Chapter 2: The Dead Emperor

It was only a matter of time before those who were contaminated with dragon blood were infected by the dragon's heart, but Oreo still relied on his strong willpower to stay awake.

Of course, the main reason is that his emotions are not yet out of control.

Hearing shouts outside the door, he replied with difficulty.

"Yes, wait a minute."

After a few deep breaths, Oreo finally transformed back into a human from the dragon.

He took off an overcoat from the side and draped it over his body, then motioned for Caron to open the door.

The manservant gave him an uneasy look, but opened the wooden door anyway.

Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman whom Oreo knew.

"Wenza, if there's anything you need me to help with?"

Skirting the carpet, Wensa sat down across from her desk and sobbed before long.

"Lord Oreo, a lot of people died last night, and we really can't hold on...... As soon as I came back from the City Patrol Bureau, the landlord brought someone to urge me to rent it...... My daughter is in the Black Queen's contenders...... But I can't wait for the celebration day......"

Buttoning up his coat, Oreo sighed.

"It's just a temporary difficulty, Windsor, how much money do you need."

Hearing this, the poor old bustard burst into tears.

"Lord Oreo, those City Patrol guys are really not human, they call us when they need us, and they don't care if we live or die when they don't need us...... But after the brothel opened, I still had to pick up customers from the City Patrol...... Woowoo...... It's so bullying. ”

"yes......"

Oreo waved his hand, then muttered, "What a bully." ”

Seeing his movements, Caron willingly lifted a money bag containing twenty gold coins, which should be more than enough to pay the rent.

He handed the money bag to Winser.

"Lady Winza, two silver coins a month for interest."

Winsa gratefully accepted the bag of gold coins and thanked him incessantly.

"Thank you so much, when the celebration is over, my daughter will definitely sell it for a good price, and I will give you the interest and principal as soon as possible."

Oreo shook his head and whispered.

"It's all right, Lady Winza, don't worry about the time, you can return the money to me before the summer comes...... Caron, let's see how much money we have left, and take it all out, the people of the back three streets will have to count on the brothel for the winter. ”

Cuarón answered, and took all the money bags from the grandfather clock.

The grandfather clock had been shattered.

Cuarón went out with the money, and soon there was a commotion at the door of the office, and everyone praised the generosity of Lord Oreo, and even shed tears of gratitude.

Oreo felt all this expressionlessly, but his heart was tormented by crime and punishment.

Towards lunchtime, Caron pushed the door open, and shook the money bag in his hand, which was already empty.

"Master, it's not enough."

Oreo glanced at him, then pouted at the carpet.

"Take that thing and sell it, I'm the only thing I've got that thing worth a little money."

Caron hesitated for a moment, but bent down and slowly rolled up the carpet worth 6,666 gold coins.

Oreo couldn't bear to see this, and he closed his eyes sadly.

A few months ago, he thought that the firm's business had been improving, but what he didn't expect was that with a few days to go before 227, he had lost everything he could lose.

Caron soon returned, and the second-hand carpet didn't sell for much, so he symbolically gave some life-saving money to the old bustards, and then walked into the office empty-handed.

Hearing the sad footsteps, Oreo put down the book in his hand and said in disappointment.

"I was going to open a school on Back 3rd Street...... But I don't know how to teach. ”

Caron paused and replied.

"Young master, even if you go to school, the children of prostitutes are still prostitutes, I know you want to change all this, but the current Housanjie is not something that can be changed overnight, and it is not something that can be changed by a school.

Because the prostitutes had no money, they had to run around to make a living, and that was the rule of Turin. ”

Oreo sighed again.

"But that's not necessarily right, is it?"

Cuarón said slowly.

"Young Master, do you remember what you once said - existence is reasonable, then I think this rule is also reasonable, but the people of the back three streets are weak in this rule."

Oreo waved his hand.

The phrase "existence is reasonable" is used by physicists to describe the unknowable laws of the universe, not to make excuses for this deformed world...... You don't need to know what a physicist is, because I don't know what physics is, and if I had learned that stuff earlier, the world would never be the way it is. ”

“......”

Seeing that Oreo's mood had stabilized a little, Caron changed the subject.

"Those prostitutes are still in the City Patrol, should we get them out?"

Oreo waved his hand.

"Celebration day, when the celebration day is over, I want to make the people of Housanjie clean for a while."

Caron nodded, and continued to speak.

"Young master, it's time for dinner, are you hungry?"

Oreo turned his head, looked Caron up and down, and said suspiciously.

"You don't even have a copper plate, do you?"

In Oreo's desperate gaze, Cuarón nodded, and he spoke honestly.

"I thought you had money left......"

“......”

Oreo opened his mouth wide and wanted to scold Cuarón, but ended up lying in the chair like a deflated ball.

"It's gone, there's nothing. Russell is gone, Redia is gone, the prostitutes are gone, the poppy is gone, the grandfather clock is gone, and now the carpet is gone, and I have nothing. ”

Cuarón moved his lips.

"I'll go find you something to eat, I'll starve to death with you."

Oreo exclaimed.

"Take a trip to the City Patrol to see if Rackmond is still there, and kill him if he is."

Cuarón nodded and quickly walked out of the office.

Before it had been quiet for two minutes, the door of the office was pushed open again, and the man said proudly.

"Underground Emperor, I think you're in big trouble."

Oreo was in that chair, and when he heard the voice, he just raised his eyes.

"Oh, Tamia, what's the matter?"

Tamia snorted, then slammed her foot against the office door, slamming it shut.

"Of course there is something, the commander-in-chief asked us to come over and continue to investigate the matter of the underground emperor, but I don't think he has his mind on this, he must be thinking of how to collude with our new Bedford Majesty."

Oreo said weakly.

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing his listless look, Tamia rolled her eyes.

"Reka asked me to ask you, he said what should you do with your subordinates in the City Patrol Bureau, they are all guilty of beheading, how should they be released."

"Those of my men?"

Oreo scrambled up in confusion, "Which of the men?" ”

Tamia crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"Aren't those poppy candy sellers all your people, don't you really know me and Reka?"

He thought Oreo would look embarrassed, but he just smiled, like an idiot.

Tamia leaned forward, leaned over to stare at Oreo, and said angrily.

"Tell me what to do! Reka won't last long! ”

Oreo tilted his head and stared at Tamia, and after a moment, he said suddenly.

"Kill them all."

"What did you say?"

Tamia glanced out the window, then lowered her voice and said, "Are you talking angry?" ”

"Nope."

Oreo shook his head.

"Those people are scum, let's kill them...... And if I'm not mistaken, Reka's father was killed by poppy candy sellers, and he must have hated those people to the core. ”

Tamia said with hatred.

"Oreo Pravall, you were so high-spirited when I first met you, but why did you become the way you are?"

Oreo said self-deprecatingly.

"Because the underground emperor is dead."
