Chapter 519: Suddenly
"Miss......"
As soon as Vitol wanted to say something after reaching the top floor, Felica looked at him sideways with a cold face, and saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, before continuing to walk towards his room. Vitor stood in the hallway, watching Felica enter the room before returning to his room.
He knew that Felica must be dissatisfied with what happened today, and as soon as he arrived in Otis City, he had a conflict with the local city hall, and even did not hesitate to sharpen the conflict, as Vitor has an unshirkable responsibility. He wasn't Felica's henchman, he wasn't an entourage running errands or anything like that, he was going to be Felica's butler, and he had to get everything in order, not an unplanned conflict like today.
It's his job, he didn't do it well, that's his responsibility.
Felica, who returned to the room, closed the door and sighed lightly, she actually didn't want to have such a conflict with Durin, let alone intensify the conflict between them. But from the family's standpoint, she had to. Many times, some ordinary people always feel that the rules of the big family are too much, too strict, too arrogant and too domineering, but there is no way to do it.
Any forgiveness and mercy is a very good virtue for ordinary people, but for such a large family, it is a mistake of principle.
If you don't show your thorns and sharp fangs, others will take your mercy and forgiveness as a low-cost warning, and then they will continue to deepen their mistakes to the point where they cannot be forgiven. When it really comes to that point, people will only talk about poor ordinary people, despicable big families.
Since they can't please the untouchables at the bottom of society in the end, why forgive and pity them in the first place?
Because it's stupid?
What happened today is actually a little different, Dulin is not an ordinary person, he is the power of the city hall of Otis, he runs the city, and he has a certain position within the New Party. This conflict can make those new-school politicians who don't like the northern aristocracy hate the northern aristocracy even more, and there may not be any targeted political events in the short term, but in the long run, there will always be something that should be ordinary because of this incident.
In the next three days, I hope that the young mayor of Doolin can keep his eyes open and let the conflict between them end here.
After a night of socializing, Feliga was already tired, and she rested early after a brief freshening up.
Early the next morning, the maid knocked on the door and brought her breakfast. There are twelve dishes in two food trucks, almost all of which are discarded after just one bite. Feliga cleaned herself up in her pajamas, and sat by the window basking in the sun and eating breakfast, holding a copy of the local newspaper of the city of Otis, the Daily Otis in her hand.
There are no too long political stories in the newspapers, on the contrary, entertaining news not only dominates the headlines, but also almost fills the entire newspaper.
The headline on the front page of this morning was "The Seventh Lucky Winner", with a photo of an ecstatic man underneath, and Feliga read it carefully, only to know that this man used one hundred and fifty dollars in the Golden Branch Casino last night to hit the three numbers of the Otis Roulette wheel with the highest multiplier in the casino, and successfully turned one hundred and fifty dollars into five hundred and forty thousand!
Otis Roulette is said to be a gambling game developed by Doolin that has never been seen before, and it is particularly tense and exciting. The game requires only one table for betting, and a table with three roulette wheels. The outermost of these three wheels have thirty-six squares, ranging from one to thirty-six, in red and black. At the beginning of the game, the dealer will spin the wheel clockwise and throw a ball into the wheel in a counterclockwise motion, and when the wheel stops, the ball will be in the grid that is the final result. The second and third wheels are similar, except that the slots are reduced, the second layer has eighteen slots, and the innermost layer has only nine.
If you hit a number in the outermost wheel, you will get a thirty-six times the prize, the second one is eighteen times, and the innermost one is nine.
In addition, there are games such as odd and even, red and black and sum guessing, with odds ranging from two to one hundred and eight times.
The maximum odds in this game are 3,600 times, you need to bet on the final result of three roulette wheels before the game starts, guess one or two according to the odds alone to double, but if all three numbers are pressed, it is 3,600 times!
This lucky lucky man was very lucky to hit all the numbers, and won the sky-high odds of 540,000 in one go, and was almost sent to the hospital by ambulance in excitement. According to the reporter's interview, this guy runs a fairly good restaurant, and this time he has been traveling to the city of Otis with his family for four days, and plans to leave the next day. Before leaving the casino, he pressed the last one hundred and fifty chips in his hand on the last date of the birthday of the family of three, and actually let him bet on the right .......
