Zhang Xing figured out everything here. He snorted coldly and took a step forward, disappearing from the eyes of the people on the street.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the office of the City Lord's Mansion.
This was where his office was located.
When Zhang Xing was about to push the door open, he heard a burst of cheerful laughter coming from inside.
"Hahaha!
My Lords, the City Lord's throne is quite comfortable. Zhang Xing doesn't have the fortune to sit on it! "
"Eh!"
Zhang Xing's hand stopped. This voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
His mind turned quickly and he immediately remembered who the owner of the voice was.
He felt a little strange. Why is he here? What are they doing in my office?
"Lord Horton, oh no!
It's our honor for the City Lord to be here! "
"Yes!
It's our honor to be able to follow City Lord Horton and build Redbud City together! "
"…"
More than a dozen people inside were flattering the City Lord. From time to time, there would be a burst of hypocritical laughter.
"Thank you for your strong support. Actually, I, Horton, don't want to be a lousy City Lord here.
But this was unanimously approved by the Elders Guild. They also asked me to investigate the cause of death of the original City Lord, Holly. His death is somewhat unclear! "
Horton said sorrowfully.
"City Lord, I think there must be a conspiracy. Anyway, I don't believe that City Lord Holly was eaten by a magical beast."
"Yes, I think Endo and Murphy did it in order to curry favor with Zhang Xing!"
"Murphy is now in prison. We must make him confess truthfully. We must also remove Endo from his position and capture him for interrogation!"
"Yes, it's necessary to capture him. I heard that his family is going to Holy Roland Academy of Magic and Force in two days. I think this is just an excuse. They must be fleeing to avoid punishment!"
"Humph!"
Horton snorted coldly. The others stopped and waited for the City Lord to speak.
"He can't go anywhere. I have already sent people to monitor him.
In addition, his two precious daughters have also caught the eye of Feng Yan. It's even more impossible for him to escape. "
"Bam bam bam!"
A series of knocks on the door interrupted their pleasant meeting.
"Why are you knocking? Don't you know we're in a meeting?"
An official frowned and said coldly.
"City Lord Horton, let's continue. The servants are all new and don't know the rules."
The official immediately put on a flattering smile.
"It's alright."
Just as he was about to continue, he was stopped by a knock on the door.
"Let's go take a look. Maybe there's something urgent."
Horton raised his teacup and ordered.
The official quickly got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
When he saw Zhang Xing outside the door, he was completely dumbfounded.
It was as if his soul had flown away. He stood there in a daze, his eyes empty, forgetting where he was.
"What happened?"
After waiting for a while and realizing that there was no movement outside the door, Horton asked curiously.
The official did not reply and continued to stand there in a daze.
At this time, everyone else showed a puzzled expression.
"Jayr, who's outside?
The City Lord is asking you a question! "
Another official shouted.
Jayr woke up from a dream and his whole body quivered.
He widened his eyes and opened his mouth to speak. But his mouth was trembling and he could not say a word.
He wanted to show a flattering smile, but his stiff face did not listen to his command.
At the same time, his feet uncontrollably moved back step by step.
As his body moved back, the figure of the person at the door appeared.
"Clang!"
The teacup in Horton's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
