I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3983 Extension
Of course, the fight here does not mean to fight Linton directly. It has been said that the other party now controls the entire parliamentary guard, so how can they fight? The fight here, of course, still needs to talk to Linton first.

"My Lord, it's not that we don't want to pay the ransom." As it was a matter of life and death, the councillors had no choice but to talk to Linton. "It's mainly because the time is too short. We really don't have enough time. I promise that as long as you give us a little more time, we will be able to deliver the ransom."

"Oh? According to you, this matter should be blamed on me?" Linton asked with a smile.

"Of course not." The councillor said quickly. Of course, he didn't dare to blame Linton. "But Lord, the situation of each family is a little different. For example, our family lives far away. It takes longer to collect the treasures at home and send them here than those who live nearby. Don't you think this is too unfair to us? It's not that we don't want to pay, but we suffer just because we live far away. Don't you think this is unfair?"

"Oh?" Linton smiled, and then said, "It seems that what you said does make sense."

This surprised everyone, because they didn't expect Linton to agree with it. After all, this explanation seemed far-fetched to everyone.

"So according to you, I should give you some more time?" Linton asked, "But this doesn't seem fair. How do they calculate it?"

Linton pointed at the other congressmen next to him, then thought for a moment and said, "But what you said does make some sense. How about this? I'll give you one last hour so that no one can say anything. But this is also the last hour, there will be no second chance to extend it."

Hearing that Linton actually agreed to extend their time, the congressmen who thought their time was up were overjoyed. Of course, they immediately began nodding their heads and even thought that Linton was being very merciful.

Time was limited, so this group of people quickly started to contact each other. They had originally planned to hide something, but now there was no point in hiding. People were about to die, and this was the last chance.

When Linton finished speaking, some members of parliament did not react at first. Yes, here I am referring specifically to those members of parliament in the upper half of the list.

They thought they had already passed the test, and when they heard Linton say to give the other congressmen some more time, their first reaction was that although Linton looked cruel, was he actually quite easy to talk to?
However, after a short while, they suddenly realized. If Linton had not extended the time, wouldn't they have passed safely? However, the situation is different now. If these councillors who were originally in the lower half can now hand in more things, then will the rankings have to be re-arranged?

This meant that their originally assured safety was now uncertain. Those guys in the lower half would have to fight tooth and nail to get themselves to a safe location. This also meant that they were in danger again.

At this moment, they seemed to suddenly understand what Linton meant.

Yes, their only choice now is to pay more like the people who are now contacting the outside world. Otherwise, the result of waiting here is that they will be caught up by this group of people, and then of course they will be liquidated by Linton.

My goodness, this is equivalent to asking them to pay the second wave of ransom directly. Is this even possible?

If you think about it carefully, this Linton is not merciful at all. He is simply a devil. How can he manipulate people's hearts like this?
No, they are the devils, okay? How can a human being do something more devilish than them?

At this time, everyone looked at Linton's smiling face, and they seemed to suddenly realize why these soldiers of the Parliament Guards listened to this human. Now even they felt that this was a demon who was more evil than them.

But... even if they knew, what could they do? Discuss with Linton and say no to extending the deadline? Do you think Linton would listen?
This was their plan from the beginning. They knew from the beginning that it was impossible for them to hand over all their property. Who would do that? They were just gambling from the beginning, betting on how much other families paid and whether they could pay the median.

This situation is a bit like a secret bid. You can't just quote a price that will bankrupt you.

But what does Linton mean now? Showing the list to everyone directly is equivalent to making the secret bid amount public. Then their only choice is to pay with all their strength.

All I can say is that even if you understand all of Linton's plans, there's nothing you can do, unless you bet that Linton won't dare to take action, just like those fools who are being chopped next to him.

Because after what happened just now, they themselves have already discovered that it is impossible for everyone to unite and fight against Linton. Everyone is treating others as fools and wants others to take the lead. If they take the lead, they will suffer the same fate as those people next to them.

What else can they do if they don't come forward? They can only pay their money desperately, this is the result they can't escape.

After thinking about this, these congressmen could only swallow their anger and accept the result.

However, these people had not yet realized another big problem, because the pit that Linton had dug for them was obviously more than just this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait! This Lord."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, and were shocked to find that the person who spoke was Entema.

In the past, Linton had always ignored such words, and would just kill them. But this time, the situation seemed different, because after the other party shouted "wait", Linton actually waved his hand to stop the guards besieging them.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Linton asked Entema with a smile. It can be said that this guy has some brains. Linton was waiting for him to speak.

"My Lord, since you said to extend the payment, that means... now is not the time to settle the bill, right? In that case, we cannot be considered to have completely failed to pay... right?" Entma said quickly.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, but when they thought about it, it seemed to be true.

Just now, because the time was up, these people didn't submit, so of course they didn't submit. But now, Linton said to extend it, so even if these people didn't submit now, it's not the final result, right? If they submit within this extended hour, it seems that it does count.

"It seems... that's true." Linton seemed to think about it seriously, then nodded, "Okay, since I said so, let's settle the score when the time comes."
