The one knocking on the door was Aka's father, Biki Vasili, the governor of Haitang Town.
As someone who could raise a son like this, Biggie was certainly not a good person. When Wu Lai knocked on his office door, Biggie was having a great time with two maids in broad daylight. However, after asking who was knocking on the door, Biggie got rid of the two maids as quickly as possible.
As a veteran town governor, although Biqi had not made much progress, he was very well-informed and was naturally familiar with the name "Wooleglindos".
Of course, Biki was also very clear that although everyone was just a town governor, could Haitang Town be compared with Yanmarsh Town? Could he be compared with Wulai? Biki dressed up as quickly as possible and smiled seriously as he opened the door, even though he was already quite confused in his heart - Haitang Town and Yanmarsh Town had nothing to do with each other, so why did Wulai come to see him? The moment the door opened, Biki knew the answer -
"Archon Biki, your good son Akavasili has kidnapped my son." Biki was quite frightened by Wu Lai's stern face, especially the look in Wu Lai's eyes, which looked as if he wanted to eat him.
"Kidnapping? Oh, Governor Wu Lai, that's impossible? No, there must be a misunderstanding." Biki's first reaction to Wu Lai's words was disbelief. He thought to himself, how old are you? Even if you have a child, it's probably only two or three years old. Although Aka is not ambitious and likes to make trouble, he wouldn't kidnap a little kid.
"Take me to find your son immediately." Wu Lai said in a deep voice, "I am very anxious, and when I get anxious, my temper becomes very bad."
Biki was stunned and thought, is he threatening me?
Whether he is willing or not, or whether he believes it or not, Biki dare not ignore Wu Lai. With his level, although he does not expect to make friends with a new dignitary like Wu Lai, he should at least not offend him. Otherwise, with Wu Lai's popularity in the Supreme Conference, it would only take a word to remove him from his current position.
I hope this is just a misunderstanding. Biji thought to himself as he led Wu Lai and Ireth to the backyard of the official residence. Biji was well aware of A-Ka's misdeeds in Haitang Town. Sometimes when things got a little tricky, he thought about giving this disappointing son a lesson, but every time he just raised his hand high and slapped it lightly...
In the past, Biki was not as polite as he is now when disciplining his children. However, ever since Aka's two twin sisters were beaten up by him the year before last and chose to run away from home and their whereabouts are unknown, Biki was left with Aka at his side, and his heart softened completely.
Hearing that it was his father knocking at the door, Aka breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand quickly and asked his followers to open the door. He then put down his wine glass, straightened his clothes, and hurried out to greet his father.
When the gate opened, Aka was stunned, because it was not only his father who came, but also Iles and a young nobleman.
Wu Lai glanced towards the yard and saw David, whose hands and feet were tied tightly with hemp ropes and thrown into the corner of the yard.
"Iris, go see David." Wu Lai gritted his teeth and glanced at Aka who was walking towards him hesitantly.
When A-Ka’s eyes met Wu Lai’s, he couldn’t help but shrink his neck, and then he heard his father’s roar: “A-Ka! What’s going on?!”
Aka was so frightened that he even stopped walking. He hadn't seen his father with such a puffy look on his face for a long time.
Who is this young man? He looks younger than me. Why would my father bring him here? And why would Iris be here... A-Ka was stunned. His mind was in a mess, but he couldn't figure out a clue.
David was lying on the ground with blood stains on his clothes and his hair was stuck in clumps by the dried blood. How could Bikki not see what her son had done to others?
"August Wu Lai, there... there must be some misunderstanding here." Biki hesitated for a moment, turned around and said to Wu Lai with an apologetic smile.
"Misunderstanding?" Wu Lai smiled coldly, "Where did the misunderstanding come from?"
"Well... Governor Wu Lei... you..." Biki didn't know what to say.
Wu Lai glanced at him and walked quickly towards David, who had now stood up tremblingly with the support of Iris.
Biki quickly followed Wu Lai. He also wanted to see how badly David was injured. Seeing this, Aka subconsciously followed him. The atmosphere was so depressing, and it seemed that standing next to his father would always give him a little more sense of security.
"Father..." David called Wu Lai in a soft voice, but it was loud enough for Biki and Aka to hear clearly.
"I'm here, it's okay." Wu Lai nodded gently and took the hand that David extended. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was David's father, the tall figure in David's mind.
As two lines of hot tears slid down his cheeks, David said with guilt: "I'm sorry, father, I embarrassed you."
