Chapter 42: Viscount, You Are Accused

When the unconscious [Law Enforcement Court] personnel were rescued to the shore by the remaining clockwork mechanisms, and passers-by discovered them and called the security team, the Fontaine executives received the news that the operation had completely failed.

This battle completely confused the nobles. How could they lose? How could they lose?!

Why? What do those peasants have?

Not to mention that most of the main forces of the Thorn Rose Society were protecting ordinary people who had moved to the vicinity of Baisong Town. Even if all the forces of the Thorn Rose Society were deployed, it would be impossible for them to confront the [Law Enforcement Court] head-on!

Many nobles were extremely angry and felt that it must have something to do with Rogers and other rubbish, which had wasted their great advantage.

Moreover, it was difficult to report this matter. The key point was that no one believed it. Who would think that those poor people living in the Gray River had the strength to confront the [Law Enforcement Court] head-on? Isn't this an insult to their intelligence? !

Moreover, because of the previous problems of the ground shaking in Fontaine and the loud noises below, countless dissatisfied people have begun to complain to the [Law Enforcement Court] that this action was really an exaggeration. Sending so many clockwork mechanisms below to cause damage has completely affected their lives, which makes the nobles even more miserable.

This matter even alarmed Funina, who basically did not care about the matter, and she sent people to inquire about the situation. The nobles could only give vague answers, saying that the matter was under investigation.

Clorinde did discover the trick. It seemed that what happened in Fontaine this time was not that simple. But she wanted to investigate the situation. However, Funina was frightened because of the previous vicious incident, so she couldn't get away. After all, her main responsibility was to protect Funina.

At this time, the nobles were holding another meeting in the Debo Hotel. This time they were completely determined to completely wipe out this resistance force in Gray River.

Although we don't know how they did it, there is no doubt that they have become a gang of mobs. If we don't completely eliminate them, we will be even more uneasy than when we knew the methods of the serial suicide murderer.

After all, the chance of an ordinary person on the street breaking through the blockade of bodyguards and mechanical guards and killing him is definitely much smaller than that of tens of thousands of people gathering together to overthrow his rule.

However, just as they were discussing how to completely eliminate the people in the Gray River, suddenly one of the viscount's butlers knocked on the door in panic.

Even though Marquis Ralph was very unhappy with such behavior, he still signaled to the viscount with his eyes that he could ask his butler if he had anything to ask him.

When the Viscount saw Marquis Ralph's face, he knew that he had displeased the other party. Thinking that he must have left a bad impression on the other party, he immediately walked towards his butler with anger in his heart.

"Damn it, if it's nothing important, just go feed the fish in the sea!"

The Viscount spoke in an extremely cold voice, without any sign of softening his heart because the other party had followed him for ten years. The cold look in his eyes gave the butler a chill. He knew that the other party was not joking, so he spoke immediately.

"Oh no, Viscount, you've been accused!"

"what?!"

The Viscount was dumbfounded. In his opinion, at most there was a problem with the [Court of Enforcement] which involved his rights. He never expected that he would be the one in trouble this time!

The Viscount's face was full of disbelief.

"Are you telling the truth? If you dare to lie to me, I won't let you go!"

"My Lord Viscount, what I said is absolutely true!"

Seeing that the Viscount did not believe what he said, the butler continued to speak anxiously.

"Just a while ago, an ordinary worker took advantage of the opportunity when the Supreme Judge Navilette left the Momang Palace and accused him face to face, saying that you were corrupt, abused your power, framed loyal officials, and harmed the people."

"That person also said that he had sufficient evidence in his hands and he was willing to use his life to guarantee the authenticity of the evidence."

"After hearing what the man said, Villette has announced that the other party is guilty of the charges and the trial will begin in two days."

When he heard this, the Viscount was already furious.

"How is this possible? Who on earth is this lowly person who has such a guts?"

"This is slander, blatant slander, damn Navrette, you believe the words of a bunch of untouchables!"

"That untouchable is courting death. He actually dared to accuse me. I will kill him and bury all his family members with him!"

The commotion here by the Viscount obviously attracted the attention of Marquis Ralph, and when he heard that the other party was being accused, he couldn't help but frowned.

