My Way

Chapter 183 A vendetta?

When all the flames subsided.

The Zuo family building complex, which covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters, along with the thousands of people housed in it, have all been reduced to the simplest ashes.

There are no corpses.

There are no signs of fighting.

There are no ruins...

Not even the foundation buried deep underground was left.

Look around.

What comes into view is just a lake of molten lava that is still emitting high temperatures.

That turbid and sticky molten lava.

It is the final relic of the entire area!
at this time.

As the mayor of [Gulan City], the person behind Ling Wuyuan finally spoke:
"Ling Wuyuan, although you are indeed very powerful, I think you should know one thing... that is, large-scale killings are prohibited in any official town. Are you planning to challenge the authority of the entire [White Mist Country]?"

Although I don't want to stand out and provoke Ling Wuyuan.

But as the mayor of [Gulan City], this is my duty.

therefore.

The other party must say something at this time.

otherwise.

Even the imperial court of [White Mist Country] will not let him go.

As for the official towns he mentioned, they were towns governed by the government.

The manager of this town.

Without exception, all were appointed by the imperial court!
And they all have troops stationed locally!

The opposite of this is the type of affiliated town that is formed by various gangs or forces.

The White Crow Gang, where Ling Wuyuan used to belong, built a small private town at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone living there has a close relationship with the White Crow Gang.

Although they would also pay various taxes to the surrounding official towns on a regular basis depending on the circumstances.

But in essence, they are actually a kind of dominion.

The so-called taxes, in other words, can also be called protection fees...

It is a large private base where you can play by yourself.

Just don't make any big noise.

Then the authorities usually don't bother to deal with them.

of course.

In contrast, even if problems arise in those towns, the authorities are usually too lazy to intervene.

At most, when things are beyond redemption, we will clean up the mess.

For example: if those towns were massacred by monsters, the government would not mind collecting their bodies afterwards and taking away their accumulated wealth...

This is the case when individual power crushes group power.

A certain social structure that arises naturally.

Because the imperial court doesn't care at all whether you raise private soldiers or win over civilians.

Therefore, the court chose to delegate power to a certain extent.

Anyway.

All you have to do is fulfill your obligations.

You have to pay me the taxes you owe.

Besides, it’s just normal.

When I give you a formal order, you must do your job honestly.

As for whether the other party will gather together to rebel?

That's a useless worry.

How many people?

Generally speaking, there is no use...

What's the point of having thousands of private soldiers?

The experts in the court can give you the entire map single-handedly.

And now, as the current manager of this official town, a person holding an officially appointed position, the mayor of [Gulan City] is questioning Ling Wuyuan on behalf of the court of [Baiwu Kingdom].

In this regard.

Ling Wuyuan just replied calmly:

"Fighting in the martial arts world, isn't that okay?"

That was a very righteous tone.

Hearing this, the other party was slightly stunned:
"Gangster revenge?"

"What grudge does the Zuo family have against you?"

Besides doubts.

The tone of the other party's words immediately softened.

"Oh~"

"So it's a vendetta..."

"Then it wouldn't be a big deal if Ling Wuyuan killed the whole family..."

If it was in Ling Wuyuan’s previous life’s world.

Gang vendettas and the like are not even suitable excuses.

But in this world, where force is supreme, where you kill me and I kill you...it's a little different.

Mass killing for no reason! (X)

No! It's a revenge. You killed my whole family, so I will kill your whole family too! (√)

Row!
Very reasonable!
to be honest.

Everyone who is out there in the gang has blood on their hands.

And the grumpy old man is well known to many people.

It is completely impossible to expect enemies not to retaliate against each other!!
Many times, let alone their enemies, if someone tries to stop them from seeking revenge, they will often kill the person trying to stop them from fighting!!
therefore.

Regarding things like [gang vendettas].

The world generally has extremely flexible moral and legal standards.

Just do things for this reason.

Even if it means committing murder.

In many cases, it can still be judged as [reasonable] and [not a crime].

even.

Even the rulers thought that things were actually very reasonable.

beat!
Just hit it!!

As long as no innocent people are implicated and order is not disrupted.

The situation can only be described as plain and simple.

and this.

It is also a kind of development brought about when individual power is far greater than group power.

Don't try to reason with me!

Revenge!

Complain if you have any complaints!
Whether what we do is right or wrong is often judged based on our own morals, rather than relying on various so-called legal clauses.

Let’s take the simplest example - a bully who has been a scourge to people in the surrounding villages killed your relatives, so you chose to retaliate, went back, killed the bully, and killed his entire family. In this situation, in this world, you may not necessarily be considered a criminal, and you may even be considered a moral model. People in the surrounding villages will all give you banners, saying that the killing was good and wonderful, and even the officials will think that there is nothing wrong with it, and may even laugh out loud.

However, in Ling Wuyuan's previous life's world, similar things would undoubtedly be considered crimes.

So what if the other person is a bully and kills your relatives?

Whether the other party should be killed or go to jail is a matter for the law to decide.

You exceeded your authority and killed the other person, so you were wrong!

You can basically only eat metal peanuts.

It's the same even if everyone thinks you are right from a moral perspective.

The law is relatively primitive.

But in a sense, they adhere more to the so-called basic morality, and there is not much deliberate Zhengwei.

Repay blood with blood, and revenge with revenge. Don't talk too much about big principles. This is one of the most basic operating principles of this world's legal system.

"These idiots tried to steal my inheritance. Is this enough of a grudge?"

Faced with Ling Wuyuan's question, the mayor of [Gulan City] felt more relaxed and more confused.

Are you trying to steal Ling Wuyuan's inheritance?

Ok……

If that's the case.

Then the Zuo family really has a way to seek death!

The whole family was murdered?

Very reasonable~
At least from the perspective of this world, the situation can only be described as extremely reasonable.

Even if the king came, he would approve the matter on the spot.

Good kill, absolutely no problem at all!

"Young Master Ling, do you have any physical evidence?"

For a moment, the city lord's tone softened a lot.

He no longer addressed him by his name, but started to call him Young Master Ling.

The attitude is flexible and changeable, and it goes with the flow.

In this regard.

Ling Wuyuan just shook his head calmly:
"No physical evidence is needed."

"You should know what happened when you watch the news in a couple of days..."

Say it.

The voice has not yet faded.

Ling Wuyuan's figure had already gone into the distance.

He didn't give any face to anyone present.

I'm totally too lazy to explain further.

And looking at Ling Wuyuan who came and went freely.

The city lord was also quite helpless.

He stood there and opened his mouth silently.

In the end, I couldn't say anything.

What can he do in this situation?

Of course he can only report the situation truthfully.
Could it be that he is going to fight Ling Wuyuan again? ?

I'm overthinking...

By the way.

He looked at the Zuo family, which had become a ruin, and couldn't help but think to himself with some satisfaction:
"I don't know what you did, but... you guys deserved a good death~"

"Now, all your properties will be mine..."
