Chapter 29: Aftermath
Shalan was sitting in the ambulance, with Yiwen, who was wearing a coat, sitting next to him. A middle-aged nurse was carefully treating his wounds.
Not long after Shalan and his men defeated the gang leader with a trick, two members of the Secret Mobile Team led the police and garrison troops from Cynthia City into Cynthia Mansion. Under the leadership of the two members of the Secret Mobile Team with extraordinary strength, the gangsters who were just ordinary people had no ability to resist at all and were eliminated in the blink of an eye, and the hostages were rescued.
After dealing with the bandits, the two members of the secret mobile team found Shalan and others, and saw the dying bandit leader lying on the ground. After asking Shalan and others how they defeated him, the two members of the secret mobile team took the dying bandit leader away. As for the mess left here, it had nothing to do with them at all.
After the death of Fred, the mayor of Cynthia, as the highest-ranking official present, Roll became the commander who temporarily commanded the people to retreat safely and undergo inspection. In this way, he gained the gratitude and trust of many nobles in Cynthia, which was a disguised gain.
There were two wounds on Shalan's body. The one on her right shoulder was a penetrating wound caused by the pitch-black spikes, which was slightly serious. The wound on her left leg was scratched by shrapnel from the grenade explosion. It was just a flesh wound. Although she had to get a few stitches, it was not considered serious.
After the wound was bandaged, Shalan jumped out of the ambulance on one leg, but due to physical fatigue, she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was supported by Yiwen. Otherwise, with Shalan's current physical condition, it would not be very comfortable to fall to the ground.
"Mr. Shalan, why don't you stay in the ambulance a little longer."
"Ms. Yiwen, my injuries have been treated, but there are still many people whose injuries have not been treated. Naturally, we have to make way for others. This is already a new era, and it is impossible for the nobles to occupy too many public resources everywhere, right?"
As Shalan finished her words, she suddenly heard a sharp voice nearby. She turned around and saw an aristocratic woman from an unknown family pointing at a nurse and cursing her.
"Do you know who I am? Didn't you see that my arm was injured? What right do these lowly people have to be treated before me? If I get any internal injuries and something happens, can you be responsible?"
The nurse was treating the injuries of a young . The young waiter might have been hit by a stray bullet during the exchange of fire. His entire thigh was pierced and blood was constantly flowing out. There was no way to stop the bleeding for the time being.
After hearing what the noble woman said, the young nurse's face turned pale, and her skillful methods of treating injuries became a little flustered.
Seeing the noble woman who was still not giving in, Yi Wen raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Is that the noble of the new era you just mentioned?"
"Tsk, no matter which era, there are many such people. Even the new era is not immune to this, right?"
As he was talking, Shalan wanted to step forward to stop the female noble from interfering with the nurse treating the patient's injuries. However, before he could go over, someone patted his shoulder. When Shalan turned around, he saw his father Luo Er smiling and whispering to him, "Leave this matter to me! You stay calm here and don't be impulsive."
It has to be said that as the patriarch of an old noble family and the Minister of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Greenland, Roll saw through what Sharan wanted to do at a glance. Although there was nothing wrong with Sharan's idea, as a noble, he could not be too sharp in handling things. Roll's idea was to take this opportunity to teach Sharan a lesson, because in the previous events, Roll had witnessed Sharan's decisiveness and courage. He knew that his eldest son might really inherit the title in the future. Now Roll had begun to want to teach Sharan some ways of dealing with problems among nobles.
However, Luo Er obviously didn't know that the soul of his eldest son Shalan had already reached adulthood and had his own outlook on life and values. His attempt to instill the idea of aristocratic behavior in Shalan was probably doomed to fail.
Luo Er walked up to the chattering noble woman, and after explaining her identity and family, the noble woman immediately restrained her arrogance, and nodded and bowed to Luo Er in a low-key and submissive manner. After Luo Er's persuasion, she finally turned around and left, no longer disturbing the nurse and the patient.
Returning with the respect of the nurses and patients, Luo Er looked at Shalan and said with a smile: "Shalan, you could have handled the matter just now more tactfully. The woman naturally didn't care, but her husband is a baron. As the deputy director of the Xinxia City Police Department, he is also a powerful official.
If we rashly offend her, our Werman family can certainly withstand the dissatisfaction of a baron, but in the long run our Werman family may be isolated, which is definitely not a healthy state for a family, do you understand?"
Although he didn't like what Luo Er instilled in him, Shalan was not a fool. He listened to Luo Er's words and nodded in agreement, which made Luo Er quite happy with Shalan's reaction.
But although Count Roll was very happy, the Countess did not seem to be happy.
Vanessa and Shaman got out of the ambulance. They were not injured, and a basic check-up to make sure there were no hidden problems was enough. However, as soon as they got out of the ambulance, they saw Roll talking to Shalan in a very intimate manner. This made Vanessa, who was already very angry and worried because all the staff had been expelled, even more worried. That kind of friendly look had never been shown on Shaman before!
The hand holding Sandman's arm tightened slightly , and Vanessa immediately pulled Sandman and turned to the other side.
Shaman looked at his mother, who looked unhappy, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, where are we going?"
"The garrison of Cynthia City has also arrived. Your uncle is serving as an adjutant in that garrison. Let's go talk to your uncle. Otherwise, if this continues, you will really have no chance of becoming the earl's heir!"
"But didn't mother find Master Heijiu?"
"Heijiu said he would need at least half a year to prepare the materials. Who knows what will happen in the next six months? I can't bet the future of my mother and me and the Franklin family on Heijiu alone!"
