"Your Excellency, the shop has been recruited, and the actual controller behind this shop is the merchant Marseille.

Marseille, a businessman who joined the town of Lakeside with refugees earlier this year, bought a ready-made house on the day he moved into the city.

Subsequently, an elf interactive experience store, two tree fruit stores, and two restaurants were opened one after another, with rich assets. ”

The guard Reynolds reported respectfully, basically finding out the bottom of Marseille.

But...... That's not enough!

"I remember that there are restrictions on the purchase and lease of the store, check how he took advantage of the loopholes, and whether there are any insiders to help him cover up."

Victor paused, and then said: "The movement is small, and I will report the results first." ”

"Yes, lord!"

Renault took the order, but Victor's attention was kept on the other side.

Cathy's medical team had been called in by him and were conducting a thorough examination of the elves.

Obviously, it's not just otters who are hurting.

Almost all of the elves here have been harmed or even abused by humans, the difference is only the length of time, and the severity.

"Young master, this may be the reason why no one has found out here."

Daniel suddenly ran over with the wooden sign in his hand.

[In order to avoid the elves in the store being frightened, please do not bring other elves inside]

"Oh, it's really dark under the lights!"

Victor laughed angrily, no wonder even if there was Ubo in the store, it was not discovered by the people scattered around the town.

Or...... There's a cover on it!

"Young master, the water otter has a good foundation, as long as you supplement your nutrition well during this time, there will be no problem.

It is the water otter's emotions and resistance to humans may be stronger. ”

Cathy also finished her examination and came to Victor's side to report.

"What about the other elves?"

Cathy shook her head and said, "The injuries are not serious, except that the otter is more rebellious, which has caused him to be abused and tortured for a long time."

The other elves should have been tamed by them quickly, so there weren't many injuries on their bodies.

But psychologically ......"

Cathy stopped and said nothing, but Victor understood.

He was forcibly imprisoned, watched and entertained every day, and if he did not behave well during the day, he would be taught and abused after the store was closed.

In such an environment, how can there be a healthy mentality?

In the back, even if you witness the stubborn water otter, I am afraid that you will only have the word 'stupid' in your heart.

"This batch of elves will be handed over to you, and after the treatment is completed, I will personally send back the elves belonging to the three tribes of the ocean.

For the rest, let's just release it. ”

Victor said in a dull voice, he had to wipe his ass in the end.

"Okay, young master!" Cathy said respectfully, with anger and helplessness in her eyes.

Even though the guards had sealed off the neighborhood, the news had spread from the beginning.

Suddenly, rumors spread!

Although the general trend is to accuse the owner of the interactive experience hall of abusing the elves.

But there was also a little bit of a voice that rubbed so darkly, and the boss's words of slandering the guards got out.

Rumors are such a thing, that is, the more taboo and not allowed to spread, the faster it will spread!

Victor, as the person who has been bombarded by explosive news in Blue Star, is very keenly aware of the slightest hint.

"Daniel, take a trip to the school and get Principal West here."

"Yes, young master!"

"Please go directly to the Lord's Mansion! I didn't bother to go shopping, so I went back first. ”

"Young master, I'll send ...... first You please! ”

"Hmm."

Soon, Victor left the storefront that had been cordoned off and rode away on the Flying Fish.

After a few minutes......

"Aunt Tom, I'd better eat lunch at home, just help me get some as you like."

"Okay young master, I'll arrange it right away!"

Aunt Tom didn't ask why, but ran to get ready.

Victor returned to his study, his mind full of today's events.

It didn't take long for Daniel to bring Principal West over.

"I've seen the lord!"

"Well, Headmaster West, something like this happened today......"

Victor first recounted the matter in detail, and then expressed his conjecture.

"There should be a lot of talk in the town right now, and many of them are rumors about the Guards.

Next, I will ask the principal to help me do ideological propaganda, which has two main contents.

First, shatter the rumors and emphasize that the scene is acting on my orders.

Second, to promote the proper way for humans to get along with elves, abuse, beatings, and verbal abuse will only lead to drifting away from each other.

These are the two cores, and I'm in trouble with the principal. ”

"Rest assured, the lord guarantees to complete the task."

West bowed down to take orders, neither of which was difficult for him.

Compared with helping refugees at the beginning of the year and conducting ideological and moral education every day, it is already much easier.

Principal West leaves, and a distraught Victor sits alone on the couch in the study with the miniature dragon in his arms.

Although I had long expected dark corners under the sun, I didn't expect Lakeside Town to develop for so long, and shadows followed.

The frenzied influx of refugees at the beginning of the year was like adding many other different colors to this large paint plate in Lakeside.

Victor didn't even have time to assimilate the colors, they had already blended into the town first.

Now, the "black" in it is gradually fermenting and beginning to infect the place with a brutal attitude.

Victor's previous all-hands polygraph eliminated most of the "black".

But the black ...... It's never just insiders.

"Marseille ...... the Merchant"

Victor pronounced the name of the "black" member, and his faith was stronger than ever.

Although he will not be naïve to fantasize about exterminating all the "black".

But at least...... The current lakeside town is still too short and small to shine so many shades.

"Miyo~"

The well-behaved mini-dragon gently climbed onto Victor's shoulder, and its little tail stretched out, trying to smooth Victor's frowning brow.

"I'm fine, don't scare you today."

"Miyo~"

The mini-dragon wrapped around Victor tightly, showing trust and concern with his actions.

"There is indeed dregs among humans, so you should also pay attention in the future, don't trust humans so easily."

"Miyo!"

The mini dragon nodded obediently, and silently added a sentence in his heart.

"Except for Victor!"

An hour later, General Hancous, Chief Peak, Chief Officer Bender, Cathy, the director of the Love Fish Hospital, and the vice-captain Renaud had all arrived at the Lord's Palace.

In the conference room, Renault, the main investigator of the case, is reporting the results.

"Marseille, a businessman, once opened the same shop in Marshland, and because of the huge profits from it, he came to Lakeside and copied the current shop.

Other than that...... His five existing stores are one each on his wife, father, mother, son, and himself.

Then, hypnosis was used to interfere with the review of the on-site staff during the procedure, and the purchase was finally completed. ”
