Chapter 764 - The Greatest Advantage of Canines (1/2)
Chapter 764 The Greatest Advantage of Canines
Held down by Roland with one hand, Charles couldn’t break free at all.
First of all, Roland was at the Legendary level, and already level sixteen, even if the Mage’s physical growth was relatively lower, the Constitution wasn’t bad as long as the level was high enough.
For example, Roland could now simply use brute force alone to pummel a level three high constitution growth Warrior without using magic.
Charles’s occupation was merchant, a casual occupation.
This profession’s main attribute was Charm, and with his level only being eleven, he naturally couldn’t break free from Roland’s grip. He struggled hard a few times, his face turning red without being able to break himself from Roland’s clutches.
And it was in plain sight.
He immediately felt a bit embarrassed!
“Let go!” He looked extremely irritated.
“I’m asking you, is what Gerton said true?” Roland asked again. “I told you to let go,” Charles roared. “You are so uncultured.”
At this moment, he could already imagine the sarcastic comments about him in the livestream room.
Something about being weak and not even being able to counter a Mage’s grip.
“Wrong answer.”
Roland smiled as light blue lightning instantly enveloped Charles!
Instant cast Thunder Palm!
First Charles had a shock in his eyes, then his whole body trembled as if all his cells had been fitted with a small motor running at full power.
His hands were shaking so fast that there were afterimages.
Then after two seconds, his body rapidly dehydrated and soon fell to the ground as a charred, dried corpse.
Straight-up murder!
PK between players was not surprising, and it wasn’t like they couldn’t be revived.
However, Charles was the chairman of Cornucopia, and now Cornucopia, with the cooperation of the Hollevin royal family, had expanded its power quite a bit. It was one of the top five guilds in the entire server, holding a large number of resources, and could be said to be quite influential.
However, Roland electrified him straight away.
In the presence of countless internet users.
Then a huge wave of people in the pop-ups started spamming that Roland was bullying people with his power, but seconds later, a flood of “Nice kill” or “If Roland killing people is bullying people with his power, then is it justice when Charles yells at a maidservant?” and such counter comments were made.
Among the few livestreamers, two were from Cornucopia.
One of them jumped straight up and shouted, “You actually killed someone at the drop of a hat, aren’t you afraid of the red name? So uncultured, shame on you!”
Oftentimes, being cultured was a cure-all for accusing others, and once it was out, it was as if one could take the moral high ground.
“What’s there to be afraid of,” Roland said indifferently. “Killing a player and becoming red-named, at worst it’s just dying once from being besieged. Someone like Charles, who bullies orphans and widows and drives people to their death, is indeed very cultured. If this is the culture of Cornucopia, then I’d rather not be associated with such culture.”
He said this to the bashful man who had jumped up and shouted.
Roland looked at those livestreamers and added, “Wetland City is Betta’s heart and soul. Whether it’s his relatives’ inheritance or otherwise, it’s not something that a trash guild like Cornucopia can get its hands on. I will say this now: if Charles brings people to rob the rights to Wetland City, I’ll kill them once I see them.”
After speaking, Roland sat down directly in the city hall and asked Gerton, “With the Knights of the Round Table gone, how many vacancies need to be filled before the city hall is up and running again?” “It must be around two hundred at least,” Gerton said helplessly. “Many of the key positions Master has placed are for the Knights of the Round Table.”
“Who else in the city hall now knows more about the functional operation process?”
“I, Mr. Roland. Hello, I am a commoner, Dacnus.” A young man who was a native stepped forward. “I have previously been serving as the clerk of Mayor Betta, helping him with the delivery of almost all orders and messages, so I have a better understanding of the plans and patterns of the entire Wetland City.”
“Then a temporary position of deputy mayor will be created and you will be assigned its place. Now start recruiting people immediately. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t capable enough, the institutional functions of the Wetland City must be made to work again first.”
The youth responded excitedly, “Yes, Mr. Roland.”
“What a lofty mouth. He gave a direct order, treating himself as the mayor.” Another livestreamer of Cornucopia snorted and started to lead the narrative. “On what basis, just because you’re high-level?”
“Just with the floating city in the sky.” Roland sat down casually before turning to them. “For now, Wetland City is under the temporary management of F6. How it is handled after that will depend on whether Betta’s parents want the place or not. If they don’t want it or don’t want to dispose of it, things will be discussed separately.”
“Tsk, to put it bluntly, it’s still overwhelming people with power. Will that convince anyone? Not many players will agree with you on that,” the livestreamer continued to shout.
“What’s wrong with me oppressing people with my power now? Why do I need other people’s consent?” Roland looked at him and calmly said, “If you talk any more, I will go and turn Cornucopia into a crater right now. It was never Cornucopia’s right to interfere in the affairs of Wetland City.”
That livestreamer was so agitated by Roland that his brain filled with blood and he was about to retort but was pulled away by another livestreamer.
They didn’t dare to gamble. It was already humiliating enough that their chairman was directly killed. If their base was blown up, they would become the laughing stock of others for a long time.
After the livestreamers left, Li Lin and the others came over and asked, “What now?”
“Stay, wait for Schuck to come; he is Betta’s cousin and has some say and authority.” Roland stood up and said to the maidservants next to him, “Also, bury Lisa, right in the backyard of the mayor’s residence—I’m sure she’ll be happy.”
The maidservants left, and two of them who were close to Lisa even wiped tears from their eyes.
After that, Roland sat in the city hall the whole time.
Roland was the strongest in the entire server, and there was a terrifying floating city hanging in the air to deter the rascals.
None of the residents of the game world, even the ambitious ones, dared to act rashly, and the several lords of the surrounding territories, who had some friction with Betta before, didn’t dare to act rashly either.
And while the players were staying put, for now, there was a lot of discussion about it in the forums.
