It appeared in this place by accident. Even the beast had no idea how it left its mother’s side and ended up in this ghastly place.… Meanwhile, Imperial City was in chaos. Although Imperial City was safest, too many people had flooded the city. The inns were full, and many people had to sleep on the streets. Moreover, the crime rate was increasing as if many people were taking advantage of the chaos to cause more destruction. Fernand Larson, the eldest young master of the Larson family, was caught in this mayhem. He knew that he would be held accountable at this rate. After he arrived at this city, he was held in high regard due to his outstanding ability and quickly became captain of the city’s defense army. After years of hard work, his position was unshakeable. If this incident had not happened, he would probably have become the commander of the city’s defense army. The current commander had been assigned to Guzo Forest to investigate the truth, and Fernand was for
“I can’t believe that the acting commander of the city guards would be so cruel and ruthless to the point of disregarding human lives!” The prime minister kept complaining about what happened and could not bear it anymore. The refugees were very pitiful. The prime minister even provided a vacant house for them. The prime minister had many properties in Imperial City, and this empty house could accommodate many people. The weak and elderly led a tough life in hiding. Whenever they went out to buy something, they would be discovered as refugees. Thus, the prime minister even had to arrange for food and drinks to be sent to them. Hence, no one discovered the refugees hiding here for the time being, but Fernand was in the spotlight, leading his men in search of refugees and driving them out. The emperor looked very unhappy when he heard the report. He never thought Fernand would be so bold as to drive the refugees away without permission. “He believes that the refugees are the
Other cities would never accept them. His house was their only way out. Fernand was already lost in his bloodlust. At first, he let the Shadow Guards operate in private. Later, he personally captured the refugees in broad daylight. The people had to pay a certain fee if they wanted to stay in Imperial City, and no ordinary family could afford that amount. Those who paid up could stay in Imperial City for some time, while those who could not were driven away or killed on the spot. The refugees went into panic mode for a while. They had lost the chance to survive. Thus, many of them fled Imperial City. They did not dare to stay for fear that a bunch of killers would suddenly appear and kill them. … The Cod family developed rapidly and quietly. With Alton's help, they built their business, and Vance got swell-headed. After his family’s business developed rapidly, Vance was convinced that the city would belong to them in no time. Thus, he found it difficult to accept that T
Among the first five customers in line today, two were from the Cod family and two were from the mayor’s residence. The last one was a lucky bystander. Vance paid no heed. As soon as the door opened, he led his people forward to cause a commotion and dispersed all the people waiting in line. The people queueing up happily waiting to buy a storage ring were pushed away and disappeared among the crowd. Other people in line were confused about being chased away. Most importantly, their queue order had been disrupted! The people at the back of the queue happily pushed their way forward, trying to grab the first five spots while the people in front were pushed to the ground and trampled on. Noelle was dumbfounded by this scene. Everyone usually lined up in an orderly manner. Even if they were jealous of the first five customers, they would not do such an impulsive thing. This turn of events was very unusual. “Stop messing around!” Granite and his team quickly maintained the
“You’re right. I’ll ask them to keep queuing. There can never be too many storage rings.” Alton smiled and stroked his right hand. He had made room for a storage ring. If possible, he wanted all ten fingers filled with storage rings. At this time, someone ran to the mayor’s residence in a panic and knelt in front of Alton. Alton was taken aback and wondered what was going on. “What’s going on? Why are you in such a panic? Did something happen when you were making the purchase?” He recognized this subordinate as the one responsible for buying the storage ring for him. Something big must have happened to render him in such a panic. “Mayor, something bad has happened. We were just about to buy the storage ring when Vance of the Cod family turned up to cause trouble and disrupted everything! “Due to that, Treasure House shut the door in anger and refused to open for business. We can’t even queue up for anything now! “We don’t even know if Treasure House will ever open for bus
If Niffler was looking for Scarlet all over the city, she would be doomed. “Cut the crap and do as you’re told!” Alton was angry that Scarlet dared to refuse his order. “How dare you question me?” He slapped Scarlet and sent her flying. Scarlet stared at Alton in shocked disbelief. She never dreamed that she would be beaten. Scarlet relied on her beauty and the charm technique that she was so proud of to take Alton down. However, Alton hit her! Scarlet walked out, full of grievance and resentment. Scarlet was worried about Niffler’s pursuit, but she was more indignant about being played out by Alton. Scarlet vowed to take revenge. “Damn it, all men are no good!” Scarlet scowled and headed to Cod Residence in anger. It was not that far, so it did not take Scarlet too long to reach. Most of them knew that Scarlet was the mayor’s blue-eyed girl. Scarlet entered the house without a hitch and quickly found Jeff. Jeff was playing with his storage ring. All the pills and w
Jeff heard that two members of the family managed to get the first five spots, so they would definitely get two storage rings. However, the good news was quickly ruined. Why would Vance do such a thing? “That’s impossible. The Cod family and the mayor’s residence both received two spots. We should get two storage rings each. Why would Vance do this?” Jeff expressed doubts. Scarlet shrugged and said, “Go find out if you don’t believe me. It has become a big deal now. Everyone is demanding an explanation.” Everyone knew the culprit and felt resentful toward the Cod family. All the customers cursed and complained, not only because of the storage rings but also everything else. Treasure House had decided to stop the sale of storage rings. After learning the news, everyone went into an uproar. This was out of their expectations. They could get an opportunity by queuing up before this, but the chance was lost now! In an instant, the Cod family became the target of public outr
Meanwhile, the Cod family was in an uproar. They were panicking, but no one knew how to deal with it. Vance’s impulsive move caught them by surprise and forced the Cod family into a corner. “What should we do? We need to tell the family head about this!” “But she said no one is allowed to disturb her when she’s sleeping!” “Those people are going to make their way in here soon. If we don’t tell her right now, we’ll end up dead!” Everyone was nervous and worried. Since Emma took over the reins of the Cod family, her status was different. She became the head of the Cod family overnight. Emma had a weird temper and immediately set some rules, such as not to disturb her when she was sleeping. Everyone was panicking. It was a big crime to disturb her sleep, and they would most likely be exiled from the family. Finally, someone could not contain their fear and went to wake Emma up. Emma was very angry when she woke up, but it was quickly replaced by panic when she heard the
