A lamp sits on a wide mahogany table.

A gentle bright yellow light shone on the table and on Donald's face, and he held the pen in his hand, the tip of which landed on the page, and the oozing ink soon stained a small black dot on the surface of the paper.

"Davy...... Britz ...... Leonard ......"

As names came out of Donald's mouth, the tip of the pen crossed out the names one by one.

There is a pause as we reach the fifth name, followed by three more names below and a few smaller names than the ones below.

"So fast? Already got rid of five?"

Victor, who was sitting across the table, asked in disbelief as he watched the list he had provided for the characters being erased.

The people on the list in Donald's hands were dug out by him through various channels for nearly half a year.

Candidates for this list generally have one or more of the following characteristics:

The Talos family's cronies or minions in Renas, such as Dolly David, the tobacco merchant's usury and tobacco smuggling business, were actually instructed by the Taros family, to be precise, he was an agent, and Sewit Taros's personal purse.

Vice-runners in the city of Renas include Betsy Britz, one of the bosses of the Renas gang, who is involved in nearly two-thirds of the city's human trafficking.

People in the upper echelons of the government tend to oppress the common people to support the upper class, such as Hansa Leonard, as the director of the urban planning bureau of the city of Renas, if it were not for this guy who has faithfully implemented the law of oppressing the common people for more than ten years, Renas would not be so polarized today.

The above three characteristics are the main ones, and some detailed aspects will not be elaborated on here.

"It's just some of the more key people to get rid of in advance, since these 8 people have been specially selected by you from so many people, I think it should be after your careful consideration, naturally you have to give priority to solving them, but at present, it is limited to these few people, after they are eliminated, other people should not be able to move in a short period of time, and too many people will die at once, which is also not conducive to our plan. ”

Donald returned to Rainas half a month ago, but he didn't start acting immediately, and he didn't even inform Victor of his island, but secretly investigated for a while, relying on Stephanie's ability to collect a lot of information about Rainas City.

Of course, because of the rush of time, Stephanie did not have the opportunity to go deeper, and could only be said to have a basis for judging some things.

It's just that although Victor still has a significant number of names on his list that Donald has never even heard of, he is willing to give Victor enough trust in the rest of the content after confirming that the names of several key people he knows are on it.

After all, they are now collaborators, and in addition to being wary of each other, basic trust must still be there, otherwise they will start to suspect each other before things are done, which is a taboo in cooperation, and Donald is not so stupid.

"Yes, you can't be too anxious, you have to take it one step at a time...... Is there anything I can help with lately?"

Victor knew that he couldn't intervene in what Donald was currently doing, so he simply steered the conversation elsewhere, he wanted to show his value in front of Donald.

After learning that Donald had cleared out more than half of the people in just a week, Victor couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

In other words, it is a sense of crisis based on the fact that there is a huge gap between the strength of the other party and the other party.

To put it bluntly, Victor worries that he will be dealt with in the same way by the other party after the cooperation ends.

In fact, compared to the existence of those rich and nobles at every turn, Victor is a wanted criminal, and killing him will not cause any trouble at all.

"I need you to help me continue to keep an eye on the situation of the Literary Sect, the Lost Slate has been translated, you have to arouse their idea of looking for the black-robed Sage, it is best to let the news agencies do some more targeted reports, in short, the heat of public opinion must be maintained no matter what, this is your task, I don't care what method you use to achieve it, if you can, let the entire people of Renas know the content of the Slate prophecy!"

Propaganda, this is the most critical thing at the moment, Donald erased the people on the list one by one not only to clean up the cancer, but also to use this to make the people believe in his existence with the prophecy on the slate, and then generate faith and worship.

Knowing that Renus is not the original mountain village, this is a large city with a population of nearly 300,000, and it is impossible for Donald to spread his faith by serving the masses like Claremont once did.

Not only because time does not allow it, but also because the government of Renas, and even the Imperial government, does not allow religion to be in the city!

The so-called secular cities are not just lip service and are not only talked about without the permission of the Empire, let alone a religion that has never been heard of, even if it is a righteous sect, and it is also not allowed to build any buildings or organized civil society here.

Naturally, it was impossible for Donald to change the policies of the imperial government on his own, so if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to find another way, he did not need church worship, and he did not need to form a large group of believers for the time being, what he wanted was to win a considerable number of believers for himself through his own actions.

Given the current social environment in Renas City, where civilians make up nearly 90% of the total population, it is needless to say who Donald wants to "please".

After all, the power of faith is a magical power that does not increase or decrease because of someone's wealth or power.

"I understand, I will pay attention to the things of the literary sect, as for public opinion...... There should be no problem, my students have a fairly wide social circle in the civilian area, and I will let them spread the word as much as possible. ”

After hearing Donald's request, Victor obviously had a more relaxed look on his face, he couldn't do it in combat, but he was better than Donald in terms of public opinion guidance, especially in civilian areas.

Victor was not accepted because of his research results, and the once decadent Victor worked as a teacher in the civilian area for nearly three years to supplement his food and drink expenses and maintain his own minimum experiments.

For a leading scholar of our time to teach, for some of the aspiring young people in the civilian area, this is what they dream of.

So during that time, Victor easily got to know a large number of young people in the civilian area, the same ones that Donald had seen before.

It turns out that this may be the most correct thing that Victor did in his life in addition to his own research, these young people not only allowed Victor to find a career that he was willing to fight for all his life, but also stood up when he faced the hunt of the Rainas government in the future, it can be said that without them, Victor would have died a long time ago.

"Very good...... Very good!"

Seeing that Victor was so confident, Donald felt that he should still say everything, thought about it and continued,

"Your Excellency Victor, I know what your ideal is, and I don't mind helping you achieve it, because in my plan, it is also part of it, believe me, the day my plan succeeds, you will find yourself only one step away from achieving your ideal success. ”

"Then I wish our plan success!"

After listening to Donald's words, Victor didn't say much, but directly got up and stretched out his hand.

"Happy working together!"

Victor's behavior was clearly not believing in himself, and Donald didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Some things have to be explained by practical actions!
