Doomsday Code

Chapter 215 The Dignity of Poverty

At this time, Torre's face was less stern than before, and he said without any arrogance:

"No way. This is all thanks to you and Monty. Otherwise, if I had come here, I would have become everyone's enemy in less than two days."

After the two of them flattered each other for a while, Howson looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and asked:

"Have you received any letters from there? And how have you been observing outside these days? I have learned a lot from my arguments with that Yi these days.

The person who came to Kailan City this time is a big shot in the capital, and he came here specifically to find the city lord."

Torre frowned when he heard this, and then asked:

"Then have you found out why that so-called big shot came to see the city lord?"

"Hey, don't mention it. The guy surnamed Yi told me that what we are doing now is what the City Lord's Mansion ordered us to do, and this matter seems to be related to that big shot.

As for the rest, Yi is very tight-lipped, but I don’t think he knows any details.”

After listening to this, Torre nodded, and then quickly slipped a note into Hausen's hand while others were not paying attention.

And on this piece of paper is the connection channel between Kailan City and Huidun City that he drew in the past few days. Some of them are very hidden, and some have been abandoned for many years.

If a large number of people had not been sent here to check, these roads would never have been discovered.

And Torre handed these over to Hausen because he was under Hausen's command in this operation, and Hausen was the supreme commander of this operation.

Hausen took the note, then walked towards Mondi, talking and laughing loudly.

"Mondy, do you know how to cook this monster meat? Don't wait until the meat is too fishy and it will spoil the appetite of the brothers."

As he spoke, Hausen began to help Mondy process the monster meat.

At this time, in the Kailan City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord Kevlar was lying with a big belly in the arms of a maid who was wearing slightly revealing clothes. The pretty maid leaned her body back as much as possible to avoid contact with Kevlar.

"City...City Lord, can you please get up?"

The maid tried to lower her voice as much as possible and spoke with a hint of begging, while her body was shivering a little in this cold weather.

But she still tried her best to endure it.

At the same time, he peeled the expensive crystal grapes shipped from the south of the kingdom, fed them to his mouth with an exquisite silver fork, and begged Kevlar in a low voice to get up.

At this moment, Kevlar seemed not to have heard the maid's begging. His attention was all on the dance steps of a group of beautiful singers in front of him.

When Kefla saw the singing girls getting excited, he would clap his hands and cheer loudly, and then he would grab a handful of silver coins from the porcelain plate beside him and throw them at the singing girls.

Of course, his porcelain plate is also the latest porcelain set produced by Huidun City today, and its price is as high as hundreds of gold coins.

After throwing out a handful of silver coins, Kevlar looked at the girl who was nestled in his arms.

"Well, do you really want this money? With this money, you can spend it to ask the priest of the church to save your mother, and your mother won't die of illness.

How about you agree to the conditions that this city lord proposed before? As long as you agree, all the money will be yours, and this city lord will also arrange a house for you in the city so that you and your daughter can live in the city."

Kefla's voice was like that of a devil. He was tempting the girl with money and a good life. As long as the girl gave her pure body, she could immediately get rid of her status as a low-class person and become the city lord's concubine.

However, there was a light called dignity flowing in the girl's eyes, and at the same time, a ruffian figure appeared in her mind.

Finally, she looked determined and shook her head.

"Lord City Lord, can you get up now? I have finished my work for today and I need to go back to take care of my mother."

At this moment, the girl was no longer timid, and she spoke to Kevlar in a tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Kevlar's face immediately darkened when he heard this, but the fat man did not force himself on the girl.

He wanted to use his actions to tell the girl that her so-called dignity meant nothing to him. He wanted to let the girl know that in the eyes of this high and mighty city lord, the life and death of people like them could be decided by a single word.

He stood up and looked at the singers in front of him, then waved to one of them and said:

"You, yes, you come here."

A singing girl came forward cautiously and bowed:

"Greetings to the Lord of the City."

Kefla glanced at the girl, then looked at the singer in front of him and said:

"This city lord has taken a liking to you today. As long as you accompany me for one night, all this money will be yours."

The singer looked at the silver coins on the plate and hesitated. But the next moment, Kevlar said:

"Not only these silver coins, but also this plate made by Bai Bixia is given to you."

These singers often come to the City Lord's Mansion to perform and have seen many scenes. They naturally know the current price of this porcelain.

The singer immediately agreed, and then Kefla pulled the singer into his arms without hesitation, and then looked at the girl and said:

"You can go now. I don't want to see you in the City Lord's Mansion again."

The girl had no regrets, but when she thought of her mother and how she couldn't find a job because she had offended the city lord and had no money to treat her mother's illness, she couldn't help but shed tears.

However, her tears were seen by others as a sign of regret. The singer who was bribed by Kevlar saw her like this, and perhaps out of jealousy, she looked at her with contempt.

The girl wiped away her tears and left the City Lord's Mansion.

The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion did not make things difficult for the girl and paid her today's wages as usual.

The reason why he did this was because in his opinion, the girl who had offended the city lord and her mother would not be able to find a job at all. It would not be long before she and her mother would freeze to death and starve to death because of their so-called dignity without the help of the adults.

Just as the girl was leaving the City Lord's Mansion, a luxurious carriage drove into the City Lord's Mansion, pressing down the snow on the road. If the girl could get any decoration on the carriage, she and her mother would be able to survive the winter.

But there aren't so many ifs.

When the butler saw this luxurious carriage, he knew that it was the eldest prince's men who came to pay a visit to their city lord again.

It is obvious that their city lord is from the seventh prince's lineage, but now it seems that the eldest prince is trying his best to win over his own city lord.

In fact, in his opinion, it would be better for the city lord to take the opportunity to directly vote for the eldest prince. The seventh prince has suffered heavy losses recently because of the elf case, and he may not have a chance to get that position in the future.

However, his master said that he had to proceed cautiously and make the eldest prince a little anxious before he would really surrender to him, otherwise it would seem that Kevlar was two-faced.

But what difference did it make to him?

However, remembering the city lord's instructions, he immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted, saying:

"My lord, it's unfortunate that my city lord was so angry about a maid that he has been feeling unwell for the past few days and I'm afraid he won't be able to see you. If you have anything to ask of me, I will definitely do it for you."

As soon as the Great Prince's men in the carriage heard this, they knew that Kevlar was just trying to fool him. If it weren't for the Great Prince's order to win Kevlar over this time, how could a mere city lord like him dare to be so rude to him.

"Oh, really? Which maid would be so bold? I wonder if you, the housekeeper, could take me to see it."

The messenger did not leave immediately. He also wanted to see how Kevlar would deal with him. If he didn't have a good reason, then don't blame him for teaching him a lesson.
