Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

In an instant, Noor Ghana's tear glands collapsed.

Like a dry rag, every last bit of his assets had been squeezed out, but even so, he still had no intention of stopping.

Compared to the people who were driven into despair by Noor Ghana's harsh rule, this is nothing.

Noor Ghana's knees hit the ground and his forehead was pressed against the ground.

"Please stop here! I have already taken out my retirement savings. If I borrow more money..."

"What are you talking about? How can I terminate this auction without permission? This would be very unfair to Minister Goering."

"If you are really in such a dilemma, you can just give up. I didn't force you to make an offer. I have no problem reaching a contract with Minister Goering."

He was grinning like a mischievous child.

"This... How can this be possible?"

"Hahahaha! Shut up, you rubbish! I will kill you!" Goering, who had completely lost his mind and was only concerned about defeating Nur Ghana, laughed wildly at the top of his lungs.

Surrounded by a severe feeling of nausea, Nur Ghana suddenly started wheezing and vomiting.

It seems that his mind and body are reaching their limits.

"Okay, now you two can write the IOU. Remember to sign it. I will decide who will win the bid based on the amount you write on the IOU."

As soon as he took the paper and pen, Goering began to write at a speed that was completely unimaginable in his normal work.

“Ah…mmmm…Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Can't lose! Absolutely can't lose!

——Nur Gana roared in his heart, and he also used all his strength to write the IOU as quickly as possible.

A moment later, Hull got the IOU written by the two.

Within an hour, Goering and Noor Ghana staked their entire fortunes on the auction.

Even if they manage to keep their status, huge loans are waiting for them for the rest of their lives.

Of course, there can only be one winner, and the one who wins will bear everything, while the only thing waiting for the loser is destruction.

“Ooo ...

The moment she handed over the IOU, Nur Ghana burst into tears.

When he came to his senses, his mind was blank - why did it become like this, why did it become like this...

"What are you sentimental about? It's so disgusting..." Hull spread out the IOUs between the two.

Noor Ghana is in debt of three hundred and seventy-nine platinum coins.

Goering was in debt of three hundred and sixty-eight platinum coins.

In the end, Nur Ghana won the auction with a sky-high price of 752 platinum coins.

After hearing the final result, Goering was calmer than expected - no, he seemed to have lost his soul. He sat there blankly, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Lord Nur Gana, you should be happy. You are the winner who has the last laugh. In another day, Major General Masayin will be here. Time is running out. Let's sign the contract now."

He took out the magic contract that he had prepared long ago from his arms.

Having said this, Hull filled in the amount on the contract and handed the contract to Nur Ghana.

"Contract magic can only be established with the consent of both parties. You'd better check if there are any incomplete parts."

"..."

Nur Gana didn't say anything. He pulled the magic contract and began to check and correct it word by word.

At the end of the day, a man like Noor Ghana would not trust anyone other than himself in such matters.

After looking at it carefully for a long time, Nur Gana was finally sure that this was a contract without any loopholes.

The content was impeccable, the meaning was clear and there were no hidden dangers, but Noor Ghana still looked at Hull with trepidation.

"Um...why is the name on the contract not yours, but Moina's?"

Yes, this is the only strange thing. The name of the party signing the contract is not Helheim's.

"I am a germaphobe and don't like smelly things. How could I touch the dirty money in your hand? This money needs to be soaked in a hot bath. Only after it is washed clean can I take it over. This is also your favorite risk avoidance, Lord Nur Gana, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Heer smiled devilishly and continued to explain calmly.

"Think about it, our transaction is in a gray area in the empire. If it is investigated, it will inevitably cause trouble. Therefore, we must work hard on the necessary covert work, which is what you, Lord Nur Gana, often call risk avoidance. I am also learning from you."

"..."

He completely unilaterally avoided his own risks, but left Noor Gana with a mess. If anyone were to investigate afterwards, he and Moyna would become scapegoats.

"Don't worry, sign your name, and I will give you the original document tomorrow. After all, I just found an agent, and the contract magic itself is still valid."

But Noor Ghana still did not take any action.

Hull sighed and said, "If you are still reluctant, just give this contract to Minister Goering. I think he will sign it immediately."

Hearing this, Goering regained his energy: "Give it to me! I'll sign it! I'll sign it right away!"

Just like a devil trying to break out of a cage, Goering was as excited as a rabbit with red eyes. As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, he didn't need to make any calm judgment.

In a sense, he has gone completely insane.

"I'll give you five more seconds. Five... four... three..."

"I'll sign it! I'll sign it right away!"

After a moment's thought, Nur Gana held the contract close to his body and signed his name on the last page.

Heer took the document handed over by Noor Ghana, scanned it and nodded: "The original will be delivered later."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the spiral staircase.

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going now?!"

"I'm very busy and don't have any extra time to waste on you." Hull turned his head and glanced at Nur Gana. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

——Sure enough, the previous enthusiasm was all pretended.

After Hull left, Noor Ghana staggered back to his room as if his soul had left his body.

He couldn't even remember who treated his broken finger, he had long forgotten the pain.

He was in such a dazed state that he didn't even notice the passage of time. He still sat at his desk until sunset, staring blankly out the window at the setting sun sinking into the horizon, and the darkness controlling the entire world.

Not long after, the sun rose again in the east, and its rays shone on the golden desert.

With a bang, his office door was opened, and Lassoro slapped the original copy of the policy plan on his desk.

