"NO! MY LOCK!!!"

Pareji stared blankly at her lock that had been broken into two pieces.

This is an iron lock specially blessed with magic to prevent someone from stealing her few possessions!

It was obvious that the keyhole had signs of being pried with wires.

But it didn't pry open, and it was cut off with a sword. This may mean that... the bastard who picked the lock at the beginning still had some conscience...

Pareki stood stupidly in front of the house where she had not yet paid off the loan.

I'm so stupid, really.

These two bastards suddenly ran away and disappeared. They must have been holding back their bad blood and were waiting to come to the royal city to cause trouble!

Look, my house has been confiscated by these two bastards!

Pareki pushed the door open angrily.

What came into view was a group of vicious uncles in aprons, mingling among a group of children.

"Hurry up, let me tell you, our clothes have to be washed like this to get them clean!"

"Don't be lazy for me. Those who have washed the clothes should go to the backyard to dry them, wash one piece and change it to a new one! You who are lazy don't have new clothes to wear! Jie Jie Jie!"

Pareki stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

A group of tall, muscular-looking guys who looked like criminals at first glance were wearing pink aprons and threatening a group of children with language that sounded like fairy tales.

The young faces of these children were full of smiles that could not be hidden.

Cork, realizing that someone was coming, turned to look.

"Are you Miss Paley?"

Pareki nodded.

As Corker shouted, all the children stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Sister Pareki!"

Pareji's mouth twitched.

Damn, moral kidnapping, right?

Facing a group of children, Pareji had nowhere to vent her resentment, so she could only curse the two bastards silently in her heart.

A smile appeared on her face, "You're welcome, you're welcome, this is my home... Just stay here. If you need anything, just ask my sister."

Corker's eyes lit up.

"Miss Pareki, the boss said you are a good person, and now it turns out that it is true!"

"Please help take care of these children, we have other tasks to do."

Pareki: "???"

In a daze, the faces of two bastards appeared on Pareki's mind.

One bastard said, "If Pareki comes, these kids can be left in her care."

Another bastard said: "Remember to let the children say thank you, Pareki is soft-hearted and will not refuse."

Damn the goat.

Pareji's mouth twitched.

Cork and the others took off their aprons and prepared to leave.

When Cork passed by Pareki, Pareki asked, "What do those two people want to do?"

Cork thought for a moment and said.

"The boss said... the sky in this royal city is not clear enough, and he will not be comfortable living there in the future."

Pareki was stunned.

His Highness Li Wei has returned to his loyal royal city, right?

"But how could he do it?"

"How could he do it?"

The water in the royal city is very deep, and beneath the intricate veins are stubborn stains formed by hundreds of years.

The foundation is already rotten and cannot get any worse.

Those who dared to stand up and resist have been buried in unknown sewers and ground into dregs.

In the current royal city.

The only option other than fighting is to join the others, and only in this way can we take root here.

No idealist can break this situation.

There will be no rationalist who will stand up and fight for the so-called fairness and justice, or light and virtue.

Just living is tiring enough...

too tired...

Pareki's hands trembled slightly, and suddenly, she seemed to have a strange feeling. What was going on?

I...seem to be numb.

"Miss Pareki, the boss asked me to bring you a message."

Pareki suddenly came to her senses, "What?"

Cork said seriously, "If you can't handle these kids, bring Lilith over."

Pareji: "..."

Newborn! ! !

When will you stop persecuting Lilith!

then...

"Sister Pareki, who are they?" Lilith looked at these children blankly.

The children who received Palegi's instructions all bowed to Lilith, "Thank you, sister Lilith!"

"Ehhhhh?"

Lilith was stunned. Looking at these children, she said timidly, "I...I don't know how to look after children."

Pareki nodded, "Lilith, do you want to find a friend to come with you?"

After Lilith came back, his family did not take any action for the time being. Moreover, during the period of living in the dormitory, Lilith briefly had some communication with the children in the dormitory next door.

This kid seems to be a good candidate.

then...

"Thank you, Sister Iris!"

Iris was completely shocked.

She took half a step back in fear and tried to escape, but Pareji grabbed her and said, "You and Lilith are here to help. Teacher, I have something else to do, so come on!"

The words fell.

Pareki ran away decisively.

It feels so good to leave things to others!

Pareji's little hands were holding the corners of her clothes, and she cast a pleading look at Lilith, but when Lilith looked back at her, she hurriedly lowered her head.

Lilith, who realized that she was already a big child and could take care of others, suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

But she can't escape either.

She's gone...there's really no one here.

Lilith took a deep breath and looked at Iris with a smile, "Well... come on!"

She encouraged Iris, and by the way, encouraged herself, and walked towards the group of children.

"What are you going to do now?" Lilith asked curiously.

"Washing clothes!" one child replied.

Lilith immediately rolled up her sleeves.

Iris has not yet realized the situation.

Or just run away...

But...

A few minutes later.

"Sister, why don't you take a rest first?"

I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore...

These two sisters are so useless!

