A Scumbag Always Gets What He Deserves

Five years later:

A few luxury carriages were driving through the thick fog, and in the depths of the fog, one could vaguely see low and dilapidated buildings piled up with stones.

The doors of these carriages are all depicted with a delicate anemone, which is the family emblem of a certain nobleman.

The sky, the ground, and everything around were gray, and the moist air came in through the cracks in the windows, bringing a musty smell of wood.

In the front carriage, a man closed the window tightly and muttered, "My God, this smell is really bad!"

He covered his nose and mouth, only showing a pair of brown eyes full of disgust.

He was wearing a white shirt and a red velvet jacket, black velvet breeches and leather boots, thick perfume on his neck and wrists, face powder and rouge on his cheeks, and a white ribbon for his long red hair Tucked back, dressed like aristocrats.

But he is not a nobleman, just a servant of the nobleman.

As long as the master he serves has enough wealth, an inferior person like him can live a more luxurious life than the third-rate nobles.

He took out a perfumed handkerchief from his pocket, waved it several times in the air, and then complained in a mocking tone: "It's hard to imagine that the great Grande can have such a bad place!"

Another servant sitting beside him also sneered: "The city of Desolet five years ago was a hundred times better than here!"

But not.

Disolet is taken from the meaning of "desolation".The city of Desolet was originally a deserted city, where the people were starved of food and clothing all day long, and even the old earl and countess who managed the city were seriously ill because of not having enough to eat all the year round, and later because they could not afford medical treatment. Fei, eventually both passed away.

And Grande is taken from the meaning of "great". Grande City is a great city, and it is also the richest city in the Totes Continent.Although it belongs to the Glory Empire, it has completely independent political, military, and legislative powers.

It is said that the wealth of the Lord of Grande is the highest in the entire Totes continent.If it weren't for marrying the eldest daughter of the Lord Grande, Charles III would not be able to sit on the king's position at all.The huge dowry and huge army brought by the queen helped the king clear all obstacles.

Because of this, Grande City is a more well-known city than Glory's capital Borsa, and it is also a dreamland that everyone yearns for.

The two servants devalued Grande to nothing, just because of the comparison psychology of the nouveau riche.They came from the city of Desolet, which used to be the poorest place in the entire Totes continent.

But not anymore.

After the death of the old earl, their young master, Earl Jane Joe, vigorously developed the flower planting and mining industries, and invented unique incense making technology and jewelry processing technology, which lifted the city of Desolet out of poverty in just five years. It has become one of the richest cities in the Totes Continent.

Today's De Solette City is rich in top-quality perfumes, flowers, cosmetics and jewelry, and these commodities are precisely the most cherished treasures of all nobles.They are willing to spend a lot of money to buy these luxuries from De Solette.

The taxes paid by the city of Desolet are increasing every year, and the rate is very large, which finally caught the attention of Charles III.Therefore, in the spring of this year, Earl Jian Qiao, who was in charge of the city, received the king's birthday invitation letter for the first time.

Going to Porsa to attend the king's birthday is a sign to test whether a nobleman has reached the top of the pyramid.There is no doubt that Jane Qiao did it.

Because of this, his title changed from the former "Lord of the Deserted City" to the current "Earl of Huadu".

It is inevitable to encounter bandits on the way to Porsa, so every nobleman will bring his own knights, and these knights together form a considerable military force.

Charles III did not have the confidence to suppress this force, so he asked all the nobles to go to Grande first, unload their weapons and equipment, and leave the members of the Knights behind before they could bring two servants into Borsa to attend the banquet.

Jian Qiao also brought a dozen knights, and he had to place these people in Grande before meeting the king.

Fog filled the window, blurring Jian Qiao's vision.

He pursed his lips slightly, showing discomfort.

Due to his childhood experience, he hated dense foggy weather, but unfortunately, the Totes Continent is just a place shrouded in rain and dense fog all year round.Sunny days are as rare as diamonds in the ground.

He rubbed the center of his brows and temples, trying to drive away the memories of his previous life that surged from the depths of his mind, but was attracted by the noise outside the window.

His eyes penetrated the dense fog, and he could vaguely see a gallows. A man with a head covering in a sackcloth bag and his body twitching was hanging from the gallows. A group of ragged civilians were surrounded by the man's feet.These civilians were shaking their fists and shouting loudly: "Hang him, hang him, hang him..."

The man's body stiffened quickly. After the executioner put him down, a group of people quickly surrounded him, quickly stripped him of his clothes, and then ran away in all directions.

Those who snatched the clothes shrieked triumphantly, those who did not snatch the clothes cursed unwillingly, and the children clapped their palms and jumped and frolicked.

A pale corpse was placed in full view without any cover, but it did not cause any panic.

People who live here seem to be unable to feel the fear of death, nor can they feel pity. They have not been exposed to sunlight all year round, and they naturally do not know what it is like to bathe in warmth.The nobles who are above the common people only know about squandering, enjoying themselves, and fighting for power and profit.

This is the continent of Totes, a place full of poverty and numbness, as well as luxury and pleasure.

Humans, plants, animals, everything is growing savagely.Gray is its main color, and gloom is its most essential core.

Jian Qiao stared at the empty gallows without focusing her eyes, and then hastily looked away.

This place is just like the reflection of his true heart, which makes him unable to face it directly.

Death silenced the babbling of the two servants.

Through this foggy town, the great Grande lies ahead.

