Chapter 108 The boomerang hits itself
Cunning Shadow·Gravel feels like his head is getting big!
Why did this boomerang suddenly hit him back?
He indeed threatened to invest 1,500 gold coins in the auditorium in order to stimulate the atmosphere. The more he invested, the more he would earn.
In fact, he didn't even plan to spend a single copper!
As a result, he was suddenly stopped by someone, and the reason was that he was asked to borrow money to invest in the club. This made Cunning Shadow Gravel really...unable to refuse!
If he didn't even ask for the money presented to him, wouldn't it make people doubt the authenticity of his previous statement that he would invest 1,500 gold coins? Furthermore, if he suspected that he would invest 1,500 gold coins, he would be in big trouble.
Cunning Shadow Gravel tried to struggle one last time and reminded Pett in a low voice: "Sir, I have already invested 1,000 gold, and the limit is full. If I invest in the club in your name, it is against the rules. Once it is found that the principal amount acted directly as a penalty.”
With a "sincere" look on his face, Pet said enthusiastically, "Hey! That's different, Mr. Ruishi."
"How could you do it in my name?"
"This is the money I took the initiative to borrow from you. I invested it myself, but I am willing to give you 50% of it as a thank you after receiving the return!"
"This is my unilateral sincere gratitude. Is it against the rules? It's not against the rules!"
Cunning Shadow Ruishi's face turned dark.
He couldn't dodge this boomerang.
What Pete said is indeed correct.
If he, Cunning Shadow Ruishi, had taken the initiative to find someone else and asked someone else to invest on his behalf, it would be considered a violation if he was found out. But now that it was Pete who took the initiative to find him, it would only be considered a loan, not a holding!
Shivering, he took out the money bag from the lining pocket of his dress. Every time he counted out a gold coin, it was like a knife was stabbed in Cunning Shadow Ruishi's heart.
He has been a goblin broker for so long, and now his total savings is less than 100 gold coins.
This was great, more than half of it was gone in one go.
After counting the 50 gold coins, Cunning Shadow Ruishi's fragile little heart was already riddled with holes.
Pet took the gold coin with a smile: "Your Excellency Ruishi, please rest assured that when I receive the club's income in the future, I will definitely give you the dividends as soon as possible."
"My name is 'Tepei'! How about we find a deacon from the Just Church and sign a contract under his witness to ensure that I will not default on my debt."
Cunning Shadow Ruishi took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and shook his head hastily: "I have some things to do urgently now, such as contracts and so on. Since you can be invited to the manor, everyone is a respectable and decent person. I believe that No one would do anything like this.”
Peter wanted to give Gale some more time: "Mr. Ruishi, are you sure? You trust me so much that you don't even need to sign the contract?"
Cunning Shadow Ruishi was in pain. He was in a hurry to do something, but he encountered a piece of brown candy that he couldn't shake off.
"Who in Greenport doesn't know my name, Cunning Shadow, Rubble!"
"Don't worry, I never sign a contract when doing business with anyone, because the partners I choose are all reliable and honest people, and there is absolutely no way anyone will default on their debt!"
"Sir, please hurry up and sign up to join the Gilded Club. Don't forget that there is a quota limit. If you go late, it may be full!"
Only then did Peter let him go, and waved the money bag in his hand with a smile, and the gold coins jingled inside.
"Okay! Thank you Mr. Ruishi for your help, I will definitely make this money work!"
…
After finally getting rid of "Tepei", Cunning Shadow Ruishi hurriedly entered the wine cellar, pushed open the dark wall at a familiar location, passed through the secret passage, removed all kinds of debris blocking his head, and returned to the ground.
After leaving the nameless hut, Cunning Shadow Rubble hurried all the way towards the Holy Army's station.
He didn't realize that in the shadow blocked by the hut, a stalker was quietly following behind.
Arriving at the Crusader's station, Ruishi recognized one of the gatekeepers as Bishop Skate's attendant, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Hey! Hey! The bishop has entrusted me with something to convey to you!"
While shouting, Ruishi took out a triangular stone slab that exuded blue-purple fluorescence from his arms.
There are complex lines carved on the stone slab. If you get closer, you can feel the arcane energy active around it.
"This thing can prove it!"
Seeing this, the guard guarding the door came over, bent down and put his ear to the gravel.
Cunning Shadow Ruishi quietly spoke in a low voice:
"The bishop ordered us to bring out the guys who were locked up in the solitary room today."
"Remember, change their clothes before taking them out, and put on hoods, shackles, chains, and other things so that others can't recognize their original appearance at all."
"They are dangerous people contaminated by the evil god. They were temporarily detained here under the orders of Bishop Skate. They have nothing to do with the solitary room. Do you understand?"
After listening to Ruishi's words, the attendant nodded seriously, took the triangular demon-baiting rune stone, straightened up and walked towards the Holy Army's station.
…
In the confinement room.
Miranda Warren was praying silently to the God of Radiance with her eyes closed.
"Great Lord, thank you for your gift. Your selfless radiance illuminates the dark world. From then on, we wait..."
Although it was completely dark, there were no candles or oil lamps in the solitary room to provide illumination, so the words on the scriptures could not be read clearly.
But Miranda had memorized the contents of the Radiant Doctrine in its entirety and no longer needed the assistance of the canon.
"Click."
The rune stone of the seducing demon was embedded in the door of the confinement room, making a crisp sound, interrupting Miranda's daily prayer.
Miranda was surprised.
When Bishop Skate forced her in, the other party clearly said that she had made a mistake and had to let her reflect in it for half a month.
It was less than a day, to be precise, from noon to evening, how come someone came to open the door.
The door of the confinement room was opened from the outside, and the room was suddenly illuminated by light, which made Miranda close her eyes subconsciously.
When she adapted to the light and opened her eyes to look at the people who came, her face suddenly changed.
There were a total of 3 people, and Miranda knew them all. They were the personal attendants responsible for protecting the safety of Bishop Skate. It was this person who escorted her into the confinement room.
What made Miranda uneasy was that they were holding various prison instruments in their hands!
"What are you going to do?" Miranda asked in a trembling voice.
The three servants did not answer Miranda's question, but walked up to her quickly, took out a loose burlap robe, and put it directly on Miranda!
Miranda tried to resist, but she could not use any glow magic in the confinement room. It was three against one, and the opponents were all strong male servants.
Struggling was useless. After forcing her to put on the robe, the blindfold, gag, hood, collar, handcuffs, and shackles were forcibly installed on her body!
