Chapter 161: Dark Clouds Overcome the City (1)

While Rielde was thinking about countermeasures in the study, on the other side, Aureliano had already run back to his own manor and came to the protection of his servants at home. Seeing this, the playboys could only curse for a few words before leaving. They were unable to attack the residence of the Minister of Finance.

In the manor, Arcadio laughed out loud when he looked at his only son who was so scared that his soul was full of souls.

"Master..." The butler Eaton called out carefully.

"It seems that they have been working hard for a few days," Alcateo murmured to himself, and then ordered the butler Eaton, "You go and entertain my distinguished guests first."

Seeing this, the butler Eaton quickly took the order and left.

Arcadio thought about it while in the same place, then took out the phone bug and called William.

...

On the balcony of the manor, William was sitting on a chair, staring at the gloomy sky. The thick dark clouds covered the sky, as if they would fall from the sky at any time and crush the entire city.

A crew member of the Morgan Pirates pushed open the door and came to William's ear. After whispering to him the farce that had happened in the noble area before, he quickly retreated. After a while, the phone bug at his hand rang.

On the other side of the phone was Earl Reard, the Minister of Home Affairs. William said only one thing to him: "Let go and do it, just don't forget our agreement."

After hanging up the phone call from Home Secretary Reard, a few minutes later, Alcadio called again, and William repeated: "Let go and do it, just don't forget our agreement."

After the call with Alcatio ended, William gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then moved Harden's phone number. After the call was connected, he only said two words:

"Closed!"

...

After Arcadio put down the phone bug, he felt a little relieved. He first asked someone to call Clo. The two of them said something about it, and finally thought for a while, and asked a servant to support Aureliano, who was injured and simply bandaged, and the four of them went to the palace together to meet King Norton I.

After meeting Norton I, Alcateo directly ordered Clo to submit it to the Home Secretary Reard for corruption and abuse of power, supporting some "evidence" of alcohol transactions in the entire city behind the scenes, and brought out his injured son to do a bitter plan, saying that the emergencies were revenge that the Home Secretary Reard had planned for a long time.

Norton I seemed very surprised, but the Minister of the Interior Reard was also one of the four major ministers of state. The things in Arcadio's hands were enough for other little nobles to nail them to death, but they were far from enough for Reard. The most important thing was Norton I himself, and hesitated to deal with Reard, who had also been in a high position for a long time.

Arcadio stopped when he saw it was good, and did not engage in too much trouble, forcing Norton I. This accusation was just to bury a thorn in Norton I's heart, and to give a reasonable explanation for the later charge of rebellion, and to force Ryld to take action as soon as possible.

When Arcadio entered the palace and was about to seek the meeting with Norton I, an officer from the guard team had already gone to the palace of the Interior Minister Reard to inform him.

In the conference room, Earl Reard looked at a large group of nobles in front of him with a look of a solemn expression. There were civil servants and military officers, all of whom were opposed to Alcatel. The people in the room heard that Alcatel had taken Clo and Aureliano to the palace and looked unfair.

"Everyone, the enemy is pressing forward step by step, we can no longer sit still and wait for death!"

...

"Vice Dean, aren't you really leaving someone? If everyone leaves, the things left will definitely be stolen!"

A young female worker said to Honore in the slum relief house.

Honore, the deputy director of the Almshouse who once cooperated with William, put his hands on his hips at this time: "I said, leave, no one is allowed to stay!"

The female worker looked reluctantly at the direction of the warehouse. These female workers were basically from slums and knew that life was difficult: "But what is in the warehouse..."

"You don't need to worry about this. The above is speaking. Kalma City will be very chaotic these days. You can hurry up and go to the military camp near the dock to hide, don't ask for trouble!"

Under the orders of William, employees of the Ghetto Relief House hid in the military camps near the dock. These institutions usually save lives and help the wounded in the slums, and their every move is eye-catching. Naturally, their dynamic cannot be hidden from other people in the slums, especially most of the employees grew up in slums, and there are many relatives and friends in this land. Therefore, the news that Kalmar City is about to get messy quickly spread in the slums.

The news became more and more outrageous, and the reasons became more and more detailed. Among them, there were people who were interested in adding labor and materials, and they soon lost their original appearance. Some people said that a high-ranking official in the aristocratic district wanted to commit rebellion, and some people said that William and his backer were overthrown.

All kinds of true and false statements are everywhere, but only one thing can be confirmed that William and his armed forces have indeed disappeared from the slums. In order to test the truth and false news, the leader of the criminal gang specially instructed the thief to stole some things in the aid house. As a result, the thief returned safely and informed the aid house that there were many items that were not too late to take away.

This demon king of the world is really gone in disgrace?

This sentence circled in the minds of all the criminal gang leaders in the slums.

Before they could cheer and celebrate William's departure, they found that the slums seemed to be in a mess, as if William and his people left, the convenient place had lost order.

Some people dressed up by gang members robbed everywhere, attacked criminals from different gangs, and others set fires. Those who fought for supplies in the altar house evolved from quarrels to fighting. Some people with ulterior motives even began to incite residents and encourage them to attack the aristocratic areas.

Danpiel stood on the high slope, looking at the slums that were gradually rioting, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and behind him were the Morgan Pirate crew members dressed like gang members.

...

On the bow of a merchant ship, the navigator put down the telescope aimed at the direction of Kalmar City and said indignantly: "This group of damn pirates usually blackmail, but now they suddenly don't let others dock, so they can't do anything to supply. They're too domineering!"

The bearded captain next to him patted his shoulder: "Forget it, we can't afford to mess with them."

The warships of the Morgan Pirates in the distance were still wandering in the surrounding waters, with pirate flags painted with skulls flying in the wind, constantly driving out any ships with intentions to approach Kalmar City.

At the pier in Kalmar City, there was a group of pedestrians who were more unlucky than this merchant ship. They were directly blocked by the Morgan Pirates' warships, and they were neither allowed to leave nor disembark.
