“Mr. Lynch, tell us, what happened?” Multiple merchants who did business in the Tower surrounded
them with faces full of distress.
Some merchants cried out unhappily, “Mr. Lynch, we rented stores from you. Now the Tower is sealed
shut. You owe us an explanation!”
“That’s right! I just received goods worth hundreds of thousands for my store. If we can’t open up and
work as usual, my whole family has nothing to eat!”
“What he said! Mr. Lynch, with the promotion going on these two days in the Tower, you told us to
prepare our goods, but now…”
“Everybody, listen to me!” After noticing that the merchants of the Tower weren’t feeling very happy,
Richard waved his hands and shouted, “Trust me. The closure of the Tower is only temporary. Keep
calm, everyone. Mr. Lynch and I will find a way to solve this.”
“Empty talk is easy. What’s important are actions!” There were merchants who were deeply worried.
“Hmph, it’s hopeless. Three departments have been dispatched. There’s no other way about it!” A
sharp voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.

“Mr. Lynch, you have to compensate us for our losses since the Tower is sealed shut!” The sharp voice
rang out again.
“That’s right! Compensation! You must compensate us!”
Noticing that the crowd was about to lose control, Franklin took a deep breath in then bellowed,
“Everyone, you need to have faith in me. Please go back and wait for news. I promise that I will give
everyone an answer in three days at the latest.”
“Three days? Hmph, we might not even be able to find you then!” A peculiar voice suddenly rang out in
the crowd.
“That’s right. You must compensate us now!”
“Compensation! You must compensate us!”
“Who is speaking? Come on out if you have the nerve!” Richard shouted, enraged.
“They don’t want to compensate us at all! They’re forcing us to our deaths!” Once again, a sharp voice
instigated the crowd.
“The Tower is under Lynch. Look for him and get those in his family to compensate us with money!”
This immediately sparked the emotions of the Tower merchants who were already agitated beyond
belief over the Tower being sealed shut.
“Compensate us with money! You must compensate us!”
“Grab ahold of Lynch!”
The atmosphere at the entrance of the Tower was slowly becoming more violent.
“This won’t do! Mr. Lynch, leave!” Richard gasped for air before grabbing Franklin’s arm and pushing
him outward.
“Lynch is trying to escape!”
“Grab Lynch! We can’t let him escape!”
In a moment, unrest surged through the crowd. Pairs of big hands grabbed at Franklin. Among those
hands, there was a sudden flash of a cold blade.

before his eyes.

A large hand suddenly reached out to knock the dagger away with one hand when the person saw that
the dagger was about to stab Franklin, who was still surprised by the sudden outburst by the crowd, in
the chest.
A blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out in the crowd.
Ocho, who had single-handedly eliminated the danger of Franklin getting stabbed, defended him from
the front and said quietly, “Mr. Lynch, it’s dangerous here. Let me escort you out.”
“Mr. Ramirez, let’s go together.” Franklin shouted at Richard.
“Mr. Lynch, you leave first. I’ll bring up the rear.” Richard gritted his teeth and gestured with his hands.
Ocho turned his head to look at him deeply, then escorted Franklin out of the crowd.
“Oh no! Lynch is escaping!”
“Grab him! Don’t let Lynch escape!”
“Move!”
Seeing the people blocking him, Ocho saw the flash of a blade before his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt a cold blade sliced diagonally across his back.
It was like Ocho had eyes on his back. He slapped it away backhandedly.
