Bang bang bang…
Wine bottles, rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, and other debris were smashed against the gates of the city lord's mansion.
But there was no one in sight at the door.
Amidst the angry shouts, Baker, hidden in the shadows, also frowned.
How come there are no guards at all?
Even if Green's men are almost all dead, the other two Venerables haven't lost many men, have they?
"It seems Green has been abandoned."
Noah's voice came through the earpiece, leaving Beck puzzled: "What does this mean?"
As a Venerable One, Noah guessed that Boshad and Dale probably realized that even if the rebels won, the rules of Dream City wouldn't change much.
They can still make a living then, so they don't plan to invest any more.
But we certainly can't tell Baker that, since he still thinks he's the key figure in changing Dream City.
"Borsted and Dale probably felt they had no chance of winning and weren't planning to continue investing their efforts."
"When the rules are revised, they will not be in danger; they will just need to adapt a little."
Baker nodded: "Then let's get started."
Noah said with satisfaction, "The reform of Dream City depends on you."
As Beck gestured, figures in the shadows slowly emerged, and the gates of the city lord's mansion were blasted open in the chaos.
"rush!"
"Why can Green sit in the city lord's mansion and enjoy himself while we have to live in fear!"
"I've earned less in my entire life than Green does a fraction of what he earns! It's not fair!"
"Charge with us!"
"rush!"
Some people in the march started fanning the flames, causing the crowd, who were initially hesitant about entering the gate, to begin pushing forward.
Accompanying them were armed members of the resistance, including Baker.
"Whoever finds Green should clean up immediately. I'm going to find Green."
Baker made arrangements and moved toward Green's office.
Every now and then, explosions could be heard nearby, clearly indicating that his companions had begun to take action.
Baker quickened his pace involuntarily, taking a deep breath as he looked at the door in front of him.
The moment has finally arrived!
If we simply have Green step down and let Lord Noah succeed him as city lord, this corrupt city can be changed!
The boy, harboring a dream of changing the world, suddenly pushed open the door in front of him.
"Green!"
Seeing Baker burst in, Green's expression didn't show the panic he'd hoped to see.
“Green, it’s time for you to step down.” Baker’s hand was burning with flames, which slowly raised the temperature in the room.
Green paused for a moment, then sighed as he thought of the three kings who had never returned.
He didn't want to risk his life to test Baker's strength; ultimately, he would have to bear the blame for this turmoil.
"good."
"I also object..."
Green's answer stunned Baker; he hadn't seen the villain putting up a last-ditch resistance.
"I agree."
His fists were clenched tightly under the table, but Green could only keep his resentment to himself.
He took a deep breath: "I agree to relinquish the position of city lord and let your candidates decide who will succeed me."
It feels a bit unreal…
Beck was still somewhat dazed until Noah spoke.
The anticipated great battle, the anticipated declaration of ideals, and other scenes did not appear.
Only Green decisively conceded defeat, and Noah confirmed it.
Has this turmoil come to an end?
When Baker stepped out of the room, the vast city lord's mansion was no longer filled with the parade; he had been informed that the city lord needed to replace the parade members.
Meanwhile, the city lord's mansion was not deserted, as rebels moved in one after another.
"Well done."
One of them patted Baker on the shoulder, and Baker humbly replied, "Thanks to you for stopping the others."
"Yeah."
The senior gave him a deep look.
Those who joined the resistance first were actually the Venerable One's trusted confidants.
Their reason for joining was certainly not to overturn the rules, but simply for greater benefits.
But Baker and his ilk truly believed they represented public opinion and justice.
As the number of figures gradually increased, Noah naturally appeared here as well.
"Lord Noah, have we succeeded?"
Noah nodded and said, "Of course, we won, and the position of city lord will soon be in our hands."
Baker quickly asked, "When will the new regulations for Dream City be released?"
“Well,” Noah pondered, “you know, the rules of Dream City have been in place for many years and are deeply ingrained in people’s minds, so we have to change them slowly.”
"Should things change gradually...?"
"Don't worry, we've already overcome the most difficult part. Now it's just a matter of being slowly boiled like a frog in water."
Noah said with concern, "You've been working hard for many days, go back and get some rest."
Baker nodded slowly and walked outside.
The night wind blew by, and Baker stared blankly at his surroundings.
Where can he go?
Rebel base?
Now that he has taken over the city lord's mansion, is there any need for him to return to that underground base?
As darkness fell, he had no idea where he was going.
“Noah, you really know how to fool people.” Boshard suddenly appeared.
Dale said leisurely, "These rebels... should now be called destabilizing factors. How do you plan to deal with them?"
"We naturally have ways to deal with them."
Noah turned around, a smile creeping onto his face: "Before that, let's talk about how much benefit you two are willing to give up."
“Let?” Dale gave him a deep look. “Let’s wait until the other two arrive before we talk about it.”
"Remember to let me know." Boshard also added meaningfully, "I'd like to see it in person too."
Noah frowned slightly: "What good will it do you to drag this out for so little time?"
"That's hard to say."
As the two disappeared, Noah thought of Qin Sheng.
Could it be that Qin Sheng is really going to help them?
I shook my head. That's impossible.
Qin Sheng had provided them with a lot of intelligence these past few days; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to occupy the city lord's mansion so quickly.
"Let's notify them first; they should be here soon."
Soon, both Boshard and Dale received the message: meet in the city lord's mansion conference room at noon the next day.
The other two Venerable Ones will also be present at that time.
The two immediately relayed the message to Qin Sheng, who assured them that he would definitely attend.
Sure enough, the person came out in the end; why bother looking for them?
Putting away his phone, Qin Sheng looked at the figure waiting quietly for him.
"What did you just say?"
Lilith raised her head, her clothes unusually formal.
She didn't think that a little bit of skin could attract Qin Sheng, and might even displease him, so she was serious this time.
After much deliberation, Lilith realized that she couldn't find any leverage to make a deal with Qin Sheng.
The only thing that might pique Qin Sheng's interest is her own absurd origins.
Taking a deep breath, Lilith revealed her secret.
"I am not human, but a child born of a human and a strange beast."
