Volume 1 Money Empire Chapter 0004 Gala Interlude
The people in the square exchanged pleasantries, and soon Cafu was led by the waiters to the most prominent position in the square.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honour for you to be here for this event, and Cafu sends you my best greetings and best wishes, but I think that today we are not the protagonists, the real protagonists are the poor people from the slums, who are the most qualified to talk about it. ”
In full view, a representative of the ghetto was led out of the government building by the attendants, and on the stage, the representative of the ghetto saluted respectfully to Count Cafu.
"The merciful God has sent you to bless us and thank you for your generosity, for which I think the inhabitants of the great house will be grateful to you, and I do not know what to say to express my excitement at the moment. ”
Looking at the paupers who wept with joy, the nobles in the audience applauded, and suddenly someone in the crowd stood up and shouted: "Mr. Cafu, I have heard that there is a gold mine under the slums, what do you think about this?"
The crowd fell silent, and everyone looked at the place where the voice came, a young man carrying a delicate suitcase, and people whispered.
Cafu's face turned ugly, and he looked at the strange young man in the audience.
Foster also wanted to see who it was, but seeing that it was Tang Ning beside him, he panicked and whispered a reminder. "You can't say that, Mr. Downing, it's going to kill me. ”
Tang Ning walked out of the crowd to the front of the stage, looking up with interest and waiting for an answer.
"Damn, such a kid from there. Cafu thought silently, his expression regaining his composure. "Sir, are you kidding me?"
Downing placed his right hand on his chest and bent down in salute. "Mr. Cafu, I think my tone is sincere enough. ”
Count Cafu straightened his collar and scanned the noisy crowd. "If there is a huge gold mine in the slums of Shining Gold, I will distribute them to the slums who own them. ”
What a perfect answer. Downing stepped back.
The banquet continued, and because of the slightest discomfort, Count Cafu and the mayor of the town and the director of the sheriff retired early.
"Tambor, I think your security work is really unflattering, and it almost ruined our good deeds. Cafu's face was like a charred steak, hysterical. "Mr. Mayor, if you want to be re-elected next time, you'd better have a happy ending to this matter, or I won't be using my gold to fund stupid allies. ”
The mayor of the town can be re-elected, and Cafu's political contribution is undoubtedly the biggest help, and if Cafu is lost, then everything will become uncertain.
"Rest assured, this matter will give you a satisfactory explanation. The mayor said, looking at Commissioner Tambor.
Tambor's expression was like a devil at the moment. "I'll let him disappear quickly from the banquet now, and Mr. Cafu need not worry. ”
Cafu had a headache and roared angrily. "Fool, I'm a good man, not a dictator who can't tolerate others, because a question about whether you want to destroy me by arresting him in front of so many people. ”
Tambol was a little ugly, and the mayor was busy playing round. "Mr. Cafu, we will take care of this matter, and we will not damage your reputation, please rest assured. ”
When the banquet was over, Foster outside the door was dejected, his face full of despair, and he looked at Downing with resentment.
"You're the devil, you made me lose my job, my only job, damn it. Foster roared, like a kitten turned into a lion.
He grabbed Downing's collar with both hands. "I swear, I'm going to make you pay. ”
Downing pulled away Foster's hands and stretched out his hand to sign. "Mr. Foster, this is not like you I know, please get in the car and I will make it up to you. ”
Sitting in the car, Foster thought that Downing would generously take out a wad of Caesars to compensate himself, but no, the other party didn't even mean to open the box.
"Mr. Foster, look at you, you don't have a job, you don't have any relatives, you don't even have your own house, what else do you have to rely on? ”
Downing rubbed his hands, not at all sorry for the loss of his government job for Foster, and the expression on his face was a little smug.
This orphan with no relatives worked hard to get a job to survive, and for this purpose, Downing knew it clearly, so he chose Foster.
Foster hid his face and wept. "I have nothing left, and God has been so unfair to me. ”
Since getting this job, he has not even asked for a single leave, even if it is a cold and fever, his efforts are just to exchange for a stable life, hoping that there will be a beautiful girl to form a happy family with him in the future, but now because of a mercy he has lost his only job.
"God?" Downing scoffed. "Poor Foster, God may be sitting on his bed, he has a lot to do, but he doesn't have time for you little man, and it's not God who has taken your job. ”
Forster's eyes were bloodshot at the ridicule. "Despicable noble son, you took away my job, maybe you felt the pleasure of bullying a little person, now that you are satisfied, I will kill you. ”
Downing picked up the sword in his seat. "It's pitiful, but I won't sympathize with me, I hope your swordsmanship won't be too bad, and besides, I'm going to correct it, it's the government workers who took your job, not me. ”
Foster looked at the bright blade of the sword, and the courage just now was instantly suppressed again, and the cowardice in the little man's bones made him give up the idea of doing it.
