Chapter 499: Contradictions

From June 2 to June 4, 2018 in the Liberty Calendar, which was recorded as the "beginning of the wailing" in the future chronicles of the mainland, the Red Association Guard, composed of a group of Roland traitors, cooperated with the Order of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre, and arrested the Judgment believers in Purgatory City and imposed the most severe sentences - in these three days, the number of Judgment believers who were escorted to the purification field and burned to death reached a staggering 18,000!

In addition, during the arrest process, there were many robberies, rapes, and murders! During these three days, screams were heard during the day, and weeping was heard in the darkness at night, and the entire Purgatory City was shrouded in the bloody terror created by the Order of the Guardians of the Holy Sepulchre—this place was called Purgatory, and now it has become a real Purgatory!

Hyde Park District, a residential building.

"Beck, our brothers see that your woman is very beautiful, how about lending it to us for two days?" Colin, who was dressed like a Red Association Guard, gently patted Baker, a citizen who was now holding his stomach and curled up on the ground with a painful face, and stared at the brother who was now being held by Colin, and another Red Association guard held down the young woman with her hands on the wall, and asked with a lewd smile on her face.

"Fuck you!" Baker forced his head up, glaring at the other man's eyes filled with infinite anger, but the injuries on his body were obviously not light, although he only moved slightly, but there were already large drops of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Smack-" Colin suddenly increased his strength and slapped Baker in the face loudly, looking at the blood spilling from the corner of the other party's mouth, he smiled grimly: "If you kid is enough, just scold!" But once we report the matter of your secret possession of the statue of Payit to our superiors, you kid and your woman will inevitably have to go to the purification field for a while!"

"Fuck, fart, that statue isn't mine at all!" Looking at the bronze statue of Payit not far from the ground, Baker couldn't wait to bite off a piece of flesh from his two brothers in front of him!

"Indeed, this did not belong to you in the first place, but was brought in by our two brothers. But seeing that Colin was indeed blunt, he immediately saw him look at Baker like a cat playing with a mouse, and said proudly, "Well, who knows? As long as our brothers say that this idol belongs to you, then it belongs to you! Do you still think that those noble adults will investigate our brother for the sake of you as a pariah? If you really want to investigate, I am afraid that half of the more than 10,000 people who have been burned to death in the past few days will be tired!"

Hearing the word 'burned', Baker's mind involuntarily thought of the miserable scenes of the past few days when he was forcibly asked to go to the purification place to see those who were condemned as infidels and finally burned alive, and suddenly the cold sweat on his forehead was even worse, and his eyes were irrepressibly frightened.

"Scared, scared! If it were me, I would have been scared half to death, I don't want to be tied to a stone pillar and burned alive, and in the end, I am afraid that my soul will not be able to rest in peace!" Colin's 'consolation' made Baker's face look more and more ugly......

"In comparison, what if you lend your woman to us brothers for two days? there will be no less meat to play, and maybe she will be able to play more tricks with you in the future!" said the Colin brothers, and they couldn't help but laugh lewdly at the same time

"If you don't say anything, I'll say yes to you?!" Baker didn't answer, and he didn't know if he heard clearly.

"By the way, one last word of caution for you, don't close your eyes, or don't blame me for not counting my words afterwards!Besides, thinking about you, he's looking forward to what your woman is like in the arms of another man, right? hahaha-"

Inner Harbor District, Delta Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.

"Greetings, today I have successfully acquired three docks, ten large stores, and a large warehouse!" said Dennis, one of the three vice presidents of the Delta Chamber of Commerce, and glanced at the other two vice presidents next to him with an arrogant expression.

"Lord, my harvest today is also good--I bought a hundred attics worth more than 10,000 gold coins, and eleven mansions worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and the purchase price is less than one-tenth!" said another vice president, Ou Gavin, who was also not to be outdone.

"Well, yes, you've done a very good job!" Bhatia, as the president, nodded repeatedly, extremely satisfied with the results achieved by the two subordinates in the past few days, and at the same time, he was secretly proud of his decisiveness a few days ago - if he hadn't voted on the side of the victorious Red Demon Empire, maybe the Delta Chamber of Commerce would not even be a scum left like the Chamber of Commerce that he had secretly annexed these days!

However, when he looked at Vice President James, who seemed a little taciturn on the side, Bartia couldn't help but suddenly gaze slightly: "James, what about you? Have you achieved anything today?"

"Yes, Lord, I, I-"

"What else can you expect from him?!" Dennis said with a look of disdain as he looked at the 'colleague' in front of him.

"That's understandable, after all, compared to the development of the Chamber of Commerce, for us Vice-President James, where can we compare to helping those lowly poor ghosts?!, I've heard that many people nowadays call me and Dennis devils who eat people and don't spit out bones, but our Vice-President James is a noble and kind gentleman, tsk-" Agavin took Dennis's words and said in a strange tone.

James looked at the two of them, especially O'Gavin's sneering face, and immediately couldn't help but say angrily: "O'Gavin, you-"

"Alright!" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bartia stopped the two with a cold expression.