Felica turned the second page, and she actually knew very well in her heart that if this person was not the person invited by Durin to star in this scene, then it was Durin's people who did it and made him the lucky one. Judging by the title, there were six lucky winners before him, and there is no doubt that all of them may have won the maximum prize with very small bets. It is precisely because of the continuous appearance of these lucky people that many people who think they are lucky come to the city of Otis and leave with all their wealth and empty wallets.
Very powerful marketing methods, Felica's face was impassive, and she had already written this thing down in her heart, this is the biggest difference between the south and the north. Doing business in the north is actually not very easy to do, everyone has a clear understanding of what to buy and sell, and the merchants are relatively honest in trading in the "territory" of the nobility, and they will not make such a gimmick. Compared with the lively business atmosphere in the south, the business atmosphere in the north is a bit dead and needs to be changed.
The second, third, and last pages are almost always engaging, and you can't help but have to gamble or play some kind of entertainment.
She put down the newspaper, took a napkin and wiped her lips, and asked the maid to change her into a very nice outfit, and then she picked up the phone and asked Vitol to come to her room and discuss the three-day itinerary.
It was so unpleasant to have a quarrel with Durin, and it was impossible for him to take them on a tour, so they could only arrange it themselves.
When Felica and her party came down from the upper floor, someone immediately called to tell Doolin that they had gone out.
Durin was slapped in the face by them like that, how could he be at peace with his character? Even the Song Consortium couldn't oppress him, just change to something more powerful?
No way!
He didn't intend to retaliate in that violent way, Felica could lose his face quietly, and he could return it in the same way, leaving them speechless.
The yellow light on the table came on as he asked them to stare at them, indicating that someone was waiting for him to answer the phone. This small device was made by the Imperial Research Institute, mainly to solve the unnecessary trouble caused by some big people who missed the phone because of busy official business, in fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing remarkable, it is to add a few more lines to the telegraph office to queue, it's that simple.
After saying a few words, Durin hung up the phone, pressed the yellow button, and the phone line was immediately connected to another line, "I'm Durin!"
"Mayor Doolin, I'm Brilon, I don't know if I should talk to you about ...... something," Blelan's tone was a little hesitant.
"If you are not sure whether to say something or not, then you must say to me, my brother!", if a person can accurately distinguish a matter related to others without notifying the person, then his judgment is at least well-founded and certain. On the contrary, if there is no certainty and no basis for judgment, this hesitation will occur, and it must be told to the person concerned.
Bryren breathed a sigh of relief and told Durin what he had discovered.
In the past two days, he suddenly found that there were many more reporters in the city of Namilindes, if this was definitely not big news half a year ago, it was normal for reporters to come to interview in the pearl city of the hinterland of the empire, and it would be abnormal without these reporters. But this is not the old days, the decay of Namirinders is no longer news, and people don't pay attention to these things, Breeron asked people to inquire, only to find that these people seem to be here to "investigate the case".
They were looking for some clues about the attack that happened some time ago, and Breyeren knew part of the truth, and he wasn't quite sure what the purpose of these people was, so he had such a phone call.
Durin thanked Brearon for a kind reminder, and after a few words of chat, he hung up the phone, and he casually called the security company, and asked Keina to send a few people to Nam Lindes to catch a reporter back, he needed to figure out what was going on, so that what had been settled down could be revived.
The world is indeed full of malice towards itself, or rather malice towards his origin and his current position. He is a Gualte, and he is also considered to be the bottom of the minority in this world, and a "lower person" suddenly becomes a mayor with a lot of power, which will indeed make some ultra-racists cry and cry sadly, just like Heidler, who is obviously a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and does not want to live carefully?
However, it cannot be ruled out that it is Felica's means, and some things are not kept secret in front of these big forces. If it were her, then she would have stayed in Otis for a little longer.