"You won, I'm completely ruined by you, and whoever takes my job away, I'm a loser. "Foster is like a walking corpse, losing his soul.
Tang Ning put down his sword and snapped his fingers. "Don't do that, Mr. Foster, losing this job doesn't mean you have nothing, maybe you get a better opportunity to work with me. ”
Foster was indifferent.
"Well, since you don't have the fighting spirit anymore, and you don't even have the courage to regain everything you've lost, then I can't help you. Downing motioned for the car to stop and opened the door.
Foster looked at the muddy road, he thought, he has nothing left, not even the slightest hope, what is there to worry about, what is the use of this cheap life, he should make the person who took his job pay, instead of hiding at home and waiting for death.
"Tell me, what can you do?" Forster suddenly changed his mind, and his eyes turned vicious.
Tangning closed the car door and pulled a stack of Caesars out of the box. "It was a pleasure to work with. ”
Bidding farewell to Foster, Downing chose to stay in one of the largest inns in town, and the first object of revenge, who was nothing more than a small opponent, left from Caterta, and the first person he thought of was to take the thousandth of Count Cafu from Uncle Anubarak's original fortune.
This little person who used to just sort out official documents for Uncle Anubarak was because of his leaks, which gave some people who coveted Uncle Anubarak's property an opportunity.
He listened to this story for eighteen years, Anubarak, the great banker who was once respected by everyone, his wealth was rivaled by the country, but in the end he was framed, not only in terms of property, but even his reputation was ruined, from a big banker to a black gold merchant that everyone shouted at, reviled by the world, and stripped of everything, and finally could only hide in the god-forsaken hell of the cursed land of Kaiserta and the remaining ninety-eight wicked people, even so, he kept his clothes neat, and the secret of money flowed in his blood.
And Don rather not intend to use any law to administer justice for Uncle Anubarak, if the old law could administer justice, Uncle Anubarak would not have been exiled to Catherta, he would have to fight for a tooth, judge darkness with darkness.
As for why Foster was chosen, Downing had a very thoughtful consideration.
Foster is a poor man, an orphan, no relatives, not even someone who cares about him, this precious job is his only hope, as long as his job is taken away and his only hope is lost, then this poor and cowardly little man will become as ferocious as the devil, Downing chose Foster to be his helper in his plan, and it seems that his plan is foolproof at the moment, because he needs a government agent to willingly spread rumors for him.
There was an urgent knock on the door, and Downing opened the door to the hotel.
"Is there anything you guys are up to?" Looking at the two people at the door, Tang Ning's vigilance increased a little.
The two men were dressed in cheap suits and ties, and a tall, thin man took off his top hat and placed it on his chest to salute. "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, we are plainclothes sheriffs of the Sheriff's Department. ”
The time for the time finally came, and Downing let the door out. "I don't think I've done anything wrong, and at Count Cafu's banquet I hope my words didn't bother him, and even made the good man go so far as to use the plainclothes sheriff of the sheriff's office to arrest me. ”
Two plainclothes sheriffs entered the room, and the tall, thin sheriff took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and took a deep breath. "I think you're mistaken, we're here to have nothing to do with that, we're just routinely checking the town's foreign population, you know, the town's security can't be relaxed, it's our duty. ”
"Of course. Tang Ning motioned for the two to check at will.
The two sheriffs searched all the corners of the room, and the tall, thin plainclothes sheriff held out his hand. "Please present an item that proves your identity. ”
Downing took out a family badge representing his identity. "I'm happy to work with both of you. ”
The identity badge possessed by those family members is undoubtedly the best proof of this, and the pattern on this family badge of Tangning is three sharp blades.
The badge was made of pure gold, and it was impossible for ordinary people to have it, except for those people of the big family, and the two plainclothes sheriffs saw the badge and were sure that they couldn't afford to mess with this big man.
"Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day. Handing the badge back, the tall and thin sheriff reminded him. "The town has always been very safe, but there have been a lot of homicides, and I hope you are safe. ”
There was something threatening about this sentence, and Tang Ning was silent. "Thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention. ”
When the two sheriffs left, Tang Ning lay on the bed and stretched comfortably. "Count Cafu, I hope you won't be too surprised to know the pattern of the coat of arms. ”
