Sure enough, as Claire expected, after Wendy's Grand Theater announced the suspension of the performance, Randolph also quickly issued an announcement and also suspended the performance.

After such a long period of high-intensity work, those masters have reached the limit, especially those scriptwriters, the ink in their stomachs is about to be drained, and it used to take months of meticulous work to write a good quality script, but now I will give a few days, who can stand it, if it weren't for so many peers, who can help, it won't last so long.

So after Claire's side notified the suspension of the performance, these masters went to Randolph to apply for a few days off, and Randolph also nodded and approved, he, as the person in charge, had already seen that his side would collapse sooner or later if it continued like this, but he was afraid that Claire's side would take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he couldn't help but resist hard, and now the opposite side suspended the performance first, and he was also relieved.

The only ones who were disappointed were the tourists in Nafu, but they soon turned their attention to other consumer goods in Nafu and started shopping and playing on a shopping spree. Claire had long established a playground in the East End, and the commercial consumption area in the East End was more than enough to support these people's consumption.

And Isaac's new magic airship has also been released, and there is another income and expenditure item, and a large number of people have sent gold coins into Claire's pocket last time for a hundred gold coins a day.

In short, these days, the economy of Nafu City ushered in a climax, and because of Wendy's battle with those masters, the reputation of Nafu City has further risen a lot, every day there are constantly new tourists coming to Nafu City, Reagan is busy on the ground, constantly coming up with all kinds of new entertainment and new services and goods, so as not to bring those tourists to the disappointment.

Unconsciously, Nafu City has now surpassed most of the medium-sized cities, although it is not as large as some of the big cities in terms of scale, but it has surpassed many large cities in terms of economy, and Claire's tax revenue in this month has reached four or five million gold coins, which is several times that of before.

……

Randolph didn't dare to say that he was superior to Claire in terms of intelligence, so his strategy in Naffu City was always defensive, lest Claire see some fatal hole when he made his moves, and then give himself a fatal blow.

But in the next few days, there was no new movement on Claire's side, he knew that Claire's side would not stop so easily, but it did not affect him to be able to take a good rest in the past few days, after all, only by raising enough energy can he better deal with the next various means.

Early one morning, Randolph got up from his hotel bed, washed up briefly, and walked out of his room. Today, as usual, he will still go to the South End to watch the rehearsals of the masters, although Claire's side has suspended the performance, but there is no guarantee when he will start to resume the performance, so he still can't relax.

"Morning! Mr. Steve! Randolph smiled and greeted the innkeeper.

Steve was still talking and laughing with the other guests, but when he heard Randolph's greeting, his smile froze for a moment, and he didn't smile and greet Randolph as usual.

Randolph thought it was a little strange, but he didn't care and continued: "I'm going out!" May the Lord protect you! ”

He hadn't gone far before Randolph felt a sense of discomfort in his back, and he felt that the passers-by were looking at him with a strange gaze.

Randolph stopped, turned back sharply, and met the staring eyes with disdain, disgust, and fear.

"Wow, wow, wow!" A child cried directly when he saw Randolph who turned around.

The pedestrians, who were suddenly stunned, were also awakened by this cry, and they all withdrew their gaze, looked at the ground, and walked away quickly.

Randolph wanted to call out to one of them to ask why, but the men saw him as if they had seen a plague god, and they didn't want to talk at all.

Randolph now has only one thought in his mind: something big has happened!

It must have been that Claire who did it again, otherwise these people would not have changed their attitude towards themselves so much, and they would have greeted themselves in a friendly way yesterday!

At the thought of this, an anxious look appeared on Randolph's face, and he stopped walking so leisurely, and trotted all the way to the theater in the South End.

……

As soon as Randolph ran outside the theater, before he could enter, several priests rushed out of it, and after seeing Randolph, they ran over as quickly as if they had seen the backbone.

"Your Excellency, something is wrong!"

"Your Excellency! You're finally here! ”

"We're going to look for you!"

"Your Excellency Bishop......"

Those priests looked anxious, rushed to Randolph's side, and rushed to speak, annoying Randolph, who was already a little impatient!

Wave your hand! Oh: "Quiet! Say it one by one! ”

When the priests heard the roar, they all fell silent, and no longer scrambled to speak, but looked at each other.

Randolph frowned when he saw this, "Now let you say, you can't say it?" ”

Then he pointed to a priest and said, "Tell me, what's going on, you guys are so panicked." ”

The priest swallowed, sorted out what he was going to say a little, and after ten seconds or so, he spoke: "Here's the thing, when I first got up today......

Randolph glared angrily, "Why don't you start from when you were born and pick the key points!" ”

Randolph's state of mind was a little irritated now, and the thought that this was Claire's countermeasure to himself, and the appearance of these priests like headless flies, his temper could not be as calm as usual.

The reprimand's head shrank in fear, and then he said briefly, "Someone is spreading bad news about our church again......"

A hint of coldness flashed in Randolph's eyes, and he slowly raised his head to look at it and asked, "What did you say!" ”

"Someone is spreading bad news against our church." The pastor repeated it again and continued: "Most of them are news of corruption and bribery by pastors in many cities, and there are also some pastors who are inconsistent in appearance, do not follow the canons, enter and exit *** places, and in more serious cases, there are strong x women, buying murder ......"

Listening to the priest's description, Randolph's eyes widened and his body trembled.

He knows these things more or less, the church's restraint on pastors is not very strong, and many pastors in remote areas act completely consciously, so it is normal for some scum to appear in the pastor group, but because the church is doing a particularly good job in handling things, some news broke out, and it was pressed down before it spread, not only that, but even in some big cities, bishopric-level clergy will take the lead in corruption, collecting money or doing things that do not abide by canons and laws, And this is a common thing in their eyes.

But it's one thing to be able to do it, and it's another thing to be exposed, not to mention that there are still things that can't be done in these broken news, and the circumstances are extremely serious, such as: strong X, buying murder, forcibly occupying farmers' land......
