Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

The person who spoke was a viscount of Fontaine. However, according to common sense, his status as a viscount prevented him from speaking in front of so many nobles.

The other nobles merely used the viscount as a tool to test the attitudes of Villette and Finina.

No matter what his final fate was, they didn't care. If he had a good ending, it meant that Violet and Funina wouldn't care about their affairs, and they just needed to hand over the money.

If the outcome is bad, they will find a way to come to India. Even if the final outcome is still miserable, at least they can preserve their family bloodline and their own identity.

Villette looked at the tool man who was pushed out with a somewhat cold gaze, his eyes full of disgust, as if he was being used as a gun.

The Viscount didn't notice at all that the atmosphere on his side seemed to be a little off and continued talking nonsense.

"Why, are you looking at me? Am I wrong?"

"Lady Finina, you were sitting comfortably on the throne of the Water God. Why did you suddenly remove the Water God's throne? And why did you choose to be the one?"

"You are just a pet of Lady Finina. A pet should have the consciousness of a pet."

When the Viscount said this, everyone present looked at him with their mouths wide open in surprise. Even Funina was the same. How come she didn't know that Villette ate her pet?

Finina secretly glanced at Villette's face. It couldn't be any darker.

In Furninna's heart, this Viscount had already been labeled as finished, and it was a very complete failure, no matter who came, he could not be saved.

Water elements surged all over Villette's body. Seeing this, the Viscount opened his mouth in horror and turned to the nobles behind him for help.

However, the nobles behind him had already hidden far away and didn't care about his life or death at all. It was only at this time that the Viscount realized that he was being used as a tool.

"You! You guys! No, this is not what we agreed on. You guys betrayed me!"

However, the nobles ignored his words. After all, who would believe the words of a dead person? Seeing this, they turned around and knelt down to Villette, wanting to beg for Villette's forgiveness.

However, before he could say anything more, the water element wrapped around his neck, and the water ball formed by the water element enveloped his head, suffocating him to death in the most cruel way.

The last look of terror before his death terrified all the nobles present. They were afraid that they would suffer the same fate as the viscount in the next second.

Villette had the body dragged away, and then he sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened. Next to his seat was an exquisite throne, which was Furninna's favorite chair.

Finina sat down next to Villette, who tapped the ground with his cane to draw everyone's attention back.

"Why did you come here? I believe you know better than me. If you don't want to end up like the guy just now, then explain clearly what you did. Otherwise, I don't recommend that you experience the pain he suffered before his death."

The nobles were horrified by Villette's words. They didn't understand why Villette, who was so kind in the past, suddenly became like this? Could it be that the throne of the water god had the effect of changing people's temperament?

Seeing that they were not going to say anything and were just standing there in fear, Villette knocked on the ground and said.

"Although I have achieved the status of the God of Water, I am different from those demon gods. I do not love people. Do not try to threaten me with the love of the demon gods."

"I can't tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in my eyes. Since you guys don't want to speak, I'll be the one to speak."

"Everyone, can anyone answer me? Why didn't even one tenth of the relief funds allocated by Fontaine reach the victims?"

"The prophecy has already overwhelmed Fontaine, but at this critical moment, you are still only concerned about your own interests. Normally, I would turn a blind eye to it, but you should never set your sights on the disaster relief funds!"

Villette almost roared, totally contrary to his usual humble demeanor.

The nobles had never seen Navelette like this before, and they all fell to their knees.

"It's unfair... unfair, Lord Villette. This is not our true intention. We have been deceived by others."

"It's the Minister of Finance! Aikin! Yes, it's him! He was the one who first touched the money. We wanted to report him at first, but he said that it wouldn't be discovered if there was so much money a little more or a little less, so we embarked on this path of no return."

"Then Lord Villette, we are really wronged! This was all Ae Kyung's idea, we were just coerced by him!"

Villette couldn't help but laugh. According to the investigation of Zhuyingting, compared with the people in front of him, Aikin was considered to be conscientious.

Eight tenths of the disaster relief funds were consumed by this group of nobles. Villette took a deep breath.

"I don't want to discuss your past anymore. Make up for the embezzled money and take out 50% of your assets to replenish the national treasury to deal with the next disaster."

"You will be punished for the last time and do your best to prevent the disaster that will happen in Fontaine. If you behave well, I may be able to spare your life."

These nobles were all surprised when they heard that they only needed to return their property, but then Villette required them to hand over 50% of their personal assets.

But they just made a bitter face. The appearance of these nobles was seen by Villette and Fininna, and even Fininna showed a look of disgust.

Without saying anything more, Villette asked Clorinde to take them away and keep them under strict supervision.

It turned out that Villette's strict supervision was indeed useful, because some nobles began to pack up their assets after returning home and wanted to flee to other countries to avoid the sanctions of Fontaine's laws.

They exhausted the last bit of Narwright's patience, and soon after, a figure walked into Narwright's office.

The person who came was none other than Alechino. Let your comment look at Navelette with some surprise, and seeing Navelette's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but speak

"This is really strange. The newly appointed Water God is willing to cooperate with us Fatui. Have those pigs finally angered you?"

That Villette raised her eyes, and a hint of hostility appeared in her turquoise pupils.

