Chapter 24 Mob Moment

Fernando, who was at the door of the mayor's house, was stunned when he heard this.

It seemed like the housekeeper was the one calling you just now, right?

A mob surrounded his mansion?

What's happening here?

Before he could figure it out, a middle-aged man in his late fifties soon stumbled into the mayor's mansion.

This person is Fernando's butler.

After the housekeeper saw Fernando, he stopped in front of him panting, holding his thighs with his hands.

"Master... something serious has happened... go back and take a look quickly."

Fernando immediately noticed that the butler's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his clothes were full of dust and torn places, so he asked uneasily: "What on earth happened?"

The housekeeper shook his head, took a breath, and said in a panic: "Master, the mob is... surrounding our mansion."

"What! What kind of mob is so brave?!"

Fernando still looked in disbelief at this time.

After all, he has always been the one secretly controlling the civilians to cause trouble. When did the civilians go to his house to cause trouble?

But seeing that the butler didn't look like he was lying, he could only turn his head and look at Thanos.

"Lord Mayor, as long as you are willing to send troops to help me, I am willing to pay one hundred gold coins."

At this time, although he vaguely felt that all this was a conspiracy behind Thanos's back, he also understood that now was not the time to care about it.

After all, my family is important, so I don’t have time to take care of this.

But until now, he only thought that the other party was trying to make him surrender, so although he was anxious, he thought he could control the situation.

So just offering one hundred gold coins, hoping to make the other party stop, can be regarded as a sign of submission.

Don't underestimate one hundred gold coins, ordinary people may not make that much money in their lifetime.

When Thanos heard this, he just smiled and shook his head.

"I'm very sorry. I'm just the mayor, so I can't control this. You should talk to the Colma Police Chief."

One hundred gold coins, just to beg for food.

When Fernando heard this, he narrowed his eyes, but still said unwillingly: "Two hundred gold coins, this is the highest price I can offer."

The other party doesn't mean to reconcile.

This made him very angry, but also made him feel more uneasy.

Thanos still shook his head and said meaningfully: "Sorry, I advise you to go back early. Maybe you can control the situation."

Hearing that the other party rejected his kindness again, Fernando knew in his heart that he and the other party were already fighting to the death.

It seems that the other party will not want any of the future taxes.

Soon, he could only summon the guards outside the house, and then went back with the housekeeper.

When Sara and Marco saw this, they just looked at each other and finally decided to go home first.

After all, too many things happened today, and they needed to sort them out.

At the same time, he was also wavering in his heart, whether he should continue to follow Fernando and offend the new mayor together.

After all, it's not worth risking your life just for that few gold coins.

…

at the same time.

Outside Fernando's mansion, four to five hundred civilians were holding torches and throwing stones and bricks inside.

"Hit the Walkins family! Avenge our relatives!"

"Damn it, the Walkins family, the carriage fell at the gate of the city, killing our relatives!"

"Fernando was corrupt and violated the law. He loaded a carriage with millions of gold coins, which made it impossible for the city gates to be closed, resulting in the death of hundreds of people."

Fernando's surname is Walkins, also known as the Walkins family.

The angry people screamed louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more agitated. If dozens of guards hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed directly to the mansion.

But even so, those stones and bricks made the people inside uncomfortable at all.

In the mansion, more than a dozen of Fernando's wives and children were anxiously surrounding the hall.

"Uh-huh...when will the master come back?"

"What happened?"

"Why do some people say that our carriage contains millions of gold coins?"

"What do these stupid people know? Millions of gold coins can't fit even ten carriages, let alone one carriage."

"Why did our carriage fall down at the city gate? Isn't the city gate always blocked?"

"Yes, isn't it true that the carriage won't let you out?"

They were puzzled as to why the aboriginal invasion at noon had anything to do with them.

At this time, no one knew that a carriage carrying their family's flag had fallen at the city gate at noon.

If he knew, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

After ten minutes.

When Fernando rushed home with his guards and housekeeper, he found that his home had not been stormed by the mob, and he felt relieved.

As long as the family is safe, everything can be undone and the misunderstanding can be explained.

Their carriage did not leave the city at noon today, not to mention that it was loaded with millions of gold coins and fell at the city gate, causing the natives to enter the city.

But Fernando didn't know that death was quietly coming at this moment.

Wilkin, who was hiding in the dark, saw that the target finally appeared, and nodded to a few of his men in the dark.

You must know how much effort he put into inciting the common people this time, and now it's finally time to reap the fruits.

So the next second, those subordinates started shouting.

"Fernando is here! Someone come quickly!"

"The time has come to avenge my family!"

"Come on, avenge your loved ones!"

"Kill the administrator who embezzled millions of gold coins!"

When the angry crowd heard Fernando's appearance, they immediately rushed over in a chaotic manner.

But at this time, most people are still rational and just want to go over and ask for an explanation, understand the cause and effect of the matter, and preferably blackmail them.

After all, Fernando's reputation in Zixi Town has always been good.

However, the chaotic crowd also gave Wilkin's men an opportunity to take action.

When the angry crowd surrounded Fernando and his guards, someone took action decisively.

A dagger passed through the guards on the perimeter and penetrated directly into Fernando's chest and into his heart.

Fernando's eyes widened and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Isn't this one of Thanos' men?

At this moment, he suddenly understood.

All this is Thanos's conspiracy, not to make him surrender, but to kill him.

At this moment, he really wanted to ask the other party, since the two of them had no life-or-death enmity, why did they want to kill him.

But soon, several more daggers stabbed him, taking away his last breath.

When everyone saw Fernando lying down covered in blood, everyone was stunned and did not react at all.

But when the housekeeper and the guard also fell into a pool of blood, the people who saw them began to panic and wanted to escape.

But there are more people on the periphery who have not seen it and have no idea what happened.

At this time, Wilkin's men continued to shout.

"To avenge my family!"

"Kill corrupt officials! Eliminate harm for the people!"

"Storm into the Walkins house! Take back the gold coins that belong to us!"

Whether they were people who wanted to leave or people who were at a loss, driven by hatred, they instantly turned into a mob and began to rush towards the Walkins Mansion.
