Chapter 63: Chapter 61: Nasir’s Fischer
[If we come to blows now, we would definitely win. Speak up quickly, Emil.]
[I really want to have that bitch. The body beneath her black clothes must be lewd. What woman isn’t dying for it, what’s with the act.]
[Aaron, you’re bound to lose. I, Emil, will be the ultimate winner. You didn’t see this coming, did you? I know you have always looked down on me! Heh heh!]
The passive Extraordinary trait ‘Listening for Malice’ of the “Listener” silently activated.
Irene’s mind was flooded with the voices of those guys—some arrogant, some sleazy, and some haughty. She appeared to be unconcerned on the surface, but in reality, she was becoming increasingly annoyed.
The various malicious intentions of those people were too obvious; Irene really didn’t want to hear anymore and subconsciously tried to interrupt the manipulation of her Spirituality.
Suddenly she discovered that the voices had all disappeared and her mind felt much lighter. It turned out that she could also actively interrupt her own “passive type” Extraordinary traits by manipulating little tricks with her Spirituality.
She would have to tell Byrne about the little trick she found, Irene thought silently to herself.
She then reactivated her Extraordinary trait ‘Listening for Malice’. Although there was a lot of distasteful content, it would be great if any of the words proved to be useful.
It was evident that the “Listener” was not a Consecution adept at direct combat, but its functionality shone in moments like this.
“Fischer family, hand over Aaron and kneel before us, begging for mercy immediately!”
Emil shouted at them, and the numerous silver descendants around him also urged the Fischer family to turn over Aaron.
The momentum of nearly a hundred people asking in unison was immense, giving those behind the iron gate no sense of security at all, with some of the weaker guards trembling and even whispering to Byrne and Irene that it might be better to lower their heads.
“Lower our heads for what!”
The Guards Captain Theo of the Fischer family roared in anger, kicking over several of his own men, feeling utterly disgraced.
Yet he could feel that more and more people were becoming afraid, and this continuing situation was indeed problematic. However, Theo soon noticed that acting head of the family Byrne and Madam Irene both appeared calm and very confident, showing no fear of the situation at hand.
Somehow seeing this, Theo’s heart also relaxed.
Having been around them for many years, even watching Byrne and Irene grow up, he knew they would never do something they weren’t sure of.
Irene calmly shook her head, then turned and said to the Fischer family members, “Don’t be afraid, we won’t have any problems. Just stand against them like this.”
She could be completely assured because she had learned Emil’s inner thoughts through ‘Listening for Malice’.
[We can’t really break into such a large-scale conflict. A lot of people will die, and I could get hurt, which would be difficult to handle afterward.]
[Just intimidate them a little more, and they will definitely hand over Aaron. These Fischer people can’t hold out.]
Irene was very clear that Emil did not have the courage to fight them, so all they needed to do was wait.
She knew that the situation on the scene would soon change because other people in the town couldn’t possibly be unaware of their grand show.
“What is going on here? Exactly what is happening?”
Suddenly Mayor Andes Hovern appeared on his expensive horse, arriving in a hurry, even slightly disheveled, with no signs of the sheriff or the patrol team around him.
If the patrol team had come, Emil and his silver descendant supporters might have really compromised and dispersed, but as only the mayor came alone, he felt he could withstand the pressure.
Emil looked at Mayor Andes and after a moment of thought spoke loudly:
“Mayor Andes! It’s like this. The Fischer family, being outsiders, manipulated the internal selection of the elders of the silver descendants clan. We must have an explanation! At the very least, that traitor must be handed over immediately!”
Many silver descendants around him also chimed in, raising their voices, and under the circumstance of overwhelming numbers, showing no fear of the mayor’s authority.
“Yes, yes, the traitor must be handed over!”
“Punish him publicly! The ancestors all have to watch!”
“This is an internal matter of our silver descendants clan, even the town chief cannot interfere!”
Mayor Andes had wanted to say something, but the other side was indeed too many, and they were loud, so any attempt to make a statement was drowned out.
He couldn’t help looking towards Byrne and Irene of the Fischer family, not knowing exactly what was going on, hoping the two could resolve the issue through negotiation with the silver descendants clan.
The issues of silver descendants and other sub-human races had always been important within the Cyart Kingdom, and even members of the Hovern family had to handle them cautiously.
So Mayor Andes got off his horse and walked toward the gate, looking through the iron door at Byrne inside.
“What exactly is going on, have you really done something to manipulate the selections?”
Byrne shook his head and sighed, “Mayor Andes, all I can say is that there’s absolutely no such thing. That’s just an excuse these people are using to slander us.”
Mayor Andes fell silent, clearly understanding that even if the Fischer family had indeed done such a thing, they would never admit it.
To completely resolve the current situation, one side had to back down, and the party that appeared weaker and more persuadable was obviously the people of the Fischer family.
Just as Mayor Andes was about to speak, suddenly another group of people came forward with torches. It turned out to be Aaron’s supporters—although they numbered only in the dozens, their momentum was not weak at all.
They were young people yearning for change.
