Chapter 331 Crazy
The atmosphere in the restaurant was embarrassing. Ethan suddenly remembered his identity, stood up and said, "What are you talking about, Edward. How did you get in? Why didn't the butler communicate?"
"Okay, Sir Ethan, we don't need to act anymore, we might as well make it clear." Edward pulled out a chair and sat opposite Ethan. Such a move is undoubtedly a rude behavior for Ethan's current status.
Ethan's face suddenly became a little unnatural.
Edward pretended not to see it, and said indifferently: "At first we thought we could start a happy cooperation with Mr. Ethan, but you see, our previous cooperation went very smoothly. We helped you get rid of Sir York, and let you sit on the present seat smoothly. This position, and you give us a legal identity. Next $pig$pig$island$novel(www).(zhu)(zhu)().(), we should have cooperated more happily. Unfortunately, Ethan Mister can't bear it anymore, or can't control his ambition anymore."
"What are you trying to say!" Ethan said in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, our things are still ours." Edward took out a square towel and gently wiped his white hands: "And yours will soon become ours. We didn't intend to do this Do, I can only say that Mr. Ethan overestimated his ability and crossed our bottom line. Are you going to let Baron Maud intervene? Very good approach, but just as stupid as Baron York. Obviously you don’t have the power to control wolves, But you want to introduce wolves into the sheepfold. This kind of behavior is not only unwise, but also chills us. So we decided to terminate our cooperation with you and formally replace you as the master of this city."
"Don't even think about it!" Ethan clapped his hands and roared, "The city of Sur is mine, and no one can take it away!"
"Then let's wait and see. When the sun rises tomorrow, you will find that this city can no longer accommodate you." Edward put the square scarf on the table, smiled coldly, got up and left.
The pure white scarf was so dazzling that Ethan's eyes were bloodshot. His chest rose and fell sharply, and with a final roar, he picked up a delicate tunnel pistol and ran out of the restaurant. But seeing Edward greeted him with a sneer, Ethan raised his gun and shot without saying a word.
The roar of fire/guns echoed in the corridor, frightening the two servants who were carrying the dishes so that everything fell to the ground. Ethan was surprised to see Edward limp on the ground. He didn't expect it to be so easy, but in fact Edward had a bullet hole in his forehead, and blood was flowing.
But when he fell to the ground, Ethan almost thought he was dazzled, because Edward turned into the old face of the housekeeper. Even the wrinkled old face was shocked, as if he didn't believe that Ethan would shoot himself.
How is this going?
Screams rang out down the corridor,
Ethan looked up, and there was another Edward. Without even thinking about it, he raised his gun and hit the opponent's chest. However, after Edward fell down, he became a maid.
"The devil! The tricks of the devil!" Ethan roared, striding forward like an enraged bull. He had lost his mind and just wanted to kill that damned man at gunpoint.
Hearing the gunshots and screams from the castellan's mansion, Edward smiled slightly. He walked to a carriage, the door opened, and the gentle and beautiful Nilu came out and said, "What happened, why are there gunshots inside."
"Who knows?" Edward shrugged.
Nilu asked suspiciously, "Did you say anything to your father?"
"No, I just told him, let's go on vacation." Edward smiled and said, "Isn't this what you hoped for?"
Nilu smiled, and was startled suddenly: "Father?"
Ethan came out of the city lord's mansion with a gun in his hands, Nilu hurriedly got out of the car and went up to him, shouting, "Father, are you okay?"
Hearing Nilu's voice, Ethan looked, it was clearly Edward walking towards him with a sneer. This ubiquitous devil! Ethan yelled, "The devil must go to hell."
He aimed his gun at Nilu, and Nilu turned pale.
At the critical moment, Edward threw Nilu to the ground, and Ethan blasted the lantern in front of the carriage with one shot, causing debris to fly everywhere. Edward pressed Nilu and shouted: "Master Ethan is crazy, Mr. Ethan is crazy!"
Many servants who came out of the city lord's mansion also saw Ethan and his daughter raising their guns with their own eyes. In addition, Ethan killed the old housekeeper and several servants for no reason, and they also yelled after Edward. The gunshots and voices of the city lord's mansion finally aroused the attention of others. After a while, Mato came with a group of soldiers. Seeing Edward who was shrinking behind the carriage with Nelu in his arms, Matto couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
"I don't know, Sir Ethan must be crazy, he wanted to shoot Nell just now!" Edward said.
Nilu couldn't help crying: "Why, why did my father treat me like this."
