A strange world

Chapter 1029 Chapter 260. Master Olmei is here, and there will be peace!

As one of the top officers of the city guard, Sheriff Milburn's arrest caused as much commotion as Annan's arrest of Barr Montreal.

After all, the Sheriff is the real official with real power. He and the other two Sheriffs jointly oversee thousands of city guards. Moreover, Sheriff Milburn has a lot of experience and is a member of the parliamentary reserve.

The nobles in the city thought that Annan, who was unable to be promoted, would disappear for a while after becoming the president of the court... but it turned out that after disappearing, he made a big news.

Even such a big shot was arrested by Mr. Olme... Will he not even let the congressmen go?

Already some frightened nobles called Master Olme the "Hound of the Kingdom", which sounded like some kind of honor, but in fact it was a mockery of him being the dog of the kingdom.

Annan didn't care. Anyway, he would take the benefits himself and the royal family would take the responsibility for the bad things. They were scolding Young Master Olme for what he had to do with Annan?

As soon as Sheriff Milburn was sent to the dungeon, Annan's former boss, Sheriff Herner, sent someone to intercede on his behalf.

On the surface, the three sheriffs are not related to each other and there is a slight contradiction. In fact, they are like a secret alliance... After all, they have the same status and the same methods of making money. Who doesn't know whose ass is dirty?

Facing his old superior, who was still the military minister Reinado, Annan's attitude was very tactful: "He colluded with the Blade of Freedom. This is a forbidden area in the kingdom."

Who doesn't know that the king in the palace hates Free City the most? Sheriff Herner settled for the next best thing: If you really can't plead for mercy... then find another way so that Sheriff Milburn can never get out of the dungeon again...

Annan took a breath: "Hiss... you are more ruthless than me..."

"There is no way, Milburn knows too much. If he is left alive, he will probably bite us all out."

Knowing that there was such a good thing, Annan interrogated Sheriff Milburn overnight and asked him to vomit out everything he knew.

Annan is actually not a person who opposes punishment. He believed in tooth for tooth and eye for eye. The pain inflicted on the wicked does not excite sympathy.

"All the harm you have done to the Blade of Freedom will be repaid on you!" When Annan came to see Sheriff Milburn, he issued a vicious curse that made outsiders blush and made Annan want to laugh.

"That was really scary."

Annan's face was expressionless: "Are you going to carry it for them, or do you want to drag them into the water?"

Sheriff Milburn, who was fixed on the torture device, gasped and drooled: "Is there any difference? My family and I are finished!"

"You are wrong. Do you remember Viscount Lien? His innocent family was let go by me."

Sheriff Milburn was silent for a long time: "How do you prove it?"

The Achilles' heel of every nobleman is his family.

It's not that they care about family ties, but that the family is their continuation.

"There's no way to prove it." Annan spread his hands, "Either you choose to be a 'good guy' and bite the bullet and not bite out those people. In the end, only you will die yourself, and the families outside will be cannibalized. Or you can kill all the nobles who are standing by and watch. Bite them all out, and I promise to send your family out of the royal city."

"That means sending them to death? Where is the safe place in the kingdom..." Sheriff Milburn was thinking, which showed that he was hesitating.

"What about Middle-earth? No demons, no ratmen, and no minions of the kingdom."

Annan has seen Sheriff Milburn's family. They are not bad looking... No, they are relatively clean.

Although their luxurious life was all obtained by Sheriff Milburn with the dirty money he earned.

Sheriff Milburn said nothing. Annan smiled and said to the execution guard:

"Let our Lord Sheriff rest for ten minutes."

He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief for a while. Sweat flowed into the wounds that were ripped apart by the whip, and the burning pain made him feel clearer.

Sheriff Milburn weighed it up and found that compared to those nobles, Master Olmei really had the best reputation - at least he would kill you if he said he would.

He sighed.

How could it become like this?

The day before, he was still enjoying the privileges brought by his status, attending noble banquets, and being the most powerful candidate for parliament... but he just got caught with the blade of freedom, and the whole family fell apart?

How could there be such a reckless bastard! ?

Ten minutes were both long and short. When Annan came back, Sheriff Milburn said in a hoarse voice: "Some of them are great people. Do you dare to mess with them?"

"Barr, do you know?" Annan repeated this sentence again.

He arrested people from the royal family, but the king in the palace was indifferent. Doesn't this mean anything?

Sheriff Milburn finally gave up his tough words and lowered his head: "If I recruit them...can you let me go?"

"Sorry, this is the only thing that cannot be changed."

Annan had a copy of Sheriff Millburn's incriminating evidence. The top one was: the truck containing the trafficked women was discovered by the city guard. Because it was a caravan belonging to a political enemy, Sheriff Millburn deliberately banned the truck. Enter the city. By the time his political opponents bribed the city guards and entered through other city gates, the thirty-four women in the truck had frozen into ice sculptures.

Sin flows from every pore and blood of the nobles.

Annan can turn a blind eye to his family, but as for himself...

"Okay, I'll tell you."

Annan's persistence convinced Milburn: "Give me a pen and paper."

…

Dozens of minutes later, Annan walked out of the dungeon with several pieces of parchment full of names, got on the carriage and returned to the military minister's official residence.

Many eyes were watching Annan's every move. They didn't know how much Milburn had said, and they didn't have the courage to break into the heavily guarded Purification Court. They could only protect themselves in their own way.

For example, the new king had to start spreading the bounty against Olmer.

"They are anxious."

"After all, the thing in your hand can easily judge them." Renato said, suggesting that Annan hand the list to him and let him deal with it.

It was too risky for Annan to take it. What if a crazy noble attacked him on the street by any means... Even if nothing happened, it would be enough to scare the people of the Free City in the city.

"It doesn't matter. Whoever dares to come, I will take the list back to retaliate."

"What if they don't speak?"

Annan waved the list: "Whoever attacks me, I will settle accounts with the people on the list."

This strange calm lasted for a day. On the morning of the third day, Annan was attacked on the way to the Purification Court.

The first victim also appeared, but the guy said aggrievedly that it was not him, and Annan would find the next one...

The nobles finally couldn't stand it and went to the palace together. They knew Annan was favored, so they didn't say anything to slander or criticize him. Instead, they tried to praise Annan, calling him the successor to the chairman of the parliament, the hope of the kingdom, and saying that with the arrival of Master Olme, there will be peace.

They just wanted Master Olme to be transferred out of the new capital and go to the south to harm the Free Blade.
