Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros
Chapter 69 Investigation Continues
The aristocracy of Fontaine enjoyed unique privileges at every level of society.
These privileges are like an invisible net that separates them from ordinary people, allowing them to accumulate huge wealth over hundreds of years in ways that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Although the 1 billion Mora donated by Joseph seems to be an astronomical figure, it is actually less than one-fifth of all his assets.
Therefore, the next day after making the donation decision, he sent a check for 10 billion Mora without hesitation, and his frankness was astonishing.
Afterwards, more nobles who were approached by the Western Factory generously "donated" their property.
However, not every noble has such awareness, such as the stubborn Count Grand.
With a thin face and gray hair, he put his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Yide with disdain, with an extremely strong attitude: "Yide, even if you kill me, don't even think about taking a Mora from me.
You bastard, you can't have anything from me!"
Hearing this, Lin Yide did not get angry, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
He slowly said, "Count Grand, since you insist so much, please follow me to the West Factory for a cup of tea. We have plenty of time to talk slowly."
As soon as Lin Yide finished speaking, an unexpected scene happened.
Count Grand suddenly fell to the ground and started to act like a rogue.
He shouted, "Whoever dares to touch me, I will sue you until you go bankrupt!"
At this time, Grand's children, who were not far away, also gathered around after hearing the noise.
When they saw their father lying on the ground, they immediately screamed: "The Western Factory is killing people!"
This scene also surprised Lin Yide.
He didn't expect that these nobles who claimed to be of noble status would actually act like scoundrels and act like scoundrels.
However, he has some means to deal with this tactless old man.
He turned around and ordered the Western Factory guards behind him, "Tie him up with a rope and gag him with a cloth."
As soon as the words fell, they immediately took action.
These Western Factory guards, who came from the Fatui, were quite skilled and decisive in their techniques and actions.
They quickly took out ropes from the equipment they carried, and then several people cooperated tacitly to tie up Count Grand. The whole process took less than a minute.
But because the incident happened suddenly, they did not find a suitable piece of cloth to cover Gran's mouth.
Therefore, despite being tied up and unable to move, Grand continued to yell and curse on the ground. His voice was extremely unpleasant, full of resentment and anger.
Lin Yide looked at this scene, frowned, and said unhappily: "Don't you even wear socks?!"
Hearing this, the guards of the Western Factory were stunned, but soon one or two of them reacted quickly and took off their smelly socks, and then stuffed them into Count Grand's mouth without any hesitation.
Now, Count Grand's shouting and cursing were finally blocked, leaving only his angry eyes and his bound body struggling weakly.
When Grand's children saw this, they started cursing angrily, and their words were even worse than before.
But even though they were harsh in words, no one dared to take actual action.
Lin Yide glanced at them coldly.
At this sight, Ge Lang's children suddenly became silent and dared not make any sound anymore.
Then he turned around and left with the Western Factory guards and Ge Lang.
Just as they reached the door, a team of Shadow Chaser agents in dark uniforms stopped them.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, a hooked nose, and narrow eyes full of gloom, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
"Who are you? There shouldn't be anyone like you in Zhuying Court!" Lin Yide asked calmly.
The middle-aged man did not directly answer Lin Yide's question, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that no one can take Ge Lang away today!"
A smile appeared on Lin Yide's face.
He slowly summoned the silver sword in his hand, the blade flashing with cold light, "I want to know what gave you the courage? How dare you come to stop my West Factory from doing things."
The middle-aged man also pulled out the rapier from his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Lin Yide, "With the sword in my hand!"
The battle was about to break out. Lin Yide didn't say anything extra and directly swung the silver sword in his hand towards the middle-aged man.
His swordsmanship was superb, and his attacks were as dense and swift as pear blossoms falling in the rain. Sometimes he stabbed, sometimes he chopped, aiming directly at the opponent's vital points.
However, the middle-aged man's figure was as agile and changeable as a ghost.
He moved around the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, skillfully avoiding Lin Yide's fierce attacks.
Whenever Lin Yide thought he was about to hit the target, the middle-aged man was always able to defuse the crisis at the critical moment, and his sudden backhand stab was as cunning and deadly as a poisonous snake.
Faced with the middle-aged man's superb body skills and counterattack ability, Lin Yide had to slow down the intensity of his attack and leave enough energy to deal with the opponent's fierce offensive.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yide became very interested in the identity of the middle-aged man.
He was surprised to find that this opponent's swordsmanship and body movements were outstanding and he should definitely not be an unknown person.
But after searching in my mind, I still couldn't find any impression of this middle-aged man.
At the same time, the shock in the middle-aged man's heart was no less than Lin Yide's.
He originally thought that with his years of training and combat experience, he could easily defeat Lin Yide.
But the actual situation was far beyond his expectations.
It is incredible that Lin Yide has mastered such extraordinary swordsmanship and fighting skills at such a young age.
Even in that turbulent era with many talented people, he was definitely a leader.
The battle between the two men was in a stalemate for a while, with each side fighting back and forth and neither giving in.
As time went by, Lin Yide gradually noticed something strange during the fierce confrontation.
He found that the middle-aged man's attack method was similar to that of the Water Purification Society assassin he encountered that day.
Although the middle-aged man was holding a rapier, Lin Yide could still see the shadow of the short blade attack mode.
This made Lin Yide begin to consciously slow down the pace of his attacks so that he could observe and understand the opponent's moves more deeply.
The middle-aged man quickly realized Lin Yide's intention. He immediately took a step back and broke away from the fight with Lin Yide.
However, this attempt to cover up the truth only deepened Lin Yide's suspicion of him.
"Baron Ide, you are indeed not simple, but our competition today will end here." After the middle-aged man said this, he led the people of the Shadow Chasing Court to quickly leave the scene.
Lin Yide thought about it for a while and finally decided not to chase after him.
Now is not the time to settle accounts with Zhuyingting and Jingshuihui.
However, he will get back his debt sooner or later.
