Vol 3 Chapter 405: .clue
With Woody’s assurance, Sean didn’t worry about the other party’s repayment, and directly told Woody about the Blackhorn Phantom.
After all, Woody is the real hero of this city.
After listening to Sean's words, Woody's face naturally changed drastically.
There is no more doubtful situation than Christina. As the real manager of Adroan City, Woody is dealing with the entire city every day, so he is naturally familiar with the changes in Adroan City. Nevertheless. Therefore, when Hearing Noire was seriously injured and treated the entire city of Adroan as a lair, and wanted to nourish his injuries by devouring living people, Woody immediately knew that what Shaun had said was true.
"In the past half month, nearly a thousand people have disappeared in Adroan." Woody said solemnly.
Xiao En’s face changed drastically when he heard it, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Hundreds of people are missing, didn’t you, the city lord, have ordered an investigation?"
"In the beginning, only some homeless people and poor beggars in the city were missing." Woody replied in a deep voice.
Sean is also a lord, and he naturally knows the guidelines and strategies of some city management plans.
There will be a large number of homeless people and beggars in every city. No matter how good the welfare of Void City is, the vast majority of people have gotten rid of their poor status, but according to Neal’s assessment, there are still more than two thousand beggars. These people just came to Void City a bit late, so they did not get on the train when Void City thrived, so naturally they could not get rid of their status as the poor. In addition, Void City became extremely prosperous and the market prices naturally Correspondingly, it has improved a lot, so the life of these poor people soon becomes difficult, and they can only rely on some welfare assistance policies to live on.
Originally, as long as these people leave the void city, they will invest in the construction of the city in the border area. Naturally, you can live better.
But because of the existence of the welfare assistance policy, these people have become a bit lazy, and no one wants to leave as long as they don’t die.
This is a common problem in many cities and territories.
Ordered these to be expelled or killed, the method is naturally a bit cruel. And it is impossible to achieve complete confidentiality.
So no matter where it is. They would all adopt an attitude of turning one eye and closing one eye toward the disappearance of these homeless people.
Woody’s words were not particularly clear, but Sean could hear it, and he did not care about the reasons for the disappearance of these homeless men and beggars. Perhaps in his opinion, this is a good urban development trend, because it may be possible to reclaim some areas occupied by these homeless people, or even cancel some welfare assistance policies.
In general, it is natural that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
But Sean can understand. But it does not mean that Christina can understand.
She was furious immediately: "You are a lord. Whether you are a tramp or a beggar, they are your citizens, not slaves. You should treat them equally! They are missing, you should immediately order to proceed. Investigate! Instead of indulging and ignoring their disappearance!"
Woody smiled helplessly, naturally he couldn't help but slander.
In fact, the development concept of the Peace Council is naturally incompatible with the entire Miracle Continent.
Because in the whole world, from emperors to civilians. Naturally, we are constantly working hard for a better future. Whether world peace is important or not is not at all important to them. There are even many who are very eager for the whole world to fall into war, because only in this way can they squeeze more benefits. So no matter what class people are, they are simply laymen who chase benefits and exist.
Even the gods, for the sake of more faith and a larger area of faith, don’t you let your own church beat you to death?
The peaceful parliament’s idea of wanting world unity is naturally unrealistic for the entire Miracle Continent.
But on the contrary, there are many powerful people who have devoted themselves to this idea, not only fighting against demons and demons, but also fighting against conspirators who destroy world peace. They are simply the peacekeeping forces of the Miracle Continent. Of course, some of the methods used by this force are indeed too extreme and extreme. At least normal people do not have their methods to get a country out of corruption and completely slaughter all corrupt officials and high-level officials in the entire country.
Looking at Woody’s wry laugh, Sean naturally knew and knew what this person was thinking, but he didn’t plan to say anything.
In any case, he is now wearing the garb of a peace parliament. He can't refute Christina's point of view, right?
Is that tantamount to admitting that he is not a member of the Peace Council?
It’s just that when Sean turned his head and glanced at Alyssa and Levi, his expression looked a little wrong.
Because of Levi and Alisha, they looked at Christina with admiration. At this time, Xiao En remembered that the situation on the floating island seemed to be a real peace in the world, unlike the situation in the realm, where there were so many conflicts of interest and crooked thoughts. Sean didn't want these two powerful bodyguards from the floating island to be abducted by the idea of the Peace Council. He also hoped to abduct these two men back to the Void Principality as nuclear weapons.
So, Sean hurriedly said: "So...what's the situation now?"
"Just two days before Miss Christina found me, I really realized that the problem may be more serious than I thought." Woody said in a deep voice, "The whole Adroan, although I never I have counted them, but there are still 2,000 or 3,000 beggars and homeless people, but in this half a month, there have been half fewer beggars and homeless people, so I can't help but wonder."
Adroan’s situation is different from that of Void City.
