Chapter 702 - Get Out!

And so just like that, the Gustav family found themselves wailing for their wealth.

Their pictures were quickly taken, and even their fingerprints were kept as well.

Because even though there was no fingerprint recognition technology yet, their fingerprints were kept for future use.

That way, when Baymard's technology advances, they wouldn't have to worry about any criminals or banned citizens.

Anyway, any DNA samples useful in identifying them in future were properly taken and stored.

As for their pictures, the ports will have them on file and ensure that they never come back again.

And by the time that they aged and grew old... even if they tried to return, Landon was sure that by then fingerprint scanning machines and other advanced techs would be available.

The Gustav family, who had now been recognized as the Gust family, were heavily escorted to the bank where all their money was.

They cleared their entire account, packed all their belongings and got thrown out of Baymard very quickly.

And as for the hundreds of guards that they had brought with them, they were told to properly ensure and guarantee that the Gust family safely arrived in the Capital or they would face their new ruler's wrath.

Hearing that their new ruler had spies properly watching them, they all decided to behave themselves on this trip back.

Additionally, they were also told to not touch, steal or brazenly take a single penny from the Gust family while journeying back.

Of course, Landon had planned to show up and perform some ninja tactics once in a while on their 4-month journey just to make these knights know that they were secretly being watched at all times.

This would undoubtedly keep them on their toes.

.

One should know that all of their property and wealth in the Capital had been confiscated.

So the money they had right now was all they got.

With that said, if they were smart enough, they could properly buy a nice cottage house in the Capital, and get some furniture, pots and other things as well.

They could also plan out a second life by investing in farming or even raising chickens by themselves.

Gustav could even start as a lowly peasant merchant if he properly planned and budgeted things right.

They could also sell all the fancy clothes that they had bought de Baymard, as well as all the fancy clothes in their estate in the Capital.

Yup!

Their clothes, beddings and toiletries were the only things that they would be allowed to take from their estate.

Except for the carriages that bore the n.o.ble Gustav family carvings on them, the horses that they were using to journey towards Baymard would still be given to them.

So they could buy wagons and sell their goods around the streets just like some peasants did.

In fact, they had a lot of start-up money for peasants.

If they properly planned out everything, they could live off what they had las ordinary for an entire year.

But something told Landon that they might squander it all within a month instead.

Did these people look like they could even eat ordinary peasant rations?

They would probably be more concerned with keeping appearances and making a comeback instead.

But well, he had extended all his courtesy towards them as per Lucy's request.

So whatever they became after this would be entirely their fault.

.

As for why Landon decided to make the entire Baymard watch the video, it was because he didn't want the Gustav family to start spreading flag rumours about Lucy.

Because even if he clarified the matter after that, her name would've already been tarnished.

Sure, the matter would be cleared up.

But because some people might initially doubt Lucy, tiny seeds of doubt would soon be planted into their hearts.

Humans were just like that.

Even back on earth, some celebrities had faced this same problem too.

Some celebrities had been reported on the news for 'allegedly' beating their ex-wives or doing something scandalous.

They would get booed and might even lose their jobs when the truth of the matter hadn't been clarified yet.

And even if it turned out that they were truly innocent when the truth came to light, some people might still choose to believe that they were guilty instead.

Undoubtedly, that would forever be in their records, guilty or not.

And if more rumours or conspiracies of that nature came about, then their reputations would diminish further since most people would feel like there was no 'smoke without fire'.

So it was always best to put rumours to rest by outsmarting your enemy once and for all.

The fact that he gave out Lucy's background story and showed her family's real face to the entire world before the enemies could even talk or back themselves up, would make everyone swing their way.

Therefore, no matter how they clarified the matter or tried to act pitifully, they had already lost.

All because they didn't strike first!

They were made so speechless that they couldn't even think of a perfect defensive excuse to deny or free themselves of these allegations.

So what more could they do?

.

"Boo!

Get out of our empire!

Get out of Baymard!

Get out!"

"Boo!"

(*^*)

The Gust family was mercilessly ridiculed and forced out of Baymard hurriedly.

Of course, how could the reporters let this opportunity go?

They all ran up to them and tried to break through the guards who were escorting them out.

"Sir!

Do you regret not treating your daughter well?"

"Madam!

How do you feel knowing that your grand plans didn't come together as you thought?"

"Madam, are you the one who encouraged your daughters to shamelessly seduce his majesty Landon?

Did you personally teach them those tricks?

And is that how you got together with your husband?"

"Missies!

When you both tried to seduce his majesty earlier on, why did the 2 of you secretly pinch each other on film?

Is it because you both were competing against each other too?"

"Young man!

Now that you peed yourself on national Tv, are you afraid that others will see you as a coward?

And why did you hide behind your mother in the video when the princess's guards appeared?

Can you please tell us how you feel?"

"Sir!

Will you let the fact that you've been publicly disgraced go, or will you be planning revenge instead?"

"Sir! Sir! Sir!"

"Madam! Madam! Madam!"

(Y^Y)

Landon watched everything from his monitors and sighed from relief.

Now that he had properly taken care of his in-laws, it was time to prepare for the big wedding.

That's right!

He was talking about the wedding of Josh, Gary, Trey and Mark, his 4 brothers for life.

Amidst Landon's preparations, Baymard was still filled with gossip about the dramatic scenes between his in-laws.

But Baymard wasn't the only place that was filled with Drama at the moment.

Far away, several empires were experiencing Drama too.