They sighed, "Sister, we teach you, you watch, how clothes should be washed..."

Iris looked at them and suddenly realized something. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "She... where is she?"

The children instantly realized who Iris was talking about.

"Her brother was taken away for treatment, and she went too."

Iris heard the sound and asked in confusion, "Have you...been...here?"

"No, we just came here, before we..."

As if it were commonplace, Lilith and Iris listened to things that were enough to make them angry.

Lilith clenched her fists but didn't say anything. It sounded like Levi had done this. Even if she was angry, she didn't have to do anything. She could just wait for Levi to arrange it.

And Iris has a complicated expression.

It turns out...I didn't help you...

...

One report after another was published by the Wangcheng newspaper.

Things that many people have heard of, or haven't heard of, but haven't come into contact with, have sprung up in one night.

It's like it is.

Everyone felt that the branches were criss-crossed and could not be pulled apart no matter how hard they were pulled, let alone that there would be no nutrients for the new branches to grow. The big tree would no longer be able to sprout new branches.

There's another fucking tree growing next to it.

Since there is no way to blend in with them, just build another circle.

Socializing, what's the point of socializing in a circle? It would be great to build another one, where everyone can exchange experiences and ask each other whether their mother is still alive.

then.

All the nobles gathered together.

In the glorious conference room, everyone sitting in front of the round table is a powerful person with a pivotal position in the royal city.

They opened their mouths and spoke freely.

"What's going on? Why can these things be published?"

Another person laughed and said, "Don't you know what the Royal City Newspaper Agency is? They are just a bunch of bastards who are just looking for popularity!"

The Demon King's Card, the Goat House, and that ridiculous-sounding Demon King-chan.

idol?

What rubbish, just something for children to play with.

These insignificant things were directly ignored by them. There was only one thing everyone wanted to talk about.

That is...

These people all looked at the church's external spokesperson, a bishop.

The bishop's expression was dark and silent.

Someone laughed sarcastically, "You actually do such a sneaky thing...Is it because those fools didn't give you enough money?!"

The bishop sneered, "It's just that there was an unruly person under his command, and he has been dealt with."

Hearing what the bishop said, the others couldn't help but look at him curiously.

"What are you going to do? We don't care, but they are planning to build an orphanage. This is clearly aimed at you."

The bishop shook his head.

"They can't do it."

"Because...the goddess won't allow it."

"and..."

The bishop spoke easily.

"That person seems too naive."

"He could have used those children as evidence, or he could have had those two people accuse us."

"But it's a pity."

The bishop's words were full of arrogance, "He's afraid, he doesn't dare to do this!"

"He missed his best opportunity."

"He...has failed!"

After the words fell, the bishop looked at these people, "What about you?"

"They are recruiting civilians, which is a more obvious attempt."

One person shrugged.

"Then let's recruit them. I've already found out their details."

"Since they're going to burn money, we don't have to do anything."

"Perhaps production capacity will be reduced in a short period of time, but they will also destroy themselves soon."

"And, from the beginning, they have failed."

They have become accustomed to sprouts growing out of them, but how can sprouts grow without nutrients and soil?

Any outsider, any budding attempt to resist, will be suppressed until everyone forgets.

...

"Then...please cooperate!"

Levi shook hands with the person in front of him.

So in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, the shop named by Shengta was bought by Li Wei.

But now he has very little money left that he can mobilize from the Chamber of Commerce.

"Our family is almost out of money." Zofia sighed, "You are such a waste!"

The money you finally earned simply flew away from your hands, and there is a high probability that you will never get it back.

"If you don't want to let go of the wolf, you won't be able to trap the child."

Levi comforted Zofia softly, "Everything will be possible."

After receiving a guy named Horus, he successfully purchased several shops in the royal city.

Some nobles immediately sent people to the Holy Tower, hoping to find a reason for them.

because...

There is no way they can sell to this person in these stores!

However, if you buy it in the name of the Holy Tower, there will be no obstacles and the purchasing process will go as smoothly as possible!

You know they are holy towers!

The light of humanity!

Everything they do is done in the name of the Holy Light, and even the church has to take a detour in front of them.

The Holy Tower was crowded with people before, but they were blocked by the Holy Tower's guards.

"Everyone, this is the decision of the Holy Tower, and this is for the Holy Light!"

Everyone who heard this was instantly angry, "You actually favor an outsider!"

"Where has your credibility gone?"

The guard looked at them with an evil expression, "Are you questioning the Holy Light?"

Everyone was stunned.

Left angrily.

The news that this foreign chamber of commerce successfully purchased the store spread to some people's ears.

As for their decision, there is only one decision.

Everyone under his command is prohibited from working in this foreign chamber of commerce.

With such an arrogant decision, they couldn't help but want to see someone hit his head with blood!

Let this scene...accelerate!

...

Passers-by on the street only glanced briefly at the recruitment notices placed in front of the shops that were about to be renovated, and then left in a hurry.

Although the pay is much better than their current job.

