Before coming to Green River Town, the fat man with a big head, Henry Vander, had actually heard that a year ago, this place suffered the disaster of being attacked and broken by the Altai Tribe.
Therefore, when he came here to take office, he was very unwilling. However, there was no other way. In these chaotic times, doing business was difficult. The reason he took out the silver he had saved for many years to bribe Lucius Blackthorn was to find a town he could exploit and plunder by any means necessary.
But unexpectedly, Lucius Blackthorn thought he gave too little money and finally sent Henry Vander to this barren town of Green River Town. Of course, this was only what Lucius Blackthorn thought. Now, under the management of Magnus Valorion, Green River Town was much better than the surrounding towns in every aspect.
When Henry Vander saw the walls of Green River Town, which were even higher than those of Lionheart City, the capital of Fierce Lion Province, he immediately changed his impression of Green River Town. To build such tall and heavy walls must have cost a lot of money. In other words, the people of Green River Town must still have a lot of money to be exploited.
So, Henry Vander, accompanied by his adviser—the former accountant Thomas Blackwood, took the appointment letter and marched grandiosely into the town hall of Green River Town, handing the letter to Magnus Valorion.
Magnus Valorion, who always advocated being kind to the people and serving them in every way, had turned the town hall into a public place where people could come and go freely. Therefore, no one stopped Henry Vander, his lackey Thomas Blackwood, or the dozen servants and attendants behind them.
When Henry Vander and Thomas Blackwood arrogantly threw down the appointment letter in front of Magnus Valorion and loudly demanded the police officers and clerks present to come and greet their new town mayor, everyone's first reaction was that these two must have lost their minds.
Just as Neil Thompson was about to call for people to drive these two lunatics away, Magnus Valorion stopped everyone after reading the letter. He knew that the person in front of him, Henry Vander, was sent by that dead man, Lucius Blackthorn, to disgust him. However, Magnus Valorion thought of a fun idea, and as he looked at Henry Vander and his entourage, he couldn't help but laugh sinisterly in his heart.
Magnus Valorion quickly stopped the policeman who was about to beat Henry Vander with a stick: "Wait, leave him alone!"
Magnus Valorion's prestige in Green River Town was godlike. Naturally, the policemen did not dare to disobey his orders. At the critical moment, the young and hot-blooded policeman stopped his stick from falling.
"Neil Thompson, William Brown, gather everyone here, I have an important announcement," Magnus Valorion calmly instructed, then let the fat Henry Vander sit quietly on the side.
Now, with the situation being stronger than the person, Henry Vander hadn't yet received the town mayor's seal to take over Green River Town, so he naturally had to endure and be accommodating for a while.
In no time, the two gathered everyone in the town hall. Magnus Valorion pointed to the fat man next to him and, sitting upright, said to everyone, "This gentleman here..."
Henry Vander, understanding the cue, quickly cupped his hands and said his name: "I am Henry Vander."
"Take this Sami and Altai spy and throw him into prison!" Magnus Valorion coldly ordered. The faces of Henry Vander and his men changed instantly.
Henry Vander also realized that Magnus Valorion had stopped the policeman from hitting him earlier, not out of kindness, but to wait for more people to publicly punish him.
Just as Henry Vander and his men wanted to resist, the policemen pinned them down. The policemen, who ate well and trained hard, easily subdued a few servants and attendants.
"You, Magnus Valorion, you dare..." Henry Vander wanted to say something but was interrupted by a heavy slap on the face from Magnus Valorion.
Henry Vander's fat face instantly had a red palm print on it.
Magnus Valorion slowly took out the appointment letter and said to everyone, "Our Green River Town was broken by the Altai Tribe half a year ago. At that time, I, Magnus Valorion, had not yet taken office."
"The heads of the former town mayor and secretary were cut off and hung on spears. But now, this document says that the fall of Green River Town is my responsibility. Isn't that funny?"
"Yes! This document must be fake! These two are spies sent by the Altai or Sami. We should just kill these spies!" the hot-blooded Ethan Thompson said righteously.
Others also echoed Ethan Thompson's suggestion, clamoring to kill Henry Vander and Thomas Blackwood directly.
"Hahaha..." Magnus Valorion laughed arrogantly, patting Henry Vander's round head, and said, "You said you forged a document but didn't pay attention to the details. Now you're exposed!"
"You, Magnus Valorion, you dog..." Henry Vander wanted to curse but received another heavy slap on the other side of his face.
Now Henry Vander had a palm print on both sides of his face.
"These two forged documents to create chaos in our Great Latium Imperium. There must be important figures from the Sami or Altai behind them. Now we should imprison these people and interrogate them strictly to find out the truth!"
"Magnus Valorion, my appointment letter was personally signed by Lucius Blackthorn. If you don't follow the imperial order, you are defying the higher-ups..." Henry Vander wanted to argue but received a heavy kick on the buttocks from Ethan Thompson.
"You spy scum, you're still stubborn even when facing death," Ethan Thompson ordered the policemen to take Henry Vander and his men away.
"Wait!" Magnus Valorion stopped everyone, walked slowly to Henry Vander, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I know your appointment letter is real, and I know you are not a spy. But sorry, this Green River Town, I, Magnus Valorion, am in charge!"
"You..." Henry Vander wanted to speak but was gagged with Magnus Valorion's sock.
Magnus Valorion then leaned close to Henry Vander's ear and added, "Lucius Blackthorn is dead. I killed him. I want your life too, and even Jesus can't save you. I said so!"
