Chapter 916 - Highland City (2/2)
But shortly after, the Light Parliahland City as riots and dispatched soldiers to repress the situation Although the Country of Light’s army was indeed useless and would crumble in the face of any Undead Creatures now, they were still strong enough to take down the muscular, unarmed miners
In the end, the ‘riots’ were suppressed and several leaders were thrown into jail and executed Thereafter, the Country of Light strengthened their ‘hland City and at thisfoodstuff, water sources, est financial groups In Highland City, the people slogged their lives away for stingy salaries while the higher-ups of merchants enjoyed luxurious feasts everyday
Of course, this ithout saying that a group of people including Clive would be resentful against them However, they felt helpless because ever since the ‘riots’ ended, the nuhland City increased dra soldiers were direct, private soldiers of the hland City were only pathetic garrisons of slightly over a hundred… What could the garrisons even do? If it were in the past, perhaps they could continue to tolerate this abuse But now, the Void Territory appeared and Clive discovered this new opportunity
If they could receive assistance from Void Territory, perhaps they could break away froht and leadpeople like Clive wasn’t afraid of taking them Clive cautiously researched about the new territory and also heard news about its overlord—Rhode Alander
Of course, there was naturally ht However, the bad neas great news for Clive because this overlord of Void Territory belonged to the anti-parliahland City If they could receive the support of that man, they would surely be able to break free froht
But it was a pity that not everyone thought the sa the city owner, was doubtful of Void Territory’s capabilities After all, it was a new territory while they had witnessed the strength of the Country of Light Of course, the Country of Light was currently like an ill elephant beyond cure and anyone could push them over But an elephant was still an elephant despite the illness It could still easily squash an ant like Highland City without showing roup of seniors wasn’t willing tosuch lives But if they were to rely on Void Territory, their lives would restart all over again Would the situation take a turn for the better? No one knew But to the group of seniors, it was the right choice not to change
What delighted the group of seniors was that the Light Parliahland City, announcing that they were hland City The seniors were aware that due to the appearance of Void Territory, the Light Parliaoodwill to theood news for the this chance to elevate the position of Highland City and turn this city into a valuable asset of the Light Parlianized their ihland City would be treated better and benefit more
On the other hand, Clive scoffed at this approach He believed that the group of seniors were too rigid and fear had overcoht Parliament valued this place, ould they even hand this city over to the five largest financial groups? When that happened, the Light Parliaement and perhaps the city oould be disposed of like a piece of trash
What gave Clive a bigger headache was the existence of the daydrea neutral party The beautiful, i left him completely speechless The neutral party hoped that their special geographical location could lead to benefits froht and Void Territory Then, after they declared independence, they could becoht and Void Territory When that happened, everyone ht just htful… Hahaha It feels awesoue with theree to such thoughts Indeed, after the dragon soul protection expanded over Highland City, their value was instantly revealed But it was also due to this reason that they found theht Parliaion off Lead them by the nose after we became independent? Do you really think that they’re idiots?
Clive also thought that the city oas exceedingly foolish to be fearful of the Light Parlia but what h the Country of Light hated Rhode to the core, there must be some basis for it This proved that Rhode was an absolutely vicious and merciless person, so wasn’t the city owner afraid that he would slaughter the entire city? At this point in tiraphical location to Rhode and he couldn’t care less about the people living within Although Clive didn’t trust the rumors too much, he knew that Rhode would definitely be a harder character to deal with if the ruh…”
His subordinates sighed to Clive’s response They didn’t have any other solutions now because after all, this group of young hland City They also weren’t willing to get too close to thein the h they were concerned about the future of their city, they were couys won’t give up on their authority I guess we should fight for our destiny ourselves While the old guys are indecisive, it gives us the best opportunity, isn’t it? We should use this chance to communicate with Void Territory If we succeed, we can break away froht Parliament! We only have one chance If we miss it, we may not have any chances left!”
“Of course I’m aware, but it isn’t time yet”
Clive knitted his brows Then, he scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice
“The Light Parliament has spies all around If we act on our oe o to waste We have the opportunities, but we must have the patience for them If we don’t practice patience, how different are we from that bunch of old men? Don’t be overly anxious There are still chances”
Clive waved his hand
“Alright, I’ve got to welcouys sure are panicky nohile they never gave a daru off
Half an hour later
Clive curled his lips as he witnessed a luxurious, golden carriage dashed across the road He had always disliked thewas ance, but he had to do his job as the city owner’s assistant
The carriage ca open At this moment, the look of disdain on Clive’s face was nowhere to be seen Instead, it was replaced by an unprecedented, waruests; welcohland City I’m Clive Barbet and I’m happy to serve you”
He went up to the front of the carriage alreeting that he said for more than a thousand tiaze into the carriage, he was stunned
There was a young lady with golden curly hair and a beautiful young lady with silky, straight black hair gazing at his, Mr Clive I’ht…”