Levi was sitting in one of the shops, drinking coffee leisurely.

After a while, Zofia walked into the store.

She came to him, grabbed the coffee he was drinking, and drank it all.

"Huh... I've investigated everything for you."

"The Brandon family controls the water conservancy in the royal city."

"The Ashe family that controls the civil construction of the royal city."

"And business..."

"Each family has a large number of stores in its hands."

"As for the banking industry, it is monopolized by the royal family...the pig's uncle Berner on the throne."

"besides."

Zuofia looked at Levi.

"Apart from the Royal Army, the one with the largest number of troops is... the Biyang family."

Levi was stunned for a moment.

"Wait a minute, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in Hughes is still a young master?"

Zofia nodded.

"Not before I left, not even during the last Holy War."

"But... during these days, they began to recruit a large number of soldiers. Most of the knights who graduated from the Royal City Academy were taken over by the Biyang family."

"So much so that most of the security work in the royal city is actually handled by their family."

"Then, the Biyang family may be able to take action."

Levi shook his head.

"not needed for now."

He stood up slowly.

Went outside the store.

Looking at the job notice, the salary was already more than 10% of the average salary, and thought about it carefully.

Cross it out.

People passing by stopped for a moment, and the few people who lurked in the darkness and observed him silently were all shocked after Levi got up and left.

Ten percent...a full increase of ten percent! And there is a charter certification from the Holy Tower on the notice.

The doubled salary made many people stop in shock.

"You...are such a waste!"

Zofia couldn't help but said, "Our family doesn't have that much money to burn!"

Levi smiled and shook his head.

"I don't plan on burning it for too long."

"After all...I won't live until that time."

Zuofia was silent for a moment, after realizing what Levi was doing.

She grabbed Levi's arm, raised her head, looked at him angrily, and said firmly.

"I won't let you die!"

Li Wei took out a piece of paper, and then took out a gold coin and placed it on the paper.

"Look, this piece of paper is me."

"Look again, this gold coin is my enemy."

"Do you think I can beat them?" Levi smiled and shook his head, "No."

"I have so little that I can't beat them."

"So all I can do is..."

With a chirp, the match lit up Zofia's eyes.

Then, the piece of white paper began to burn, so dazzling!

"Just... blind their eyes!"

...

night.

All shops affiliated with the Newborn Dongxi Chamber of Commerce have raised the salary of their employees to three times the average salary.

at the same time...

Even the Wangcheng newspaper office rushed out a special issue.

The editor-in-chief made an impassioned special report on the fact that certain people prohibited their employees from changing jobs to join the Newborn Dongxi Chamber of Commerce.

and strongly condemned this behavior.

So much so that he said angrily - they are people, not commodities, let alone a number!

The editor-in-chief even spent his own money to hastily print this special issue and distribute it to everyone for free.

After that, someone wanted to invite the editor to have a cup of tea and talk about family life, but it turned out that the editor was out collecting news and would not be returning to the royal city for a short time.

A strange depressing atmosphere suddenly filled the royal city crazily.

The chat content that used to exist after dinner became more restless.

Just then, the editor-in-chief came back and rushed to print a special issue.

It’s like they’re afraid that things aren’t big enough.

In this special issue, no one is mentioned.

They just released some data fairly.

The crime rate in the royal city...the marriage rate...the unemployment and employment rate...the average consumption level, and even the ever-dwindling minimum wage...

These shameful data are published one by one, which makes people restless.

Just as Levi expected, no one came to work in his shop.

So, Levi closed the store and there were no workers... He couldn't even do the decoration.

Could it be that the so-called entrepreneurship... means being killed by entrepreneurship?

Don't want this kind of thing.

After he sighed, he looked again at the brightly lit royal city at night, so beautiful...so gorgeous.

Then he greeted happily, "Everyone, it's getting late. It's time to go home for dinner."

Seeing no one responded to him, Levi picked his toes in embarrassment, "Since you won't say anything, I wish you all a pleasant night."

In a small house.

People who have finished their day's work finally come home, hugging their wives and kissing them... Oh, they don't have wives.

Then hug the money that you have saved for half your life and kiss it with the money that you have worked hard for... Oh, not only do they have no money, they are also burdened with various loans.

Then.

Just take a look at chicken soup, and as long as you work hard, anything will happen.

Until...they looked at their empty, mottled hands.

Is it...not working hard enough?

He raised his head blankly and began to murmur.

"What am I living for?"

In a daze, they thought of the order issued by their boss, which prohibited job-hopping. Violators must think about the consequences themselves.

then.

They wail in agony.

"It's hard enough for me to live... Why do you still... deprive me of my last dignity..."

Some people smile bitterly in grief.

"No...no...it turns out I don't even have dignity anymore."

Is everything that is taken for granted really taken for granted?

In this silent night, some black ink appeared inexplicably in the bowl of pure white soup.

Until dawn.

Levi took a deep breath of the fresher air, smiled and said hello, "Good morning, Wangcheng!"