Turning around, he saw the famous paintings that were framed and hung on the wall, the wands in the collection cabinet, and the marble sculptures used as decorations - all his collections, including wands and any valuables, had been moved out.

All I got in return was this document, lying quietly on the desk.

——This is the future that Nur Ghana has staked everything on, a heavily indebted Archon Agent.

"Ha ha ha ha ha...."

Noor Ghana smiled.

Picking up the document, Nur Ghana felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

——Won, he won in the end!

After all, money is just one thing. As long as he can keep his position as acting governor, the entire East Territory will be his back garden.

Money will grow naturally like fruits and leaves, he just needs to take the time to harvest it.

As long as he could keep his position, sooner or later, this office would be filled up again.

"So, what should we do next?"

Sitting in the empty office, Noor Ghana muttered to himself. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but he felt a loneliness he had never felt before.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to take this document to the dungeon and show it off to Goering as a victor.

That guy even gambled everything in order to defeat me, but in the end he just became a stepping stone.

"I'm really looking forward to what kind of expression that guy will have when he sees the document in my hand..."

Just thinking about it makes Noor Ghana feel excited.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door louder than ever before.

“Excuse me…” Noor Ghana’s chief secretary’s eyes widened as he walked into the office.

“This…!? What happened?!”

The secretary looked around and the whole office looked like it had been ransacked.

"…Nothing, just let it go."

"...But those are all treasures that you have collected over the years, my lord!"

"So annoying! Who do you think caused this? It's all because of you, a useless guy, that this policy document has been preserved until today!"

Noor Ghana grabbed the other man by the collar and spitted everywhere.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

"If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have turned out like this. If you say this bullshit to me again next time, I'll pull your tongue out!"

"Ah...yes! I'm so sorry!"

“Hehehe…hehehe…”

Seeing the secretary's submissive look, Nur Gana regained the pride of a superior.

The corners of his mouth rose, he let go of the other person's collar with both hands, and considerately patted the dust off the other person's shoulders.

"very good..."

Happy...very happy...that's how it should be.

"Hello, who am I?"

"what?"

"You are asking who I am! Tell me loudly!"

Once again, Noor Ghana grabbed the other person by the collar.

"Um...you are the acting senior governor of the East Territory, Lord Nur Gana!"

"That's right!" Nur Gana let go of the other person, but his eyes were full of fanaticism.

"I am the acting governor of this East Territory, the most powerful person in this territory. That good-for-nothing who stays in the Sky Palace and throws money around and takes bribes is just a figurehead! I am the actual ruler of this territory. I am! I am! I am!"

Noor Ghana waved his arms and roared as if he was speaking to an invisible audience.

"..."

"Huh? Why aren't you applauding yet?!" Nur Gana turned his head and looked at the other person.

With sweat on his forehead, the secretary immediately forced a smile upon hearing this.

Clap clap clap.

Enjoying the warm applause, Noor Ghana looked dazed.

Great... This is me...

As if to dispel the nightmare brought by Helheim, Nur Gana frantically drew nourishment from his own title, just to nourish his almost dried up self-esteem and pride.

"Starting tomorrow, all officials in East Territory will need to hold a morning meeting together."

"……what?"

"I have to make those idiots who can't understand how great I am give me a compliment every morning!"

"Well...but everyone has a lot of work to do every morning..."

These words immediately touched Noor Ghana's sensitive nerves.

With a "slap", Nur Ghana gave the secretary a loud slap.

"Listen to me, show me respect and loyalty. This is your most important job! Do you understand?"

"Yes, you are right. However, Major General Masayin is almost here. I am here to inform you that you must line up outside the city to welcome him..."

"Hahahaha! I was just worried that he wouldn't come! Let's go!"

At the city gate, almost all the officials of East County were already lined up and waiting.

Nur Ghana arrived the latest, but looking at the neat queue in front of him, it was as if they were welcoming him, and his mood instantly became even better.

"Where's the band?" Noor Ghana walked into the crowd without even looking up.

"…It has been deployed in advance."

Gilder responded to questions raised by Noor Ghana.

However, the dissatisfied expression on the other party's face made him very unhappy - he would have to find an opportunity to teach this guy a lesson later.

"This is the first time that Major General Masayin has come to our East Territory in person. The first impression is very important. We must entertain him specially. Do you understand?!"

"..."

"Hey! I didn't hear your answer!?"

Noor Ghana shouted at Gilder with his face flushed.

At this moment, an elite cavalry team had approached from the yellow sand outside the city.

"Tsk... I'll settle with you later! Everyone else! Don't just stand there! Clap! The band, play! Hurry up!"

While Nur Gana was still giving orders, a black-armored knight had already rode up to him.

The knight swung his lance against Nur Ghana's throat.

The cavalrymen who arrived later surrounded the other officials who were blocking the door.

"What...what does this mean...?!"

The black-armored knight ignored him. Then, surrounded by a brigade of cavalrymen, an old veteran with an eye patch on his left eye and a body as strong as a brown bear came up on a fiery red warhorse.

"Ah! Major General Masayin...! Well, we are here to welcome you! Please don't misunderstand--"

"Tied!"

The old general with an eye patch shouted the order, and the knights behind him dismounted and tied up Nur Gana.

The other officials standing alongside Noor Gana also knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, with the cold tips of guns pressing against their backs.

These knights and soldiers all exuded the smell of blood. There was no doubt that they were all strong soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line.

Those who were brought here by Major General Masayin are definitely the elite among the elite, and no one present dared to resist.

——Unless you are seeking death.
