Chapter 6 The World in Nightmare
Therefore, after Joshua easily killed his cheap uncle and officially inherited the title of Earl, the shop owners who had defected to Denlia were afraid of revenge and immediately sold the shop to the Radcliffe competitor, and the other party naturally took over without hesitation.
In addition, Joshua went to Moldova to assist the Scarant family shortly after inheriting the title, but did not discover this situation in time. There are only two of the five stores in the imperial capital of Radcliffe. Fortunately, it is not a good thing that other places have such large-scale resale incidents. Overall, the loss is not large, but it is a major blow to reputation.
"It's not a big deal to seek refuge in Denlia. In the final analysis, I'm not a devil. If I'm willing to continue working hard, I'll replace a shop owner with rich experience and rich connections in the local area for such things."
Shaking his head and looking at the letter, Joshua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "As for now... this is betrayal."
And the betrayer will never have a good end.
The warrior stood up from the chair, and he picked up his pen and wrote a few words on a note: "It's time to find a time to go to the imperial capital to see... By the way, let me see which families dare to go against me."
He wrote the names of several families who dared to blatantly acquire their own family property in his mind and wrote them in his notebook. Joshua looked at the last paragraph of Alfonso's letter again.
[... Therefore, Lord Earl grants me the corresponding rights to preside over your property in the imperial capital, be confident in stabilizing the situation, and even regaining two stores that have been transferred.
In order to gain your trust, I would like to take the glory of the surname Carlos as evidence and lead the entire family to swear allegiance to you and to the Radcliffe family.
Your faithful, Alfonso Carlos.]
"This guy really can seize the opportunity. You know, the owner who can manage a store in a place like the Imperial Capital basically needs to be trained from an early age, or even just a close relative with blood... An outsider and the president of a local caravan plan to win an industry in a place like the Imperial Capital with a few words."
The image of the middle-aged man with a scar on his throat appeared in his mind, and a smile appeared on Joshua's face: "Although I see that I really need someone who knows business to stabilize the situation at this time, I also deliberately use the swearing of allegiance as a guarantee, but I like this kind of straightforwardness."
The warrior does not hate this simple and direct approach. It is natural for human beings to climb up. Only when a person has to have it in his heart will he work hard. Since Alfonso is optimistic about himself and is willing to get on his own ship, why not give him a chance? He is willing to buy strange things for himself, and naturally he will do his best to work for the warriors.
"call……"
Suddenly, a gentle breathing sound came from one side of the study.
The warrior turned his head and looked back. Sure enough, the silver-haired girl lay on her side on the sofa by the wall and fell asleep again.
As she walked slowly approaching, Joshua looked down and Ying lay on the side of the animal skin sofa. Her eyes were closed and her long eyelashes trembled with her breathing. Miss Shenji breathed smoothly, and her expression on her face was also very soothing, and she looked very comfortable sleeping.
“…If you want to rest, you should go to the room.”
Shaking his head and sighed, Joshua didn't know what to do, he smiled bitterly: "There is no need to fight now, why do you keep following me? How good is it to have a good sleep."
Without intending to disturb the rest of his weapons, Joshua put away the letter in his hand. He sat back on the seat in front of his desk and continued to process the remaining letters.
But the firefly, who was sleeping, frowned slightly.
She is dreaming.
——An extremely strange nightmare.
The dark and light-hearted sky, the sun disappeared without a trace, and the dim earth spread towards the end of the world due to the obscurity of clouds. The almost extinguished red dim light formed a small dot above it, flashing at the edge of the sky.
When fireflies open their eyes in their dreams, they see this scene.
Below me was a dead earth, and the black soil exuded a rotten smell, without any vitality.
Above the sky, the twisted and weird cloud curtains obscured the sky. It slowly changed its shape, making the patterns it turned into more and more strange, emitting some kind of evil power.
The silver-haired girl in the dream looked at everything around her blankly.
In this dream, the firefly's perspective was in the air, and she could clearly see the whole picture around her - from the end of the sky to the other end of the earth, whether it was mountains, hills, trees, rivers or city ruins, they were all shrouded in thick gray mist. This thick mist that was so thick that it was impossible to breathe was mixed with black sand and dust, gradually wrapping everything on the earth with a turbid crystal shell like a stone, and viscous rainfall dropped from the twisted clouds, spreading the power of chaos to the whole world.
The power of chaos envelops the entire world, making everything tend toward absolute chaos.
The water no longer flows, the wind no longer blows, the trees no longer grow, the sun and the moon no longer rise and fall...
——Naturally, fire does not burn.
The fire in this world has been extinguished...
