Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2294
Below the stage, a man appeared exceedingly nervous, his expression flustered. On the whole, it seemed that he was seized with panic.
“You’ve got to be careful, buddy. It looks like Chief is really not joking around this time.”
“That’s right. He won’t be letting you off so easily since he has even brought the witness here.”
A few people at the side cautioned Caiden’s attacker with a trace of worry on their faces.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to attend today’s meeting. As the village chief, I’ve lived in this place for decades. From its impoverished days in the past to its current status as a civilized village, I’ve always had a clear conscience toward all of you. I once swore that I would never allow anyone in this village to tarnish the simplicity of this beautiful place…”
The village chief spoke at length. Most of it was foreshadowing but anyone with half a mind would be able to guess his next course of action.
At long last, the village chief straightened himself and slowly walked to the middle of the stage. He then gazed at the villagers in the audience with an imposing expression.
“Therefore, those who beat up the tourist that day and clamored for a fight must leave this village today. Our village cannot accommodate such formidable people!” he declared loudly.
In a flash, the people below the stage went into an uproar.
“Has Chief gone mad? He’s actually kicking out fellow villagers for the sake of an outsider?”
“Exactly! We’re family; how could he do that?”
“Could it be that the two tourists bribed him?”
All the young villages looked at their chief in disdain. Conversely, the older villagers were far more open-minded.
“Chief, it’s all their fault! It has nothing to do with anyone else!” a man from among the crowd shouted.
What a joke! They’re here as guests. Which guest would cause a fight the moment they arrive at their destination? Sneering, the village chief stroked his beard and pretended not to have heard anything.
