he had made some preparations just in case this kind of situation would happen.

"Ten seconds left!" Patriarch Lin's voice rippled in the room, causing the walls to tremble slightly.

"Five… Four… Three—"

"I did it! It was me! I was the one who hired the Silent Rippers!" A clear voice suddenly resounded, and everyone in the room turned to look at the person who just spoke.

This person began making his way towards the front of the room.

Once he was before Patriarch Lin, the middle-aged man kneeled and kissed the floor with his forehead.

"This lowly servant is responsible for the mess. Please punish me as you see fit, Patriarch."

Patriarch Lin narrowed his eyes at the middle-aged man before him with a pondering face.

A moment of silence later, he spoke, "I don't recognize you. Identify yourself."

It wasn't weird for Patriarch Lin to not recognize the face of every servant in the Lin Family due to the sheer number of them.