"No, you didn't bring shame to me. On the contrary, I admire your courage." Wu Lai sighed softly and patted the back of David's hand.
"August Governor Wu Lai..." Bi Ji wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. At this time, of course, he already understood the relationship between Wu Lai and David - the younger one was the adoptive father, and the older one was the adopted son. Although it was a bit exaggerated and even ridiculous, it was not an isolated case.
Wu Lai glanced back at A-Ka and asked, "Who did it?"
Aka was speechless because he read a strong sense of danger in Wu Lai's eyes.
Biggie swallowed subconsciously because he suddenly felt very thirsty.
"Who did it?!" Wu Lai frowned, his eyes flashed with coldness, and his voice suddenly increased several times. It was no longer a question, but a shout and a roar.
A-Ka was so frightened that he almost jumped up. What’s more, after this shock, he had some quick wits. He pointed at the two followers who “shrink” to the side and said, “They did it!”
Biki was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted immediately. He turned around and waved at Aka's two followers: "Come over here and be punished!"
The two followers' hearts skipped a beat, but since Biki had spoken, how could they dare to disobey the order? They quickly ran to Aka's side, shrinking their necks, not even daring to look at Wu Lai, their heads in a mess, thinking about what kind of physical pain they would suffer in a moment.
Biki was slightly relieved at this moment. Aka had two loyal civilian servants to help him take the blame. His courage was restored a little. He pretended to glare at the two followers, turned his face away, smiled and said to Wu Lai: "Syarch Wu Lai, you see, everyone is..."
"Stop talking." Wu Lai interrupted Biki coldly and raised his voice, "David, tell me who hurt you."
David's heart warmed up, and he immediately raised his arm and pointed at Aka: "Father, it was he who beat me. He even wanted to offend Iles, and his two men also attacked me, but he was the one who hurt me."
Biji's heart immediately skipped a beat. With his eyesight, how could he not see the relationship between Iris and Wu Lai? With a person like Wu Lai, could Iris still be an ordinary civilian like before? "Which hand did you use to hit him?" Wu Lai asked again.
"Reporting to father, I hit both hands." David was stunned for a moment, then he saw the encouragement in Wu Lai's eyes, how could he not understand.
Wu Lai shifted his gaze and looked at Biki: "Surveyor Biki, I know what you wanted to say just now. We are all town-level governors in Assyria, and we are all serving the Assyrian people. Although we are not familiar with each other, we should at least give each other face. Let's just treat this as a misunderstanding, right?"
Biji nodded quickly. This was exactly what he wanted to say.
"Then may I ask, if it was your son who was beaten like this by my son in my Salt Marsh Town, would you be angry?" Wu Lai asked.
Biki showed an embarrassment on her face. It was not easy to answer Wu Lai's question. If she told the truth, Wu Lai could take advantage of the topic to make a point. If she denied it, it would be too humiliating. Anyway, no matter how she answered, it would be inappropriate.
"Since Archon Biki has affirmed it with his silence, I will not be polite." Wu Lai smiled faintly and said, "It is the custom of my Glyndor family that if someone hits you on the left cheek, you must not only hit him back hard, but also make his right cheek swollen as well."
"What? You actually want to slap me on the right cheek! Who do you think you are? How dare you come to Haitang Town to cause trouble!" At first, Aka saw his father nodding and bowing to Wu Lai, and thought that Wu Lai was a big shot. But after listening to him just now, he realized that "he is just at the same level as his father." He was wondering why his father was so cowardly. Now, after hearing Wu Lai's remarks, how could he bear it?
"Okay." Wu Lai raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "I just like people like you who are arrogant and stupid. Beating them up not only has no psychological burden, but it also feels good..."
"No, Governor Wu Lai, everything can be discussed." Bi Ji hurriedly begged Wu Lai. He might not know Wu Lai's other achievements in Salt Marsh Town, but the fact that Wu Lai continuously cracked down on bandits and personally led the crowd to destroy a Fox and Wolf bandit group of hundreds of people had long been publicized by the Supreme Council as an example - all town-level official residences had issued notices.
So Biggie could be sure of one thing - Wu Lai was not only extremely powerful, but also ruthless.
"Negotiate? Humph, when his son is beaten, will the father negotiate with the murderer? How to negotiate? Bargain?" Wu Lai glanced at Biki jokingly and said.
David was beaten, and he was beaten for stopping Aka from teasing Iles. As David's adoptive father and Iles's owner, if he didn't get rid of this anger cleanly and quickly, not to mention how others would view this matter after it got out, Wu Lai himself would look down on himself.
