Chapter 255 I Have a Medal
"Dad, what are you worried about them for?" Harvey, already mentally impaired by the drugs, was left with pure malice. "Kill them all! In Ravenwood County, let's see who dares to resist! What Vanderbilt Family of Zelphoria, anyone who dares to ruin my plans will die!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Ole had no idea what was wrong with Harvey. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Lorenzo, whose face was cold, regretting his actions. "Mr. Vanderbilt, we didn't recognize you. We didn't know it was you."
Saying this, he crawled over and grabbed Nathan's leg, pleading, "Nathan, you've been to our town a few times. We really don't have bad intentions, and we certainly wouldn't harm Mr. Vanderbilt."
Nathan was thoroughly disgusted and kicked him away. "You kidnap women and children and harbor traffickers, and you call that having no bad intentions?"
Clearly, the Vanderbilt Family wasn't going to let this slide.
What a joke.
What family would make peace with the Spencer Family, such bullies?
Ole was a shrewd man. Seeing that pleading here was useless, the 60-year-old pulled out his medal and looked at Salvador, tears streaming down his face. "Back when the mountains were hard to traverse, I stayed and worked with the villagers, and that's how this town came to be. Mr. Rivas, the higher-ups said you should protect us old comrades in critical times. Even if the wealthy and powerful come, you should still look after us."
Salvador felt like he had swallowed a fly listening to this.
Adeline watched the scene, slightly raising an eyebrow.
From the beginning, she had guessed that Eastgate Towns was not simple.
So this was the connection.
The Spencer Family did have some merits.
"You can't let us, who worked hard to build our homes and stayed in this poor mountain village, lose heart!"
The more Ole spoke, the harder he cried.
The old townsfolk around exchanged glances.
Then they started to approach Salvador.
"Yes, Mr. Rivas, we were all role models back then."
"What did Ole do wrong, just because he offended someone from Zelphoria?"
"And this Nathan, why does he get to strut around here?"
"We don't have wives, so what's wrong with buying one?"
"She didn't want to, and the Spencer Family apologized! Is it necessary to be so ruthless?"
Salvador sometimes found it hard to reason with these ignorant people.
But they did benefit from the policies of that time.
There was also the connection with the Jones family of Zelphoria. He had to think carefully about how to act.
The Spencer Family had been in the town for many years, and their network was not to be underestimated.
Salvador was truly troubled.
Salvador could only turn to Lorenzo. "Mr. Vanderbilt, how about we wait for the higher-ups' decision on this matter?"
Lorenzo, still feverish, had just relaxed when he saw familiar faces, but now his eyes turned cold again.
"Scum like this, what are you waiting for the higher-ups for?"
Salvador wanted to say something more.
But the old townsfolk shouted, "Mr. Rivas, stop wasting words with him! I want to see what he can do to us!"
"When we were opening up the mountains, he didn't even know where he was!"
"Anyone who touches Ole today is touching all of us!"
Nathan was so angry he was panting. "Enough! You are a bunch of morally bankrupt mob!"
Adeline, however, remained calm. She estimated the number of people and asked Lorenzo in a low voice, "What medal do you have?"
"Medal of Honor. I can't use force against civilians." Lorenzo's voice was hoarse. "If this continues, we'll be in danger."
