Beta paused, and then continued, "Siso said, "You hired him to deal with us. Can you explain what happened?"

Sitting in the main seat of someone else's house, crossing his legs, behind him was a terrible Shirley. Beta's style looked like a playboy from a big noble family and was ignorant. But Claude did not dare to underestimate him. On the surface, he was very calm, but in fact he was scolding him.

He had never thought that he would be betrayed by Xisuo, and most importantly, the other party came to the door so quickly, which made him not prepared at all.

Although he was nervous inside, he was still quite calm on the surface. He smiled with a gentleman unique to the nobles and said, "Sorry, although I know who Xisso is, I have never had any relationship with him. If I had to say anything, I met at the party a few months ago."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether what Xiso said is." A quill on the desktop where Beta was playing with: "I think it's you."

"Your Excellency is so unreasonable." Claude was stunned for a moment, then said with a gloomy face: "Can the law in Tonggu City not restrain you?"

"Of course the law of Tonggu City can restrain me, and I don't plan to do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Claude breathed a sigh of relief.

But unexpectedly, Beta suddenly said, "But I can ask what industries are under your family. If it is a shop or something, it may not be able to open a business for a long time. If it is a mineral or something, it may be stolen in large quantities during transportation. What do you think about this?"

Looking at Bettan's understatement, Claude felt frustrated. This was indeed a common practice among nobles, but the other party did not ask the reason or the reason, or even just based on the rhetoric of a nouveau riche, and he would directly break up with him. This approach was very arrogant, but also very royal.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You are really unreasonable. Do you just believe Xisuo's words?"

"It doesn't matter." Beta put down the quill that was playing with in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and smiled evilly, but there was a pressure that no one else could do: "I just believe it, I just need to believe it!"

Claude was like falling into an ice cave. He never thought that he would meet such a difficult person. He thought that the other party was an outsider. After coming to Tonggu City, no matter how powerful he was, he had to stay in a row. After all, this is the territory of Holewen's strongest gun wizard, a quasi-legendary-level strongman, and Greenton.

And he was very confident and could convince Greenton to not help each other.

But Claude never expected that Greenton would not help each other because he didn't think Beta would lose.

Greenton already knew what kind of virtues and energy the Son of Gold had in his dreams. In fact, he really hoped to become Beta's Knight of the Round Table, but the responsibility of the head of the family was bound by him, making him unable to let go of his hands and feet to do what he wanted to do.

Claude was very confident. He felt that as long as Greenton didn't take action, it would not be easy for him to deal with a little guy from another place.

But he didn't expect that this outsider would be so difficult and play so unreasonable.

He stood quietly, looking at Beta, with a little anger in his eyes, but more of a sense of shame that his self-esteem was trampled on.

"If you don't speak, we'll just smell it." Beta stood up.

"Wait!" Claude almost popped up these two words from his teeth. His anger was patient in his heart, and then he said with difficulty: "How do you want to expose this matter."

"Reason!" Beta said lightly: "I want to know first why you are trying to deal with our temple and our source of materials."

“Because of interests.”

Beta turned around and left without saying anything.

"Wait!" Claude was anxious now.

Beta turned around and said in an unquestionable tone: "You have another chance. If the answer makes me unsatisfied, then I think the Micks will soon become a pauper family."

Claude's face was very wonderful, and all kinds of emotions were changing on his face. Finally, he seemed to be over ten years old and said helplessly: "I am a believer of the goddess of fate. Now there is no other belief in Tonggu City for the time being, but you want to build a temple here...so."

"So that's the case." Beta nodded: "But it seems that your belief in the goddess of destiny is not enough. It's about your own interests, so I decisively sold the goddess. It seems that you really don't know what kind of temper the god has."

"What do you mean?" Claude was a little anxious.

"Nothing." Beta smiled: "As a believer of God, he betrayed God for his interests. If you are a powerful profession, perhaps the gods will turn a blind eye, but you are just a nobleman. Even if they don't punish you personally, they will naturally settle you when they have time."

