"Get behind the armored vehicle and hide!"
Knowing that he couldn't help in the current situation, 4277 quickly ran to the armored vehicle behind.
When Jingyuan saw the scale plate in front of him, he thought it had arrived just in time.
The flying spike fell into Nirvana when it was used to kill the Flower Calyx Beast.
Jingyuan was rescued by Penny at the time, and hadn't had time to pick it up yet.
4277 delivered the scale plate, so Jingyuan has a weapon to use again.
"Where were we counting to? Five?"
The priests held their guns even more firmly now.
"stop!"
Suddenly a loud shout came from afar, and Jing Nan was seen pushing City Lord Morgan over.
Everyone present was shocked.
Morgan not only woke up, but also looked to be in good health.
Charles was shocked!
Why did the old man wake up?
Jingyuan looked at Jingnan from afar, and the two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.
When Charles sent Lorife down to the surface to retrieve medicine for Morgan, Jingyuan already knew their purpose.
At that time, Vann, Locke, and Lorife each had a dose of medicine in their hands.
After dealing with the Devouring Beast, Jingyuan found a box of medicine on the ground, which should have fallen from Locke.
He brought it back casually.
When Mark was about to go to Nirvana to get the medicine, Jingyuan wanted to take the medicine out with him.
But Mark insisted on going!
He wanted Morgan to personally break the three laws he himself had set!
Jingyuan supports him!
But Jingyuan also had to prevent Charles from staging a coup.
Fortunately, he had an ally at the lighthouse—Jingnan!
Before going to the ground, Jingyuan gave Jingnan half a tube of medicine. He only gave him half a tube, just to save Morgan's life!
Morgan, seated in his wheelchair, stared coldly at Charles and demanded, "Charles, what are you doing?"
Charles didn't even bother to explain. "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Cough cough!" Morgan coughed twice. The half-tube of medicine had woken him up, but it couldn't cure him.
Mark stepped forward with the box of medicine and said, "Lord City Lord, we went to the Ecological Bureau to retrieve the medicine for you. Please return to the medical center to collect your records!"
Morgan glared at Mark and said angrily, "Who told you to go get the medicine!"
Mark was stunned!
I was trying to save you! Why are you acting like this?
Morgan, looking utterly exasperated, rebuked Mark: "Since I've already declared you the next city lord, you're the first in line to the throne! Since I've been declared beyond saving, you should take the throne right now! Instead of leading a bunch of people on an adventure to the surface just for my sake!"
Chapter 106 You're a monster!
Those present reacted differently to Morgan's words.
Charles was angry and jealous.
It turns out that in the old man's heart, he would rather die than not help Mark take the throne!
Mark was not only shocked, but also somewhat disheartened.
Because from these words, he understood that Morgan would rather die than change the Three Laws!
Jing Yuan stepped forward and said, "Lord City Lord, we have already violated the Three Laws for your sake. Do you intend to join us on the execution platform now?"
Morgan was also caught in a dilemma; he didn't care if he died.
But if we kill Mark and the elite hunters at the same time, it would be a huge loss!
Jing Yuan continued, "Lord City Lord, can we settle the unresolved matters that were left unresolved before you fell unconscious?"
Right now, nobody's mentioning that incident, not even Mark.
Everyone knew that this was to force Morgan to deal with his son.
Although there is no "human touch" on the lighthouse, there is "human etiquette and social customs".
If no one brings it up, then Jingyuan will.
"The situation is now very clear! Captain Mark's intrusion into the Hall of Dawn, violating the Three Laws—it's all a setup by Charles to frame Captain Mark in his bid for the position of City Lord!"
Both sides consisted of their own trusted confidants, and most of them wouldn't care about being framed. This was mainly said to Morgan and some unstable fence-sitters.
"Not only that! Charles also arranged for someone to assassinate Mark while he was on a dangerous mission!"
Jingyuan turned around and said, "Bring those two commoners up here!"
Jeff and Chu Feng brought 4068 and 4414 up with them.
