Lord of Eternal Darkness

Several people in the reception room looked at each other.

Tommy said with concern: "A few of you are unfamiliar, are they from out of town? I don't know the dangers of the Innocence City at the moment. It's easy for someone to stare at such a precious space treasure with you. Look around you. , some of these people eating are underlings of gangs."

Li Xiaoming said with an unhappy expression: "Are you threatening me?"

Tommy quickly explained: "The customers misunderstood, how dare we? As the saying goes, customers are gods, but that's not necessarily the case for those people. They even cut themselves after taking drugs.

"Your valuables can be temporarily handed over to us for safekeeping and will be delivered to your home shortly. We guarantee that there will be no loss. We guarantee it with the reputation of Shen Jinshan, the 'rich man' in the Ten Elders Association."

Li Xiaoming just smiled and said nothing. Isn't this obviously bullying outsiders?

Process the meat into vegetables and sell it to those stupid and showy rich people, and you can get back your investment at least 10 times.

The discussion between the two parties was not pleasant. To be honest, Li Xiaoming wanted to just walk away. The price was too low, but well, there was no way to treat the opponent.

Due to its special geographical location, the City of Innocence does not have many species of flora and fauna, but it does have an unusually large number of oil and minerals.

However, the money gained from these industries has little bearing on ordinary people.

90% of the city's assets are ruled by a trader profession called the Shilaohui.

As the name suggests, there are 10 people in the Ten Laohui. Each one of them is a top genius in the business world. Any one of them can influence the economic destiny of a city-state.

These ten people formed an alliance with each other and suppressed each other, so that they would not completely monopolize various industries, but to outsiders, there was actually not much difference.

"Shen Jinshan, who is rich in money" is the owner of this hotel. Nearly 40% of the city's catering industry is owned by him, as well as various hotels, bars, and KTV large entertainment venues.

The strength of the Jinshan Consortium is also among the best among the Ten Elders. Regardless of whether it is black or white, they must give three points.

It is indeed reassuring to leave the necklace to the other party for custody, and you don't have to worry about the other party getting embezzled. After all, it is not short of money. You can buy as many space magic weapons as you want. It is not worth losing your reputation for such a small thing.

But it still makes people worry. Let’s not talk about whether the necklace will be tampered with. In terms of business, first they lower the price for you and then act as a benefactor to help you. Isn’t this funny?

All the benefits of co-authorship are made by others, and in the end you have to thank others.

Saint Assad still had a smile on her face and had no idea what was going on. She was really helping count the money after being sold by others.

"How are you thinking, sir?"

Tommy stared into the other person's eyes. If the other person was a smart person, he should understand the current situation.

Li Xiaoming said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the price is too low. I don't want to sell it, hehe."

"Oh, that's such a pity. To be honest, another big boss of the Ten Laohui, Jack Bayliss, is having his daughter's birthday and is lacking some novel ingredients to make the scene. If you If you are really short of money, you can add 50 shidin each."

This person is quite clever. He first moved his boss out, and then moved out the use of the ingredients, and wanted to give them to another boss as a birthday banquet dish. He made it clear that he would give you the opportunity to climb a high tree and see if you would agree.

But it’s their restaurant that cooks the food, who cares who provides the ingredients? If something goes wrong while eating, Li Xiaoming will definitely take the blame.

Li Xiaoming released some Meng Yuan and kept staring at him with cold eyes. For a moment, Tommy felt that his soul was falling into hell. His fingers couldn't help but tremble. In the other person's pupils, his figure was infinitely smaller, as small as an ant. .

He regretted that he shouldn't be so smart.

"It turns out he is an extraordinary person, but extraordinary people have to follow the rules no matter what profession they are in."

"The prisoner profession expressed its disapproval."

"Haha, sir, you are joking." Tommy covered up his panic just now.

As if by magic, a token suddenly appeared in Li Xiaoming's hand, then he slapped it on the table, and then quickly took it back, without Saint Assad seeing it clearly.

"What about this? Can you do me a favor? Let me earn a little more."

Anyone who can become a lobby manager is not an idiot. They still have some education and experience. They can tell what the token is at a glance.

"Supervisor..."

"Shh, keep quiet." Li Xiaoming put his index finger between his lips.

Cold sweat broke out on Tommy's forehead. He didn't expect that he would provoke such a "monster". Do big shots always like to visit privately incognito? This must be notified to the people of the Ten Elders Association. Is this considered a great achievement?

He is not worried that the other party is an imposter. It is obvious from the other party's temperament that although he is young, he is powerful, and whoever dares to impersonate an imperial government official will be severely punished if caught, which is worse than death. .

"Huh? What was written on that token just now?" Xiaode is a little confused. Is it okay?

Tommy is a little strange. Isn't the girlfriend next to you blindfolded? How can I see the token?

The blindfolded girl caught his attention as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. Respecting the guests was the most basic requirement. Now he added another one, be careful of "monsters".

"It's nothing, I just wrote that good people have a safe life, so is it okay to triple the price?"

Li Xiaoming said to Xiao De first, and then looked at Tommy.

Tommy was speechless. If you want money, just say it. You can do whatever you want in this city. No matter how much money you spend every day, it is only a drop in the bucket for the people of the Ten Laohui.

"Considering that this batch of meat is urgently needed there and the quality is so good, then triple the price. Happy cooperation. I hope you will become our dedicated supplier in the future."

Li Xiaoming made an OK gesture and said, "Okay, no problem."

Just like this, I had an extra 375 B-list in my hand for no apparent reason. I paid with my mobile phone, which was very efficient. The ice room was also filled with desert locusts.

In this city, as long as you don't gamble, don't attract fans, and don't engage in whoring, you can basically be considered well-off with this kind of money, but you can't enjoy happiness without spending money.