Matto glanced at Edward suspiciously, but still led the people forward. Ethan really looked crazy, pointing a gun around and calling "the devil" all the time. Mato shouted: "Master Ethan, please put down your gun. There is no danger here, I am Mato."
Ethan looked at him, and in his eyes, everyone, including Matto, was Edward. He laughed loudly, pointed a gun at Mato and said, "You still want to lie to me? I won't fall for your tricks, everything here is mine! Mine!"
Seeing Ethan raising his gun, the city defense team was a little nervous. Some soldiers even raised their guns at Ethan, but Mato stopped him. Ethan suddenly pulled the trigger, and Mato and the others quickly spread out, but still hit a soldier's leg. In the chaos, gunshots rang out among the soldiers, and Mato saw the flames flickering. Ethan had been shot in the chest, and his clothes were slowly stained red with blood.
"What's going on here?" Matto hurried forward to support him, his mind was blank.
Nilu also screamed and ran over, supporting Ethan with Matto. Ethan still had that crazy smile on his face, and after his breathing became violent, he stopped suddenly. Matto touched Ethan's nostrils with trembling hands, and was shocked to find that there was no breathing there.
Ethan is dead, and Matto barely knows what to do with it. Edward patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Mr. Matt. We all know that Sir Ethan is crazy. As for just now, it was just a coincidence."
coincide? Matto looked at Edward, only then did he realize that there was no trace of panic in his eyes, and his calmness was scary.
Could it really be a coincidence? Matto didn't plan to pursue this answer, and didn't even think about whether it was his subordinates who fired the gun. All he knew was that the situation in Sur City had undergone drastic changes. Before this general trend, if he didn't make the right choice, then this corpse would probably be his end.
Since too many people had witnessed Ethan's madness, no one doubted this statement. As for those who have doubts, they dare not speak out casually. No one thought that the turmoil in the city of Suer would be so violent. In less than two months, the two successive city lords died and went crazy. In the history of Suer City, the city lord has never been changed so frequently.
Now that Ethan is dead, a new city lord will naturally have to take office. According to the empire's constitution, Nilu is fully qualified to inherit her father's property and title, and there are no shortage of female knights in the history of the empire. Even now, in the far south of the empire, there is a duchess known for her looks and military exploits. It's just that the city of Sur is a small city, and Nilu doesn't have the ability that a knight should have at all. After an afternoon of secret discussions among several clerks, they all elected Nilu's husband, who is also Edward, to be the temporary city lord. After the two have children and become adults, their sons will succeed them.
Of course, everyone knew that there would be a day when Edward would not be able to hand over his power. It's just such a long-term matter, no one wants to think about it, especially when the safes of several clerks hide a generous gift from Edward, they are even less willing to think about too many details at this time.
The city of Suer is really too far away from the center of the empire, so far away that the city lord changes, there is no need to submit a banquet to the empire, and it can be handled by the locality itself. What the empire cares about is whether the annual tax is paid on time. As for who will be the lord of the city, the emperor will not care. After all, the Balegon Empire has a vast territory, there are so many jazz lords, and there are constant battles among the nobles. If the emperor wants to intervene one by one, he will not even have time to sleep.
On this day, when Allen returned to Sur City with a team of Baimons, it happened to coincide with Edward's succession ceremony. The city of Sur was decorated with lights and festoons, and the salute was roaring. Allen was very curious to see how Edward took Isan down without bloodshed.
Two days later, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Allen shook his head and said, "It turns out that your hypnosis can still be used in this way."
Edward stood by the window with his hands behind his back and said, "My hypnosis can only be used on people who are excited. Like you back then, my ability will not work at all. It can only be said that Mr. Ethan is too easily excited. As soon as I heard that I was going to seize his property, I lost my cool."
It turned out that Edward used hypnotism on Ethan that day, and the Maritans were born with this ability. It caused all Ethan's eyes to see Edward, which caused chaos. Of course, Edward had already arranged for the incident of the gun to go off in the end. He transferred a soldier to mix with Mato's team, and ended Ethan's life at a critical moment, and he did things neatly.
"Then Nilu, how are you going to treat her?" Allen asked.
"Nilu..." Edward said, "I will take care of her. If...if she really falls in love with me, then I will accept her."
Throughout, Edward only talks about care and acceptance, but never mentions whether he loves her or not. Allen has no right to interfere, so I won't mention it in this regard. Edward smiled and said, "So, when are you going to accept the title, Knight Alan?"
