Chapter 922: A Flaring Omen
Thehis act of criot into a violent clash with the soldiers and eventually committed suicide upon defeat!
This piece of news shook the entire Highland City It wasn’t because the murderer was captured so soon that caused an uproar Instead, it was due to his identity After investigations, the ious elder in the city—Morey Heather!
Morey was a popular figure ahland City He was once an official in law and order He was upright, plainspoken, and often sided with the people against the unfair treath the Alanic Financial Group had always disliked hiet rid of him On the other hand, Morey’s actions also didn’t threaten the Alanic Financial Group Apart fro for the people’s benefits, he always kept a low profile and had never thought of using his huge influence to bring forth changes This was the reason why the Alanic Financial Group spared his life If Morey attempted to turn himself into a revolutionary leader, he would have been in a certain grave by now
The fact that the Alanic Fae a city proved that they weren’t the sort of people ould slaughter the entire fa person Merchants were all about profits, so it didn’t matter even if they let someone like Morey stay alive After all, he was an honest person and wouldn’t stir trouble To the Alanic Fa the people ere obedient to his every word Those people often complained to him first hand whenever they faced unfair treatments
But who knehich idiot would take his place and gather the people against them if they were to kill Morey? The Alanic Faoal was to earn ainst less to say these things now
Morey’s death caused a huge uproar in Highland City Although it see returned to peace after his death, Shane are that the city was like a volcano waiting to erupt anyti appeared calm now but once the explosion happened, there would be a ence network indicated that ht that Morey wasn’t wrong and it was the greedy merchants who came here with ill intentions Some people even believed that the ht reedy bastards must be chased out of the city! This is our responsibility! We must inherit and carry forward Morey’s will!
Soly believed that Morey wasn’t the oat for thethis chance to wipe out those who oppose thehland City!
Although there were reat news for Shane because all of the anger and confusion was targeted at the top hland City: the Alanic Financial Group If Shane didn’t resolve this problehland City would break out in a crisis!
Frankly speaking, Shane didn’t believe that Morey was thethe city for more than a decade and when he first arrived, Morey was the official of law and order After Shane took control over Highland City entirely, Morey left the job Froth but was merely an official in this border city, so hoerful could he be? Hoas it possible that he sneaked past hundreds of Viper Gang’s soldiers and hanged the corpses on the stelae? Although Morey displayed strength that exceeded Shane’s expectations during the battle, Shane thought that the strength was still within acceptable range It was due to this reason that he felt that the situation wasn’t this si is just too flawless
Such nasty incidents happened during the past three days and yet they were easily resolved on the fourth Although Shane could co security around the city which forced Morey out of his conceal of Morey, the latter wasn’t a rash and stubborn person If Morey were thethe strengthened defenses After all, Highland City couldn’t possibly be on high alert everyday and as an ex-official in law and order, it wasn’t difficult for hience on the security levels in the city He could have chosen to lay low and strike again after the security levels dropped Shane believed that he would be in a huge headache if Morey did that But Morey didn’t seem to be aware of this crucial issue He siht and was discovered by others… Was he that confident in his skills? Or were there other reasons?
Up until this moment, Shane felt that there was so that happened He realized that he was like a clown of a character as forced to be involved in a dra the lines, he couldn’t do anything else If he did, he would be chased off the stage by the crowd But if he continued to follow the script, he ht possibly end up in the fathoreat because he realized that the situation wasn’t in his grasp Instead, he was being controlled by it
He had a hunch that this was only the start
Not only Shane felt this way, but Clive also felt a huge headache
“We can’t remain silent anyroup of men
“I’ve said it before that this is the critical period We have to reainst the Alanic Financial Group with our strength?”
“Yes!”
The lared with bloodshot, furious eyes at Clive
“We can’t tolerate it anyo this far for us, but what have we done for hi for him to handle This isn’t what Sir Morey can resolve alone! This is the probleh, but we have the entire Highland City behind us! As long as we gather the people and rebel, ill be the victors!”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Clive widened his eyes at his cohland City into our conflict? Do you kno many weak and innocent people are there? Do you want their families to die in war? Is this what you want?!”
“So what?! We’re no different fro dead, isn’t it? Do we have a choice to choose if we’re like slaves who struggle on whilst at death’s door or heroes who die honorably? I’ve had enough I’ve had enough of hiding behind others We have to fight for our rights I won’t give up even if it turns into a river of blood You can back off if you’re afraid! You coward!”
“I’nashed his teeth and retorted
“This situation is disadvantageous for us and we’re liketo stop a chariot We should be cautious under such circumstances…”