"You idiot, even with the help of the [Law Enforcement Court], you can still be caught by others."

"No, I have already handled it very cleanly. There are only a few people left who know what I did, Marquis Ralph!"

After hearing Marquis Ralph's dissatisfied words, the Viscount hurried to explain.

"Unless there is a traitor among my people!"

At this point, the Viscount couldn't help but glance at the butler with a cold look. He suddenly remembered that the butler knew everything.

The butler suddenly felt flustered and quickly said that he was loyal to the Viscount.

"Okay, it's already happened, so why not think about how to solve it."

Marquis Ralph looked at the other party with great dissatisfaction. Because of the previous failure of the [Law Enforcement Court] and this accusation, Marquis Ralph didn't want to care about this viscount anymore. The other party really disappointed him.

But Marquis Ralph thought that all those sitting here were his followers. If he gave up the Viscount directly, it would make others worried.

"Forget it, don't do it, or else it will be messy again."

"I'll let Shadow Hunter handle this matter and let him become the next victim of the serial suicide case."

……

"We win, we win!"

This was the first real confrontation with the [Court of Enforcement]. This victory was so important that it successfully eliminated the invincible image of the [Court of Enforcement] in everyone's minds.

But before everyone had time to celebrate, they discovered that they couldn't find the great hero.

That great hero single-handedly blocked a small team of the [Law Enforcement Court] and almost wiped them out, and then forced the commander of the [Law Enforcement Court] to order all teams to assemble, which gave them a great opportunity.

Otherwise, the most they can do is inflict heavy damage, but because of the disparity in weapons and equipment, they will still end up in a tough battle.

It can be said that this man made an indelible contribution to this victory!

But as everyone waited for the other party to show up and hold a celebration party, their mood became increasingly heavy, and they had a bad feeling.

Navia quickly asked everyone to disperse and search.

At this moment, Charlotte was conducting an exclusive interview with an ordinary worker who was not afraid of power and accused a viscount to his face.

Chapter 43 We haven’t had time to take action yet!

The man who appeared in front of Charlotte at this time was about forty years old. He was wearing a work uniform that was washed white and his face was full of traces of vicissitudes.

However, at this moment, an expression of uncontrollable anger appeared on the face of this simple worker.

Charlotte looked at the man with some emotion.

Originally, she was preparing to cooperate with Gray River to report some negative news about the nobles.

However, she never expected that there would be someone more stubborn than her. Accusing a noble in the street might put his life in danger regardless of whether he succeeded or not.

Charlotte couldn't bear to watch the other party die in vain, so she thought about expanding his influence through exclusive reports, and then making those nobles afraid to attack him.

Apart from this, Charlotte couldn't think of anything else she could do.

"Excuse me, Mr. Baker, is it true that you have important evidence against the other party?"

"Of course, Miss Charlotte, I have pledged my life, isn't that enough to prove my words?"

"Is there anything in this world more important than life?!"

The man was very emotional, and Charlotte had to stop temporarily to calm him down before continuing the interview.

"Then may I ask, Mr. Baker, why don't you hand over the evidence to the security team for safekeeping?"

"What a joke! The security team is useless. Didn't you see so many people went in a while ago?"

The man snorted coldly and spoke unceremoniously.

"If you ask me, the Fontaine guards have long been playthings of the nobles. With so many unsolved cases that they can't solve, they just engage in infighting."

"Investigate the case, investigate the case. The number of people who died in the investigation is several times more than the victims. I really don't know what the security team is investigating!"

"Let me hand over the evidence to these losers? Won't they turn around and give false testimony to those nobles?!"

Wow, Charlotte was completely stunned. She didn't expect that the man in front of her would be so rude.

Having offended the Viscount, he's already in trouble with the [Court of Law Enforcement], and now he's offended the security team as well. He's simply asking for too much luck!

No, this report definitely cannot be sent out directly like this. She has to polish it carefully after the interview.

However, Charlotte's thoughts seemed to be seen through by the other party, and suddenly the man's eyes became sharp when he looked at Charlotte.

"Girl, I accepted your interview because I trust you. You can't change my speech without my permission!"

After hearing what the man said, Charlotte was completely helpless.

