Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 944: Changing Heavens
"Xue Bian! Why are you here!" Wyft cried out.
It was none other than Wyft's butler, Xue Bian, who entered from outside the hall. The butler lowered his head and did not dare to look at Whift. He knelt down beside Oz and took out an item from his bosom with trembling hands and presented it to Oz. "Sir, this is Whift's notebook. It records everything he has done for the past six months. Whoever was bribed, assassinated, and owed him a great debt of gratitude."
Oz took the notepad and casually flipped through it. Indeed, it was densely packed with the items that Wyft had handled. The baron shook his notepad and asked coldly, "We have the witness, and now we have the physical evidence. Wyft, what else do you have to say?"
Wyft pointed at the butler and said, "You, you, you …"
Alan walked up to the butler and patted him on the shoulder, smiling at Wyft. You can buy people, but Edward can't buy you off as a butler? Weaver, don't play these tricks if your brain's not working. It's normal for people to be unable to remember things when they get old, but recording your activities will give them a bit of a suicidal aura. "Of course, you can also say that this book is not yours. Then I'll find an expert to identify the handwriting. What do you think?"
'"Don't bother, my lord," said Wyft, who seemed to have aged ten years at once. He said unwillingly, "Yes, I admit that I did all of this. But don't you think that this little brat Oz is suitable to be the lord? If I were to do it, I would have done a better job than him. Besides, you also saw that if it weren't for you, this little brat would have been utterly defeated by now. How could such a person be a good lord?"
Ellen looked at him with a smile and replied, "I wonder if Lord Bankin mentioned the barracks to you?" If not, I don't mind telling you. Just before the banquet began, the so-called commander and a few bullshit captains you planted in the barracks were all beaten up by one of my subordinates, and even the flag was chopped off by my subordinates. "
Wyft's eyes twitched.
"You know why I'm doing this? I'm going to tell you, as well as the lively hats of the lords and officials around here. Laura is one of my capable generals, and she is not the only one I can take action against. Right now, I can kill the so-called strong man in your eyes with just one person. Therefore, what you think you are relying on is nothing. As long as I want, I can tell anyone in this hall to roll up and scram at any time. No matter how strong an ant was, it could not defeat an elephant. Allen's gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the hall. "I don't mind your ambition, nor do I mind if you use your power to make money in private," he said. "You're like a little baron. It's a principle that you can't defeat the Pang Ran Imperial Clan." However, if anyone forgets his own duty and dares to extend his hand too long, I don't mind chopping off your hands either. And even cut off your heads! "
"That's right, Oz is indeed not strong enough, and he is not as good as you in many respects. But he is one thing stronger than you. Do you know what it is, Master Wyft?" Alan's gaze returned to the old man.
The old man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know!"
"First of all, he is younger than you. He is destined to have greater potential and greater plasticity than you. Second, he does not have your stench or your desire for profit. What I need is a subordinate who can govern the territory, not a fellow who only knows how to squeeze the territory to fill his coffin with gold, silver and jewelry!"
Wyft finally sat down. Alan looked at Oz. The latter understood and said in a deep voice, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, I, as Lord, declare Wyft guilty of murdering an official of Fenrir City. Capture him immediately!"
The two Green Dragon Knight behind him immediately stepped forward and pressed down on Wyft, one on the left and one on the right. Wyft's female companion quietly retreated and hid in the crowd. As Wyft was taken down, the dusty banquet was not over. Although Bankin and Udi weren't captured by Austin, they couldn't bear to see Wyft being treated so well. Moreover, once Wyft's tree fell, their power in Fenrir City dissipated.
Before the banquet was over, Bankin gritted his teeth and was the first to kneel down to Oz. He scolded himself for being an accomplice to Wyvert for half a year and begged Oz to forgive him. Judy saw that Bankin was already like this, so he went all out and confessed that he had used Wyft's power to lower the purchase price of grain, exclude his peers, bully Rice Farmers, and other crimes. Oz said coldly, "You're smart, if you don't take the initiative to stand out tonight." Tomorrow morning, Bankin will go to jail, and Yodi, your property will be confiscated. Now it was another matter. Bankin immediately removed the position of magistrate. Starting from tomorrow, Fenrir City would also remove this ridiculous official position. You're still your sheriff. As for Yodi, I won't touch your property or your business. "But from now on, the purchase price must be fair, and you are not allowed to exclude your peers. Otherwise, leave the Radiance Ridge for me!"
