Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 61: Nasir’s Fischer (2/2)
“`
In the silver descendants clan, those who hoped for a change in the current state of affairs.
What Byrne and Irene truly chose were not Aaron, but rather those standing behind Aaron, filled with yearning and passion.
Emil didn’t fear this group, either; after all, they still had the advantage in numbers, and the silver descendants who supported both sides immediately started cursing at each other.
“Protect Madam Irene! We can’t let them harm our holy mother!”
Suddenly, many people surged over here, and everyone was stunned for a moment before they saw that it was Grandma Narda and her sons leading a crowd of the poor.
The number of poor people even surpassed that of the silver descendants, with hundreds forming a dense crowd that quickly surrounded the silver descendants, almost all of whom had been healed by Irene or their relatives over the past decade.
Ten years of cultivation.
In the course of over ten years, Irene had been treating the poor in public, continuously promoting and gaining momentum, and she was practically a living saint in those people’s hearts.
Grandma Narda’s sons controlled the largest gang of thieves, and they had been informed by Irene a few days ago to monitor the movements of the silver descendants, thus they reacted quickly.
They spread the news among the poor of East City and quickly made known what was happening; when people heard that Madam Irene was in trouble, almost all of them rushed over in response!
“Madam Irene is our benefactor, we can’t let anything happen to the Fischer family!”
“This bunch of inbred silver descendants have come out to disgust people, let’s beat them back!”
“Don’t let a single one of them escape!”
Emil and Mayor Andes were extremely shocked, but before they could react, yet another group had arrived.
Sea merchant John had rushed over with many sailors from the docks; he had more than two hundred sailors under him, and now more than a hundred and fifty followed him. This group of sailors was extremely united, all rushing over at John’s call.
“Damn, these stupid white hairs, I’ve disliked them for a long time already!”
“Give them a beating!”
Hugh Ramon and the workers from the smithy were also in this group, all burly and armed, ready to start brawling at any moment.
And the one who had informed them was Chris, the boy who had slipped away earlier, resembling a silver descendant, silently following behind John.
Neighbors who had initially been observing from their homes on this street also came out one after another, cheering for the Fischer family, already confident that this side would win.
Emil’s silver descendants suddenly went from having a numerical advantage to being the minority.
Irene calmly instructed the guards to open the iron gate and slowly walked forward, gazing into Emil’s eyes.
“If you still wish to stay here, I can continue to listen to your nonsense, but their patience might not be enough.”
Emil’s face underwent a drastic change, feeling the lady behind the black veil emanate a powerful presence, her eyes seeming to press him into the ground, making it almost difficult to breathe.
The verbal fight quickly turned physical, with a large-scale brawl becoming nearly inevitable, and Emil, frightened yet decisive, led his supporters in a retreat, not daring to say anything, fleeing in total disarray.
The supporters of the Fischer family taunted and laughed behind them, over five hundred people were extremely elated, following behind like triumphant victors for a long time.
“Does Nasir really have so many people willing to stand up for the Fischer family?”
Mayor Andes watched the scene silently, frowning, feeling a sense of unease deep inside.
The Fischer family of Nasir simply had too much public support; other families couldn’t come close, literally the ‘nobles without nobility’ as people said.
The sheriffs and patrolmen finally arrived, dispersing the crowd, and after exchanging greetings with Mayor Andes, Byrne, and Irene, who also left with an uneasy heart.
Grandma Narda, Hugh Ramon, Aaron, and sea merchant John were all invited into the house by Byrne and Irene, who treated them with great care to express their thanks.
After introducing themselves to each other, they gained some mutual understanding with the Fischer family at the core, becoming somewhat trustworthy acquaintances.
Aaron was the last to linger at the Fischer house, and he asked with a sneer, “Now you must think Emil must die, right? Oh, and the traitor must be dealt with too.”
“Of course.”
Byrne nodded, taking a deep breath, his gaze ablaze with fire: “And what we have to deal with is not just the two of them.”
Aaron shook his head, helplessly saying, “I actually prefer a more rational partner.”
Byrne looked at the lunatic with a look of disbelief, almost shouting, “Are you in any position to think I’m irrational?”
Ignoring Byrne’s displeasure, Aaron continued, “By the way, I have successfully become an elder, and the Class 3 Extraordinary Material mortgaged to you must be returned as per the agreement.”
According to the initial agreement between the siblings and Aaron, once he succeeded in becoming an elder of the silver descendants clan, the Fischer family would return that piece of Class 3 Extraordinary Material.
The reputation of the Fischer family had always been excellent, otherwise Aaron wouldn’t have turned to them.
However, Byrne suddenly revealed a smile that made Aaron uncomfortable, gazing at him with a subtle look:
“Aaron, wait until you transfer the ownership of that part of the mining property, then we can decide whether to return it… hmm, you’re not about to say ‘but you promised me,’ are you?”
