Chapter 1800"Uh-oh, Mr. Blade is in danger!" Jasper said in a deep voice, "I'll go inform him right away..."Unexpectedly, Evelyn suddenly grabbed his arm to stop him.Dim light enveloped her face, casting shadows on half of it.A strange grin appeared on her face, "Mr. Mason thought that by controlling the village, he could blackmail me into curing him. Well, I'll show him whether I'll succumb to his threats."Jasper suddenly had a sense of foreboding....Bang! Bang! The sound of gunshots continued incessantly, accompanied by intense fighting sounds.Slade was abruptly awakened from a sweet dream and quickly asked the guards what was happening."The west area... Those poor people in the west area ambushed our armory, stole guns and ammunition, and they're coming this way! Mr. Swan, you must escape, we can't hold them back in front...""What?" Slade's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that the suppressed poor people from the west area would dare to rebel.In
Chapter 1801He hesitated, probing, "Do you mean Mr. Mason?""Yes. Mr. Mason has deployed a group of mercenaries outside the village. Once he gives the order, those mercenaries will rush in. How can the poor people in the western area be a match for them? We should stop arguing and go to seek his help now."Outside the window, the people from the western area were roaring. Slade glanced at Seth."Heh, Mrs. Mason suffered a lot because of your daughter and your family. Do you think Mr. Mason will help us?" Seth sneered.Seth heard his doubt and calmed down.He stood straight, hands behind his back, with no warmth in his eyes."If he doesn't help us, do you think we'll have a way out when the people from the western area come rushing in? If I die, there's no way that Evelyn can treat him anymore. Besides, are my daughter and I the only ones who have been exploiting them over the years? Weren't your mansions built on the flesh and blood of them too?"…An eerie silence spread thr
Chapter 1802"Since I dare do so, I'm not afraid of him knowing," Cedrick sneered.Slade was someone who worshiped power.Since the people had rebelled, his position as the village head was at stake. Now he could only grasp at the last straw.Evelyn was the same.She went from being the pampered daughter of the village head's family to having nothing left.Once they lost their confidence and support, perhaps they would learn to behave.Someone suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night."Mr. and Mrs. Mason? Are you still sleeping? It's Slade. There is an urgent matter I need your help with." Catelyn and Cedrick exchanged smiles, knowing what the man came for.Catelyn walked over to open the door.A group of wealthy people stood outside, all looking disheveled and covered in sweat."Mr. Swan, there's chaos downstairs. What's happening?" Catelyn asked while knowing the answer.Slade stammered as he recounted the rebellion of the people from the western area. He
Chapter 1803After all, the virus in Cedrick’s body, which would be inherited from generation to generation, could only be cured by the villagers in the east area.The villagers in the west area were reckless men who only knew how to farm.They didn’t know medicine or poisons at all.It was horribly dark.Catelyn and Cedrick saw the man who led the rebellion of the west area. The man was a hot-blooded young man at his early twenties.The weapons of the west area were from Cedrick.Thus, the man was respectful to Cedrick.Although the man thanked Cedrick very much, their hatred for the east area wouldn’t be reduced.They made their requests.The wealth in the east area should be divided equally to the people in the west area.Slade should be ousted. The villagers of the west area would elect a new chief who was virtuous and capable. Besides, the villagers of the east area who had committed crimes should be punished.After the criminals received punishment and the wealth was
Chapter 1804 The west area was their home. However, the whole place was now on fire. The man, who had led the riot in the east area, looked at the fire and his face was lightened by the fire. He had to make the decision to send some of his people back to the west area to put out the fire. Before he left, he said to Catelyn and Cedrick, "Our houses are on fire. This fire came from nowhere. I would have to ask you to stay put here." He was suspecting the fire was started by Cedrick’s men. Then Catelyn suggested, "We'll go with you to put out the fire." The others from the west area roared, "Maybe you are the ones who started the fire! ou offered to negotiate with us on behalf of Slade. You made us let down our guard, but behind the scenes, you had our houses burned down! Don't pretend to be good people!" "What did we burn down your houses for? Slade was screwed. We were genuinely trying to help you and the east..." "Shut up! Keep them under watch. Don't let them go
Chapter 1805Facing the blackened beams, the villagers of the west area burst into tears.The old houses in which they had lived for generations were all burnt down!They were all standing in the heavy rain. The rain was washing the black dust on their bodies. However, it seemed the rain couldn’t wash away the stains on their faces.The kids were crying sadly and loudly.“Captain, we have no homes anymore! It must be the rich in the east area who did it! We can’t let them off!”The captain of the west area, Arron, clenched the gun in his hand tightly. His eyes turned extremely scarlet in anger.“Kill them! Kill all the bastards of the east area! Snatch their houses! Why should we be bullied by them? We have been bullied by them for more than one hundred years! Is it still not enough? We have agreed to forgive them and coexist peacefully! But those devils even ruined our last houses! Let’s go to kill them...”“Hold on!”It was getting light gradually. Catelyn and Cedrick arrive
Chapter 1806Jasper got a dark big umbrella, tilted it towards Evelyn, and kept the rain out for her.He looked at her with loyalty and affection.“Miss Swan, I told you that they wouldn’t blame Catelyn even if you burned all the houses in the west area.”Evelyn fiddled with her bracelet casually and said with a fiendish expression, “Catelyn must have bribed them. These bumpkins are poor and impolitic. If I were them, I would kill Catelyn and hold Cedrick hostage to threaten Cedrick’s men.”“We have no other choice but to go back and make an apology to your father. You’re the only one who can cure Cedrick. They will do nothing to you.”‘Make an apology?‘I have done nothing wrong!‘The poor in the west area deserve to die! Catelyn deserves to die!’Evelyn sneered and took out a white little porcelain bottle from her pocket.“Pour it into the waterworks.”There was a waterworks in the east area. The waterworks drew the mountain spring water, processed it simply, and delivered
Chapter 1807The more Evelyn looked at the villagers of the west area, the more annoyed she became.Suddenly, she sneered, “Kill them!”Jasper’s heart did a flip-flop. He stared at Evelyn in fright.It seemed that Jasper didn’t expect Evelyn to say so.Evelyn arched her eyebrows.“What? You don’t have the heart to kill them? Do you want them to be in charge of the village after they wake up? They’re just a group of bumpkins. Their lives are negligible.”Jasper closed his eyes.After all, he grew up in the village. He was reluctant to see the village become hell.When he opened his eyes, he had made up his mind.“I didn’t mean that. We still need them to farm the land in the west area. I can confiscate their weapons and hand the weapons to the chief. Without the weapons, they’re vulnerable.”“Let it go. The main thing is to find Catelyn. I don’t bother to waste time on them.”Evelyn violently kicked the rebellion’s leaders’ chests. Then she went upstairs quietly.When she p
