Chapter 255 The Macintosh Family Has Supports


    “Dad? Are you scared? Why are you scared of them?” Hubert, whose intellect had been dulled by the


    drug, was now consumed by pure


    malice.


    “Kill them all! No one dares to defy us in Havenlight County! Anyone who crosses me shall die! Even


    the so-called Quinnell family of


    Kingbourne!”


    “Son, what are you bbering about!” Derek was bewildered by


    Hubert’s words.


    Swiftly covering Hubert’s m*uth, Derek looked at Elliot, whose expression was cold, and said


    remorsefully, “Please forgive us, Mr.


    Quinnell, for not recognizing you sooner.”


    Then, he crawled over, grabbed Ryan’s leg, and pleaded, “Mr. Lloyd,


    you’ve visited our vige several times. You know me and my son are


    good people. How could we possibly have harmed Mr. Quinnell?”


    Ryan kicked him away in disgust. “You and your son snatch others wives and daughters, shelter


    traffickers, and you call yourselves good


    people?”


    Needless to say, the Quinnell family would not let this go easily. Was this some kind of sick joke? Who


    on earth would settle matters amicably with this family of bullies? Even a merciful saint could not


    tolerate this!


    Derek was cunning. Realizing that pleading didn’t work, the 60-year- old man showed his badge and


    knelt, tears streaming down his face


    as he looked at Garfield.


    “Back then, when the roads were difficult to traverse, my fellow vigers and I stayed behind, and that’s


    how this vige came to be.


    “Mr. Wade, your superiors have specifically reminded you to stand for us in times of need. Even if


    someone rich and powerfules, you


    still have to take care of us, Mr. Wade!”


    Garfield couldn’t help but feel disgusted upon hearing his words. Wynter watched with a slight raise of


    her eyebrow.


    She had sensed something fishy about Paradise Vige. It turned out that the Macintosh family had


    yed a role in the vige’s


    development, resulting in them receiving special treatment from the


    authorities.


    “You can’t let us down, Mr. Wade! Think of all the hard work and effort


    Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    we pioneers have put into building a home in these rural mountains!”


    Derek wept harder as he spoke.


    The elderly vigers gathered around, exchanged nces, and the


    slowly approached Garfield.


    “That’s right, Mr. Wade. We were once the pioneers that everyone was proud of.”


    “What’s Chief Macintosh done wrong? Just because he offended


    some rich guy from Kingbourne?”


    “Mr. Wade! Have you no heart at all?


    “And who does that so-called manager think he is,ing to our vige to show off his power?”


    “We have no women in our vige, so what’s wrong with buying a


    bride?”


    “If that missy doesn’t want to marry the Macintoshes, so be it! Didn’t the Macintoshes apologize to her?


    Is it necessary to resort to such


    extreme measures?”


    Garfield found it quite difficult tomunicate with these naive vigers sometimes. Nevertheless


    Derek was right. They did enjoy special treatment due to their efforts in developing this vige.


    Moreover, the Macintosh not only had the support of the vigers but they were also backed by the


    Scott family of Kingbourne. Hence, Garfield had to take his next steps cautiously. Then again, what


    could he possibly do under such circumstances?


    When he tried to argue based on legal principles, the vigers responded emotionally, appealing to


    personal connections instead of logic. Not to mention the heavy pressure from his superiors.


    “Mr. Quinnell, do you mind if we table this matter for now?” Garfield had no choice but to seek a


    compromise with Elliot.


    Already suffering from a high fever, Elliot had just eased his tension upon seeing Ryan, but now his


    demeanor turned cold again.


    “What is there to hold for a scumbag like this?” he retorted.


    But before Garfield could respond, the vigers began to shout.


    “Mr. Wade, don’t waste your time with him! Let’s see what this rich guy from Kingbourne can do to us


    old bones here!”


    “When we were clearing thend, he probably hadn’t even been born


    Chungen 2000 The Marselli


    yet!”


    “Anyone who wants toy a finger on Derek has to go through us first!


    Hearing their words, Ryan was so furious that he started panting.” Foolish rioters! You’re all a bunch of


    lawless troublemakers who can’t


    tell right from wrong!”


    Wynter, on the other hand, remained calm. She quickly estimated the number of people and whispered


    to Elliot, “What’s your rank?”


    “First-ss. But I cannot use force against civilians,” Elliot said in a hoarse voice, “At this rate, we’ll be


    in danger.”
