Chapter 602: Interrogation of City Lord Suleiman, Oscar Business Company Confiscated and Exterminate
Kashin took Crow to drink and rest. They walked into the guest room, which was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
Kashin sat at the table, looking at the wine glasses on the table, and the fatigue in his heart was slightly relieved. He and Crow drank and talked about past experiences...
Elsewhere, Stephen Lee began to busily issue tasks, and the entire space seemed to be injected with an intense vitality.
Stephen Lee was well aware of the urgency of time and he directed all matters in an orderly manner.
The magician brought Kashin's letter to the palace to explain the situation, which was an extremely important task. The letter carried the current situation of Kent City, their action plan, and their expectations for support from the palace.
The magician set out with a mission, knowing full well that his actions were related to the future of the entire city of Kent. Everything was proceeding intensively, like a sophisticated machine starting to run.
After receiving the news, Master Mordor took action against Oscar Merchants without hesitation.
His eyes were full of determination and courage. The local mercenary association obeyed the command and quickly gathered their forces to march towards Oscar Manor.
Once a place full of luxury and power, it was now facing a huge disaster. Mercenaries poured into the manor like a tide, and the battle broke out instantly.
Under the powerful attack of the magician, the knights who guarded the palace, although brave, found it difficult to resist.
Their resistance seemed so fragile under the light of magic that they were wiped out immediately. The whole family in the manor was controlled by the mercenaries, their faces were full of fear and despair, and their former glory and wealth turned into nothing at this moment.
Afterwards, all the businesses, family villas, and branch families in the city were taken over.
This was a large-scale operation, like a huge net cast across the entire city. The Oscar family's influence was extensive, involving every corner of the city.
However, in the face of this powerful action force, they were powerless to fight back. As a result, the number of family members alone reached more than 1,400. This huge number was once a symbol of the family's prosperity, but now it has become the target of sanctions.
No matter how big the family is, in the face of power and justice, it is still a single order to exterminate the whole family and confiscate the property. Once certain bottom lines are violated, no matter how big the family is, it cannot escape the fate of destruction.
Of course, the Oscar family was handed over to the new city lord for careful handling. For the new city lord, the crime of "colluding with the church" was enough to bring ruin to the family.
Subsequently, the family's 454 merchant ships were declared confiscated. These merchant ships once sailed on the seas and brought the family a huge amount of wealth. Now, they became the objects of confiscation.
The situation at the port was equally tense, with more than 300 merchant ships being seized on the spot and all crew members being ordered to go ashore. They had no choice but to leave their ships under the surveillance of mercenaries.
The rest of the merchant ships would be controlled as soon as they entered the port. This series of actions caused the order of the port to fall into chaos, but with the magician's swift and decisive means, the situation was quickly stabilized.
The so-called City Lord's Mansion was under attack. The knight guards of the City Lord's Mansion were once a symbol of the City Lord's authority. They were dressed in heavy armor, holding sharp weapons, and vowed to defend the safety of the City Lord's Mansion.
However, facing the powerful attack force, their resistance did not last long. Before long, they were forced to surrender. Under the threat of force, they had no choice but to lay down their weapons and were taken to the dungeon of the Mercenary Association.
The city lord's family of more than 30 people were also captured. They once had supreme power in Kent City, but now they have become prisoners and can only wait for an unknown fate.
Late at night, the new city lord brought two thousand imperial guards and arrived at Kent City through the teleportation array. The teleportation array flashed with mysterious light, as if it was a passage connecting two worlds.
In order to properly govern this place, the palace carefully considered and sent a court magician as the city lord. In this world, magicians have a special status and ability, and their wisdom and magic power can better deal with various complex situations in the city.
This decision reflects the palace's emphasis and cautious attitude towards the governance of Kent City.
For ordinary people, they don’t understand the intricacies involved and cannot manage a complex port city.
However, the palace knows that only magicians can rule here to ensure that the port is no longer a haven of filth.
The two thousand imperial guards acted quickly and replaced all the soldiers guarding the city. Faced with this sudden change, the soldiers guarding the city could only accept the order helplessly.
They were immediately announced to be disbanded and return to the countryside, which was a huge change for them. If they needed to expand their forces, these soldiers guarding the city would need to be re-evaluated.
The military, politics, and business layout have undergone a major reshuffle, and a sudden overnight raid completed the power transition, leaving the lower-level businessmen and residents unaware of it.
The new city lord started working early the next morning to deal with Oscar's family's wealth. As for the population, they would be executed on a chosen day after their identities were verified. This cancer was eradicated.
Kashin woke up and became energetic again. After washing up, he went to the mercenary tavern to have some breakfast, then went into the underground cell and promoted Suleiman...
The two sides met in a slightly cleaner cell. Their family was imprisoned yesterday, and the Mercenary Association was relatively polite and did not make things difficult for them, so the city lord was still dressed elegantly at this moment.
Seeing Kashin wearing viscount's clothes, Suleiman looked defiant. This nobleman, who was about fifty years old, obviously did not take Kashin seriously.
Kashin didn't care and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the City Lord, do you know why the magician captured you this time?"
"I am innocent and will be released soon. You are not qualified to judge me!"
"Haha! Your Excellency the City Lord is very arrogant. He has been high and mighty for a long time, right? You don't know what the consequences will be when your death is imminent? Haha, it seems that it is not the time for interrogation yet. The City Lord needs to adapt..."
Kashin closed his notebook, politely stood up and said goodbye without saying anything else. Suleiman didn't even raise his eyelids, full of arrogance.
Less than three minutes after Kashin walked out of the cell, four burly men rushed in and started beating him. After five minutes of beating, the city lord was left with a black eye and a swollen face.
They also forced me to take off my luxurious clothes and take a cold shower under the supervision of four big men. It was totally undignified. After changing into prison uniforms, I was taken to a dark and damp cell.
In the afternoon, Kashin interrogated him again. This time, Suleiman was taken to a place full of torture instruments. Two burly men were arranged to obey his orders and prepare for the torture.
After a beating and humiliation in the morning, Suleiman's arrogance was indeed cured. Kashin was very satisfied and said with a smile:
"The city lord is indeed very studious and progressive. He has been studying for the entire afternoon and has indeed become very polite! I am really happy for the city lord. However, you see, this is also a study room. If the city lord does not cooperate, he will enter the next round of study."
"Sir, please save me, I really can't stand this life!"
"You accepted bribes and let the Dark Priests enter the country, causing the tragic deaths of countless subjects and heavy losses to the country. Have you ever thought about this? Someone will naturally come after you for this, so don't be lucky and confess your crimes honestly. The Dark Priests have confessed how much gold coins you have embezzled. I am just checking the accounts and will not explain clearly. You will enter the next round of cruel learning..."
Kashin stared at Suleiman, and he trembled with fear...
