Armipotent

Chapter 502 - Rallying The Masses

It was not that Tang Shaoyang did not believe that a certain issue needed to be solved with words. But he was sure the issue with Mayor Tomas was not the one that could be solved with words.

This man had been in the highest rank in the town for years, he was not going to tolerate someone stronger than him to step into his pride just like that. Not selling the beastmen and the Dark Predator to him was a humiliation to the man, yet Ashley added it with a threat as well. The Mayor would return with more people with him and tried to return the humiliation on them.

Everything happened as Tang Shaoyang predicted, it was no different compared to gang conflict. It was about pride and power. He believed that Mayor Tomas made this big so others could see what would happen to someone who offended him. Tomas wanted to use him as an example to the others.

Tang Shaoyang, Ashley, Selena, and Aki were surrounded by the guards of Biaska Town right in front of Biaska Inn. Many hunters stopped by and wanted to know what actually happened.

”My people! Listen to me! We will be holding a public trial for a criminal! This man, he tried to kill me, the Mayor of Biaska Town! He is charged with the attempted murder and also illegally smuggled the dangerous creature!” Mayor Tomas announced loudly as he pointed at Tang Shaoyang and Aki, ”With that, this man will be publicly executed and his belongings will be confiscated by the town.”

A murmur broke amongst the crowd. Tang Shaoyang could hear what they were talking about clearly, ”He is doing it again!” ”He must be eyeing that Adolescent Dark Predator!” ”Yet another pitiful soul!” Those were the words of the hunters to watch for fun.

”Oh! Stupid People! Hear me out, this fool said that I am charged the attempted murder, but look at him! Heʼs fine, thereʼs no injury, his complexion is rosy and healthy, does it look like someone who just escapes from a murder?” Tang Shaoyang followed in a suit.

”He wanted to buy my pet, but I refused to sell my pets, hence he resorted to a shameful trick to get my pets. This is your Mayor, the Mayor of Biaska Town. Resorting a dirty trick to get what he wanted!” He yelled even louder that even the people that far from the square could listen to his voice.

”I will be the victim today, what about next time? It will be your turn, he will resort the same trick on you, my fellow hunters. The cycle will never end and the hunters in this town can never thrive because of the greedy mayor! We canʼt let that happen, we should fight and show the Mayor that we are not easily bullied by him!”

After he finished his words, the square was even getting louder with the murmur from the other hunters. Tang Shaoyangʼs words were true, after Tang Shaoyang, anyone could be the next target of the Mayorʼs vicious trick.

”Join me and fight the Mayor, or else you can be his target!” After saying that, Tang Shaoyang signaled to Aki, ”Start with your mind attack!” His mouth moved to say that but with no voice.

”ARGHHH!!!” Suddenly, a few guards around Mayor Tomas fell on their knees and clutched their heads. Screams echoed throughout the square, shocking the other guards and also the hunters. Even Mayor Tomas was not expecting Tang Shaoyang to attack him first.

”The Dark Tremor Beastmen! Itʼs him, kill that thing!” Mayor Tomas pointed at Aki. He was quick with his response and found the culprit. He had done his research about Mind Control. While it was strong with the mind attack, it was weak physically and knew a little about spells. Mayor Tomas was confident in taking care of the Dark Tremor Beastmen.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A lot of hunters appeared on the rooftop of the building, pointing their arrows toward the beastmen. Their arrows were enhanced with mana which made them more powerful than a normal arrow.

However, Mayor Tomas miscalculated, or could be said he underestimated Akiʼs class and power. All the hunters who tried to snipe the beastmen suddenly fell off. The rat beastmen destroyed their minds and killed them. Compared to Tang Shaoyang, these hunters were nothing to him.

Of course, his mind attack did not work on the people around Mayor Tomas. They were individually strong, attacking them with a mind attack could only hurt them temporarily and if he had to spread the mind attack on all of them, the effect would be minuscule on them. Of course, he was not worried since his Master was a man with a Dragon Bloodline. Once he transformed, those people should be easy for him.

It happened so fast that the people who came to watch barely understood what actually happened. The guards that tried to approach Tang Shaoyangʼs group suddenly screamed in pain and died. Then high-level hunters appeared and tried to snipe the beastmen, but they suffered the same fate.

”My fellow hunters! This is our chance. This is our chance to end Mayor Tomasʼs tyranny, this is the time for a new era. We can win with the help of my friend!” Tang Shaoyang pointed at Aki and told them Aki was his friend instead of his pet. Of course, with what happened in front of them, no one was going to question the inconsistency with his claim, ”For those who have been bullied by those guards and Mayor Tomas, raise your swords and letʼs greet a new era!”

No one responded to Tang Shaoyangʼs call. Mayor Tomas grinned at Tang Shaoyang, he was about to order his subordinates to catch Tang Shaoyang until a voice rang, ”I have been bullied. The Captain Guard has been extorting me and even forced my wife to sleep with him. This is our time, fellow hunters. Donʼt let these greedy pigs continue to bully us, letʼs end Mayor Tomasʼ tyranny!”

After one person, it was easy for the second and the third person to step up. More and more hunters started to step up as they saw there was a chance to take down Mayor Tomas. They initially came to watch for fun, but Tang Shaoyangʼs oration managed to persuade them. He was right, everyone could be the next victim.

”Donʼt believe him! He is using you to fight, fools!” Mayor Tomas yelled at the hunters.

”Wrong!ʼ Tang Shaoyang instantly refuted Tomas Connʼs claim, ”I am not using them, I am convincing them to step up for themselves! For their future! Your tyranny will end today, Tomas cock!”

Amidst the exchange, suddenly a scream resounded. Everyone looked at the scream and saw a guard stabbed to a guard, ”This is my chance! Do you think I donʼt know that you have been raping my wife until she suicided?” It turned out to be a guard who stabbed the Captain Guard, ”I have been waiting for this chance. The chance to avenge my wife!” After saying that, the guard pulled out the sword and pierced the Captain Guardʼs neck. Then the guard swung the sword to the side, tearing apart the neck, ”My Love! I have finally avenged you!” The guard yelled to the sky.

Tang Shaoyang was shocked by how twisted these people were. The superiors slept with their subordinatesʼ wives, not just one but more. He did not know how, but there was a loud voice that resounded throughout the square, ”End the tyranny!”

”END THE TYRANNY!” Hundreds of hunters followed afterward. The booming shouts gave a shudder even to Tang Shaoyangʼs body. He expected nothing from them, he was just having fun messing up with Mayor Tomas. He did not think this would work.

Ashley cast a strange look at the man and Selena was smiling, She expected and believed this would work. She believed her man.

—This is absurd. That was a lame speech, how could that work?

Rosalie was in a state of disbelief.

Just like that, chaos ensued in the central square of Biaska Town as the hunters charged at the guard and some guards even helped the hunters to fight the guards. Mayor Tomas not only mistreated the hunters, but also his own people.

”Tang!” Mayor Tomas bellowed furiously.

”I am here!” Tang Shaoyang appeared in front of Mayor Tomas with his battle-ax. He used [Flash Step] to achieve this and he slammed the battle-ax downward, toward Mayor Tomasʼ head.
