“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
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital
Philip’s expression changed, frowning slightly. Seeing Philip in his delivery uniform, looking shabby, Lily pointed at the door and said, “Get out now, we don’t allow delivery men here.” “I’m not here for delivery,” explained Philip. Lily tidied her bangs before crossing her arms and said icily, “This is not the first time I hear this. Everyone that comes in here says they’re not delivery men. Please!” “I’m not. I’m here to see George Thomas.” Feeling exasperated, Philip headed inside after saying that. “F*ck! Are you mad? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lily was furious. It was her first time seeing such a shameless delivery man who would just force his way in after being denied entry. Just then, a department manager seemed to have heard the commotion and came out with an ugly expression. “What’s going on?” “Manager Stuart, this delivery man is trying to force his way into our office!” Lily pointed at Philip and then continued with much disdain, “I’ll get security to
“It’s just money. Who said I didn’t manage to borrow any?” Philip glared viciously at Juan. Juan was dumbstruck as his expression froze. When the surprise was still evident in his eyes, Philip tossed the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Wynn. The bag fell with a loud thud and rolls of cash appeared before their eyes. The corner of Juan’s eye twitched slightly as his lips trembled. His hands had subconsciously balled into fists. Wynn was surprised. She stared at the money Philip had tossed in front of them, confused, but then her expression immediately turned cold as anger surfaced in her eyes. Where did Philip get all this money? If he had this, why didn’t he take it out earlier? I even had to keep another man company by chatting happily with him! Doesn’t he know how tiring it is? “Here’s a hundred thousand. I’m paying you back all at once, including the past loans! Don’t ever come here again,” said Philip coldly. Juan did not take the money. To be frank, this
