After I went in my room.

Usman ' Huh?'
Luminous ' Consider it an update.'
Usman ' Ok.'
Then, I slept after my usual procedure. Next day after breakfast, we came to compound. Quilt was struggling to free himself. We took him and put him in a sack. We carry him and went to house of Mahogany. We put him down. Public was already gathered seeing us.
Firuza " So... what are we going to do now?"
I looked towards them.
Usman" Do you trust me?"
They nodded. I cleared my throat.
Usman" People of Pure Jack! In the past week, you all faced two biggest hardships of your lives. First, increase in price of EVERYTHING! Second, destruction of stored products of merciful merchants who kept the old prices."
People were nodding.
Usman ' Who think my experience as shop employee will be useful like this?'
Firuza " W... what... is he.. doing?"
Ufia " My! It's a good strategy."
Firuza" Huh?!"
Ufia" You will know."
Usman" Last night, we caught Red-handed the culprit behind your second hardship but don't worry the compound is intact. We can ask the owner himself." I gestured towards Mr. Underwood.
People looked towards him and he nodded.
Xiona " How old is he?" She asked Firuza.
Firuza " 16, why?" She asked.
Xiona " WHAT?!" She looked at me.
Usman " Now, people of Pure Jack! You might be thinking, what the culprit wanted? Why he did it?" I said looking towards them.
People start murmuring. I went towards the sack and held it.
Usman " So, why not we ASK HIM!" I said removing the sack.
Gasps!
People were shocked.
Usman " Yes! The culprit behind it was your future lord himself." I said coming forward.
???" Why he do that?!"
???" What we do to him?"
Usman" Why not you asked himself?" I said gesturing to Ufia.
She removed the clothes from his mouth.
Quilt" YOU THINK! I WILL BE SCARED OF THESE LOW LIVES! YES! I DID EVERYTHING BECAUSE AS A FUTURE LORD OF THIS VILLAGE, IT'S MY RIGHT TO HAVE ALL THE PROFIT! IN OTHER WORDS! ALL OF YOUR MONEY BELONGS TO ME!" He said breathing heavily.
Usman ' Is he an idiot?'
Xiona " You scum! How much have you fallen?" She said with disgust.
Usman" You heard him! But it wasn't him only. How can he do this when there is already a LORD in the village."
Gasps!
People were shocked.
Usman" Yes! You get it right. The current lord give him his consent..."
Quilt" AAAHHH!" HE YELLED being pulled by chains?
Gasps!
I looked behind and an old man with a SKELETON and ZOMBIE was standing there.

Firuza "... Dear lord..." She said putting her hands on her mouth.
Ufia " But...how?!" She was shocked.
Xiona " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" She said with disgust.
Quinton" ... SILENCE...I KNOW... THIS WORTHLESS BRAT .... WAS USELESS... BUT NOT TO THIS LEVEL.... BECAUSE OF YOU....I HAVE TO REVEAL THE POWER... GIVEN TO ME BY THAT WITCH.... BUT IT WAS NOT ALL YOUR FAULT...." He said looking towards us.
