Villain: Glory bows to me

The second person to come to Vito for "questioning" arrived.

He is Franklin, also a fellow countryman of Vito, a simple and kind-hearted baker.

Unlike Johnny, this fellow has always been very kind to Vito. Vito has received a lot of bread made by him since he was a child.

When Vito was a child, he was disliked by his father, who believed that his genius magician was a curse and disaster.

He was often beaten and scolded by his old alcoholic father and even kicked out of the house, and Vito's mother tried her best to protect him.

So Vito hated his bastard father, but he was full of nostalgia and apology for his mother.

Mr. Franklin is one of the few people in the small town of St. Gall who will not discriminate against him.

This old man who is over fifty years old is, to Vito, a good friend who "does not come here admiringly when he is at his peak, and does not turn around and leave when he is at his lowest".

When he was a child, he helped Vito who was about to starve to death several times. After Vito came to Towering City and gained power, he also often sent bread without asking for anything in return.

And when Vito established the Holy City, Franklin was also the first to respond and move his family there.

So for such friends, Vito is definitely willing to do his best to help rather than beat them.

However, this time, Franklin really had no choice, so he came to ask Vito for help.

Vito poured a glass of good wine for his old friend, lit a cigar, and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to feel free to make his request.

After all, Vito understands that asking for help is the most difficult thing in the world, especially an acquaintance.

With Vito's encouragement, Franklin finally plucked up the courage to talk about his difficulties.

"Your Holiness, I really have no choice.

You see, a month ago, a large number of people from the Sun and Moon Kingdom poured into the Huiyuan Kingdom, and some came to Weiwei City.

That kid Lance is from the Kingdom of the Sun and Moon. I thought he was honest and a good person, so I recruited him to work in my bakery..."

"Franklin, how can I help you?"

Vito interrupted Franklin, not because he was unhappy, but what Vito wanted to express was:

"We already have such a relationship, so don't start talking about it from ancient times.

Just one sentence, we don’t need to do so much to pave the way for our relationship as friends. If you raise any difficulties, I will solve them. "

Franklin naturally understood what Vito was thinking, so he directly stated his request.

"My daughter fell in love with Lance's kid and I saw them being affectionate.

That day, my sweet, beautiful daughter was standing by the oven, and Lance pressed her right in front of my face.

The distance between the two of them is only the thickness of a piece of paper. If I don't stop it, the hard long bread stick will enter the burning stove!

well! I tried to chase him away, but my daughter told me that if Lance left she would follow him.

I could only compromise, thinking that Lance was not a bad kid, so I would just make do with it.

But now, the dignitaries are demanding that all Sun and Moon people who have not become residents of the Holy City be repatriated.

That child is a gangster, and the population of the Holy City is full, so there is no way to apply to enter the Holy City. Your Holiness, look at this..."

Franklin's words stopped abruptly. Vito naturally knew what Franklin wanted to express, but he was a little embarrassed to continue.

"Franklin, you want the kid named Lance to stay here and marry your daughter."

Vito directly stated what Franklin was thinking, and Franklin quickly nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, although the population of the Holy City is limited, it is very simple to register as a resident in Weiwei City.

I will give some benefits to those who are officials in the palace and ask them to propose increasing the nominal population of Weiwei City.

This will cost a lot of money, but don't worry, I will help you pay for it. "

Vito's simple words almost settled the matter, and Franklin quickly stepped forward to kiss the back of Vito's hand.

Before leaving, Franklin left a batch of the best quality pastries and said he would invite Vito to the wedding.

Vito naturally saw off the guests with a smile.

After Franklin left, Zhu Shang, who had been watching silently, spoke.

"I don't understand. I think it's too bad for you to help Mr. Franklin. Although you are not short of money, those treasures will be used up sooner or later."

"Don't worry, my sister, I'm not a nouveau riche. I have my own business all over Huiyuan Country."

Vito answered Zhu Shang confidently.

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhu Shang also became interested.

“In Huiyuan, both dignitaries and ordinary people like to participate in gambling.

I use my own wealth to support the establishment of gambling parlors in various places, including horse racing, lottery, roulette... everything.

I control these industries and extract water from them. It is no exaggeration to say that one month's income can feed the people of the entire towering city for a year.

In addition, when Lorraine issued a ban on alcohol, I found someone to cooperate with me to sell illegal alcohol and make huge profits. It can be said that I made a lot of money.

And I have more other businesses, such as the jobs that Chris and Thomas took over.

So don't worry, I'm not short of money.

Besides, I'll spend a little money to let those stinky officials in the palace get a little profit and pass my proposal.

In this way, more people who want to move in will come to me for help, either giving me money or doing things for me.

In this way, I can only make a profit but not lose money, and I can also drag corrupt officials like them into the water and use them as a shield for me.

The more people board my ship, the fewer people will oppose me, and I will be able to better control Huiyuan Country.

Sister, sometimes power and status do not necessarily require the use of strong methods. "

When Vito talked about his opinions, Zhu Shang was already shocked by him.

He didn't expect that this genius magician had already thought so far and had such a big picture.

"You brat...it's a good thing I'm not your enemy."

Zhu Shang couldn't help but sigh.

And Chris quickly invited some of the officials named by Vito.

After some coercion and inducement from Vito, these guys quickly succumbed and boarded Vito's pirate ship.

Of course, they like money, and Vito will not miss their benefits.

Now Vito can say that he is not short of money, but he does not mind having too much money. He can make the best money, but when it is time to spend it, Vito will never be stingy.

According to Vito's own words, if you see a carriage full of gold and silver treasures on the road, you only need to take some of the belongings.

Leave the rest there, and greedy people will naturally digest the rest.

In this way, even if the owner comes to find him, the final blame will fall on those who took the big share and came later.

Although I didn't take much property, at least I gained something and there was no risk.

This is like getting benefits for nothing, so why not do it? Of course there are greedy people who will serve as your shield.

"Okay, let's not talk about these for now. Tell me about the Tribunal of Huiyuan Kingdom. I am very interested."

Zhu Shang changed the topic.

Vito also sat down again and began to talk about the Huiyuan Kingdom Tribunal in his eyes.

The Huiyuan Kingdom is different from the Sun and Moon Kingdom. All cases in the Sun and Moon Kingdom are tried by the local supreme unity, while in Knock City, they are tried by the religious tribunal.

In Huiyuan Kingdom, except for the cases of officials in the palace, which are heard by the king, the cases of everyone else are heard by the tribunals in various places.

Without restraint, these tribunals are essentially corrupt and have an extremely rich arsenal of tactics.

They allow prisoners to have access to the outside world during their trial, including family members and advocates.

It can also lower the requirements for prisoners to be released on bail, and even lower the penalties for prisoners.

After that, these court members accepted money and sex bribes from the prisoners' families.

So in Vito's eyes, these people in the Tribunal are selling themselves out like the cheapest prostitutes on the street.

This has also led to the fact that ordinary people everywhere are not protected by so-called impartial tribunals.

These justices are all for the powerful.

What does it matter if the eldest young master makes a mistake? "Mirror of Absurdity" teaches you how to avoid punishment.

This is why Vito wants to become the patron saint of ordinary people. This corrupt world has given him this perfect opportunity.
