Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 608 World 66

"She fainted?" Catherine frowned, glanced at Stella beside her, and said in a relatively gentle tone, "Go and get a doctor to take a look."

"Yes."

As soon as one of the servants left, and fewer people were left guarding the area, a loud-voiced man stepped forward from the crowd of onlookers: "What are you running for? You hit someone and you think you can just run away?"

Stella lifted the curtain slightly, glanced outside, and turned to ask, "Catherine, have we run into a setup?"

“Perhaps,” Catherine instructed the guards outside, “that those who talk nonsense should remember to shut up. It’s not our problem, so don’t pin it on us.”

"If the Eugene family's reputation is ruined, he won't be able to afford the compensation."

"Also, ask who's in charge here and let their mayor handle it."

A reply came immediately from outside: "Yes, Miss."

Soon, the loud-voiced man stopped speaking, and the surrounding onlookers who had been discussing the matter suddenly fell silent.

Even the town's mayor was dragged over. After smiling obsequiously at Catherine, he grabbed the loud-voiced man and slapped him across the face.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully! These are nobles from the royal city. Take your little brat and get out of here!"

"Wait," Catherine said, listening to the loud-voiced man outside offering a frantic apology, then seeing the little beggar staggering to his feet. Her sharp gaze swept over the mayor. "Is this how you deal with things?"

The mayor's face twitched, but he didn't flinch or dodge. He cupped his hands in a smile at Catherine and said, "Is this young lady still not satisfied?"

Catherine chuckled lightly: "You all think I'm a fool, and you even ask me why I'm not satisfied."

At Catherine's signal, the mayor was kicked in the chest by Eugene's guards, and he was so painful that he couldn't get up from the ground.

"Miss, Miss, I was wrong. I'll deal with it again right now."

The loud-voiced man shouted, "Brother-in-law, I do everything you say!"

The mayor's face darkened, and he ordered the arriving guards: "Gag him and break his legs!"

The guards obeyed his orders and immediately stepped forward.

The town mayor, seeing this scene, felt no pity whatsoever. Clutching his chest, he walked to the carriage and asked obsequiously, "Miss, do you think this is a good solution?"

Before Catherine could speak again, fearing a beating, he simply introduced himself: "Miss, this is a fiefdom under the Eugene family. I only took office with the Duke of Eugene's approval. Even if you are angry, please spare my life, okay?"

Stella raised an eyebrow, gently tugged at Catherine's sleeve, and whispered, "Is this really your family's fiefdom?"

Catherine's expression was not good, because that was indeed the case.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so arrogant in other people's places, just opening her mouth and ordering the town mayor to be dragged over directly.

Originally, she planned to show Stella how well her family managed their fiefdom, and then secretly tell Stella that it belonged to her family, mainly hoping to hear praise.

Unexpectedly, this time they really did give it a good show, but in the opposite way.

"It's because of people like you that the Eugene family's reputation has been tarnished. Duke Eugene will thank me for getting rid of you."

Seeing that Catherine didn't even give face to the Eugene family, the mayor stopped kneeling, stood up, took out a bell-shaped magical artifact, and shouted, "Listen to my orders, go and take them down!"

As soon as he said that, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and even the local townspeople hesitated to stop Eugene's guards from taking action.

At this moment, it was the little beggar who had first tried to stage an accident who shouted, "Miss, run! The people in this town have been taken into custody. They all listen to the mayor. He'll kidnap you and sell you. Run!"

"You ungrateful brat!" The mayor's eyes widened, furious, but he knew the little beggar was nothing to fear, so he still ordered his men to take down Catherine and the others first.

Stella thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?"

“No need,” Catherine said, lifting the curtain and standing outside the carriage.

Although Stella didn't go to see it, she could sense from the active magical elements in the air which basic spells Catherine had used.

The townspeople dared to fight the guards because ants could kill an elephant.

They were short-handed when facing magicians, especially those like Catherine who could use a lot of magic.

Although they were under control and had to obey the mayor, how powerful could an ordinary person like the mayor be? He couldn't possibly control the thoughts of all the townspeople, so it was inevitable that these people would slack off.

After the mayor and the magical artifacts he used to control people were taken away, the townspeople were all obediently locked up together.

Catherine returned with a grim expression: "I'm sorry, Stella, we'll have to stay in this town a little longer. I've already told my father, and he'll personally bring people over to check on the situation."

“It’s alright,” Stella said. “I should be glad that I’m with you, Catherine. Otherwise, if I were to go to a place like this on my own, I might easily fall into a trap without even realizing it.”

Catherine's expression relaxed slightly, but she still looked unpleasant.

Catherine didn't let her out; instead, she ordered a servant to drive a carriage and take her to a clean inn to rest.

Stella was very cooperative and didn't interfere in the matter at all.

Once they arrived at the hotel and closed the door, Stella immediately picked up a book to read.

It wasn't that she wasn't curious, but the incident had only just occurred, and even Catherine might not know the specifics, let alone anyone else.

Getting involved now is less desirable than waiting until Catherine and the others have finished dealing with it; at least then we'll know the outcome.

Moreover, Catherine wouldn't leave her alone.

dong dong dong.

A knock sounded on the door.

Stella slowly turned a page of her book: "Please come in."
