"Shut up, everyone!" Barnett shouted loudly.

His face was now flushed red, and he was furious. Not only are these workers cursing him, but also the workers are being cut off by Claire. In this case, who will earn the hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins he earns every year! Should he buy his maid and his mansion?

"Bah!" Kirk spat at Barnett and said without fear, "You are the only one who has to shut up, who will listen to you!"

Other workers also echoed, "Yes! Who is talking to you now? Get out of here, or we will beat you up later."

Saying these words, the workers felt extremely happy. This was the happiest day for them in more than ten years.

This idiot thought that he was still at his mercy as before. He and others had new jobs and could afford to support their families, so who would be afraid of him!

"You! You..." Barnett's extended hand was trembling slightly, obviously very angry.

"Don't be so proud that you smashed my things and just want to run away like this!"

"These things are my private property! You have destroyed my property, and you will all go to jail!" Barnett roared, turning back to the security personnel who followed him and said, "Block the door and don't let them escape!"

Kirk picked up the shovel and poked it on the ground. The momentum of the union leader finally showed. The security personnel who were about to leave were also shocked by the sound of the shovel hitting the ground and stopped.

"Who told you not to pay back the money you owe! We are exchanging things for debts!"

Barnett showed a proud expression on his face, "You can keep talking to the law enforcement officer about this!"

"It's one thing for me to owe you money, it's another thing for you to destroy my property. You are breaking the law!"

"According to the law, you all have to go to jail for me!" The smile and pride on Barnett's face became more and more obvious, "And I have a pretty good relationship with the law enforcement officer. If I spend some money to arrange another crime for you, I'm afraid you will have to stay in jail for the rest of your life!"

After hearing this, the workers looked at each other one after another. How could they study the law? They thought it would be enough to pay one debt for another. How could they ever think about going to jail?

Even Kirk didn't expect this to happen, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"If you kneel down and beg me now, maybe I can be kind and let you go." Banat put his finger on his waist and said proudly, "But you can't go to that new winery, and your wages will have to be reduced by another 20%!"

The workers on the opposite side were a little at a loss for a while, and Barnett also felt that he was gradually taking control.

"I don't think there's any need to compensate."

"Who's talking anymore!" Barnett turned around suddenly. What he didn't like the most was someone interrupting him while he was speaking.

Kirk A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward, "Lord Claire!"

The other workers' eyes lit up after hearing this. They had heard from brother Kirk that their new boss was called Claire.

"Who are you?" Barnett asked.

"Their new boss." Claire said relaxedly, and gave Kirk and the others a reassuring look.

"It's you!" Barnett's tone rose several times. The enemy was extremely jealous when they met. This person actually dared to poach him!

"Huh, don't think about it. They can't follow you back." Barnett sounded as if he was showing off his victory. "They actually dare to smash my equipment. If they follow you, then I will let them all go to jail!"

"I asked them to smash it." Claire said calmly.

"What?!" Barnett was shocked at first, then ecstatic, "Then you have to go to jail for me too!"

"Ha." Claire yawned, "I'm too lazy to tell you. My name is Claire, the city lord of Nafu City. If you are really capable, go ahead and sue me."

After saying that, he nodded towards Kirk and the others, "Now that the smashing is done, let's go. The transport carriages are ready for you."

After Kirk hesitated, he walked towards Claire, and then the workers followed him with smiles on their faces. It seemed that his new boss had a lot of background.

"Everyone, stop!" Barnett shouted angrily, "Don't leave! No one is allowed to leave!"

He shouted at the security personnel beside him, "Stop them quickly!!!"

But the five or six security personnel looked at the workers with shovels and Iron Hammer who dared to come forward, and the young man who had just arrived also looked noble. Barnett was obviously no match for them, and this Barnett was not a good person, so it would be better not to join them.

Banat was so angry that he twisted his fat body and rushed towards Claire, trying to use his physical advantage to kill Claire.

But before he took a few steps, he was hit by Wind Pellet that Claire casually popped out and flew backwards.

The force of Claire's attack was very light and did not kill the other party. Banat was in a daze and could still hear Claire waving goodbye to him before leaving.

"Bye... you must remember to sue me."

After the workers returned, they spent the whole day packing their belongings and moving them to the carriage. Although they didn't know where they were going, they still smiled happily. That smile was full of expectation and real joy. Because they believe that the place they go to will be better than here, and they will live happier!

Seventy-six people, Claire hired hundreds of carriages. When it was almost dark, everyone was organized and ready to set off.

"Is this why you called me out?" Rona asked in confusion. Rona thought there would be a need to use her, but it turned out that she was here to be an audience.

"Yeah." Claire played with a beer cap boredly, "I saw you were bored at home, so I called you out to exercise. I treated it like a trip."

"How was this trip?" Claire turned around and asked.

Rona After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "It's a little more interesting than staying at home." And she saw the whole thing, and the smiles on the faces of the workers and their families, and felt that something seemed to be touched deep in her heart. She seemed to be able to understand the joys and sorrows of these people, and she seemed to be able to integrate more into this human society.

After Barnett on the other side resumed his physical activity, he immediately rushed to Steward's Office on Rum Town and found the law enforcement officer he knew.

"Barnett, what's wrong with you? You were beaten until your nose was bruised and your face was swollen."

"Stop talking, I came to you today to report someone! He came from another city. He robbed my employees and smashed my winery!"

"Huh? This is a big deal." The law enforcement officer stood up. Barnett's brewery is a major taxpayer of Rum Town, and most of their bonuses come from there.

"Tell me, who is so bold? It doesn't matter if he's from other cities, I'll call for him to be captured right away."

Barnett felt calm after hearing this, and said, "Claire! He said he is a city lord named Nafu City!"

The consul was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Come here, handcuff this rascal Barnett to me!"

Barnett, who was handcuffed, looked confused:????

"Why are you beating me up! Go catch that Claire!"

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending! A city lord is at least a count-level figure. You want me to catch him?!"

"If you don't dare to go, you won't cuff me!"

"Do you know who he is?" The consul remembered the notice that Queen was sent a few days ago and the content of Claire mentioned in it, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you more, so as not to get angry."

"Bring him down quickly! Behead him and show him to the public tomorrow!"

"Ah?" Barnett's eyes became distracted. It seemed that he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
