Chapter 129: Fors’s Dream

Hearing the middle-aged man’s shout and seeing his twisted expression, the fury and hatred in Hazel’s eyes gradually froze, melting into a faint bewilderment and confusion.

It was not only her. Councilman Macht, Madam Liana, and Dawn Dantes beside them likewise fell silent. For a brief while, no one spoke. Even Fors, who was hiding behind cover, lost her earlier excitement and no longer felt such a strong sense of justice.

After more than ten seconds, Macht stopped looking at the attacker. Turning his head, he said to his bodyguards, “One of you stay here. Guard the scene and the criminal while waiting for the police to arrive.”

At this point, he paused for a second, then turned to his personal valet and said, “Notify a few newspaper reporters to come interview this matter.”

Having made preliminary arrangements, the House of Commons member swept his gaze around and saw that quite a few passersby were attempting to gather and see what had happened. He then turned toward Dawn Dantes and gave an apologetic smile.

“I am sorry you had to experience such danger. I never imagined matters would develop to this extent. We actually did consider the practical circumstances of factory owners and mine owners like him, and we provided certain assistance and transitional plans. Who would have thought…”

Designing a plan is one thing. Implementation is another. When controlling air pollution becomes extremely urgent and all sides apply great pressure, the appearance of a one-size-fits-all approach is hardly surprising…

Klein sighed, then said with a self-mocking smile, “There is no need to pay too much attention to my feelings. In the past, I have experienced situations far more dangerous than this.”

On the surface, he was referring to his business experiences in West Balam of the Southern Continent. In truth, however, he was thinking of Megose, who had carried the child of an evil god; the terrifying meteor that had descended from the sky; Cynthia, who had wanted to bear Admiral Amyrius’s child; and the angel of the Rose School of Thought and monster of the Numinous Episcopate who had caused a mountain outside Bayam to collapse.

Compared to those, what had happened just now was like a drop of drizzle falling from midair. The incident itself was not worth paying attention to. Considering the presence of the two bodyguards, Xio and Miss Magician, as well as Hazel, Klein had not even acted. He had merely performed the normal evasive movements of someone experienced.

What he truly cared about was whether this would be followed by a “downpour.”

Macht sighed and nodded.

“I can see that you are very calm.

“I once had some doubt regarding the experiences you spoke of. Now I truly believe them.

“Alright, Dawn, let us return separately. Leave the rest to the police. If they need statements, they will come to your home to take them.”

Klein nodded and said to the Macht family, “Please be careful of your subsequent safety.”

Councilman Macht nodded solemnly and sighed again.

“The Backlund social season has only just begun, and already such a thing has happened… Cherish the peace we still have.”

The Backlund social season was marked by the noble members of the House of Lords returning here. It seemed to have started only last weekend… And this week, two incidents have already happened in succession: the frame-up against Baron Syndras, and the attack against Councilman Macht…

As thoughts scattered through his mind, Klein did not linger. With his visibly frightened personal valet Richardson, he walked toward his own carriage.

After boarding and watching the scenery outside the window slowly recede, Klein silently exhaled and half-closed his eyes.

For now, he could not determine whether Beyonder powers had been involved in this attack, because each part of it could be done and completed by ordinary people. And that middle-aged man’s motive was also sufficiently solid—there was no need to forge such a thing…
