Chapter 1027: If You Don’t Mind, I’ll Stay With You
"The City Lord, whose surname is Yang and first name is Everest Butler, had a wife named Samantha Gibbs. We don’t know their origins, as they appeared here many years ago as if they were immortals, just passing through."
"At that time, a gang of thieves occupied Greown City, extorting and oppressing the civilians. When the City Lord and his wife were passing by, they saw the thieves beating civilians in the streets. Out of justice, they intervened, which drew a mob attack by the thieves. The couple fought back, killing the leader of the thieves and his followers."
"They were originally worried that after the death of these thieves, someone might retaliate against the civilians of Greown City, so they decided to stay, and one stay turned into many years."
"They felt pity for our hardships and established new laws, collecting very little in taxes, just enough to maintain the operations of the City Lord’s Mansion. They didn’t collect anything else."
"The years they were here were the best ones we’ve had. We hoped those times would continue, but unfortunately, a Wolf Demon came and killed the City Lord. The lady, unwilling to live alone, committed suicide to follow her husband."
"They originally had the chance to flee, but when the Wolf Demon threatened the City Lord that if he ran, it would kill all the people in the city, he gave up the idea of escaping and died here."
The elder’s eyes teared up, "It was our fault; if it wasn’t for us, the couple wouldn’t have died..."
Carson Flores was silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand, "I appreciate the sentiment. Let them go."
The elder looked at Carson Flores, hesitated to speak, but finally bowed respectfully, turned, and led everyone away.
