“Master, Master, the remnants of the treasure thieves said that as long as we give them more financial support, they can guide public opinion and let the news ferment. When that time comes, Vivian’s reputation will be ruined, and it will definitely be a major blow to the reconstruction of Red Flame Town.
An excited report from the butler came into her ears.
From the butlers point of view, he thought that they would definitely lose. Who would have thought that such a big piece of pie would fall from the sky!
When the daughter of the Count of the Sisre family, Liz, returned, she immediately announced the death of her father, as well as the deaths of the butler and a large number of maids in the manor and the Count’s castle.
And all these shocking events were actually done by one person, a person that no one had expected.
Vivian.
Even though the father -less young lady had emphasized many times that her father, Count Sisre, as well as the butler and many maids under her, had been corrupted by the evil power known as the Fallen Abyss and turned into a monster, she had never expected that she would be able to do so. Vivian Vivian was a righteous person who destroyed the count and the monster servants, and even saved her daughter who was almost harmed by the Fallen Abyss.
However, how many people would believe this nonsense that sounded like a fantasy?
Moreover, he had to be careful.
The truth of the matter did not matter anymore. What was important was that Vivian had killed the count, as well as so many butlers and maids in the manor. Just this point alone was enough to make a big fuss.
At least, that was what the butler thought.
Therefore, he felt that if he could think of it, the old master would definitely be able to do it too. Therefore, the old master must be very happy now, right?
This was also the reason why the butler rushed over excitedly without knocking on the door.
However…
The truth seemed to be a hundred million points different from what he had imagined.
Count Du Lin’s sudden roar scared the steward silly. He stood there, not knowing what to do.
Nou still want to go against that little girl? Do you know that he’s an earl, an earl! A person like me went to Crimson Flame Town and died!”
Du Lin’s voice was trembling. He gripped the armrests of the chair, his face full of uncontrollable fear.
The butler finally recovered from his shock. He still didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem and tried to comfort them.
“Master! The city guards are now looking for Vivian. No matter how arrogant that little girl is, how can she…”
“Shut up!”
Bang!
Du Lin stood up angrily. He even threw the tea set on the table onto the ground.
“Take a good look. Can you call that a wanted criminal? How could there be such a wanted criminal? There was not a single picture of Vivian in the entire city. There were not even many soldiers. More importantly, the Fire God Cult did not even say a word. They were all just putting on an act!
“In that case, why…Why did the eldest daughter of the Sisre family announce this matter? W’hy did he have to say that Vivian did it? It seemed that even Vivian had tacitly agreed to this?”
The butler was finally a little scared, but he was not willing to give up. He had one last question.
Du Lin sighed. He sat back on the chair.
“Don’t you understand? She’s trying to show off. She’s trying to show off to me. If she can kill Count Cecil today, she can also kill Count Du Lin tomorrow! After killing them, they were still at large and nothing happened. The city guards, the Fire God Cult, and even… It was very likely that even the Lord Fire God of the World would stand on her side!”
“What? Even… Even Lord Fire God…” Knowing this, the butler seemed to have lost his strength. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground with a plop.
“Now, hurry up and cut off all connections between the remaining members of the Treasure Thief Gang and the rest of the family. Don’t leave a single one alive! Also, what did you say before? The treasure thieves want to ask us for funds to induce public opinion and ruin Vivian’s reputation? A bunch of courting death things!”
Count Du Lin slapped the table hard. He had been able to reach his current position because of his decisive decision -making ability. He had made a mistake in his decision and regarded Vivian as his enemy. Now, he wanted to protect himself. Du Lin would not be stingy with his series of reversed decisions.
He knocked on the table and pondered for a moment before instructing the butler,”
“First, stabilize the remnants of the treasure thieves. In fact, secretly send someone to find the city guards and ask them to arrest all the criminals who spread false news about Lady Vivian.
” In addition, publicly acknowledge that we accept Miss Liz’s statement and express our condolences for Count Sisre’s death. At the same time, we also acknowledge Miss Vivian’s heroic actions.
“And…” Du Lin paused for a while. It was obvious that his heart ached, but he still gritted his teeth and continued.
” Also, in order to thank Miss Vivian for helping us nobles get rid of the hidden danger, we have decided to fulfill the terms of the bet in advance and compensate Miss Vivian for free. We will deliver the supplies to Red Flame Town within a week. ”
After saying these long words, Du Lin seemed to have aged several years.
He slumped on the chair and waved at the butler, telling him to hurry up and carry it out.
He hoped that this series of goodwill would work and make Vivian spare his life.
Now that he thought about it, it was because of the girl’s soft and weak appearance that he thought Vivian was the kind of girl who had strength but was restrained, kind and naive. She was just short of the word ” easy to bully ” written on her head.
But now it seemed like…
Count Dulin put away the book on his desk. It was a collection of stories that he liked to read when he was young. One of the stories was about the destruction of a kingdom. It all started from the queen who looked kind on the surface, but in fact, she was a…Witch.
Witch…
In the past, Du Lin felt that these two words were very far away from him and the Flame Domain. They only existed in legends, but now it seemed…
He shivered all over.
In Du Lin’s heart, Vivian was already the same as the Witch Queen in the fairy tale.
Many people had Du Lin’s mentality.
Ordinary citizens may not know the concept of a witch, but that did not stop them from showing their fear of Vivian.
In a market, a young girl with a black wolf cub in her arms was choosing something. The owner of the stall was chatting with another customer who seemed to be familiar with her.
“Have you heard? Count Sisre died yesterday!
“Yes, what a great noble. I still remember that when Fire Code City was attacked by the monsters, it was the Sisre Family who took the initiative to donate money to speak for the refugees outside the city. ”
“They all said that it was…That Lady Vivian killed him. I think it’s ridiculous.
How is that possible?”lt seemed that the stall owner had a good impression of Vivian.
However, it was the same for his customers.
” What’s impossible about that? I’m telling you, the reconstruction of Red Flame Town is such a big project, and there’s a lot of money in it. It’s enough to corrupt people’s minds. I’m guessing that the Earl must have discovered some corruption secrets when he went to inspect Red Flame Town, and was killed by Vivian!”
“Really.„Really?”
The boss immediately shrank his neck and revealed a frightened expression. However, he could not resist his curiosity and continued to ask the familiar customer for more details.
No one noticed that the girl who was holding the wolf cub by the stall had left silently.
However, even if they went to another shop, the result would be the same.
The biggest topic in the city was about the death of the Earl and Vivian.
Even if they were walking on the road, they could hear things like.. “Count Sisre was such a good person, but he was actually killed. ”
“Yes, I heard that it was the Earl who kindly took in that little girl from the countryside. Who would have thought that he would invite a wolf into his house!
“No, I think there must be a misunderstanding. How could Lady Vivian be that kind of person?? ”
“Hehe, haven’t you heard the rumors that have popped up recently? They all said that Vivian was actually a witch! Everything that happened in the past was just an act. It was because the Earl had seen through her true face that she was killed. It was said that the little wolf that Vivian had been holding had swallowed her whole. She died a horrible death!”
“Hug…A little wolf in my arms?” The passerby’s voice suddenly jumped in shock.
“Shh! Don’t say anymore. Look over there. That, that person holding the wolf cub, do you think he’s…”
“Ah? Ah! And… Really, what should I do? There are city guards over there.. We, we have to go!”