Since the war, Void City and the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance have broken all ties, and the caravan trade with them has decreased a lot, so the unemployment rate has actually increased a lot. But Adroan is also a prosperous trading city, and there are still many caravans. Therefore, homeless people and beggars can still find some work. In a sense, these homeless people and beggars still have work. A certain value.
However, nearly half of the homeless people and beggars are suddenly lost. This situation will naturally cause a shortage of porters' work types, and it will be impossible not to attract attention.
"It seems that the black horned magic demon is seriously injured." Sean glanced at Christina, he didn't know what the fighting situation was like. However, it can force a demon to devour a large number of lives regardless of means, and it seems that the injury is definitely not light.
Woody was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes. It has indeed increased dramatically. Since the self-styled city has been under military control, there are reports that more than 30 or 40 people are missing every day in the city of Adroan. At the time... even close to a hundred people... In fact, it was precisely this situation that caused some panic, so those caravans, mercenaries, and adventurers would work together to pressure me and force me to lift the lockdown. They all thought ..."
"I thought you were the one who caused the ghost?" Sean said coldly. "A bunch of idiots... I want to know. Who is the caller who joined forces to put pressure on you?"
"Yes..." Woody looked embarrassed. Although he didn't say anything, he still looked at Assaz.
"How did this kind of stuff become the richest man?" Xiao En rolled his eyes, he already probably knew what was going on, "Azaz, you get me here!"
Hearing Sean’s roar, Assaz was reluctant, but when he saw Sean and the others, even Woody’s army just said they killed them. Of course he didn't dare to hesitate anymore. Especially looking at Woody and Levi's fight, even they don't know what's going on. After feeling a silver light suddenly shined, Woody announced his surrender, which naturally made them feel unusually panic.
"Tell me, who suggested to you to pressure the Lord Woody and force him to lift the lockdown?" Xiao En said coldly, "If you dare to lie to me, you will know the consequences."
"Yes... It's Roberts." Assaz touched Sean's cold eyes, he immediately said, "It was he who proposed to me. People. Moreover, he also promised that as long as our joint pressure plan is successful, we will set up a new chamber of commerce with my respect and joint control..." At this point, Asazi glanced at Woody before gritting his teeth. Directly confided: "...together control the trade trends and markets of the entire city of Adroan."
This sentence really made Woody very angry.
Currently, the adjustment of market price fluctuations in Adroan is the final decision by the Wyrian family. Because there is no second chamber of commerce in the entire city of Adroan except the Wyrian Chamber of Commerce controlled by Wyrian. The main reason is that the entry of these chambers must be reviewed by the Wyrian family. Once there is a threat to Wyrian. At the beginning of the Chamber of Commerce, Woody will naturally adopt a suppressive policy as soon as possible.
However, if the six wealthy businessmen of Adroan join hands to establish a chamber of commerce, then let alone contend, even if Woody wants to suppress it, it is impossible to do it. Because the Wyrian Chamber of Commerce has been able to achieve such a large scale, it is naturally because Woody has taken a differentiated approach to deal with these six wealthy businessmen, preventing them from working together in the Chamber of Commerce. As for other cooperation, Woody You also open one eye and close one eye, can't he eat meat but don't even give others the soup, right?
As a result, I didn't expect that these guys had already secretly colluded, and they were waiting to solve themselves.
"The name of the chamber of commerce you formed, isn't it called the Medusa Chamber of Commerce?" Sean asked.
"No, it's not..." Asazi shook his head, "The name of the Chamber of Commerce is called Noire."
"Black Horn?" Kristina's eyes were cold, and she had obviously realized something.
Sean also sneered: "This devil is really bold enough.... Mr. Roberts' mansion is also one of our goals this time?"
"Yes, but it's just a slight suspicion. According to our plan, it should have been the third inspection." Christina nodded.
"Now that there is tangible evidence, there is no need to make any prioritization." Sean said lightly, "I believe that Mr. Woody should be happy to assist us in the Peace Council and jointly eliminate this. It’s just a devil, right?"
"Extremely happy!" Woody was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and said, "I will immediately mobilize the Wyrian Cavalry Corps to set up a defensive position to completely surround the pagan mansion to prevent the opponent from escaping."
"Mr. Asazi, although it has been proven that you are not a heretic, you were also taken advantage of by a heretic. I think you also want to be ashamed?" Sean nodded to Woody. , Then turned his head and looked at Asazi, his tone was calm but he spoke with an unquestionable attitude.
"I...but I don't have anyone anymore." Asazi was crying.
"Isn't there a guard next to you?" Sean's gaze fell on the personal guard of Asazi, "Mr. Woody was injured just now. If you face the devil's desperate breakthrough, I'm afraid It will be a little too much....I think you don’t want to see the demon break through and leave, do you? In that case, you should be happy to let your guards join the battle, right?"
Azazi was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that the eyes of everyone around him were not so friendly. He immediately understood that he no longer had the right to refuse. (To be continued~^~)