"Archon Wulai, I am willing to pay one thousand gold coins for the medical expenses." Biggie gritted his teeth and said a number that made him feel painful.
"One thousand gold coins? Governor Biji, you are really generous." Wu Lai smiled slightly, "But everyone knows that I, Wu Lai Grindo, am not short of money..."
As soon as the word "money" came out of his mouth, Wu Lai moved. Bi Ji felt his eyes blurred, and then he heard A-Ka's screams, one after another...
Father... David's eyes suddenly became red again. He had served the Monte family loyally for so many years. Even if his godfather Rini was gone, the Monte family should have employed him out of their past friendship. At the very least, they should have given him a place to settle down. However, the opposite happened.

Fortunately, he met Wu Lai, who not only brought him back to the Green Building when others thought he was no longer useful to him, but also trusted him very much and now even fought with others for him.
How could David not be so grateful that he shed tears?
Elise was stunned. She had never thought that Wu Lai, who looked gentle and friendly, could beat people so quickly, accurately and cruelly.
Oh my God, I have to be good, otherwise, he can kill me with one punch... Elise couldn't help but mutter in her heart...
After leaving the official residence, Wu Lai carefully checked David's injuries and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although David looked miserable and had several cuts on his head, they were all the size of a fingernail. Although the blood was flowing ugly, his life was not in danger. At most he had a concussion. With proper treatment, he would recover after a few days of rest.
"It's nothing serious. Go back to the Green Building and rest in peace." Wu Lai patted David's shoulder. "Also, the hair near the wound must be cut off, otherwise the wound will get infected."
"Thank you, Dad." David said with sincere gratitude.
"Can you still walk?" Wu Lai asked.
"It's okay, just a little dizzy." David replied.
"Yeah." Wu Lai nodded and looked at Yi Leisi, "Let's go to your house."
Elise was stunned again...
Wu Lai originally did not want to meet Iles's parents, because although Iles was his woman, according to Assyrian custom, he had no connection with Iles's family.
But Wu Lai decided to make this trip because when he was beating Aka just now, the guy rolled on the ground with his head in his hands to avoid it, and explained that Iles's parents agreed to use Iles to pay the interest.
So, Woolley wanted to see what kind of man and woman this couple were like who were not satisfied with selling Elise once.
When Wu Lai pushed open the gate, Irene's parents and brothers were accusing each other in the yard, but when they saw Wu Lai and Irene behind him, they stopped immediately.
The first person to react was Irene's mother. With just a quick glance, she had guessed Wu Lai's identity.
"My most distinguished citizen, we are extremely humbled and honored by your arrival." Iles' mother stepped forward to greet him with a smile, while gesturing behind her to remind Iles' father and brothers.
Elise quietly took Wu Lai's arm. She did not do this to show off or prove anything, but she suddenly felt that her parents had become very strange, especially the flattering smiles on their faces, which made her very disgusted.
"Dear guest, please take a seat." Iris's father came over with a smile, and his sons quickly put away some things that might disgust Wu Lai, such as half-eaten bread and cheese...
"Are you two Irene's parents?" Wu Laimai stopped after entering the courtyard.
Elise's parents nodded quickly.
"I heard that you two owe Aka a lot of money?" Wu Lai asked again.
"Yes, yes, more than three hundred and twenty gold coins. This worries our whole family." Iris's mother's face immediately turned bitter, but it was just an act. She was secretly ecstatic in her heart, thinking that according to the rhythm of the question and answer, the young nobleman in front of her seemed to have time to show some expression.
It seems that Elise has found a good family, she thought to herself.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lai's next words were like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her whole body -
"Then continue to worry." Wu Lai said with a straight face, "I'm here just to tell you one thing, your problem has nothing to do with Iris."
Iris's family was stunned.
"Iles, let's go, it's time for us to go back to Assyria." Wu Lai put his arm around Iles' shoulders.
"Master, I..." Iris suddenly felt a little sad.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk in the car." Wu Lai put his mouth close to Yi Leisi's ear and whispered, "I understand that you want to help your family, but giving money directly is absolutely a bad idea."
Iris pursed her lips and nodded gently: "Master, I will listen to you."
At the same time, A-Ka, who was almost finished bandaging, looked at Biki who was sitting next to him with an aggrieved look on his face and complained loudly: “Father! How can you be so useless?”
After hearing his son's complaints, Biki felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
In this continent, whoever has a thick waist and a big fist can bully others without being bullied. Aka, don't you know this? Biki sighed and thought.
