I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 157
[Chapter 157: The Runaway Old Tis]
“That damned baron! What did I say? He had bad intentions. Now he finally shows his fangs!”
An old man with a hunched back swung the hammer in his hand hard, his face full of anger.
Seeing this, everyone waved their fists and looked indignant.
But then, deep worry appeared on their faces again.
“But, as citizens of Fengming Town, we are merely his subjects. How can we fight against him?”
An old woman walked tremblingly to the center of the crowd.
She sighed deeply, her expression filled with worry and fatigue.
As she spoke, she looked at the old man holding the hammer.
“Old Tis, can you contact the Coby family? His son has now become a knight. If we can contact them, perhaps we can get the new baron to let us go and confiscate our land.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions straightened.
“Xing may work!”
“That’s right. I think the new baron is just a young boy. He must want to make a big move and give us a warning. If we can contact the Coby family, he should give us some face.”
Everyone got excited when talking about this.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they all thought this was feasible.
Seeing this scene, old Tis, who was holding the hammer, waved his hand and swung the hammer in his other hand again.
The hammer scraped against the air, making a whirring sound, and looked extremely powerful.
The next moment, the old man paused, put away the hammer, and looked at everyone.
“Let’s do this. Let’s go to other places in the town to hide first. If the new baron really doesn’t let us go, then we must ask Viscount Rudolf of Lanyang City to seek justice for us!”
After saying this, Old Timmy coughed lightly.
“However, as everyone knows, if you want to go to Lanyang City, you need to pay an entrance fee. So…”
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a trace of difficulty on their faces.
Seeing this, Old Tis swung the hammer again.
“Don’t you all want to break free from the oppression of this new baron? How can we do that without paying a price?”
At the end, Old Tis’s voice became louder, and he was determined to let everyone make a decision.
Seeing this, the group of people hesitated, looked at each other, and then nodded one after another.
“Old Tis is right! If we want him to return our land to us, we have to pay! I’ll go back and get the money now!”
After saying that, the man took a few steps and left.
Seeing this, everyone put aside their worries and went back home to get the money.
After a while, everyone gathered again and handed over their savings to Old Tis.
After receiving the money, the latter encouraged himself again, then left Fengming Town with his family without looking back.
Outside Fengming Town.
Old Tis looked at his eldest and second sons with a smug look on his face.
“Two good-for-nothings, see. Now we have money to leave this poor place.”
Old Tis’s eldest son was startled and asked hurriedly: “Father, aren’t we going to ask the Kerby family for help?”
Hearing this, old Tis stretched out his big hand and grabbed his eldest son’s ear hard.
“Humph! I told you to read more books but you didn’t listen! Do you really think the Kerby family is willing to stand up for us?”
