Volume 2 + Chapter 130: The Old Bastard
Arland was fleeing with his son Oba.
“President Arland, don’t leave us behind!!” The new nobles shouted loudly from behind.
But as the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Arland Elvin chose to abandon these people.
What nonsense about sharing honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together!
The most important thing was to ensure his own interests first, who cares about you people?
He had always thought this way and educated his son as such.
“Father, what should we do now?” Oba asked.
“We’ll return to our family’s manor first and take away everything we can. Don’t bother with this group!” Arland ordered, “Now, we can no longer stay in this city!”
“Ah… Are we just going to watch as we lose everything?”
“Shut up!”
The enraged Arland had lost all his composure and gave his own son a big slap, hitting him so hard that he spat out blood.
Oba was stunned on the spot.
In his mind, his father always disciplined him like this, looking down on people, making him feel very angry.
“Father, if it weren’t for your decision last night to insist that the Silver Dragon Princess was an imposter, how would we have fallen to this point?!”
“How dare you ask me? You useless thing, if not for the information you confidently provided, how could I have determined whether she was real or fake!!” Arland slapped Oba again.
This time it evened out the other side.
Sent flying, he covered his cheeks, eyes flashing with a hint of resentment, but still forcibly held it back.
“I’m sorry, Father.”
“Complaining is useless now, shut up and just follow me!”
Arland summoned the Security Team to protect himself and returned all the way to the Elvin family’s manor.
His goal was very clear, take the family fortune and run!
But as soon as he returned to the manor, before taking a few steps inside…
“Arland Elvin and Oba Elvin, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Thousand Kills appeared, leading a group of gang members behind her to ambush them.
“Sure enough, you would definitely flee back in a sorry state, single-mindedly trying to escape. You were bound to fall into an ambush.”
“You bastard!!”
Arland was furious at the sight of Thousand Kills.
“Thousand Kills, you actually betrayed us! It was you who deliberately passed on false information!”
“Betray? No, no, no, Lord of the Elvin family, and your foolish son, I merely chose to abandon darkness for the light,” Thousand Kills wagged her finger, “Although I act in darkness, my heart faces the light…”
Arland was almost driven mad, but now he really couldn’t do anything to Thousand Kills.
His family’s manor had already been occupied. If he forced his way in, once the enemy’s reinforcements arrived, he would definitely lose his life.
On the other hand, the Security Team could no longer spare any manpower to assist him. These few people were the last ones he could use.
“You guys, hold them back!!” Arland ordered the members of the Security Team.
“Huh? President Arland, but…”
The Security Team members hesitated.
There were only a dozen of them left now, far from enough.
“Hold them off, while I call for reinforcements from the rest of the Security Team, understand? If I die here, you’ll have no hope at all!!”
Arland could only make up lies to make the Security Team members sacrifice their lives for him.
“Understood.”
The Security Team members could only grit their teeth and charge forward.
“Go!”
Arland took Oba and broke out of the encirclement together.
……
“Princess, the battle is nearing its end.”
Ajin came to report to Xia Yi.
“Now, the armed forces of the Security Team have all been suppressed by the rebels and the gangs. They have lost the ability to change the situation. Total defeat is only a matter of time.”
Xia Yi gazed at Ajin, the former pioneer of the rebels, who today reignited his passion, shaking off his decadence, leading the poor to finally overthrow the new nobles.
“Ajin, your wish has come true.”
“Thank you for giving me and the dragons in the lower district this opportunity to take revenge and vent the grievances that have accumulated for so many years.”
Ajin knelt on the ground and bowed devoutly.
“The people of this city will never forget your name and this kindness.”
Xia Yi smiled slightly without saying much.
“The battle is not over yet. Please allow us to clean up the remaining Security Team.”
“Go ahead.”
“Understood.”
Ajin stood up, nodded, and took his troops to suppress the remaining members of the Security Team.
“Miss Mu Guang… oh no! Princess!”
Thousand Kills hurried to Xia Yi’s side to report: “Arland Elvin and his son, Oba Elvin, previously returned to the Elvin family’s manor and were ambushed by us. The Security Team members under his control have been defeated by us. Now that he has lost all his pieces, he is fleeing in a panic, at a dead end.”
“Do you know where he went?” Xia Yi asked.
“I know. Please come with me. Arland has a secret shelter. I had secretly investigated it,” Thousand Kills replied proudly, “Now we’re just waiting for you to catch the turtle in the urn.”
Xia Yi was a little surprised. Thousand Kills’ intelligence gathering ability was quite excellent. It seemed the title of Corolle’s number one assassin was not an exaggeration.
“You deliberately left Arland for me to deal with?”
“Cough cough.” Thousand Kills didn’t directly admit it, but she didn’t deny it either.
This little thoughtfulness of hers was indeed quite endearing.
“Serra, let’s go with Thousand Kills to find Arland.” Xia Yi said.
“As you command, Princess.” Serra nodded.
The three of them set off together to the final battle.
……
In a secret shelter somewhere in Corolle.
“Father, can we hide here?” Oba asked.
“Shut up! The supplies I prepared here in advance are enough for for ten years. As long as we hide here and don’t go out, no one will find us!” Arland’s mentality was on the verge of exploding.
Oba turned around, no longer looking at his father. No matter what, he could not accept this ending…
Arland held his forehead, feeling like his head was about to split open.
This was his last resort.
Hide here, wait for the commotion outside to pass, then secretly leave Corolle and seek refuge with foreign powers.
Previously, the New Chamber of Commerce had always done special business.
The Silver Dragon Queen had once issued an order to strictly control the export of certain resources.
But the New Chamber of Commerce secretly opened channels behind the backs of the Royal Dragon Family and sold these to foreign forces who would purchase them at a very high price.
In this way, not only could they evade taxes, but they could also obtain extremely exaggerated profits… It was this kind of business that allowed the new nobles who joined the New Chamber of Commerce to develop rapidly.
The infinite expansion of desire finally brought about destruction.
“It’s okay, I’ve sold them so many resources and cooperated with them for so many years. We can take refuge with the foreign races. They will definitely take us in. As long as we don’t die, there will always be a day to turn the tables…”
Arland kept muttering in a low voice.
“Father!!”
“What are you yelling for? Didn’t I tell you to be quiet!!”
“They’re here, they’re here!!” Oba shouted in horror.
Arland quickly raised his head and looked at the magic surveillance formation, finding people invading, approaching the shelter.
It’s over, it’s completely over this time.
Arland was dumbfounded.
Oba’s eyes changed again, then he changed his expression and shouted, “Father, behind you!”
“What is it?!”
Arland quickly turned around, but saw nothing.
However, the next second—
Puchi!
A dagger pierced his body from behind.
Oba revealed a cold smile.
“Old bastard, I’ve endured you for a long time.”