"It is said that Lei Zhe, the second son of the Duke of Grande, is a very domineering person. A few years ago, when an earl was walking on the street, he lightly rubbed his shoulder, which annoyed him, so he Cut off the man's arm on the spot."

After holding back for a while, a servant spoke again.He can't keep his mouth shut.

Another servant looked at the master who was sitting in the front row and dozed off with his eyes closed, and echoed in a low voice: "It's absolutely true, I've heard about it too! Lord Lei Zhe has a very hot temper, the most powerful nobleman in Glori Don't dare to be presumptuous in front of him."

"So we must be careful this time, and don't offend Lord Lei Zhe. Although he is not the eldest son of the Duke of Grande and has no right of succession, his own sister is the queen of Glori. Her Royal Highness will definitely do it Let my father pass on the title of duke to my younger brother."

"Ah, that's for sure. Sir Lei Zhe will definitely inherit Grande and become the most powerful nobleman in Totes."

"It is said that his only hobby is collecting beauties. Shall we buy a few beauties from the madam for him?"

"It's better to prepare a few. When I get to Grande, I'll go outside and find out who the most famous bustard in the city is."

The two were discussing in whispers, and Jian Qiao, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly raised her hand and waved it left and right.This is what it means not to be troublesome.

The two servants hurriedly pressed their minds to find the beauty.

In Jian Qiao's view, the only way to maintain a good relationship with the legendary Duke's son is to stay away from him and not meet him in person.If you don't know nature, there will be no contradictions.

However, it is not.When a person is too sharp, even if they don't meet each other, other sharp people will feel disgusted or even hostile towards him.

Contradictions will always grow in the dark.

A tall man is slowly dabbing color on a canvas with a paintbrush.

On the red velvet sofa not far ahead, a plump lady was reclining lazily, wearing a thin Roman gown, her golden hair slid down her round shoulders, covering the entire floor. land.In this country of gray fog everywhere, blond hair is as precious as sunshine.

People with blond hair can always get a lot of love and favor easily.

The lady pulled the neckline which was already very low, looked down at herself, to ensure that her posture was graceful, and then looked intently at the man who was painting.

The man also had dazzling blond hair tied behind his head with a black ribbon, revealing an extremely handsome face.This face will always make people lose their minds, and then they can't help but think of the god of the sun who lives high in the sky and rarely sees him all year round.

Unlike the aristocrats nowadays, men like to dress luxuriously. Generally speaking, he is a bit rough.His upper body was wearing a white silk shirt, which was unbuttoned, revealing a large part of his chest. The sleeves on both sides were rolled up to the elbows, exposing his strong arms. He was wearing a pair of tight-fitting narrow-leg pants and a pair of black boots.

The simple attire highlights his overly tall and straight figure.

The silk shirt exudes a unique luster and looks very textured.This is an oriental fabric that few people in the entire aristocratic class can own. The price of a piece of cloth is more expensive than gold.

On a man, however, the luster of this expensive fabric is far less appealing than the sensual texture that his muscular muscles hold up the fabric.

Have you ever seen a lion patrolling the grassland?When they walk, the muscles of the whole body will tense, rise and fall, and stretch.Their wildness is frightening and fascinating.

The man standing in front of the canvas is such a majestic lion, even in a static state, he is full of awe-inspiring aura.

He's dangerous, yet laid-back and casual at the same time.

The lady looked at him obsessively, but he only had the paintbrush and the canvas in his eyes.

Suddenly, a man dressed as an aristocrat pushed open the door and hurried into the studio, without even looking at the beautiful lady, he went straight to the blond man and whispered in a gloomy tone: "Lei Zhe, Earl Huadu is here!" Yes. His perfume shop and jewelry store have taken away a lot of business from us. Do you want to meet him? Don’t forget that Miss Lilith, who you are pursuing recently, also rejected your invitation because of her obsession with him. He is your Rival!"

The blond man took two steps back, squinting at the lady lying on the sofa, but did not respond to these provocative words.

The noble man gritted his teeth, and said again: "Lei Zhe, I know you have your principles, but Grande is your territory after all, that Earl of Huadu robbed you of your interests and seduced your woman in your territory, Is it not your fault?"

Lei Zhe hooked the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of contempt in his casual smile.

However, this contempt was not aimed at the Earl of Huadu, but at the noble man in front of him.He knew all too well what this man was trying to incite him to do.A small baron without a fief naturally couldn't afford to offend an earl with an independent city-state, so he needed a strong backing.

I am his backing.

Lei Zhe stared at the canvas in front of him, then looked up at the lady not far away, and continued to paint details with his brush.

The baron rolled his eyes, and immediately had a better explanation: "Recently, people in the party said: Mr. Lei Zhe is chasing women all day long, but Earl Huadu is being chased by women all day long. In terms of charm, the Earl of Huadu is better after all. Are you not angry if you are compared like this and lost?"

Lei Zhe's busy brush rested on the canvas.

At this time, the lady lying on the sofa spoke: "It is said that the Earl of Huadu possesses the magic power to make people fall at a glance. Anyone who has seen him will fall in love with him madly. My God, he is coming to Granville De? I'm looking forward to it!"

The noble lady held her beating heart with her snow-white hands, and then two blushes of shyness appeared on her cheeks.

With a soft click, Lei Zhe threw away the paintbrush in his hand, picked up the black coat that was casually placed on the window sill, and said in a sneering tone: "Let's go and meet that Earl of Huadu. If he himself has nothing to do with the legend , and there is no charm at all, I will definitely hold him by the back of the neck and take him around the street twice, so that everyone can experience his so-called charm."
