“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

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

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

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

“Besides, I have bad news for you. Two of the storage rings should've belonged to the mayor.” Jeff said everything in one go, breaking Emma's confidence again and again. This old woman had always been proud and arrogant. He wanted to use this opportunity to drive her into despair. Emma’s initial steadfast expression was quickly replaced by anger and worry. Especially when Jeff mentioned the mayor, Emma scowled with a trace of despair. “What? The mayor is involved in this?” Emma panicked, at a loss for what to do. “What should I do now? I can’t force Vance into a corner!” Emma roared in a panic while Jeff left after finishing his cup of tea. He did not waste his time anymore. Anyway, he had suggested a solution. It was none of his business whether Emma accepted it or not. In the meantime, Vance did not return home. He found a diner and was eating and drinking happily with his men. “We did a big job today, boys! Now that we have disrupted the queue order, let’s see if tho
