Chapter 318: Little Bully Catherine

Burtner Manor.

Ethan's study.

Ethan was drinking coffee and chatting leisurely with Doguli of the Borgia family.

We talked from the weather to spring sowing, from spring sowing to territory management experience, and then from management experience to harvest.

In the end, we came to the conclusion that land income depends entirely on the weather.

We chatted until we had nothing to talk about, and ended up talking about the weather again...

Although both of them felt embarrassed, Ethan was determined not to ask why he was here.

In this world, whoever starts first will suffer.

When Doguli saw that Ethan was not even willing to ask why he was here, he could only explain his purpose.

"Sir Ethan, to be honest with you, this visit is not to reminisce about old times, but to ask for something."

"Oh!" Ethan nodded when he saw that the old fox finally spoke: "I wonder if I can help?"

"The thing is, I heard Camilla say that when you killed [Twisted Hand], you got a whip from him. Is it still in your hand?"

After being reminded by Doguli, Ethan remembered that he still had a whip.

At that time, I felt that the whip was not simple, so I brought it back with me. I originally wanted to find someone to ask what was so special about this whip.

But as soon as I came back, I had so many things to do that I couldn't take care of it.

So the whip was always left in the drawer of the study. As time passed, he even forgot about it.

Doguli is here today, so I just want him to help me take a look.

So, Ethan said wait a moment, got up and went to the desk, but when he opened the drawer and looked at it, he was dumbfounded.

"Lili, where is the black whip I put in the drawer?"

Lili heard the call and opened the door and came in: "Miss Linda took it to play with."

Linda is Catherine's pseudonym.

When Ethan heard that she was playing with it, he immediately felt a headache.

This Catherine often takes things by herself and throws them around, often unable to find them back.

You may call her stupid, but she is quite smart.

Recently she has learned to buy things by herself and often asks Angelina for money.

Angelina felt sorry for her and gave her every time. She also arranged for guards to accompany her to buy things on the street.

Now all the vendors selling snacks in Maluo City know this little girl with oil paint on her face.

When everyone saw her, it was as if they had seen a ghost, and they were scared to death of her.

Because if you want to do her business, you must give her more. If you dare to cheat her for a coin, she will immediately ask the guards to beat him, and he will really beat him.

What's even worse is that when the security patrol team, which has always been fair and impartial, saw her beating the vendor, they all pretended not to see her and turned around and left.

Seeing this, the vendors called her a bully behind her back.

Because of her existence, now everyone in Maruo City sells snacks.

No, to be precise, all those selling food must prepare two scales.

One is for her and the other is for everyone else.

And her portrait must be posted in every store like a wanted criminal.

Every shopkeeper tells the clerk that if this product comes, the price will not be increased if the quantity is increased!

"Go to Catherine and bring back the whip." Ethan ordered.

Lili said yes and went out to find Catherine.

When Doguli heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing Doguli's expression, Ethan knew that he had revealed his family's shame, so he smiled sarcastically: "Children are not sensible and like to take things randomly.

By the way, Your Excellency Doguli, I was just about to ask you about the origin of that whip. "

Doguli smiled slightly: "That is the famous weapon of [Twisted Hand], and it is also his symbol. His name is because he is good at using whips.

This is why I came to see you today.

Mr. Ethan, you also know that we pretended to be you and collected the bounty on your behalf, and spread the word that we killed the [Twisted Hand].

We have gained a lot of reputation for this, but recently some people have begun to question us because we cannot provide this whip.

This has greatly affected our family's reputation.

To silence those people, I wish you would sell us that whip. "

When Ethan heard this, he immediately laughed.

No wonder he keeps talking about things instead of talking about serious things. It turns out that he is afraid of losing face and can’t clear his face!

A broken whip is useless. Since you want it, I'll sell it to you.

Your Borgia reputation is worth twenty thousand gold!

After thinking about it, Ethan said: "No problem."

Just when she was about to make a bid, Lili opened the door and came in: "Mr. Ethan, I can't get the whip back."

When Ethan heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? What kind of monster is she doing again?"

"Go and see for yourself! Anyway, Miss Linda said that no one can touch her whip."

Ethan was worried that Catherine had broken the whip, which cost tens of thousands of gold, so he quickly asked Lili to lead the way.

Doguli saw it and followed him.

Several people reached the top of the building together, and then saw Catherine sitting on a hanging chair and swinging.

And the rope used for the hanging chair was the whip.

When Ethan saw it, his soul almost came out, fearing that Catherine would break the whip and not be able to sell it at a high price.

However, after taking a closer look, I found that the whip had not been cut by Catherine, and I felt relieved.

When Doguli saw this scene, the corners of his mouth were shaking as if they were equipped with electric motors, almost knocking out his teeth.

"Linda, take off the whip and I'll change a rope for you." Ethan stepped forward and said to Catherine in a friendly voice.

"No!" Catherine replied with a straight face, "I asked you to help me build a swing before, and you promised many times, but you never helped me.

Now I finally made one myself, don't even think about taking it down."

As she said that, Catherine tightly grasped the whip, her eyes showing aggrieved look.

Ethan then realized that he had neglected Catherine a little because of too many things recently.

She seemed to have told him many times that she wanted to install a swing on the roof.

He did agree, but because Catherine always picked the time when he was busiest to talk about it, he always agreed casually and didn't give instructions immediately, so he forgot about it after a while.

Seeing the other party's aggrieved look, Ethan smiled unhappily.

Then he walked to Catherine, squatted down, and said gently: "I was wrong about this matter. I don't want to make excuses. I apologize to you.

I promise that I will give orders as soon as possible for what I promised you in the future, and I will never let you suffer any grievances again.

Do you think you can forgive me now?"

After hearing this, Catherine wanted to pretend to be angry again, but the corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than AK.

In the end, she simply stopped pretending, burst into tears and laughed, and stood up from the swing.

"Hmph! I will trust you for the last time. You can take the whip! But let someone replace it with a new one immediately."

"Okay! Lili, go and arrange a carpenter to replace this frame as well, and make a better and sturdier swing." Ethan ordered while dismantling the whip.

Lili replied yes and immediately arranged for someone.

As Ethan was untying it, he found something wrong.

"Damn, why did you tie a knot!"

"Otherwise it won't be strong!"

"Hey! Why does this piece of wood look so familiar?"

"I found it in your study. I thought it was useless to hang it on the wall, so I brought it here."

"Ah... I remember, isn't this the wood board that my title order is mounted on? Damn..."

"Why are you making a fuss? It's just a piece of torn paper."

"Torn paper? You know... Hey... Forget it, where is that torn paper? Why is it gone?"

"I lost it."

"Lost? Where did you lose it?"

"I don't remember."

...

Doguli, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the big and the small, and the expression on his face kept changing like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

This great swordsman is much more rough than expected.

He didn't even know that such an important thing as the title order was lost. How big must his heart be!

However, the dumber he is, the better.

And it seems that he doesn't know the value of this whip, which can save at least hundreds of thousands of gold.

Doguli thought happily, pretending to be careless from time to time, glancing at the whip, drooling.

But he didn't notice that Catherine was frowning and staring at him angrily...
