Chapter 34 Civilians and the Poor

"I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me?"

A young man named Louis Proudis grabbed Arnold's collar and stared at him fiercely.

Arno temporarily put aside his thoughts and glanced at Evie who was snickering next to him.

Emotions have now changed from the party watching the show to the party being watched.

Glancing again at the men around him who were still looking at him playfully, Arno sighed softly.

The security of the empire seems not to be very good.

"After watching a good show, remember to make up your vote later."

Arno said calmly.

Immediately, he put his hand on Louis's.

"Um?"

Louis was stunned for a moment.

And then—bang!

There was a loud bang, mixed with the sound of cracking wood chips.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Arno first threw Louis over his shoulder, and then grabbed his head fiercely.

Bang,

Bang,

Bang……

One by one, Arno grabbed his head and smashed it on the bar.

The force was so strong that it even caused several chips to appear on the fine compressed wood on the bar.

"Stop fighting!"

"If you fight again, someone will die!"

"Stop it."

Everyone around, including the lady bartending at the bar, came to stop Arno's rampage.

Even Evie was a little dazed by Arno's behavior.

Isn't this too extreme?

In her impression, Arno did not have such a character. He should be more indifferent.

finally,

Under the dissuasion of the people around him, Arno let go of his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up.

He glanced indifferently at the group of people standing around him who had not stood up when he was targeted, but now came out to act as good guys.

"You are really a barbaric person. Do you know the consequences of angering the Prudis family?"

"If you offend him, you can't live without it."

"You will spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Several men who had been watching Arnold's show stood up and said to him at this time.

They first threatened Arnold severely, and then changed their tone and said.

"But, as long as you give us a few hundred gold coins to honor us, we can introduce you to a top plastic surgeon."

"Then you can run away and live out the rest of your life."

"How about it? You can buy the rest of your life with only a few thousand gold coins. Isn't this a good deal?"

Arno looked at their faces and remained silent.

It seemed that these men had been staying in the bar because they knew that something like this might happen.

That's why they exploit people's fears to make a fortune.

However, it was clear that they had the wrong person this time.

"The Royal Capital Guard."

Arno took out a sign from his pocket and showed it in front of several men.

Under their dull gazes, Arno said slowly.

"According to my on-site judgment, you have committed several crimes such as personal threats, robbery, and fraud."

"According to the judgment of the imperial law, I can shoot you on the spot."

"However, I am a kind-hearted person and always avoid bloody scenes, so I will give you a chance."

Several men glanced at Louis, who had a bloody face, from the corner of their eyes, and sneered at Arno's shamelessness.

However, in this situation, they could only keep nodding.

"very good."

Arno nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to several men.

"Now, hand over all your belongings and you can leave."

"ah?"

"Ah, what? You have hurt my young heart. Isn't it reasonable for me to ask for compensation from you?"

Several men looked at Arno with a serious expression and looked at each other.

However, they still did not dare to disobey Arno.

In the empire, conflict with an official violent organization like the Guard was a dead end.

So, after a while, Arnold had several deflated wallets in his hand.

"Boss, can we leave now?"

Several men who may soon be living on the streets asked in a low voice.

"Walk?"

Arno raised his eyebrows, "What are we going to do?"

"Huh?"

The men were once again stunned.

Arno picked up their wallets and waved them in front of their eyes.

"You are really bold in bribing imperial civil servants."

"But--"

"Shut up, you bugs."

Arno pulled out a gun and pointed it at a man's head, his eyes extremely cold.

"Still, do you want to see Tofu Hua with your own eyes? It's free."

Tofu pudding, also known as brain paste.

Presumably no one wants to see that thing, especially not yours.

Arno was very satisfied when he saw that several men stopped talking and did not dare to move.

"Contact a few people and take them away in a while."

Turning to look at Evie who had been in a daze, Arno ordered.

Evie came to her senses and nodded.

"But what should we do after we take them away?"

"Just don't kill him."

The implication of this sentence is that apart from not killing people, we can do whatever we can to correct them.

Although Evie didn't understand what he meant, she quickly contacted the corrector.

After a while, several people in police uniforms came in and took the trembling men away.

Their disguise was very successful, clean and neat, without any sloppiness.

As long as they don't investigate, no one will know that they are not from the guard team.

Many people disappear in the empire every day, and not every disappearance can be figured out.

"Then, it's quiet here again."

"Give me another rum bar."

Arno sat down in his original seat and gestured to the lady.

The lady looked at Arno's unusually handsome face, trembled all over, and went to mix the drinks without delay.

Arno saw that her skirt was a little wet, but it didn't look like she was incontinent because of excessive fear.

Then he glanced at the red ears of the lady who was mixing the drinks with her back to him, and he was even more confused.

"Hey."

At this time, Ivy put her face close to Arno and asked in a low voice.

"What do you want to do by arresting those men? It's not just because of their boring provocations, right?"

"Of course, I'm not that bored yet."

Arno raised the unfinished glass of wine that Ivy had ordered before and drank it all.

"Did you notice the appearance of those men?"

"Appearance?"

Yvie frowned and began to recall slowly.

Those men were thin and pale, wearing clothes that were not tattered but not good either.

At first glance, there were not many people in the whole kingdom who were malnourished to such a serious degree.

Although the empire could not let every one of its people live a rich life, at least there was no problem with eating and drinking enough.

"They don't seem to be living well?"

Yvie said uncertainly.

"You're right, their lives are indeed not satisfactory."

"You can't expect people who can only think of a few hundred gold coins for blackmail to have much wealth."

"And..."

Arno pointed to the place where the men were sitting, motioning for Yvie to look.

"Did you find anything?"

Yvie looked carefully and found that the place where the men were sitting was obviously out of place with this bar.

"They don't seem to like drinking? There's not a glass of wine on their table."

"It's not that they don't like drinking, it's that they don't have money to drink."

Arno took the wine handed over by the bartender and found that her face was even redder.

Suppressing the confusion in his heart, he took a sip of the wine and said slowly.

"Because they are not civilians."

"——They are poor people."
