They all call me master

Chapter 692 Port VII

When Arthur and the Marquis of West Berlin were discussing the details of a new cooperation, it was completely dark, and the light from the lighthouse outside the port of Dordot began to shine nearby.

And the coolies were still busy.

Although everyone was sweating, everyone had a smile on their face.

Although the martial law lasted for most of the day, it did not delay the coolies from making money, and they even made more today.

Those merchants increased the wages for the freshness and timely arrival of the goods.

"Thanks to the 'Orient'!"

"It would be great if we could come here once a month!"

Many coolies said this.

Most of them were young people.

Those who were a little older were silent.

They had long lost their illusions. They only hoped to carry more goods and get more wages so that their wives, children and parents could eat more.

But Chet was different.

As the second son in the family, Chet had lost his father long ago, his brother was seriously ill, his sister left home, and his mother...

When he thought of his mother, Chet clenched his fists.

His mother was no longer the mother he remembered.

Since he came into contact with the "Inland River Church", his mother has completely changed.

Not only was all the family property sold, but even the money for his brother's medical treatment was gone, his sister left home, and the whole person became a stranger.

It seems that he is not a family member at all.

The members of the "Inland River Church" are.

He wanted to persuade his mother many times, but it didn't work.

He was treated indifferently again and again.

For this reason, he even thought about dying.

But after being discovered, he was rescued.

Facing the pity of the people around him, Chet felt extremely uncomfortable, embarrassed, and sad.

He...

Shouldn't have lived like this.

So, he came to the dock and became a coolie.

He waited for an opportunity.

...

There were already grooves on Beretz's face, and these grooves tightened as the tax officer frowned.

"Alas!"

The tax officer sighed, his eyes full of regret.

An unprecedented meeting was held in the church tonight.

Even the high priest came.

He could have participated, but as a tax officer at the dock, he needed to come forward to manage the dock under martial law today because of the arrival of the "Orient".

So, he could only miss it with regret.

This feeling of regret made Beretz feel that the glory of God was leaving him.

Standing in his own office at the dock, the tax officer looked at the busy coolies and sailors and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"Damn lowly people, do you know what I gave up for you?

Damn! Damn!"

In the continuous cursing, the tax officer looked at the white passenger ship at the dock, and immediately, there was more jealousy in his eyes.

"A lucky guy!

You won't last long!

The Lord God will definitely punish you!"

Jealousy turned into resentment.

And resentment made the tax collector even more dissatisfied.

Especially when he thought of the rumored Nanlos 'medium' who unexpectedly obtained the status of a noble, the tax collector's jealousy was about to explode.

Noble!

That was an unattainable status for him!

And if it weren't for the appearance of the Lord God, he would never be able to achieve it in his lifetime!

"Lord God, please hurry up!

Give me a gift quickly!

I have been waiting for three years!"

The tax collector prayed in a low voice.

And at this time-

Dong, Dongdong!

Rhythmic knocks on the door suddenly sounded.

Berets turned around immediately and saw the note stuffed in from the crack of the door. The tax collector immediately ran over and picked it up.

As for the person outside the door?

The tax collector didn't care.

In other words, at the beginning, the tax collector still cared about it, but after failing to find the person knocking on the door for several times, the tax collector gave up.

And, he attributed it to a miracle.

After opening the note, the tax collector showed joy on his face.

"It's started!

It's really started!

The Lord God heard my prayer!"

The tax collector murmured, and then he took action.

According to the oracle, he needed to gather the stewards on the dock.

Then, create an explosion.

Use this explosion to announce the reappearance of the "church".

After that?

It's none of his business.

The priest Delpok will handle everything.

And he only needs to wait!

Wait for his reward!

Just like the grace he received when they first met - that kind of "holy water" actually gave him new vitality, and he returned to the peak moment of being a man. Although it is not a permanent effect, there will be "holy water" every once in a while. What is the difference between this and forever?

Especially those female believers who are willing to dedicate themselves.

This made the tax collector linger.

However, no matter how many female believers there were, they were not enough to stop the tax collector.

He wanted the Port of Dordot.

He collected taxes here.

However, the taxes were not his.

This feeling was too uncomfortable!

"But this time, it's different!

Not only God's grace!

Even the Port of Dordot will be mine!"

Beretz muttered in his mouth, and his steps became faster and faster.

The tax officer left his office and walked to the small square at the dock. He couldn't wait any longer, so he didn't wait for the two guards outside the office. Unlike the soldiers patrolling the dock, these two guards were hired by Beretz himself.

Although they were wearing military uniforms, they were actually bodyguards, which was considered an extra conscription.

Therefore, the tax officer who thought he had saved the lives of the two people only gave them half of the salary of other soldiers.

The remaining half?

The tax officer put it in his pocket.

The two guards understood this.

Just like at this time, when they didn't see the stingy employer take the initiative to say hello, the two guards were also happy to be idle.

Moreover, the small square was right in front of them, what else could go wrong?

Impossible!

The two guards were quite confident. They leaned against the wall, hugged their shoulders and looked at their employer, stood on the wooden box, and rang the bell on the dock-

Ding Ding Ding!

Amid the continuous knocking sound, the tax officer shouted loudly.

"Managers, come to my place for a meeting!"

After repeating it three times in a row to make sure that all managers could hear, the tax officer smiled unconsciously.

His good days are finally coming.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Beretz could feel a touch of heat brushing past his ear.

Gun!

Someone is trying to assassinate me!

This thought came to his mind, but Beretz's body turned subconsciously, wanting to see what was going on, while Beretz's brain told the tax officer to dodge.

Instinct and brain collided at this time.

Immediately, Beretz's body paused.

And at this moment——

Bang!

The second gunshot rang out.

And this shot hit the target.
