Chapter 502: Rallying The Masses (1/2)
It was not that Tang Shaoyang did not believe that a certain issue needed to be solved with words. But he was sure the issue with Mayor Tomas was not the one that could be solved with words.
This man had been in the highest rank in the town for years, he was not going to tolerate someone stronger than him to step into his pride just like that. Not selling the beastmen and the Dark Predator to him was a humiliation to the man, yet Ashley added it with a threat as well. The Mayor would return with more people with him and tried to return the humiliation on them.
Everything happened as Tang Shaoyang predicted, it was no different compared to gang conflict. It was about pride and power. He believed that Mayor Tomas made this big so others could see what would happen to someone who offended him. Tomas wanted to use him as an example to the others.
Tang Shaoyang, Ashley, Selena, and Aki were surrounded by the guards of Biaska Town right in front of Biaska Inn. Many hunters stopped by and wanted to know what actually happened.
”My people! Listen to me! We will be holding a public trial for a criminal! This man, he tried to kill me, the Mayor of Biaska Town! He is charged with the attempted murder and also illegally smuggled the dangerous creature!” Mayor Tomas announced loudly as he pointed at Tang Shaoyang and Aki, ”With that, this man will be publicly executed and his belongings will be confiscated by the town.”
A murmur broke amongst the crowd. Tang Shaoyang could hear what they were talking about clearly, ”He is doing it again!” ”He must be eyeing that Adolescent Dark Predator!” ”Yet another pitiful soul!” Those were the words of the hunters to watch for fun.
”Oh! Stupid People! Hear me out, this fool said that I am charged the attempted murder, but look at him! He's fine, there's no injury, his complexion is rosy and healthy, does it look like someone who just escapes from a murder?” Tang Shaoyang followed in a suit.
”He wanted to buy my pet, but I refused to sell my pets, hence he resorted to a shameful trick to get my pets. This is your Mayor, the Mayor of Biaska Town. Resorting a dirty trick to get what he wanted!” He yelled even louder that even the people that far from the square could listen to his voice.
”I will be the victim today, what about next time? It will be your turn, he will resort the same trick on you, my fellow hunters. The cycle will never end and the hunters in this town can never thrive because of the greedy mayor! We can't let that happen, we should fight and show the Mayor that we are not easily bullied by him!”
After he finished his words, the square was even getting louder with the murmur from the other hunters. Tang Shaoyang's words were true, after Tang Shaoyang, anyone could be the next target of the Mayor's vicious trick.
”Join me and fight the Mayor, or else you can be his target!” After saying that, Tang Shaoyang signaled to Aki, ”Start with your mind attack!” His mouth moved to say that but with no voice.
”ARGHHH!!!” Suddenly, a few guards around Mayor Tomas fell on their knees and clutched their heads. Screams echoed throughout the square, shocking the other guards and also the hunters. Even Mayor Tomas was not expecting Tang Shaoyang to attack him first.
”The Dark Tremor Beastmen! It's him, kill that thing!” Mayor Tomas pointed at Aki. He was quick with his response and found the culprit. He had done his research about Mind Control. While it was strong with the mind attack, it was weak physically and knew a little about spells. Mayor Tomas was confident in taking care of the Dark Tremor Beastmen.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A lot of hunters appeared on the rooftop of the building, pointing their arrows toward the beastmen. Their arrows were enhanced with mana which made them more powerful than a normal arrow.
However, Mayor Tomas miscalculated, or could be said he underestimated Aki's class and power. All the hunters who tried to snipe the beastmen suddenly fell off. The rat beastmen destroyed their minds and killed them. Compared to Tang Shaoyang, these hunters were nothing to him.