To be honest, Battaya is indeed quite unhappy with James now--he had clearly told the three of them to their faces, allowing them to take advantage of the current situation in Purgatory City to buy all kinds of industries in the city, so as to further expand the Chamber of Commerce, which is a rare opportunity! Dennis and Agavin did a good job, even better than he expected, but when it was James's turn, the other party simply took his words as wind in their ears! Instead of dealing with a lot of business of the Chamber of Commerce, he accompanied his wife to help the victims in the city all day long, and used the supplies that belonged to the Chamber of Commerce - does this bastard still think that the Delta Chamber of Commerce belongs to their Bird family?! Thinking like this, Bartia couldn't help but have a faint coldness in the depths of his gaze as he looked at James.

Speaking of James's status in the Delta Chamber of Commerce, he is also the patriarch of the Bird family, in addition to the position he now holds, he is also the patriarch of the Bird family! Speaking of the Bird family, there is no old man in the Delta Chamber of Commerce who does not know, because the former president of the Chamber of Commerce is the previous patriarch of the Bird family, James's father......! For more than 1,000 years, the successive presidents of the Chamber of Commerce have all come from the Bird family!

Of course, the history of the Delta Chamber of Commerce can be traced back even further, but the Delta Chamber of Commerce has been held by the Bird family for more than a thousand years, and it has long been marked with indelible traces!

But James, how to say it, his personality is a little strange - if he wears it in the Red Mansion, no one will suspect that he is not Jia Baoyu, and if he is reborn as a Tang monk, he will still be the fragrant Tang monk meat in the eyes of the demons...... In short, when his father was still alive, James refused to take over as the president, and when the news came back that his father did not know his life and death, he still did not know, and even recommended Bartia, who had a lot of prestige in the Chamber of Commerce at that time! Therefore, James has a considerable part of the credit for the fact that Bartia was able to sit in the position of president!

However, Battaia was never grateful for this, and even became a fish stuck in his throat all the time! Bartia actually secretly coveted the position of president for a long time, and has been working hard for it! In his eyes, James is a waste, whether it is ability, means, merit, etc., what does he compare with himself? It is just a good birth! But who stipulates that the Delta Chamber of Commerce must belong to the Bird family? Two thousand years ago, even those ghouls who have existed since ancient times did not know which the Bird family is!

Although he had secretly planned to clean up the influence of the Bird family in the Chamber of Commerce, Bartia also knew that this was not in a hurry, after all, there were still many old people in the Chamber of Commerce who firmly stood on the side of the Bird family, and if he made a strong move, he was afraid that in the end he would break up the huge Chamber of Commerce, which was not what Bartia wanted to see!

Previously, he decided to throw himself into the Red Demon Empire, in addition to the situation at that time, more importantly, he wanted to use this opportunity to greatly increase his prestige and influence in the Chamber of Commerce, and even take this opportunity to realize his plan in one fell swoop!

I saw Bartia look at James with a slightly gloomy face and said: "James, there is nothing wrong with doing good deeds, but I hope you can distinguish the importance from the heavy! Now everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, down to the ordinary clerks, up to the two vice presidents, is all running around for the development and growth of the Chamber of Commerce! Look at yourself, what have you done these days? In addition to relieving those worthless poor people, what other things have you done that are beneficial to the Chamber of Commerce? Could it be that in your eyes, the development of the Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the life and death of those poor ghosts?! What makes me most angry is that you even used the precious materials of the Chamber of Commerce to give them to those people for free! Do you know how chilling and angry they would be if your actions were known by other people in the Chamber of Commerce?!"

I don't know the 'others' in Baddia's words, including Dennis and Agavin in front of them, anyway, the faces of the two of them looking at James suddenly became more and more ugly......

"Lord, I, I—" James was not the kind of eloquent man in the first place, but now he was forced by the momentum of Barthia to say anything!

After a slight pause, James suddenly said loudly: "Lord, it's true that I'm only helping the poor these days, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this, at least it can give the Chamber of Commerce a good name!"

Seeing that James suddenly 'went crazy', the three of them were a little stunned.

But James's 'drag racing' didn't end there, but he looked at Dennis and O'Gavin with disdain and said: "As for the two of you, don't think that no one knows what you have done, I want to say that you have simply lost your conscience! Cover your own conscience and ask yourself, Dennis, which of the docks, warehouses, and shops you bought was not taken by you? And O'Gavin, the people you bought the house, I'm afraid that nine out of ten of them have been condemned as heretics, right?" Don't tell me I don't have you to blame!"

"Look for death!"

"Fart!"

Being scolded almost by people like this, especially James, who has always looked down on them, Dennis and Agavin both have a feeling of being angry; no, not only feelings, but they are really going to explode at the moment!

Just when the two of them almost wanted to make a move with James, Bartia stretched out his hand to stop them, only to see him staring at James with a cold face, and said gloomily: "Then in your eyes, I led the Chamber of Commerce to join the Red Demon Empire, and even opened the city gate for the enemy, can I be regarded as heinous?"

"I didn't say that. James replied expressionlessly, but it made Baddia's face more and more ugly - the meaning of 'not said' means that it may actually be thought so in his heart, which is simply a slap in the face!

"If the Elder insists that I learn from the two of them to do something that kills my conscience, I can only say that I can't! With that, James turned his head and walked out, leaving Dennis and Ogavin looking at each other, and Baddia with a gloomy face......
