Chapter 102 Jing Yu

In the reception room, Ige sat on a leather chair behind a long yellow wooden table. He casually looked at the man who was brought in by two guards, and was slightly surprised.

After experiencing so many events, Eric is still alive today.

I thought he had long since become a dead soul under the claws of the night beast.

Unexpectedly, he was safe and sound.

What’s interesting is that every time Iger sees Eric, he looks new.

First a gangster, then a homeless man, and now.
Eric, who looks like an ordinary leather factory worker, wears a set of simple and durable work clothes.

The work clothes clearly come from a small handicraft workshop. They are made of rough textiles, but they look strong enough to resist the dirt and oil stains in the tannery.

His hands were thick and strong, roughened by long periods of friction and labor, and scars and scratches were faintly visible between his fingers.

This is an unavoidable side effect of a leatherworker’s daily routine.

He wears a wide-brimmed hat.

The hat looked gray after years, which was in line with Eric's simple and unpretentious temperament.

No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary leather worker.

"Long time no see, Eric."

"Good afternoon, Lord Priest." Eric stood firm and determined in front of the city lord's palace, but when he actually saw Ige, he immediately became cautious.

Three years had obviously passed, but the first time Eric saw the black-robed priest again, he immediately recalled that bloody afternoon.

The blood of the Silver Tiger Gang members covered the entire headquarters.

It became his lingering shadow.

However, precisely because of this, he strengthened his determination to join Ige.

As a man who was born in the small building of the "White Mountain Brothel" on Ligang Street and has been at the bottom of the entire "Talek" since he was a child, he has seen too much filth.

While other children of the same age were still having fun, he was already serving tea and water in a brothel.

Everyone who hangs out on Ligang Street has the ability to observe words and emotions and assess the situation.

This is especially true for Eric, who has been dealing with all kinds of people since he was a child.

This is why the first time he saw Ige, he knew that he was someone he couldn't easily mess with.

Everything that happened afterwards confirmed his judgment.

For him, several encounters with Yig gave him a precious connection with this priest who had increasing power in the "Talek".

There was no way he would give up such a connection.

However, he also knew that it was useless to go directly to find Ige to recommend himself.

He has no value to the opponent, and his only strength is his muscles, which are just some advantages compared to the average level of "Talek".

If he really wanted to look for him, there would be many who were bigger than him in the hunting team, let alone the city guards.

So Eric understood that he must reflect his role and value in order to impress the man in front of him who has become the lord of a city:

"Master Priest, I have something I want to report to you!"

"Oh?" Ige's expression was as usual and his tone was calm, but it gave Eric a strong sense of oppression. "Before that, I must tell you first, Eric."

"I don't think it is legal behavior to harass my guards in front of the city lord's palace."

"If every resident of Tarek followed your example, the whole city would be in chaos."

"It's been publicized in the city for so long. I think you should also know that if you have anything to do, go to the Shengfang Square and find the corresponding department. If you are unclear or the matter is complicated, go to the Public Affairs Department Building." "So, if you tell My matter is not urgent enough to warrant breaking the rules, so I have to conclude that you are maliciously violating the 'Talek Resident Rules'."

"If I remember correctly, malicious violations related to the City Lord's Mansion are punishable by at least one year's imprisonment."

Eric's heart tightened when he heard what the man in front of him said in a calm tone while sitting behind the long table.

Ige's power was stronger than when he was in the Silver Tiger Gang, and Eric felt great pressure from his not-so-loud voice.

However, the matter has come to this, and there is no room for retreat!
Eric took a deep breath, managed to calm down, and tried his best to show confidence in his judgment:
"Master Priest, the important information I brought will definitely not disappoint you!"

Seeing that Ige was noncommittal, Eric took another short breath and recounted his experience:
"Master Priest, when the massacre on Ligang Street happened three years ago, I escaped because I happened to be collecting things on the Boulevard."

"Later I found out that Ligang Street was destroyed, so I had to go to Minton Street to see if there were any opportunities."

"It also happened to escape the disaster of 'that night'."

Minton Street is at the southeast corner of the "Talek". People who lived there heard the summons bell and then went to Saint Zemla Square. It was indeed possible to appear outside the crowd, which was considered relatively safe at the time.

But that wasn't what Ig wanted to hear, at least not just that.

Eric, who was always observing Iger's expression, felt that the other person's expression did not fluctuate, so he involuntarily speeded up his narration:

"Later, when the leather factory area in Tarek was to be rebuilt, I ran to join the construction workers."

"Finally, I was spotted by the recruiter of Jingyu Leather Factory, and I became a leather factory worker there."

"I have been able to do this until now, and I have become a small foreman in the area."

Of course Iger knew "Jingyu", because under his intentional control, "Talek" rebuilt a total of five tanneries.

The largest among them is the "Black Rock Leather" affiliated to the City Lord's Mansion, which can bring a large amount of income to the Black Clothes Gift every year.

Then there is the Dadi Tannery rebuilt by Father Earth Church.

Jingyu Leather Factory is the smallest among the five.

But it is said to be the smallest, and because it has caught a ride on the prosperity of the "Taleq" leather trade, it has been developing well in the past two years.

"You mean, what's wrong with Jingyu?" Eric laid out such a long list, and Iger lost his patience a little, so he simply started asking questions.

According to the schedule, he should go to the Ministry of Commerce building at this time to receive the results of last month's commercial tax audit.

Every minute and second wasted in the reception room actually affects the work of the commercial department.

This is why in the rapidly developing "Talek", everyone's time is precious, but the city lord's time is especially precious.

If Eric continues to meander there, Iger plans to ask him to go to the North City Prison directly——

It was a huge prison that he allocated more than 20 pieces of Fanike gold to build, and it was located next to the city guard's north station.

Everyone who went in said good things when they came out.

Eric noticed the impatience in Iger's tone, and felt bitter in his heart.

He wanted to get to the point directly, but without explaining his background and experience clearly and rashly telling what happened next, he was afraid that he would not get any good results.

But now that the priest has asked, Eric has no choice but to answer:

"Yes, my lord priest."

"Jingyu Tannery has a big problem."

"Miscellaneous Moon Grass is being sold there!"
