When Mayor Shermer saw that Elijah and the others had brought in the three outsiders, he realized that there were six people in total!
In fact, the dozen or so young and strong villagers could have knocked these six people down with their sticks.
However, one of them had a gun, and if they started shooting beforehand, things could get much more complicated.
Nowadays, those over forty in the village had practiced target shooting and served as primary militia, while those under thirty had rarely touched guns.
Not used to hearing gunshots, the sudden sound could scare them and lead to more significant trouble.
Fortunately, one way or another, the six people were taken down, and although everyone felt scared afterward, everything had ended perfectly.
The lights in the Knight Family's courtyard were already on because of the gunshot, and the nearby neighbors also came out. When they heard that someone tried to assassinate the Knight Family, they got furious!
