Chapter 557 Hijacking
Zane led a group of militia brothers from Tata Village and quickly ran into the front hall of the Lord's Mansion. The front hall door was now open.
The scene inside surprised them.
A big man with a strong physique, who seemed to be the director of the Department of Public Security, was using his arms as thick as an ordinary person's thigh to tightly wrap around a person's neck, and was controlled by him The person in question was none other than Billaire McReynolds, the captain of the police detachment who brought them to the Lord's Mansion for security tasks.
McReynolds was in a bad situation at this time. He was like a little chicken being held to his chest by Ruth Hayden, who was two heads taller than him. His hands were holding him tightly. The strong arms holding his neck were trying hard to pry the arms off his neck, but Ruth Hayden's arms remained motionless, as if they were made of cast steel. Veins bulged in McReynolds' temples, obviously from the effort of feeding, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
The guards of the Lord's Mansion tightly surrounded Ruth Hayden and other officials, nervously guarding the surroundings. The police who rushed in earlier than the militiamen stared at this incredible scene with their mouths open.
If there was only one Ruth Hayden, then he might be a rebel lurking in the city, but...looking at the scene in front of him...he carefully observed Sir Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, and Philip, the old butler of the Lord's Mansion, and the others were standing next to Ruth Hayden. There was no look of panic on their faces. Instead, they looked at the others with determination.
Director Ford and Director Philip...rebellion? How is that possible!
Although Zane does not live in Lake Town, he has heard of these two people. In every aspect, these two people should be the people that Earl Grayman relies on and trusts the most. It is impossible to rebel no matter what.
As for other officials, their reaction was no better than that of the police and militia, and they were also very shocked by what was happening around them.
"Let Mr. McReynolds go! You are insurrection."
Several police officers shouted at their director of the Department of Public Safety.
Hearing the shouts of his companions, Lucas, who was standing in the police line, frowned tightly. He could tell that these police officers who spoke out were all McReynolds' most popular policemen. Trust people. However, what they were facing now was Lord Ruth Hayden, the leader of all the police. What's more, the director of the Government Affairs Council and the steward of the Lord's Mansion seemed to be on Lord Hayden's side.
Ruth Hayden's eyes were wide and round, and the former guard captain's gaze was quite intimidating.
"Everyone listen!" he shouted. The hall of the Lord's Mansion was designed to have an echo effect, and Ruth Hayden's voice sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
"Bulgan Wallen and Bilaire McReynolds are the rebels."
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Bilaire McReynolds was already blushing because he was tied around the neck. , but still tried to shout out Richie, "Hurry up and save me from this traitor."
The militiamen were at a loss, but nearly half of the police raised their guns and pointed them at Ruth ·Hayden - They also received guns, but the guards of the Lord's Palace who protected Ruth Hayden immediately raised their guns and confronted the police.
"Put down your guns!"
Russ Hayden's eyes widened when he saw this, and he tightened his grip on McReynolds's arm, and McReynolds He grinned in pain and quickly said to his policeman: "Put down the gun, put down the gun!"
The policemen who raised their guns looked at each other and silently put their weapons down.
"Controller Ford? What's going on?"
The officials surrounded by the guards also calmed down from the initial panic. Cecil, Hansel, Bo Na and others looked at Old Ford, wanting to find an answer.
"Everyone, listen to me!" Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, cleared his throat heavily and spoke.
Except for the alert guards, everyone in the hall turned their attention to him. "We just received news from the lord - yes, that's right, our lord, Count Paul Grayman, is still alive - he was indeed attacked by traitors, and that group of traitors included Burgan and Billai The Warren family and the McReynolds family from which you are born!”
“Ouch——!”
A surprised voice sounded in the hall.
Sissel reacted: "In other words, the rebels in Burgan's mouth are themselves!"
"Yes!" Butler Philip confirmed.
Being controlled, Bilaire McReynolds was sweating profusely and feeling frightened and panicked.
He couldn't figure out how old Ford and Philip got the news? The communication channels between the inside and outside of Huxin Town should have been cut off. Could it be that they have telepathy?
I came to see these "hostages", but I didn't expect that I became a hostage instead.
"Militia brothers! Police brothers!"
Russ Hayden shouted at them: "Wake up from the lies of these traitors in time. Burgan took advantage of When the garrison in Lake Center Town was out, they used their authority to deceive the militiamen who came for training. Bile also deceived his police subordinates, and perhaps there were people from other departments who spread the news of the lord's assassination - although this It’s not entirely false – he plunged the entire city into chaos, took the opportunity to take control of the situation, and elected his own puppet lord!”
When he said the last sentence, he glared at Yurio, who was still sitting in the lord's seat.
The acting lord in this matter no longer had the same grace as before, and his whole body was shaking like chaff. Two guards held his shoulders on the left and right.
"It's none of my business! I...I really don't know that Bulgan is a rebel!"
Yurio, who was sweating profusely, howled miserably. He stood up, his voice echoing through the hall, but no one paid him any attention.
"Hahahaha!" Billaire McReynolds laughed loudly, although everyone could hear his stern expression.
"It's too late! It's too late! You know it's too late. The tyrant Paul Grayman is finished! In fact, we have already won more than half of the victory. If you can understand the situation clearly, surrendering as soon as possible is the right thing to do. The choice.”
Ruth hit him hard in the stomach, and Bilaire shriveled like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Don't listen to the traitor's nonsense. Lord Graiman is safe and sound. The 8th Infantry Battalion has protected him."
Old Ford refuted righteously, although this was He guessed.
"Furthermore, Chief of Staff Schroeder identified the traitor's plot in time and left the city overnight to find reinforcements. Now he has led an army back. This is why Burgan left in a hurry just now. However, The militiamen under him are simply unable to fight against Schroeder's regular army - I respect the militia very much, but the fact is that everyone's role positioning and training investment are different."
Old Ford's last words were directed at Zane and other militiamen.
