In the middle of the village of Pavron, there is such a tall building with a white background and a red roof, with white marble neatly laid at its door, and a cross inlaid with gold and silver standing high at the head of its tower, which looks so luxurious but so solemn.

Built fifty years ago by the grandfather of the esteemed Count Jehamor, this church-like building actually served as a church, but only for members of the Jehamor family or friends. So, in many cases, the building, which represents the glory of the Jhamr family, is not open to the public, but at this time, this usually quiet courtyard seems a little noisy at the moment.

Charlie. Wood sat solemnly in the hall of the church, looking up at the icon with a determined face, waiting for justice to be done.

He listened to the angry statement of his friend above him, and closed his eyes in pain.

He covered his face with trembling hands again, and the uncontrollable grief almost overwhelmed him, and he lowered his head, which was getting heavier and heavier, and thought bitterly, how had all this happened?

Just this morning, Charlie. As usual, Wood called out to his eldest son, who was not a native of Pavron, but rather a merchant family from the border of the kingdom of Rhodok. He fled with his family to escape the war between Salander and Rhodok, and later relied on his wealth to settle in Pavron, and even gained a place in the local chamber of commerce.

Their family's business is doing really well, although it is not as good as the big families of the locals, but in the end, Charlie is still very satisfied with his life. Charlie and his wife have three children, and the eldest son has learned from Charlie how to deal with all kinds of people in the mall, and sooner or later he can inherit his mantle and carry forward the family; The second son loves martial arts, and although he doesn't let himself worry about it, he won't make any big mistakes after all; The rest is his most cherished little daughter, who is twenty-eight years old, with brilliant blonde hair, snow-white skin and charming facial features, just like an angel. The most important thing is that this daughter of mine is extremely filial and sensible, which is simply the meat of his heart!

With a successful career and a happy family, what kind of life could be more satisfying for Charlie than this?

However, all of this came to an end today, thinking of this, he raised his head angrily, and his murderous eyes shot at the young people not far away like lightning.

The steward, who was in charge of the Pavron civil disputes, walked under the icon with heavy steps, and he first made a solemn cross against the icon, and then turned to look coldly at the crowd below.

Charles looked at the gloomy man with some amusement, in his eyes, although this man looked burly, but after all, he was just a "rookie" who started to fight.

Just when he was secretly amused, the manager on the stage had a new move, he rolled up the sleeves of his black robe with a serious face, and slapped his hand heavily on the guardrail in front of him, as if he was about to hold back the anger in his heart and was about to teach the young people standing in the corner with his hands hanging down. His face was grim, and there was an uncontrollable disdain in his expression.

Looking at his iron-faced and selfless appearance, there was a low sound of approval from the crowd. However, there seems to be something wrong with all this, Charlie. Wood's years of experience had made him keenly aware of the odds, but he couldn't understand what was going wrong at the moment.

"You bastards! Your degrading deeds are like filthy beasts! The manager on the stage said sharply.

Charlie was almost in tears, and he heard his close friend say angrily, "That's right! They're a bunch of hopeless beasts! Filthy and shoddy guys like them deserve hell! “

The young men hung their hands, and there was no smile on their oily faces at the moment, and they bowed their heads in silence to express their sincere repentance, and willingly accepted any legal sanctions.

Charles looked at the guys with their heads down, and almost laughed. If he doesn't understand what's going to happen next, he's a complete fool. Although he was very sympathetic to the injustice that followed, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud when he saw the bruises on the faces of the oily-haired guys.

"Silence! Quiet! We will deal with it impartially, please stop making a lot of noise on this serious occasion, and we will have to invite you out! Under the pressure of the steward's stern eyes, Charlie's friend had no choice but to bow his head and silently retreat to his seat, throwing an apologetic glance at Charlie.

Charlie smiled and nodded at him, continuing to listen to the Steward's next trial.

"Your depraved deeds are despicable! But fortunately, your demon-seduced souls have not done irreparable wrong to that girl, otherwise I would have asked the lord to hang you! When the manager said this, he couldn't help but scratch his eyebrows, as if he was really an iron-faced and selfless detective.

"But, in view of the fact that you are only a bunch of ignorant children, in view of the great contribution of your family to the kingdom, and in view of your innocent history, I now put the following judgment on behalf of the Earl of Jehamel: I sentence you to compensate Charlie. Do you have any objection to the medical expenses of Mr. Wood's daughter and second son, two hundred dinars, and a three-month confinement at home? “

The young men with hanging hands were about to cry with excitement, and they kissed the back of the steward's hand gratefully, and swore reverently never to make such a mistake again.

Charlie. Wood looked at all this with a pale face, and sat feebly. It was only his more than thirty years of business experience that prevented him from being carried away by the blows and unbearable hatred that came from the blue. His daughter was almost taken by them, and his youngest son was actually broken by them in order to protect his sister, his life was ruined like this, and these lowly bastards were able to get away with it!

His face was pale, and he leaned weakly on the arm of his chair, and his friend protested angrily, but was knocked to the ground by the guards, and the manager pointed at him and said something, and then he was taken away by the guards.

Charlie. Wood looked coldly at this so-called farce, and watched the originally generous and grieving steward and his party gather around the young people, one by one happy and smiling.

A wave of grief and indignation welled up his throat and spilled through the gaps between his clenched teeth, and Charlie bit his fingers hard. He saw the young men who had escaped the trouble looking at him proudly, their eyes full of cold disdain.

Charlie. Wood, a merchant who had fled from the border, a man with blood on his hands, had lived in Pavron for many years in order to live a law-abiding life, and he had always thought that his happy life would continue under the protection of the law. But today he knew that his dream was shattered.

He gave a vicious last look at the jubilant crowd, then turned away without looking back.

Charles frowned as he watched his back fade away, and quietly followed.