"Executive Officer, you talk too much."

Alechino did not bother the angry water god anymore, but just nodded and took over the task from him.

"There are so many names on the list. It seems that you are completely intolerant of them. Don't worry, we are professionals in assassination."

"According to the deal between us, after the assassination is completed, we can take 10% of his assets as compensation."

"But since this is a personal commission from the Water God, I have one request, which is that the sharing party must not issue any wanted warrants for our Hearth House or even the Fatui after this incident."

That Villette simply shook his head and rejected the proposal, looking at Alechino and said.

"There needs to be an explanation for this matter, but as compensation, I will allow you to raise the 10% to 15%."

Alechino nodded. They had done a lot of things like taking the blame, but it was not common to get an extra 15% in compensation.

You have to know that these nobles are all very rich. Although the profit is only 15%, it accumulates to a considerable amount.

"It seems that this winter, the children in this family can buy some new clothes. Thank you for the gift of the Lord of Water. Goodbye, Funina. I will bring you some delicious cakes when I come to pick you up next time."

After waving to Alechino, Fernina seemed absent-minded.

Alechino also understood. After all, Finina was the simplest among all the sisters, and it was better not to let her come into contact with the dark side too early.

After Arlecino left, many nobles of Fontaine died mysteriously in their homes that night.

The time periods are also different. Some die very peacefully, while others die in a very twisted way.

Naturally, this matter could not be concealed, and the Momang Palace held a press conference the next day.

That Villette stood up under the expectant gaze of many reporters and gave everyone a reasonable explanation for the matter.

"Regarding the brutal assassination of the Fontaine nobles that occurred last night, after an overnight investigation by Momang Palace, the suspect has been identified."

"The suspect is the fifth executive officer of the Winter Fatui, Alechino. Last night, his Fatui broke into the noble's house, killed him, and took away all his belongings."

"It was obviously a premeditated robbery, and it was highly targeted, targeting only the nobles of Fontaine."

"This happened. The Momang Palace is to blame and has made a serious mistake. On behalf of the Momang Palace, I would like to apologize to the people of Fontaine."

After saying this, the visitor turned around and left without giving the reporters a chance to ask questions.

But when no one was paying attention, someone sneaked into the palace, and this little action naturally could not be hidden from Villette.

It was obvious that it was Villette who deliberately put Charlotte into the Momang Palace, and he also knew about Charlotte's character of pursuing the truth.

Rather than facing endless investigations in the future, it would be better to just open the skylight and tell her everything she wants to know.

And without the help of Charlotte, a top reporter, it would be difficult to proceed with the next things. Soon, Charlotte blocked Navillatte in his office.

"Lord Water God, I am reporter Charlotte, and I have a few questions for you."

Navilet nodded, then pointed to his office and said to Charlotte.

"Miss Charlotte, I know you're a person who will never give up until you achieve your goal. Let's go. This is not a good place to chat. Come to my office. I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Charlotte nodded and followed Navilai into his office.

After Violet had Melrose serve tea, she sat face to face with Charlotte.

"Well, Miss Charlotte, what do you want to ask? I will answer you whatever it is here."

Charlotte nodded and then asked her first question.

"Lord Water God, my first question is, are those nobles really committing burglary?"

That Villette was silent, but he did not panic. Instead, he calmly drank the tea in the cup.

"According to my investigation of the Fatui over the years, they are not an organization that is short of money. Taking on assassination deals is just an additional source of income for them. They do not make a living from it."

"And I also discovered that none of the dead nobles were innocent. According to my investigation, these dead nobles were basically involved in a financial case within Fontaine."

Navillatte continued to drink tea with a calm expression. Charlotte could not judge what Navillatte was thinking from his micro-expressions, so Charlotte could only continue her guess.

"If my guess is correct, this is indeed a deliberate murder. But the mastermind is not the Fatui, nor the Executor Arlecino, but..."

Having said that, Charlotte looked at Navillatte, who nodded.

"You are very clever, Miss Charlotte. Yes, they did break the laws of Fontaine and were punished by me."

"You must be curious about why I use such extreme methods, right?"

Charlotte nodded, because the judge who attached great importance to the law, the current Lord of Water, would actually violate the laws of Fontaine for the sake of a few nobles.

"That's because the laws of Fontaine cannot convict them of their crimes, so I can only use some extra-legal means."

"You can write about our conversation now and publish it in the newspaper, but before that please allow me to say something."

“When a country produces termites that are enough to harm the foundation of the country, the owner of the country uses pest control to eliminate them.”

"It's just that the means of pest control are a bit extreme, but it can bring a better future to the reputation of this country. So do you think what this owner did was right or wrong? Will what he did be infamous or praised for all eternity?"

Charlotte lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Villette.

"The master of this country doesn't care about his reputation, right? So whatever he does is good for the country."

"I understand. Then, Lord Villette, this interview will be considered non-existent. I cannot go against my principles and write false truths in the newspaper."

“But if I didn’t have the interview, then my ignorance of the incident proves that my principles were not broken.”

"But only this once, Lord Villette. After all, I am a journalist, and the most famous journalist in Fontaine."

After saying this, Charlotte smiled sweetly at Villette and left the Momang Palace. Seeing this, Villette smiled with relief.
