Dragon Lord Crane Smith novel Chapter 17

Alfred couldn't believe his ears, he never thought that Governor Porter had directly pronounced the death sentence on the Duncan family.

"Governor Porter, may I ask what crime the Duncan family has committed?"

Alfred knew that his son was a bastard, but he also just screwed some young women, which didn't seem like a problem at all to Alfred.

So what exactly did his family do wrong?

Crane smiled faintly and opened his mouth to explain to Alfred what it meant to be cocooned!

"Mr. Alfred, thanks to you, it has to be known that you were harboring thirty-nine Musketeers privately."

"Private arms possessions are not allowed within the territory, much less the creation of a private army, don't you know that?!"

His tone grew colder and colder.

Sound deadly!

"You, you!" Alfred was speechless.

He did understand that it was against the law of the land to harbor arms and build a private army.

But this Stone City will be his territory, so who would dare to report him?

What was more, he had never thought that John, the supreme governor of the land of Q State, would know this!

Finley saw it clearly instead.

"Governor Porter seems to be very respectful of that young man, no, it's Mr. Smith. It seems that even if Mr. Smith is not higher in status than Governor Porter, his background is definitely extraordinary."

He was smart enough to see the situation at the moment at a glance, and was even able to make a very clear judgment.

Those who were following Finley were also relieved at this moment.

With John around, the end of the Duncan family would come, and they would survive.

"Governor Porter, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, these musketeers are indeed from my Duncan family, but there's a reason for what happened!"

"This guy wants to destroy my Duncan family, and even more, he disabled my son, Master Myles, as well as killed my brother, the fourth and fifth masters, and the others."

"I did this to protect myself, even though I broke the law of the land, so I hope you, Governor Porter, will be lenient and avenge the death of my family!"

Backtracking.

A very classic backtracking.

John was going to be pissed off.

However, he glanced at Crane and had the idea of teasing Alfred in his mind.

Since he wanted to play, play well, let him first have hope, then let him slowly fall into despair and finally be tortured alive to insanity.

John approached step by step and suddenly spoke.

"I didn't expect it, before I received a report from certain people that your Duncan family was hiding arms and building a private army, that's why I came in a hurry."

"Now that I've heard you say so, it seems that my intelligence was wrong."

"Although you committed a felony, it was a matter of morally justified to avenge your family, and I would definitely do the same in my place."

Seeing this, Alfred was overjoyed and began to fill his mouth with slander again.

"Yes, Governor Porter, it's all these thugs who keep bullying our family because they have positions in the Ministry of War."

"You know, the majority of this huge Stone City's economy depends on our Duncan family and the Stone City Chamber of Commerce! If they really get their way, then the future of Stone City is in jeopardy, and it's a great misfortune for Q State!"

That look was aggrieved to the extreme that made Finley burst of amusement.

But it made him feel a bit metaphysical too.

John, who just made a harsh statement, said that he came here because of a tip-off and not because of the identity of Crane?

In addition, he was unaware of how the Crane and the Duncan family had become enemies from the beginning to the end, so if it was that the Crane was at fault, then even if the Duncan family would be punished, it would not be too heavy, after all, the Duncan family stood up morally.
