Words become gods: run away, this player is too scary

Chapter 240 Layers of masks

A few hours later, Su Ke left a clothing store dressed in fine clothes.

His outfit cost him exactly fifteen quid.

Oz Grant has the address of an antique store in his memory.

This store is not large in scale, but it is responsible for the sales of stolen goods by many gangs.

Oz Grant worked in this antique shop a long time ago.

The shop owner paid the money readily.

After selling ten gold coins, Su Ke got 150 gold pounds.

The gold coins were more valuable than he thought.

The gold pound in this era is directly linked to gold and is a very strong currency.

150 gold pounds, which is already a lot of money.

With some money on hand, Su Ke did not sell more gold coins.

After all, these gold coins came from the tomb. If someone came to his door, it would be difficult for him to explain the source.

Although ten gold coins are a lot, they are not enough to attract the attention of forces like the Church of Light.

At most, it will only attract some ordinary gangsters.

For Su Ke, these gangs formed by ordinary people are nothing more than a group of walking money bags.

He was wearing a close-fitting black suit and had a long civilized stick in his hand.

The "civilized stick" is also called the "gentleman's walking stick" and can be used as a weapon when necessary.

This civilized stick is made of a very strong hardwood, almost as thick as two fingers, and the head and tip are covered with metal.

The end of the cane is connected with a horn, which acts as a wear-resistant buffer.

With Su Ke's current wrist strength, although it can't be said to break mountains and rocks when he is struck with a stick, there is still no problem in cracking his head open.

It had just rained at this time, and the humid air in Grant City lost some of its unpleasant smell.

The establishment of a large number of factories has caused large-scale air pollution.

The smoke emitted by thousands of chimneys continues to turn into dust and scatter.

There are no visible consequences in the short term, but Su Ke knows that if this continues, the residents of this city will pay a heavy price.

But this was something he couldn't stop.

Businessmen and factory owners pursue profits, and workers also need to work in exchange for food.

In times like these, it is impossible to compromise the operations of these factories in pursuit of illusory environmental benefits.

Not to mention him, not even the aloof King His Majesty could do such a thing.

"Perhaps the only person who has the ability to change all this is the Pope of the Church of Light..."

It's just that it's impossible for him to do such a thing.

Through Oz Grant's memory, Su Ke knew.

Behind one-third of the large factories in the Kingdom of England there is the shadow of the Church of Illuminati.

The Pope of the Church of Light can be said to be the largest factory owner in the Kingdom of England.

How can he lose his own interests for the health of others?

Those lower-class people in the Kingdom of England were not even noble dogs in his eyes.

After all, the vast majority of low-class people are inferior beings that even the God of Light is unwilling to educate.

Their death may even be called a purification in the eyes of the Church.

At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, emitting brilliant brilliance.

Most of the water on the ground had evaporated, and Su Ke took the civilization stick and turned into a small alley.

He's creating opportunities for guys who come after him.

Ever since he left the clothing store, he found that he was being watched.

After all, he spends a lot of money in clothing stores, and he looks like a nouveau riche who has made a fortune.

And such targets are the favorites of gang members.

"Boy, hand over all the money you have!"

Several burly men gathered around with ferocious smiles on their faces, holding weapons such as sharp swords and steel pipes in their hands.

Nowadays, firearms using gunpowder have appeared, and they are still very powerful. Even ordinary low-priced extraordinary people can't defend themselves against bullet attacks.

But this is Grant City.

There is dual control here by the Church of Light and the Suppression Bureau.

Ordinary gang members have no access to firearms.

Zuko looked at his prey teasingly and raised his hand holding the civilization stick.

........................

After a while, Zuko immediately entered the alley.

Those sturdy men fell to the ground, wailing and crying bitterly.

They were just ordinary people, how could they be Su Ke's opponents?

They were all defeated by Zuko easily.

All the money they carried became Su Ke's trophies.

What a coincidence, it was exactly 15 gold pounds.

This also means that his entire wardrobe has become a friendly gift from these people.

"Sure enough, these gang members are all good people!"

Zuko muttered to himself.

But then again, his identity now is Oz Grant.

Grant City is the territory of the Grant family.

As a descendant of the Grant family, it is only natural for Oz Grant to collect some rent from his family's territory.

........................

Not long after leaving the alley, Zuko found a suitable place to stay.

This is a residence at No. 236 Lantern Street.

The owners of the house are a middle-aged couple who have an annual income of about 200 pounds a year.

In the Kingdom of England, this kind of income can already allow them to live a relatively decent life.

Especially in Grant City.

After all, this is just a medium-sized city, with a small scale and a much lower consumption level than those in big cities.

But before that, the male owner of the family lost a lot of money due to investment problems.

There was trouble with cash flow.

They had to rent out a vacant house to meet their immediate needs.

Su Ke spent fifty gold pounds to rent the right to use the house for one year.

Now his external identity is that of an idle rich man who came to Grant City specifically to visit.

"Maybe... I still need a housekeeper and maid..."

The landlord and his wife live in the building next door, so he can go to their house for dinner.

Three meals a day are provided, which is stated in the contract.

But he is not short of money now.

If he wants to perfectly maintain his own character, he needs a professional housekeeper and a hard-working maid.

"On the surface I look like a rich guy who is idle, but if you take off the mask, I'm a liar named Oz.

A con man pretending to be a member of the Grant family.

On the surface, I look like a liar pretending to be a member of the Grant family, but in fact, I am really a descendant of the Grant family.

Even if the mask of being a descendant of the Grant family is blown, I am still Zuko.

Su Ke, the terminator of the old days and the lord of the red sun, this is my true identity! "

Zuko picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

The wines in this world taste very good, and every bottle on earth costs hundreds of thousands.

Here, one gold pound can buy a dozen bottles.

If commercial contact with the earth can be established in the future, these wines will be good commodities.
