Dragon Lord Crane Smith novel Chapter 17

Alfred couldn't believe his ears, he never thought that Governor Porter had directly pronounced the death sentence on the Duncan family.

"Governor Porter, may I ask what crime the Duncan family has committed?"

Alfred knew that his son was a bastard, but he also just screwed some young women, which didn't seem like a problem at all to Alfred.

So what exactly did his family do wrong?

Crane smiled faintly and opened his mouth to explain to Alfred what it meant to be cocooned!

"Mr. Alfred, thanks to you, it has to be known that you were harboring thirty-nine Musketeers privately."

"Private arms possessions are not allowed within the territory, much less the creation of a private army, don't you know that?!"

His tone grew colder and colder.

Sound deadly!

"You, you!" Alfred was speechless.

He did understand that it was against the law of the land to harbor arms and build a private army.

But this Stone City will be his territory, so who would dare to report him?

What was more, he had never thought that John, the supreme governor of the land of Q State, would know this!

Finley saw it clearly instead.

"Governor Porter seems to be very respectful of that young man, no, it's Mr. Smith. It seems that even if Mr. Smith is not higher in status than Governor Porter, his background is definitely extraordinary."

He was smart enough to see the situation at the moment at a glance, and was even able to make a very clear judgment.

Those who were following Finley were also relieved at this moment.

With John around, the end of the Duncan family would come, and they would survive.

"Governor Porter, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, these musketeers are indeed from my Duncan family, but there's a reason for what happened!"

"This guy wants to destroy my Duncan family, and even more, he disabled my son, Master Myles, as well as killed my brother, the fourth and fifth masters, and the others."

"I did this to protect myself, even though I broke the law of the land, so I hope you, Governor Porter, will be lenient and avenge the death of my family!"

Backtracking.

A very classic backtracking.

John was going to be pissed off.

However, he glanced at Crane and had the idea of teasing Alfred in his mind.

Since he wanted to play, play well, let him first have hope, then let him slowly fall into despair and finally be tortured alive to insanity.

John approached step by step and suddenly spoke.

"I didn't expect it, before I received a report from certain people that your Duncan family was hiding arms and building a private army, that's why I came in a hurry."

"Now that I've heard you say so, it seems that my intelligence was wrong."

"Although you committed a felony, it was a matter of morally justified to avenge your family, and I would definitely do the same in my place."

Seeing this, Alfred was overjoyed and began to fill his mouth with slander again.

"Yes, Governor Porter, it's all these thugs who keep bullying our family because they have positions in the Ministry of War."

"You know, the majority of this huge Stone City's economy depends on our Duncan family and the Stone City Chamber of Commerce! If they really get their way, then the future of Stone City is in jeopardy, and it's a great misfortune for Q State!"

That look was aggrieved to the extreme that made Finley burst of amusement.

But it made him feel a bit metaphysical too.

John, who just made a harsh statement, said that he came here because of a tip-off and not because of the identity of Crane?

In addition, he was unaware of how the Crane and the Duncan family had become enemies from the beginning to the end, so if it was that the Crane was at fault, then even if the Duncan family would be punished, it would not be too heavy, after all, the Duncan family stood up morally.

He felt more and more nervous, and even more so, he couldn't stop looking at Crane and the others, only to find that these guys' faces were filled with teasing.

Turning his head again to take a look at John, although his face was calm, if one looked closely, a sneer was held at the corner of that mouth.

"Fuck!"

Even if it was Finley, at this moment, he couldn't help but burst out dirty words.

He finally saw that John was teasing Alfred and the Duncan family.

As expected, after Alfred had finished making a large speech and was waiting for Crane and the others to be arrested, John's voice resounded through the room once again -

"Mr. Alfred, are you done with your drama, are you done acting?"

"Hmm?"

Alfred froze for a moment, and the next moment he heard John's command again.

"All surrender your weapons, and all important members of the Duncan family kneel down and apologize to Mr. Smith."

His voice buzzed like a torrent of thunder.

In an instant, those who had been smug and thought that Crane was going to suffer were all dumbfounded at this moment.

Aren't they arresting Crane and the others?

How come it was now an arrest of their Duncan family?

John could see what these guys were thinking and became more and more angry.

"Do you guys really think I don't know anything?"

"Alfred, your son, Luca, the heir of the Duncan family, has raped and plundered many married women over the years, causing many families to be separated."

"Even you son has gone so far as to brutally murder the husbands and children of some of the women he possesses for his own pleasure, and this is the poor son you speak of?"

"And your Duncan family, all these years, knowing full well what Luca had done, yet you have been using all kinds of connections to shield him, and even killed countless whistleblowers, huh, there is simply not a single good man in your Duncan family."

"As for your claim that your Duncan family and the Stone City Chamber of Commerce are the economic pillars of this Stone City, it's even more amusing."

At this, John looked over at Finley, beckoning.

"Finley, right?"

"Come on, tell me how these guys have suppressed some of the local conscientious enterprises in Stone City over the years, supported those black-hearted enterprises, as well as foreign enterprises, and used them to annex the entire Stone City economic market!"

In fact, there was no need for Finley to say it, there was no one present who did not know it by heart.

At this moment, anyone who had connection with the Duncan family, their faces were pale to the extreme.

Alfred even fell to the ground with a poof.

He kind of understood that he thought he could get John to let him go, but it turned out that he was the mouse under the cat's paw.

He, for one, couldn't get away with it today.

When John saw this, he couldn't help but grunt coldly, but the only one who could make the decision here was Crane, and everything had to be at his command.

"Mr. Smith, these people have all been captured, what should we do with them?"

Surprise!

Everyone instinctively looked at John, and then at Crane.

John was a state and provincial official, punishing the Duncan family only needs a word, but actually had to ask Crane.

To say who was most shocked, apart from Alfred and the rest of the Duncan family, it was none other than Finley.

Who the hell was this young man!

For a while, those who had followed Finley but had defected to the Duncan family at a critical moment were in turmoil, and even more regretful.

The people who insisted on following Finley, on the other hand, were relieved at this moment.
