Plop!
In the dark alley, Raymond fell to the ground and looked at the three Ma Wei who were walking away with extremely frightened eyes.
He doesn't believe in religion. How many of the gangsters hanging out on the street believe in religion?
They trust their fists and the few coins in their pockets more.
For this reason, he even mocked his father who joined the Church of Truth.
but....
Raymond looked at the cracked wall again, and for the first time, he doubted his previous thoughts.
This is definitely not something that humans can do.
A few gold coins fell into the wet mud in front of him. Raymond picked them up tremblingly. His hands were heavy and full of the texture of gold, but he was not happy at all.
Ma Wei... No, priest, the priest obviously saw his thoughts, but he still gave him a few gold coins. Is this charity or does it have a deeper meaning?
After thinking about it, Raymond suddenly understood.
The wall full of cracks is like the relationship between him and his father, and the few gold coins in his hand are the last chance to repair it.
There were only two paths before him now.
If he chooses to live a life of debauchery and ignore the wall that is about to collapse, then when Mr. Ronan finds out, he will definitely be disappointed, even desperate...
on the contrary...
He could use this opportunity to return home to his elderly father.
Raymond clenched his fists and fell into painful struggle.
"Aren't you afraid that he will tell this matter?"
On the cold windy street, Levin tightened his cashmere coat and asked, "What if he takes the gold coins and goes away happily, regardless of Mr. Ronan's life or death, what should we do?"
"You just changed the appearance of the wall, but the inside is still the same. Mr. Ronan's life will not be in danger."
"But Raymond doesn't know!"
"He won't tell it." Ma Wei said: "As a liar, he knows very well that his behavior is not honorable. Although this may not seem important to a street gangster, people are creatures that need social recognition. , to put it bluntly, just to save face.”
"Raymon may spend money lavishly, but he will never advertise that the money was fraudulent, just like a thief will not tell you that he is a thief."
"In addition, Raymond doesn't have many choices. There are only two ways. Either take the gold coins, ignore the damaged wall and continue to live happily, or truly repent, spend a lot of money to repair the wall, and become a church member from then on, no matter which way he chooses. No road will pose a threat to us."
"That's good, but I still feel that the maintenance money you gave him is too much."
Smiling, Ma Wei said noncommittally: "In Raymond's eyes, we broke the wall, and the Church of Truth has already shown him its strength. Under this situation, as long as he chooses to repair the wall, his first choice must be the Church of Truth. , not only is the money ours, but the church can also gain one more loyal believer, so why not?"
"Smart!"
Levin suddenly understood and sighed: "I finally understand why I was fascinated by Xiaomei on Friday. They say pets follow their owners. With an owner like you, those cats must be a group of demon cats..."
"Don't be ridiculous, Friday is purely lustful and has nothing to do with me."
After leaving Mr. Ronan's furniture store, the three of them went to the home of Mrs. Clark, the clerk. The method of dealing with Raymond was repeated again. Lies...
has also become a reality.
"Goddess Yunia hopes that believers will be honest and keep their promises, so please remember to be careful in your words and deeds, because the goddess is watching you...Truth is supreme."
Putting their palms on their chests and bowing slightly, the three of Ma Wei left Mrs. Clark's house. Their goal had been achieved. If nothing else happens, the number of people who lied about the situation will become fewer and fewer, and those who have already lied about the situation will become less and less. Believers will be more loyal to the church.
They will not say that they defrauded the repair money, but will only keep this secret silently.
"Where to go next?" Levine asked.
Mavey took out the whistle from his waist, put it to his lips and blew it gently, hailing a Clarence carriage. When he got on the carriage, he said to the coachman in front of him who was controlling the reins: "Go to No. 75 Ross Avenue."
Although the place is not big, there are many newspapers in New Ross City, the most famous of which is naturally the official Ross Daily, which is the newspaper that Ma Wei reads every day.
The news in Ross Daily is strictly screened. News with exaggerated titles and fictitious content cannot be published in newspapers at all.
But then again, Ross Daily can be compared to a plate of light food. It is mild and not irritating. It can be eaten by men, women, old and young without any problems. However, there are always some people who are tired of eating light food and want something different. It's exciting and interesting, even if the fictional and exaggerated parts are far beyond reality.
"Single Nobles News" specializes in introducing dating goals, "Fashion and Life News" introduces clothing, hairstyle styles and life tips, "Female Beauty" specializes in serving female users, and "*****" which has always dominated the sales list 》....
Wait until newspapers and periodicals spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and a hundred flowers bloom.
The large number of newspapers is inseparable from the continuous upgrading of papermaking technology. In the past, the cost of making a piece of paper was very high, and it was impossible to publish it in large quantities. Even if it was published, the price was not affordable by ordinary people. But now it is different. Large printing plants can print tens of thousands of newspapers per hour and supply them to the whole country via railways. The only shortcoming is...
It's just that the speed is a bit slow. Except for a few cities around the royal capital, the news seen in remote areas like New Ross City is basically a day or two ago, and the information is lagging.
Clarence's four-wheeled carriage slowly stopped in front of No. 75 Ross Avenue. This is the middle section of Ross Avenue, which belongs to the offices of various companies and the business center area.
"Boss, why did you choose a small newspaper like Rose Daily!"
Looking at the not-so-tall three-story building in front of him, Levin said doubtfully: "The Ross Daily News is only published around New Ross City. The scope is too small and cannot be promoted at all. It is better to choose something like the Times Evening News or ***** Although the price of a large newspaper is a little more expensive, more people may see it!”
"The size of Ross Daily is just right for the Church of Truth, neither too big nor too small."
Ma Wei took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said calmly: "Our manpower is limited and we have tried our best to serve the surrounding cities. How can we go to the royal capital hundreds or thousands of miles away?"
"You can have a long-term vision, but you can't take too big a step, it's easy to pull your crotch... You can take Nia to the cafe next door for snacks, and I'll go up together."
"Don't you need my help?"
"No, I'll be down soon."
"good."