4414 looked completely mad, and Jingyuan couldn't do anything about him.
Jingyuan walked up to 4068. "I've already told you, I arranged for 4277 to be protected. Why did you work for Charles and betray us? Tell me! Who arranged for you to betray us?"
"Vice Captain Jingyuan, you've misunderstood. I didn't cause your infection with the 'Scorpion Essence'; you're hallucinating!"
After saying that, 4068 said to Morgan and the others, "Vice Captain Jingyuan is infected with the Xinghongsu. It's all a hallucination in his mind!"
When everyone heard that Jing Yuan had been infected with the Xinghongsu, a commotion arose, and they couldn't help but take a step back, as if they were afraid of being infected themselves.
Beside her, 4277 stood there blankly. She had seen 4068 handcuffed in the car and realized something was wrong.
When 4068 was brought out, she came out with him.
She didn't believe 4068 would do such a thing, but she also didn't believe Jingyuan would lie.
At that moment, she really hoped that Jingyuan himself had been infected with the serotonin and was hallucinating!
Jingyuan was enraged by his sophistry. He glanced at 4277, picked up 4068, and cursed, "You coward who dares to do something but not admit it! No wonder 4277 looks down on you! You? You want to become a citizen? Bah!"
After Jingyuan finished speaking, he threw 4068 on the ground and left.
For a moment, humiliation and anger filled 4068's heart. His childhood sweetheart 4277 looked down on him? He was not worthy of being a citizen?
In front of 4277, 4068 felt like he was going crazy.
In a fit of rage, he stood up and yelled at Jing Yuan, "You're just lucky to be an upper-class citizen! What are you so arrogant about! I'm just unlucky! If I were an upper-class citizen, I wouldn't be any worse than you! Yes! I'm the one who put the 'fishy red substance' on you, so what can you do to me? There's no cure for fishy red disease! Jing Yuan, no matter how powerful you are, you're still going to die!"
Jing Yuan said without turning his head, "Do you think I'm a piece of trash like you? What can mere Xinghongsu do to me?"
Judging from Jing Yuan's expression, the Xinghongsu seemed to have no effect on him.
At this point, 4068 also panicked.
He knelt down in Charles's direction and cried out, "Save me, Master! I was following your orders..."
"Shut up!" Charles snapped. "I think you're both infected with serotonin!"
Jing Yuan snorted coldly and looked at Lord Morgan, "Lord City Lord! Charles is using the Dawn Hall to engage in power-for-sex deals! He openly framed and assassinated the Hunter Commander! Now he's leading so many people in a coup! Lord City Lord! What do you suggest we do?"
Morgan fell silent, for these were capital offenses!
His original plan was to have Charles step down and stay with him for a while until he himself went on his journey.
Unfortunately, things have come to this point!
The two sides are now at an impasse, and no matter how the situation is handled, both sides will have their own opinions.
Left with no other option, Morgan turned the question to Mark, asking, "Mark, what are you planning to do?"
Mark stepped forward; this was the moment to demonstrate his responsibility as the next leader.
“Lord of the city, you have worked so hard for the lighthouse for so many years, it’s time for you to take a break.”
Morgan looked at Mark with a complicated expression.
"So what do you plan to do with Charles?" Morgan knew that even if Charles and Mark fought head-on, Charles wouldn't be the one to survive.
He was going to pass the throne to Mark anyway, so it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.
While he still has influence, he wants to secure a future for Charles and the Lighthouse.
Mark said in a deep voice, "If the Chief Justice, leading the Law Institute and the city defense forces, is welcoming the hunters back to the ranks, then everything that happened in the past can be forgiven."
Charles, upon hearing this, sneered, "Oh? Should I thank Lord Mark then?"
“I understand!” Morgan said in a deep voice. “Everyone, lay down your weapons!”
"Hmph!" Charles sneered, "As expected, at this time, you still chose Mark!"
"Charles, are you really going to rebel?!"