Such a small punishment ring was beyond their expectations. Especially Ban Jin. Although he could no longer be a magistrate, he still had the position of magistrate. Although it was not developed, it was more than enough to provide for the aged. With the example of Benjamin and Yodi in front of them, all the influential figures associated with Wyvern stood out to identify themselves. Thus, a dusty banquet turned into a guilty plea convention, which made Austin both angry and funny in his heart.
However, everything was going in the direction Allen had expected, according to Edward's arrangements. If Wyft were to be killed, none of Banquin Yudi would be able to escape. Even the dignitaries who were close to Wyvert were taken down by Edward when he put the net away. Wyvert wanted to change the world, so Edward's arrangement was the same. But Alan modified the plan. He had originally taken the butcher's knife, but he threw it to Oz. Originally, many heads would have been chopped off, but now, these heads were still on top of their heads.
Edward's arrangement was that after the heavens changed, the entire Ridge of Light would be defiled. Alan could insert his own people into it, thus indirectly taking control of this territory. As for Allen's method, it was to support Oz, allowing him to stand up in front of others with both kindness and prestige. The former was once and for all, but it would inevitably hurt Bright Ridge's muscles and bones. The latter was relatively gentle, but if he hadn't seen Oz make up his mind, Allen would still have used Edward's strategy. At that time, Oz really became his string puppet.
The big boy, who had a stern face according to Alan's instructions, did not know that he had almost embarked on another path with a bleak future. Fortunately, he made the right choice.
While the hall was bustling with noise, the female companion that Wyft had brought quietly left the hall. She quickly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and arrived at the corner of the shadows. First, he tore off the obstructing hem of his skirt, revealing a pair of smooth white thighs. On both sides of his tempting thighs, he tightly tied two daggers. The woman simply kicked off her high heels and flew barefoot down the alley.
She was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Fenrir City, constantly passing through the streets and alleys. If someone were to spy on her, eight out of ten would be ignored by her. The woman's goal was clear. She wanted to leave the city before dawn. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go anywhere at dawn tomorrow. Since the other party had bribed Wyft's butler, he knew that Wyft had hired the chief and several captains of the City Defense Forces to install them.
As long as he wasn't an idiot, he could feel his identity. Not to mention that Sir Alan didn't look like an idiot at all. On the contrary, he was terribly shrewd. After Wyft painstakingly arranged it, the three or two people were torn into pieces, and in the end, they ended up in a miserable state of detention awaiting death.
The woman had been both an assassin and a bed warmer for the old man for the past six months, but she didn't really want to die with the old man. She was definitely not a destitute killer whose team had been framed so that she was the only one who survived, as the old man knew. What gratitude for the old man's life-saving kindness was just an excuse to get close to Wyvert. As for whether Wyft really didn't think about this excuse, or if he just didn't want to pierce through it, the woman didn't know and didn't want to know.
She took a deep breath and increased her speed again, flying away like a red cloud under the darkness of the night.
The city gate was in sight.
The wind behind her blew loudly, and the woman turned her head to look, causing her scalp to explode.
Her silver hair swayed in the wind. The woman in her bright red pupils saw her panicked face. Who else could it be if it wasn't the young viscount chasing after her? In the blink of an eye, Alan rushed up the street building and instantly advanced. He rolled in mid-air and punched the woman with his head and feet.
The temperature around the woman suddenly rose and she hurriedly stopped. In front of her, a flame screen shot up out of thin air, blocking her path. The curtain of fire rose and fell, and Alan had already landed on the ground, blocking her path. The woman had already seen the city gate in the distance, but there was an Ellen between her and the city gate.
Although he was only one person, it was as if he had crossed an unsurmountable peak!
Just as the woman was about to jump back, she heard a dull sound. She turned around and saw that the female swordswoman who had cut down the flag was standing in the middle of the road. The heavy sword leaned on the ground, its body refracting the cold moonlight, causing the woman's face to turn even paler.
Alan smiled and said, "I wonder how a dying old man could be so capable that he almost changed Fenrir City." If he really had the ability, he wouldn't have been able to repair Duruf so badly that day. After that, I flipped through the information in my hands and found out that it was only after Weaver got to know you that he started to act so arrogantly. Then please tell me, Miss Yazini. Who on earth are you? Or, who told you to get close to Wyft? "
