who?
Who is the upright and just official?
Before Li Yu could react, the butler had already started sobbing uncontrollably, crying so heartbrokenly that he kept muttering:
"You've finally rid us of this scourge! You've saved our town of Bada! Waaaaah..."
Before he could finish speaking, the butler hurriedly turned around, pointed anxiously at the large house, and shouted at the top of his lungs to the crowd:
"This is the house of that damned town mayor! Everyone, hurry up and ransack the place!"
"The mayor's family is inside; we absolutely cannot let them escape!"
At this moment, the butler's previously excited expression suddenly turned into one of righteous indignation. He waved his arms high and roared indignantly:
"The town mayor has committed countless evil deeds; it is an outrage against humanity!"
"Since God has given me an opportunity to help everyone, I will never let it go."
As the butler spoke, he eagerly stepped forward to lead the way, worried that Li Yu might not be familiar with the room's layout:
"Come with me! I know where the mayor's good stuff is!"
"Everyone, come with me inside to settle the accounts."
Not to mention Li Yu, even the usually composed Ma Yuanbai was stunned in place.
He had met countless people in his life who were good at flattering and changing their tune with the wind, but he had never seen anyone as fickle as the butler. The contrast was too great.
After a brief moment of shock, Ma Yuanbai quickly regained his composure and decisively issued the order:
"Confiscate their property!"
Upon hearing the order, the refugees immediately rushed into the house and quickly turned it upside down.
The raid was carried out smoothly and efficiently, with a clear division of labor. Everything, useful and useless, was packed up and taken away, leaving Li Yu dumbfounded.
Is this still the same group of refugees he led? How did they suddenly become like bandits?
It seems that Ma Yuanbai had even rehearsed the raid on the house with everyone.
Seeing that Li Yu and his group had successfully raided the house, and with the constant eye signals from his assistant, the butler finally mustered up the courage to walk up to Li Yu.
At this moment, the fawning expression on his face was gone, replaced by a respectful and serious demeanor.
He knew this was a crucial trump card that could save both himself and his assistant.
The butler first bowed deeply to Li Yu, then said in a sincere yet serious tone:
"Lord Li Yu, please forgive my previous act of aiding and abetting evil."
"Now I am willing to atone for my crimes by taking you to the secret basement where the mayor hides weapons and equipment, in order to make up for my previous mistakes."
"The basement." Li Yu was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
"Oh? There are places like this?"
"What happened before is in the past, now lead the way."
"Yes." After receiving permission, the butler did not dare to delay in the slightest and turned to lead Li Yu and the others toward the location of the basement.
The refugees continued ransacking the house, while Li Yu and the others followed the steward to the storage room at the back of the house.
The room was filled with all sorts of old and broken furniture and discarded tools, making it look very messy.
The butler walked up to a dilapidated cabinet and suddenly stopped.
He lifted it forcefully, and sure enough, the floorboards were lifted up, revealing a downward stone staircase passage.
Soon, the group followed the passage to a hidden basement.
The butler ignored the basement doors and instead pointed to a small, conspicuous stone block at the entrance, explaining:
"This is the mayor's secret room, but there's still one more door."
As he spoke, the butler stepped forward and turned the stone block, then groped around on the wall of the storage room and pressed down an inconspicuous brick.
The stone wall next to them suddenly rotated and opened slowly, revealing another password door inside the hidden door.
"Lord Li Yu, this is it," the steward said.
Seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help but smile: "This town mayor is quite cautious."
Li Yu didn't even need Ma Yuanbai to call someone to open the door; she simply walked up herself.
He took a deep breath, his internal energy swirled rapidly, and a powerful force surged into his hands.
He slightly raised his hand and placed it on the keypad.
Then he exerted force and pushed hard.
With a creaking and twisting sound, the originally sturdy steel combination lock door began to gradually twist and deform.
Li Yu, who doesn't possess strength-based superpowers, actually managed to destroy the coded door using only his physical strength.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu kicked hard at the already shaky keypad door.
With a loud "bang," the keypad door collapsed to the ground.
Everyone eagerly looked inside, and the sight before them stunned them all.
It was filled with all sorts of firearms and ammunition.
This basement was not only well hidden, but also quite large, clearly indicating that the mayor had put a lot of thought into this day.
Upon closer inspection, it even has all kinds of defensive equipment, making it practically a small armory.
"This town mayor really has a lot of good stuff hidden away," Ma Yuanbai exclaimed in surprise.
"Where did he get so many weapons and equipment?"
Even he hadn't expected that in Zhongzhou, where gun control was so strict, the town mayor would have a secret base that could be described as a small armory, which was truly unbelievable.
The butler then explained in a low voice:
"Actually, these weapons and equipment were all secretly purchased by the town mayor from outside."
"The mayor originally intended to collect these weapons and equipment to build a private army."
"However, because of the repeated illegal purchases of weapons, the law enforcement team in Zhongzhou seems to have become aware of it, so he was forced to temporarily stop the plan."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuanbai couldn't help but sneer:
"This town mayor has quite the ambition to risk his life to establish a private army in Zhongzhou!"
The assistant and the butler exchanged a glance; no matter how ambitious they were, it was all for naught now.
Li Yu, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly as he looked at the abundance of weapons and equipment.
'This is really good stuff!'
Ma Yuanbai immediately turned around and gave an order to the refugees behind him:
"Go back and get men immediately to seize all these weapons and equipment, leaving nothing behind!"
"Yes." The refugee immediately ran out.
Before long, many refugees rushed over and carried the weapons and ammunition outside.
Seeing the butler and assistant standing to the side, still looking timid and hesitant, Li Yu simply spoke directly to them:
"Don't worry, you have done a great job this time, and you are safe now."
The two were relieved to hear Li Yu personally guarantee their safety.
After all, their survival depended entirely on Li Yu's word.
Moreover, eliminating people once they are no longer of use is a common practice in this small town, so they can't help but be afraid.
After Li Yu finished speaking, she walked directly to the place where the helmets and bulletproof vests were placed.
He stepped forward, picked up the bulletproof helmet, and examined it carefully.
He found that the equipment here was of very high quality, no worse than that in Qingcheng.
"This town mayor is really going all out," Li Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As he spoke, he deftly put on his helmet.
A miraculous thing happened: the helmet gradually became invisible and disappeared.