"Mr. Baker, you know that if I directly publish this interview with you, it will not only not help your current dangerous situation, but will make you more dangerous, do you know that?"

"Of course I know, but my fall will be more meaningful to Fontaine!"

The man's tone was not as excited as before when he said this, but the weight of his words shocked Charlotte even more.

"If I really valued my life, I would let all this evidence rot in my stomach."

"But, I, Joe...I, Baker, have a dream!"

"I want to completely expose the ugly faces of those nobles and let everyone see the true face of these parasites."

“I want my fellow citizens in the Gray River to return to the land and see the blue sky again.”

“I want the children of workers to no longer be workers, and the children of poor people to no longer be poor.”

……

Charlotte stared blankly at the man in front of her who was making an impassioned speech. Although he spoke bluntly, Charlotte could feel a strong impact from the picture he described!

Yes, aren’t ordinary people’s wishes that simple? But at the moment, it seems that such a simple wish is so difficult to achieve.

It seems that in Fontaine, there is a huge gap separating the poor and the rich, a distance that the poor can hardly cross even if they try their best.

"I know I am doing something dangerous, but I cannot bear to see the crime go unpunished. Before I did this, I had already settled my family."

"No matter what happens to me, as long as my family is safe, that's enough!"

Charlotte looked in shock at the man in front of her who talked about his life and death so lightly. To this man, there was something more important than his life. This behavior of pursuing his dream at all costs made Charlotte have deep respect for him.

Even at this moment, Charlotte felt a little ashamed. She was actually hesitant about the other party's exclusive report because she knew that doing so would undoubtedly anger the big man who held the power in Fontaine. But at this moment, Charlotte was infected by the other party's courage and fearlessness.

Charlotte ended the interview immediately, reminded the other party to be careful about safety, and then returned to the Steambird newspaper office to discuss with the editor-in-chief, Ou Fu.

After getting Oufu's consent, Charlotte began to publish exclusive reports on men, and then hurried away with the resignation letter.

A report titled "I Have a Dream" once again ignited the emotions of the people of Fontaine. When everyone discovered that the dream described by the man named Baker was so similar to what they had in mind, he had become the spokesperson for thousands of ordinary people.

Many people began to look for Baker's whereabouts, wanting to protect him and prevent the nobles from using some dirty tricks.

After reading this report, the nobles were also furious. They immediately sent people from the Law Enforcement Court to surround the Steambird Newspaper Office, hoping to capture Charlotte, but they came up empty-handed. However, the Steambird Newspaper Office was temporarily closed down.

The noble then immediately sent out the Shadow Hunter and asked him to find the man who was not aware of his own danger and deal with him as soon as possible.

However, not long after the Shadow Hunters set out, news of the man's death reached the ears of everyone in Fontaine.

The nobles were stunned when they heard the news.

No, they haven’t made any move yet!

Even more outrageous things happened later. After a detailed investigation by the security team, they found that a secret room was formed where the deceased was. Since they could not unlock the secret room no matter what, they temporarily defined the death of the man named Baker, who was stabbed in the back, as suicide.

Now, the situation is developing towards a situation that is somewhat difficult to control...

Chapter 44: Another suicide

"What happened? Why did that person die early?"

"Who did it? Didn't I tell you not to act rashly and let the Shadow Hunter handle this matter?"

Marquis Ralph was almost furious. The man deserved to die, but he couldn't die like this!

If it didn't die according to the original plan, all the blame will definitely be put on them!

"Who the hell is this idiot? Come out and tell me who you are. Otherwise, if I find out..."

Marquis Ralph's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. What happened this time really made him passive.

What made Marquis Ralph most upset was that he had already sent out the [Shadow Hunter], which meant that if anyone found out about this matter in the future, he would be the first to be blamed.

Marquis Ralph felt so aggrieved for the first time that he felt like he was almost suffocating.

All the nobles who were glanced at by Marquis Ralph turned into turtles, lowering their heads and pretending to be deep.

For a long time, no one stood up or dared to say anything. After Marquis Ralph gradually calmed down, he began to think.

He should be able to rule out the nobles in front of him, as their future and even their lives are completely in his own hands, and they dare not do anything to disobey him.