Claude smiled uneasyly: "Your Excellency is really kidding."

"Is it a joke? You will know after a while." Beta shook his head: "Tomorrow you can send some compensation to the slums... You can do the exact amount of gold coins yourself. Of course, if you feel unwilling to accept it, you can come to me and I will continue. But if you fail to revenge next time, the consequences will not be as simple as it is now."

Claude didn't say anything, he felt Beta's threat with a little murderous aura.

Beta smiled and left here with obvious contempt.

After Beta left, Claude untied his coat and threw it on the ground... He had lived for decades and had never tried to be so angry. Even more than 20 years ago, when he offended a big man and apologized, he had never tried to be so uncomfortable.

He took a few breaths on the spot. At this time, the guards had already woken up. One of them ran over and was about to ask questions in panic. He slapped the guard with a fierce slap, directly hitting the guard's mouth to bleeding, and his own palm was also numb.

Beta didn't know what Claude would feel in the future, nor did he want to know.

In the game, he had been dealing with the nobles for a long time. At first, he planned to solve the problem through communication, but later he found that communication was of nobility to those nobles. They didn't like you but didn't like you, and the only way was to beat them to obedience.

The most common principles in this world are money and violence.

He returned to the slum and happened to see Sisso staying at Zorro's home with a gift of apology.

Beta gathered several of his students and told them that everything would continue tomorrow.

Then he asked Joan of Arc to pay attention to the movements of the Claude family in the sky, so as not to be angry and intend to break the verge of death.

But reality proved that Claude was much more timid than Beta had imagined. Although Beta's big fuss about the Mick family spread in Tonggu City, many people were secretly laughing at him, but he still pretended that nothing had happened.

To a certain extent, those who are "tolerant" are also considered a kind of talent.

There was nothing to describe in the days that followed. The construction of the slums continued day by day. The sewers were dug and the stone slabs were paved on the road. Two months passed in one go.

The slums changed a lot, the streets became clean, and after rain, there would be no sewage flowing over and over again. The sewage directly discharged the sewage into the small rivers elsewhere.

The one who really changed the most were the people in the slums. Because every household had people working for Beta, three or five copper coins, the food they bought was enough for the family to eat, and more than half of the remaining ones were left. Therefore, the people in the slums now looked much more energetic, no longer the hungry and malnutritional state that two months ago were two years ago.

Those families with small populations can even save a lot of copper coins and buy some better clothes for their families. The originally dark slums suddenly have some bright colors.

Beta also gained a lot of people's expectations. After the workers finished their work, their favorite thing was to chat with several Beta's students.

Because they were also from poor families, several students could chat with the poor. These poor people were already grateful to the priests who were willing to work for them. Then, under the sincere praise of the students, Beta's people directly reached a very high level in the slums.

If you use game terms, your reputation has reached "respect", which is not far from worship.

After the sewers and roads in the slums were built, Beta began to build a temple.

Because Beta has a lot of money this time and the place is large enough, he plans to build the temple more generously. It does not require it to be luxurious, but at least it must look large enough... the area must be large and the height must be sufficient.

Just as the construction was about to start... Greenton sent someone over and said he would invite him to the city lord's mansion to attend the dinner.

Beta naturally took Shirley to the banquet.

They arrived at the venue first, because it was still early before the dinner began, and Beta sat in Greenton's study, and the two chatted casually.

"Two months have passed now." Greenton said with some concern: "But your temple has not been built yet. In another month, people from other temples will definitely come to recruit people. What will you do then?"

"It doesn't matter if they come, because they must have the advantage of preaching to the noble class." Beta smiled: "Then the ordinary citizen class, I have enough time to build the temple, and then transform most of the people in the slum into believers of the goddess Wojin."

Speaking of Goddess Wokin, Greenton couldn't help but look at Shirley again.

Beta didn't want to talk about the topic of Goddess Wokin. He changed his mind and asked, "What is the theme of the dinner later."

"Alice's 170th birthday." Greenton sighed in a tone: "She is finally an adult."
