After Pampering Her 5 Beast Husbands, the Villainess Struck It Rich

In Brutus’s room, which Sang Mo had rigged, activating the defenses would simultaneously cause poison gas to flood back inside.

Rigging one’s own home with poison gas—Sang Mo was probably the only person in the world who would do something like that.

Due to his unique constitution, the poison gas couldn’t harm him in any way. This was a precaution to stop anyone from attacking him during his moments of weakness.

’I never thought it would end up being used here.’

"AHHH—"

The dawn was shattered by a piercing scream.

Beastmen and females, still drowsy with sleep, poked their heads out of their homes at the sound.

’Disturbing someone’s sleep so early in the morning is a heinous crime!’

Many who were woken up were annoyed, but when they saw the video, their faces all twisted into the same horrified expression as the person who had just screamed.

’Brutus is dead?!’

’Brutus was murdered?!!’

Then, everyone heard the voice from the video and realized the killer was Sang Mo—the man who had single-handedly founded the Black Domain and turned it into a place countless people aspired to reach.

And yet, he had died just when the Black Domain was at its peak.

Although some had claimed earlier that Sang Mo wasn’t dead and would return, only some people had believed them; the rest had remained skeptical.

’After all, how could a dead man come back to life?’

But now, to everyone’s utter astonishment, Sang Mo really wasn’t dead!

He had returned to the Black Domain and killed Brutus!

The news hit like a bombshell, snapping everyone out of their terror.

And that terror quickly turned into cheers!

"Boss Sang is back!!"

"Did I hear that right? Is Boss Sang really back?"

Knowing Sang Mo had returned, some were thrilled, while others were worried.

After all, Sang Mo was notoriously unpredictable. When he was in a good mood, anything was negotiable. When he was in a bad mood, the bottom of the sea became their final destination.

But even so, Sang Mo was still better than Brutus and his cronies. At least as long as you didn’t provoke him, life could be quite comfortable.

Just then, someone voiced the hope of the countless oppressed: "Does this mean we can go back to the way things were before?"

At that moment, no one cared that Brutus was dead. All they could think about was the possibility of returning to their old lives now that Sang Mo was back.

In an instant, the news of Sang Mo’s return spread like wildfire, reaching everyone’s ears.

Naturally, it also reached Hades and the Moore family.

Hades was still asleep with a female in his arms when a frantic knock suddenly sounded on his door. Dazed, he couldn’t quite make out what his subordinate was saying, only vaguely catching something about someone dying and someone returning.

He was about to go back to sleep when his eyes snapped open. He shot up, threw off the covers, and yanked the door open. He grabbed his subordinate’s arms, shaking him violently as he demanded, "Who did you say died? Who’s back?!"

The subordinate, startled by Hades’s reaction, stammered, "B-Brutus is dead."

Hades froze for a second, then burst into laughter. "Brutus is dead? HAHAHAHA... This is fantastic news! It’s a day for celebration! Everyone gets the day off!"

He released his subordinate and, in a great mood, smoothed out the man’s wrinkled clothes. "You’ve done well bringing me this news. Go collect your bonus. I’m giving you a month off, with full pay!"

Then, Hades vaguely recalled the man mentioning someone else had returned, but his mind was so preoccupied with Brutus’s death that he immediately cast the thought aside.

However, after Hades had straightened his clothes and promised him a reward, the subordinate began to tremble even more violently.

Hades was about to go back to bed when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the subordinate was still standing there. But Brutus’s death had put him in such a good mood that he said patiently, "What are you still standing here for? Go on, collect your reward."

The subordinate knew he was in for a world of hurt once he said the rest, but if Hades found out he’d withheld information, his death would be even more miserable.

He had to say it sooner or later. The subordinate squeezed his eyes shut and said in a trembling voice, "S-Sang Mo is back. He’s the one who killed Brutus. He broadcast the video everywhere in the Black Domain. The entire Black Domain knows now."

Hades’s smile froze on his face. For a moment, he wondered if he was still dreaming, if his ears were playing tricks on him. His expression twisted as he asked, "Who did you say is back?"

The subordinate stammered, "S-Sang Mo..."

’Sang Mo not only came back, he killed Brutus... and I’m only finding out now?!’
