"You're not lying to me, are you!"
"Relax. A gentleman's word is as good as four horses can't chase it back. I'm not like you."
The City Lord listened to Lin Beichen's words and lowered his head somewhat shamefully, saying nothing as he continued leading Lin Beichen forward.
"But once I get your son out, we're even."
"Mm, okay." The City Lord didn't say much more, just replied to Lin Beichen with these two simple words.
Lin Beichen looked at the City Lord walking ahead, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile that was hard to read.
"Just you wait. When I get your son out, that's when I'll settle accounts with you. No need to rush."
The City Lord had always run rampant in the city, making the common folk's lives miserable. Though the people were seething with anger, they only dared to be angry, not to speak.
They had been stuck in this helpless misery for a long time.
However, Lin Beichen's appearance let the people finally vent the rage that had been pent up for so long.