Tommy also took the initiative to help solve the necklace matter, saying that it was his due responsibility, and asked Xiao De to hide the necklace first, and told the guests outside that it had been kept in his hands.

And those people also believe in the strength of the people of the Ten Laohui. The other party must have a background when they say this. As long as they have a normal mind, they will naturally not ask for trouble.

When the two people left, Tommy felt even happier than seeing his own father off. Only then did he realize that he was sweating profusely.

Then he hurriedly shouted to the waiter next to him: "Hurry up and call Mr. Jin for me, that man is here."

It is not illegal for people who have this kind of token to kill people. Not only that, but you also have to stick your head out to kill the other person. The laws of any place are useless.

They can be said to be the eyes of the emperor, monitoring all turmoil in the world and specializing in exercising the emperor's rights.

These people are sometimes high-profile and sometimes secretive, incarnate as beggars, passers-by, reporters, someone's husband and wife, investigating hidden rebels in the city, and cleaning up corrupt government officials. They are the most mysterious people in the world.

Only the Imperial Guard Corridor can judge such people, and generally they won't care as long as they don't go too far. After all, their main duty is to eliminate those who rebel against the emperor.

"Wow, Uncle Li, you are so awesome. I have to admit that I underestimated you. God said that people in the world should be tolerant and kind, but after all, he is just a secular person. For money to constrain such a generous triple deal, absolutely has a problem."

Xiaode stared at Li Xiaoming and said word by word, she could not understand him more and more now.

Li Xiaoming said: "Maybe it's because of my conscience that I'll make less because I see you look pretty."

"Hey, you're glib." Xiaode's face turned red and he touched his hair.

Li Xiaoming said: "Let's leave the money with you first. I'm afraid I can't control myself and spend it on drinks. Well, after making so much money, it's time to treat me to a meal, right?"

St. Assad seemed to want to deliberately anger Li Xiaoming. He held up his hands and said, "Well, that's great. Thank you to the God of Holy Light for giving me a large amount of money. I will share it with my friends to prevent him from starving." trouble, Xie Guang."

"Then I say no thank you for Him."

Li Xiaoming found that this believer didn't seem that violent and could stand jokes. As long as he didn't violate the bottom line, he was still easy to chat with.

Mainly, I have seen the God of Holy Light of the Holy Cross Religion, but that was a long time ago, probably more than 800 years ago. At that time, the two gods fought together to compete for the God of Light Control.

Later, because Ming Wuyan was going to other universes, he gave him the title of God of Holy Light. Unexpectedly, after so many years of not seeing each other, he would develop better and better.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, chasing each other, and looking for clothing stores on the street.

Those who didn't know it really thought they were a young couple on their honeymoon.

But good times don't last long, and there are always people who ruin the atmosphere.

Saint Assad was in a relaxed mood before, but now she seems uncomfortable, and Li Xiaoming is also helpless.

About a few minutes ago, a homeless man wrapped in woolen cloth had fallen asleep next to the trash can. He was rudely woken up and driven away by law enforcement shortly after.

The man wearing a helmet shouted: "This is not a place for you to sleep. Go back to your slums, poor people."

The homeless man was timid and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm really sleepy. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he hurriedly packed away the old cans and newspapers that he had rummaged through the trash can yesterday.

"Hey, what are you doing? I told you to leave quickly and don't stay here to be an eyesore."

"But sir, I collected it with great difficulty. Please..."

Before he finished speaking, the scavenger was kicked hard on the butt by the other party and fell to the ground.

Then he kicked down the bag of discarded items that the other party had worked so hard to collect, and the items were scattered on the ground with a clattering sound.

The old man screamed in pain and fell into the pile of used bottles. It seemed that the kick was not light. After all, he was as skinny as a stick, but the opponent was very strong.

His pitiful look made the two accompanying law enforcers laugh.

"Haha, forget it Aiken, don't argue with him, he is just a poor man who pollutes the beauty of the city."

Aiken spat hard. "Just because there are people like this, the taxes I pay every year are 20% less. As a result, my salary has never been increased."

This is the person next to me, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed like the same thing.

Some of them were so angry that they kicked the can away. The two law enforcers even started playing with each other, not caring about the mood of the person lying on the ground.

The homeless man could only watch helplessly. He cast his gaze towards the man and woman in the distance, as if he was begging pitifully, hoping that the other party could come over and say a word.

Saint Assad was a little angry and wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Li Xiaoming.

“We are all God’s people, why are we talking so harshly to each other?”

He shook his head, grabbed Xiao De's hand and said: "Before encountering injustice, you must think about your abilities and whether you can avoid causing trouble to others.

"He is just being bullied now. Have you ever thought about how to help him without offending the three law enforcement officers? The charge may become assaulting the police, and we can walk away, but what about the old man? Have you ever thought about it? Think about it carefully?"

Saint Assad was silent, and for some reason he remembered the little girl next to the statue.

Watching the poor prayers being driven out of the church through the candlestick, I felt so helpless at this moment, but I just couldn't figure it out.

The two of them turned their gaze elsewhere at the same time, choosing to be silent bystanders.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and it is tacitly accepted by duty, so what is there to say?

To know the crime rate in this city, every law enforcement officer is armed.

"Forget it, don't waste time here. Hey, that poor man should clean up this place quickly. Then get out of here as far as you can."

Fortunately, the third person accompanying them was quite accommodating and quickly dissuaded the two people and left as if nothing happened.

The homeless man nodded gratefully and quickly filled the bottle.

"You're lucky. If it hadn't been for the bill that was enacted a year ago, I would have seen you like this. I would fight you every time I see a guy who only spreads germs."

After saying this, the three of them walked together and began the boring patrol and "rent collection" every morning.

After the other party left, Saint Assad quickly walked over, bent down and picked up the waste.
