Chapter 140: Jace's Determination

On the afternoon of June 14, the day after the Battle of Patras, Sylja had been in her office at the Lord's Palace since early in the morning, reading through the materials that Cavo had left behind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Those thick ledgers are naturally records of black transactions, not only human trafficking, but also other transactions such as mineral resources, drugs, and the resale of firearms and weapons. Then there was the financial expenditure, and the vast wealth obtained from the transaction, in addition to the construction of the city of Patras, was mostly used to finance the underground party.

What Shirya really wanted to find out was where the missing people in the city had been sold, and after a look, it was found that the missing people were not only young girls, but also young men who were being traded, and this was confirmed by the city report sent by Ian.

Most of these young girls were sent to the big cities and sold to the wealthy people in the cities, while the young men were sent to the mines to exploit the mineral resources for profit.

In particular, the only orphanage in the city, which was staffed by Carvo, raised children who had no one to take care of them (when in fact they were just to work), and when they reached a certain age, they were sold, and Shirley was one of the victims.

Hirya thought for a long time about serving as the mayor of the new city yesterday, in her subjective consciousness, she was unwilling, even repulsive, but when she thought of those innocent children, she couldn't let go of the burden in her heart. Fifteen years ago, these children were too young to be involved in the incident, so there was no reason to blame them.

The second is gratitude, she was saved by everyone, it can be said that in this short half a month, it was a turning point in her tragic life, allowing her to completely walk out of the haze of the past. And what about these poor children? Do they need someone to save them more? If they don't go, if everybody prevaricates, then who else can save them?

The so-called gratitude is not as simple as thanking the benefactor for the kindness received, but continuing to pass on this kindness, so that more people can feel happiness and warmth. So Hirya decided that she would take on the responsibility.

The others are still busy, and through everyone's efforts, all the injured people in the city have basically been treated, and only a few particularly seriously injured people need special treatment, and the so-called special treatment of course refers to Angel and Amy's magical healing.

In the evening, after everyone had gathered for dinner, Shirja called Jace out.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Your Highness the Beauty City Lord!" Jace still joked so much.

Hilja smiled softly at Jace and said, "Thank you! And your friends, if it weren't for you, maybe I'd be dead by now! ”

Jace waved his hand, smiled casually, and then hurriedly said, "It's nothing! It is the duty and obligation of every gentleman to go to the soup for a beautiful woman! Also, what do you mean by my friends? Everyone is a friend, and my friend is also your friend, and everyone is not divided into each other. ”

"Then I want to thank you very much, will you accept it?"

Shirya asked such a question, leaving Jace stunned, not understanding what she meant.

Shirya continued: "The wounds of this city, I don't know how long it will take to be completely repaired, I don't know if I can carry this burden, every time I think of this, I feel a sense of powerlessness in my heart, I need someone who can be trusted to help me, if I want you to stay, will you promise me?"

"Well...... Eh......" Jace was asked, hesitated for a long time, and was suddenly invited by the beautiful woman, she didn't know how to answer.

Hirya suddenly stood on tiptoe, trying to imprint her red lips on Jace's lips.

This time, however, Jace took a step back in a panic and dodged.

Hirya opened her eyes, the corners of her eyes were a little ruddy, a little lost, she opened her arms, hugged Jace, and then said, "I know, thank you for your continued care, I wish you happiness in the future." ”

With that, Syla walked into the palace, leaving Jace alone.

"Is it okay for someone like me to be happy?" Jace muttered to himself, in fact, in his heart, there is something he insists on, but he is too good at disguising himself, no one knows, maybe in his heart, there is also his own loneliness!

Neume suddenly walked out, leaning her back against the wall, and teased, "Why don't you kiss it?

Jace looked at Newmay and then at the setting sun in the west, and replied meaningfully, "If I kiss it, I may not be able to leave!

A gentle smile hung on Newme's face, "That's not going to ......"

After this, Jace approached Lista and asked him, "Brother, the five million gold coins seized on the black market last time are still in your possession, right?"

Lista nodded while drawing the drawings, and replied lightly, "That's right, it's still in my hands." ”

"Can you take it out? I want to keep all this money and use it to rebuild the city. ”

Lista stopped what he was doing, frowned slightly, and suddenly felt in his heart that he had underestimated this guy's consciousness before, and then he raised his head and asked, "You, are you sure?"

"Sure, this money is owed to the city by Carver and Hody, and we are just going to return it on our behalf. After Jace finished speaking, he smiled relievedly, and then continued: "How many of us brothers, it's not easy to make money? ”

"Yes. Lista watched Jace's back leave the room and answered.

Then Lista stood up and found Sylya, who was still crying silently in the office, and didn't say anything, just took the whole box of gold coins out of the void and placed them neatly on the floor of the office.

"What are these ......?" Silya saw that Lista was about to leave, she quickly wiped away her tears and asked.

"Jace asked me to give it to you, this will help you rebuild the city of Patras. Lista paused, then added: "He will take the initiative to hand over the money, which shows that he cares about you." Make good use of this money! Because it's too heavy. ”

Hirya nodded silently and said softly, "Thank you, I see." ”

Lista walked out of the office, but Jace appeared in the darkness of the aisle in front of him, and Jace said lightly, "Brother, you talked too much this time. ”
