Chapter-178: Pay to redeem your son
"Guard Jane, let them pay to redeem this fat man. It's up to you." Guard Simon's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted.
"Just now this fat guy extorted 10,200 coins from us. Since he loves money so much, then pay him back. If you want to redeem him, then pay ten times as much. We are not after money. We just want to vent our anger."
He is imitating Wendy Lark's behavior, solving everything with money. Captain Herald's expression kept changing. Paying the ransom was tantamount to admitting defeat. His prestige was almost destroyed.
How could he lead the troops? Wendy Lark said calmly, "If you don't receive the money within an hour, break his other leg. Oh, no, break the third leg in the middle as well. Let him be a cripple for the rest of his life."
The fat man was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and he screamed, "Dad, save me, quickly give me money to redeem me, I don't want to be a useless person, Dad, Dad."
Captain Herald was going crazy because his son was behaving in a very ugly manner and Miss Jordan was watching him covetously. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and asked his men to go to the mansion to fetch 100,000 coins of silver.
One hand hands over the money, the other hand hands over the person. Guard Simon swaggered down with the fat man in his arms and handed over the matter personally. "Captain Herald, I'm no longer angry. I don't plan to pursue this any further. Let's just stop here. What do you think?"
Captain Herald wanted to bite him to death, but when he raised his head and glanced at the second floor, there was vigilance in his eyes. There was a person there who made him feel threatened like never before.
But, that person didn't even show his face. The unknown is the most terrifying thing. And that person seems to have teamed up with Miss Jordan! "OK..." The more straightforward the statement, the less believable it is. Guard Simon was not worried.
Instead, he looked at him with sympathy. "My boss said that if you want revenge, she welcomes you at any time. She is just looking for someone to practice her skills out of boredom. For example, she wants to overthrow a city or make a garrison reorganize."
Those who offend Miss Wendy Lark usually don't have a good ending.
Captain Herald: ...Speechless… (Is this human language? What nonsense is he talking about? Let him be quiet!!) He thought in his heart.
Captain Herald led his men to retreat. Wendy Lark tapped the table and said, "Please ask other guests to move out. Please clear out the shopkeeper and the waiter. We will take over this inn temporarily. From this moment on, no one is allowed to come in or out without my permission."
"Yes…" The guards all answered in at the same time.
"Send a few people to keep an eye on the Herald family and report any movement to me."
"The remaining people will be divided into three groups, taking turns on duty, with each shift lasting four hours."
"Go to the kitchen and see if there are enough ingredients. If not, have someone bring some in."
"Notify the people outside the city and be ready to respond at any time." Orders were issued one after another. It was a total wartime mobilization. They took action one by one, truly enforcing orders and showing great action efficiency.
Jordan Clara was stunned. Although the figure was small, the aura of the commander was so strong that he was not inferior to those veteran generals.
Wendy Lark turned her head and smiled at her, "Miss Jordan, your female army is pretty good, how about lending it to me for a few days?" Is this to make her express her opinion? Jordan Clara pursed his lips, "What's in it for me?"
Wendy Lark likes to negotiate terms directly. "Each of you will receive ten coins. As for you, if the Jordan family is defeated one day, I will protect your life."
Jordan Clara: ...Speechless… (How could this person talk like that? Something happened to the Jordan family. No, that's not right... Was he hinting at something to her?) Unconsciously, she over thought Wendy's words and said.
"Protect me? Just you…? Can you believe what you say?"
"Believe it or not..." Wendy Lark was very arrogant. Jordan Clara's mind raced, he gritted his teeth, and took the gamble.
"I can only assign fifty people to you."
"Enough." What Wendy Lark wanted was a gesture. The eldest daughter of the Jordan family was on her side. No matter what, Jordan Clara was the eldest daughter of the Jordan family and had an army of women, which meant that she was relied upon.
"Just let them live here. Food and lodging are provided." She generously gave him a gift, "As a reward, I'll give it to you. Take it home and do something with it." Jordan Clara took a closer look and saw that it was a confession written by Fatty He.
She felt very complicated. "Then you have no leverage over the Herald family. Captain Herald is an unruly person who may not even obey the King's orders." Wendy Lark looked at her deeply, put in eye drops and distanced herself from the matter and she seemed to be trying quite hard.
She smiled and took out a stack of confessions, all of which were signed and sealed by Fatty He. "Whether or not to spread it out for the whole world to see depends on Mr. Herald's performance next.
Don't worry, I will give priority to cooperating with you in doing things and will not rush to send it out." She bet a spicy strip that Captain Herald would never give up.
Jordan Clara: ...Speechless… (This gloating suggestion is damn tempting.) She thought in her heart.
