The nobles of Jordan began to plan something.
It wasn't resistance, let alone an attack on Zhou Li. In fact, long after their eyeliner was completely pulled out by the mysterious woman, and all their vision and hearing were deprived, this group of people honestly chose to lie down. They knew that before the big seal was lifted, they and others would not be able to fight against Zhou Li no matter what.
It’s not that our army is incompetent, but the brave ones have Gundam.
According to the Night Walker who had lost most of his vision, there was a professional who was no less than a demigod next to Zhou Li, and he was very sensitive to shadows. Night Walker was vulnerable to her.
After receiving the news, all the nobles fell silent. The nightwalker profession looks very beautiful. It hides one's figure, restrains one's aura, and can greatly increase one's strength in the dark, making one completely invisible in the darkness. It is a perfect template for an assassin.
However, such a profession is nothing in front of the Shadow Assassin.
"Stop barking."
Faced with the chattering Marquis, who had been complaining that he had sent out so few night crawlers, Ista, who was elected as the "President of the Noble Federation Against Harmful Policies", directly threw the cup in his hand and hit it hard. Under people's feet.
Looking at the silent crowd, Istar snorted coldly and said angrily: "If you get tired of living, just contact the Shadow Guild yourself. The last person who wanted to contact them to assassinate Zhou Li is already drying up on the Jordan Tower. , if you don’t want to live, don’t take me with you.”
"what is it now?"
A paunchy aristocrat tapped the sensor with a sad face, and a voice came from the video: "My original business has been messed up. The estimated business of three to four thousand has now been messed up by him. I see him Not ready to give up yet.”
"Stop barking."
Looking at the nobleman who spoke, a look of disgust appeared on Ista's face, "Raising disaster areas and selling children, you do such dirty work and you dare to complain here. Let me tell you, even if Zhou Li doesn't deal with you, when the big There will definitely be a place for you in the court after the knot is lifted."
"Hey, our old man can definitely understand me. After all, we need to eat."
As the son of the highest official of the Yingnan Grand Court, this nobleman brazenly let out a hey, not shying away from Istar's threat.
"We have to find a way. It's not a problem to sit still and wait for death."
The white-haired old man sighed and said helplessly: "Our frivolous behavior is like a child's play in front of others. Now everyone's business has stopped improving and it is almost impossible to continue."
"Isn't it easy? Then don't do it."
Ista smiled coldly. He looked at the astonished people and said, "Let me give you a suggestion."
"Starting now, shut down all your black industries if possible. All the superficial work that needs to be done has been done. You cannot die without this business, and Zhou Li will be able to survive without you."
Faced with Ishtar's rebellious remarks, the hot-tempered red-haired man suddenly became angry and cursed: "Ishtar, have you been ordered to peace by him? Do you want to be the slave of the brave and kneel down and lick him?" "
"You look very handsome scolding me here, and you looked even more handsome yesterday when you knelt down and licked the garrison guards in the hope that they would let me go."
After retorting, as the only Duke of Jordan, Ishtar didn't care about the red-haired man's red face and angry expression, and continued: "I'm not advising you to surrender to Zhou Li, nor am I asking you to From now on, you will live a simple life for the rest of your life. After you give up those businesses for the time being, you can scold him as much as you want, rebel against him when you should, no one will care about you. "
"I understand what Duke Ishtar means."
The white-haired old man knocked on the communicator and said to everyone: "Take a break for the time being and give up those businesses so that Zhou Li can't catch us. After the knot is gone, we can use Yingnan's strength to fight against Zhou Li .”
As soon as they heard the old man's words, everyone understood. Everyone present was not stupid. After hearing what the old man said, they understood what he meant.
"this…"
Cyanosis
Some people still hesitate, after all, they are giving up a large amount of profits. Ista coughed twice when he saw this, swept his cold eyes over these people, and said slowly:
"Thanks to everyone's love, I am now the temporary president. Since I am the president, I can't just bear responsibilities without any rights, right? This is also against the rules."
"Within three days from now, if I find out that there is someone who has not cleaned up his mess, dragging down everyone present..."
Stretching out his hand, he slowly traced it across his neck. As one of the generals who had experienced weird disasters, Ishtar left four words in a cold voice.
"I'll take care of it."
***************
However, what Ista couldn't imagine was that he overestimated Zhou Li's lower limit.
According to his thinking, he and others chose to show weakness. After being involved in underground transactions during the plague, Zhou Li would not target these nobles again if he could not grasp the leverage he and others had.
However, he was wrong.
When most of the nobles began to abandon their black industries and began to engage in superficial "charity", they received a message from Zhou Li.
"To celebrate the big bosses' change of heart and new life. The Jordanian government is about to launch the (Stand With Me, Nobles Go to the Countryside) themed event and invites all bosses to gather at the Government Building at nine o'clock tomorrow. There will be various charity activities. Hope you all can attend.”
"Note: This event is completely voluntary,"
"Note: If you have any questions or confusion about the event, the brave man will personally go to your residence to explain it in person to answer your doubts."
The paper in my hand is not paper, it is burning fire. Ista picked up the trembling cigarette with trembling hands, lit it slowly, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"What on earth is he going to do?"
Ista couldn't imagine that Zhou Li had such courage, or in other words, he had never imagined that a person could be so shameless.
What's this?
This is a naked threat.
They also explain and answer questions. You can just tattoo "I'll kill you if you don't come" on your forehead. Why bother covering it up?
"What should we do? This is riding on our heads."
Faced with the anxiety of others, Ista herself was speechless now.
"I have no idea."
Rubbing his eyebrows, Ista said with a headache: "I don't know either, I really don't know."
This time, Ishtar was also helpless. He thought about what Zhou Li would do, but he didn't expect that Zhou Li would openly call everyone under the banner of "charity". The problem now is that if he and others do not participate in the event, the actions he took before will not be on the table, and Zhou Li will have enough gaps to take advantage of.
As for finding excuses not to go, Ista believed that the "hospitable" Zhou Li would definitely help those nobles in difficulty and allow them to successfully participate in this "countryside activity."
"Go ahead."
In desperation, Ista gave the answer: "At most, we will lose a little money. We have nothing to be afraid of."
