Chapter 447

At that moment, the group of important figures from the village, who had been seated on the stage, could no longer sit still. One by one, they erupted into furious shots directed at Nolan. But Nolan only chuckled. "Look at them—before I've even said anything, they're already panicking. What's there to be afraid of? If you're innocent, you have nothing to fear. So, what are you all so anxious about?" Hearing this, Ben walked up to Nolan and said in a low voice, "Nolan, we've been treating you with nothing but courtesy this whole time because we're considering the help you once gave to the village. But don't mistake our patience for weakness. "You were in prison for the past three years, and in that time, the village has undergone significant changes. Things are not as you think they are, do you understand? If you step down quietly today, we can still negotiate privately after the event."
