Alien Paradise.

Chapter 158 The Price of Stability

"When I was at a loss, I met a messenger who claimed to be a paradise. He said he could help me...or in other words, he could fulfill my wish." Chaoyang looked at the mask, as if caught in a long memory , "If I had no worries about food and clothing, I would definitely not believe this kind of nonsense that sounds like a liar, but for a person who is about to drown, I don't want to miss even a straw."

"So I asked him for help, and I asked for help without reservation. As a result, I got a new life, no longer worry about food and drink, and even had some spare money to help the poor. It can be said that there is no Paradise, and there is no my present Everything, this is also the origin of the name of the foundation. After hearing that the new continent needs manpower to open up, I chose Brilliant Fort as my first foothold. Then, as you can see, the Gate of Destiny operated very smoothly. And the effect of the new drug is really outstanding.”

"The most important thing is that I didn't open the gate of destiny just to make money, and the pricing of medicines is also very considerate of the poor. In the plan to be promoted in the next step, I plan to let everyone in this city have access to medical care, and must I can afford the fee! I am not a good person, I just want to reach the agreement with Paradise... However, at this time, someone wants to destroy the situation created with great difficulty by the gate of destiny, and drag everyone back into the stinky gutter, then it becomes clear what I can do... ask them to help me again."

Chaoyang slowly told the "story" he had made up a long time ago.

That's right, he had long expected that the city guards would find out the pharmaceutical company, so he just had to take out the gate of fate and the temple.

As an unarmed medical boss, what's wrong with asking for help when threatened?
"..." Sandella picked up the mask, her face livid, "According to my method, you will not be threatened..."

"What about the Holy Church? Isn't the wish of the nuns worthy of respect?" Zhao Yang asked, "Indeed, you may not care about their treatment, just like you don't care about the miners who are thrown into the Holy Church to die Same. The death of these people was not because of anything else, but because of the malicious embezzlement of Lesheng Pharmaceutical designated by the four major companies, and the medical supplies provided to the Holy Church were all low-quality garbage, which led to the high death rate of the patients in the Holy Church .These people are the murderers of death!"

Sandra was at a loss for words for a while.

However, Chaoyang can also understand that the laws of this era are still very imperfect, and security work is limited to obvious direct crimes such as robbery and murder.As for indirect deaths caused by medical deficiencies and other reasons, as long as the nobles do not die, it is useless to call the police.

"So I can't accept your proposal, and I can't wait for the truth of the case to come out. I only know that if I don't take action as soon as possible, the company and the church will be destroyed by public opinion disputes." Chaoyang drank his saliva regretfully, " If you still have any questions, you may wish to meet the Angel of Paradise in person, and he may give you a satisfactory answer."

"He wants to see me?" Sandra asked in surprise.

"Why not? If you're in trouble, I'm sure he'll help you. Of course...if you can afford it."

"May I ask, what did you pay?"

"For the rest of my life." Chaoyang said deliberately in a pious tone, "I hope to build its paradise in the secular world, so that people in the world can enjoy a life full of hope. I know this goal is very far away, but it is better to make up your mind than to start. It's better to stay forever."

Sandra stared at him, momentarily confused.

After a long silence, she said, "I hope so. How should I see him? The messenger of Paradise you mentioned."

Chaoyang pointed to the mask on the table.

"At dusk today, when the sun is below the sea level, on the top of the Southwest Watchtower, as long as you go there wearing this mask, there is a high probability that you will see him."

He paused, then continued, "Actually, I was the one who was going to meet him, to express my gratitude to Paradise. But I don't think he would mind meeting a new lost person."

confused?What are you kidding, I went to ask him for a crime!

Sandra opened her mouth, but couldn't get the words out of her mind.

She finally picked up the mask and left the room without looking back.

"You really took the responsibility away." As soon as the commander left, Elodie poked her head in from outside the house, "Do you think she will believe what you said?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Now that there is a real evil god in the city, it will be enough for her to work for a while. If she is willing to believe in us, Paradise will have another helper; if she doesn't believe it, she will just continue to play hide and seek with the city guards. It’s not much different from now, as long as she doesn’t come to trouble the Holy Church and the pharmaceutical company.”

"Then why don't you see her right away, and wait until night? Isn't it better to strike while the iron is hot?"

"Because I've been busy all night and I want to get off work." Chaoyang picked up his teacup and drank it down. "Even if you are the owner of Paradise, you have to sleep first."

……

Sandra spent the whole day in restlessness. She first returned to the camp in the eastern suburbs to deal with the siege of reporters. She said that a serious cult incident occurred here last night. Then he rushed to the lord's mansion and reported the attack on the Black Steel Company to the lord.

Earl Li Qiang was also a little surprised, "Are you sure this has something to do with the cultists? What did the priests of the Divine Mechanism Sect say?"

Sandella thought for a while, but in the end she still didn't reveal anything about the paradise, "She thinks...the Black Steel Company has huge suspicions."

"That's it..." The count showed a pensive expression, "They pay a lot of taxes..."

Sandra would like to add a few more words, the lord has already made a decision, "Then confiscate all the assets of Black Steel to make up for the loss. Of course, this must be supported by evidence, do you understand?"

She immediately understood the meaning of the other party.

It was the same as the last time we suppressed the rebel miners... No evidence was found, so evidence was produced.

"..." Sandella lowered her head, "Then what if there are really cultists hiding among them, and the nobles are also involved?"

The reason why the four major companies can become the four major companies must be inseparable from the inflow of capital. If something is found out, it is hard to say that this is just the behavior of the company boss.

That's what worries her.

Li Qiang looked at her for a moment, then suddenly changed his expression, his eyes were no longer as cold as before, "You seem to have misunderstood me."

"No... my lord..."

"If we don't stop the miners' riots, they will definitely hurt the citizens who normally live here, so pushing the issue of cults on them can not only give a reasonable explanation for the whole incident, but also calm people's hearts." He put down his pen , got up and left the desk, "I ask you... Your Excellency Commander, what is the most important thing for Brilliant Fort?"

"...it's stability," Sandra replied.

"Yes, stability. Without a stable society, there will be no prosperity. The people need an answer, they don't like to wait in panic and anxiety, and businessmen don't want to invest in an environment with an uncertain future. This matter is essentially the same, If, according to the priestess, the cultists have surfaced, then we must fight back with a thunderous force. No matter whether it is the four major companies or the nobles behind it, I will not be soft. Because the cult is always the biggest enemy of stability. .”

Li Qiang walked up to the commander and patted her on the shoulder, "Go ahead, I will support you."
