Chapter 300 The Great Philanthropist
At No. 26 Garden Street, Wu Chang and Irene sat in the attic, watching Amber who had fallen into deep sleep.

Wu Chang looked at Amber's hand, staring at the area where she had just been burned, and an astonishing guess emerged in his mind.

Could the fire in Siegf City be related to the burns Amber just suffered?
If yes, why?

Due to the resentment of the fluorescent bacteria, Amber was often injured in life. Not to mention the distant past, in the mirror world two days ago, Grace, who was possessed by the Mirror Killer, beat Amber with her fists and feet many times.

In terms of the severity of the injury, the one Amber suffered was definitely more serious than being burned by fire.

Whenever Amber was injured in the past, there was no unusual movement in Siegf City, so why did there be a reaction this time?

But if we say there is no connection between the two, then it would all be too much of a coincidence.

However, regardless of whether the sudden fire in Siegf City was related to Amber, there was one thing Wu Chang could be sure of, that was that Amber was definitely not ordinary.

Amid Dean Amanda's resentment, Amber, in desperation, directly lifted the heavy stone statue that was pressing on Dean Amanda. When she saw him being burned by fire, she also burst out with a speed that surpassed him and Irene.

This kind of outburst has surpassed the limits of countless human bodies and it cannot be explained by an athlete unleashing his potential in extreme anger.

Wu Chang shook his head, putting Amber's identity aside, and looked at the hint that appeared in front of him.

Before Amber fell asleep, her approval of him had increased further.

"You successfully protected Amber, freeing her from the curse that brought doom to those around her, and allowing her to open her heart to others again."

"You have gained some recognition from Amber. Amber's current recognition value for you is 40 points."

"You gain an additional 10% attribute liberation."

Wu Chang's current property panel is:

Life: 36
Strength: Body: 36/True Self: 92
Agility: 25
Stamina: 27
Energy: Body: 115/True Self: 68
Inspiration: 49
Will: 68
After unlocking another 10% of his attributes, Wu Chang finally had one attribute that exceeded three digits, which was a bit like the weird numerical properties he had before.

The increase in attributes is a good thing, but even though he killed the fluorescent colony and helped Amber get rid of the mastermind that had kept her in misfortune, his recognition level only increased by 20 points.

It seems that his guess when he killed the Mirror Killer was correct. If he wants to gain Amber's full recognition, he needs to help Amber solve five troubles, or five inner demons.

Trouble like the Mirror Killer and the Fluorescent Colony, and there are three more!

Wu Chang sighed and looked at Amber with a look full of heartache and helplessness.

How could a child in his early teens have so many serious worries? When he was in elementary school, he was still thinking about how to play with his cell phone secretly every day.

Wu Chang and Irene waited until ten o'clock before Amber slowly woke up from her coma.

Amber looked at Wu Chang when she was sober. There was hesitation on her face, and she seemed not to know what to say.

Wu Chang stood up, took off the pink apron she had been wearing, and said, "Don't sit there like an idiot. Let's eat first."

Amber was in the period of growth. She hadn't eaten until ten o'clock and was already feeling hungry. When Wu Chang mentioned it, her stomach started to growl.

She walked towards the dining table with a slightly red face and whispered back, "Oh."

"Wait." Wu Chang called Amber and pointed at the sink.

"Go wash your hands first."

When Amber was bewitched by the fluorescent colonies before, she sang hand in hand with her friends. The monsters are actually luminous colonies. God knows how many kinds of bacteria there are on your hands after touching them.

Amber: "Oh."

At the dinner table, Wu Chang mentioned the things in the attic very naturally.

"I've met your friends before. They're not good people."

Amber stopped eating. She vaguely remembered that when she was controlled, it was the mushroom people who took the initiative to attack Wu Chang.

When the mushroom people attacked, she felt the familiar panic she got whenever something important happened to someone in her life.

So the first moment she woke up, she eagerly looked for Wu Chang and Irene, fearing that they would be hurt.

Amber did not answer, but Wu Chang continued:
"Although I used to be a combat athlete and my profession was to beat people, when I was young, I met some people with extraordinary abilities, and I also know a thing or two about beating spiritual creatures."

"I'm not a control freak. I don't mean to interfere with my daughter's friendships. But I won't allow friends who will hurt you to exist. Even if you blame me, I won't agree."

Amber really wanted to say that she didn't blame Wu Chang, but it was clearly because of her that Wu Chang was in danger, so she didn't seem to have the right to say this.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.

Irene, who was standing by, said at the right moment: "Now that the matter in the attic has been resolved, do you want to come down to sleep?"

Amber nodded after hearing this.

This is what it’s like as a family, someone needs to play the good cop and someone needs to play the bad cop.

Wu Chang needs to use direct words to point out Amber's concerns and create a reliable image so that Amber will no longer be afraid.

Although Amber would be grateful to him in her heart, the incident was caused by her after all. When talking about these things, even if they have been resolved, she would instinctively want to escape.

And Irene provided her with a haven of escape.

Not only did he indicate that the matter was over, he also took the initiative to welcome her down and wanted to get to know her better.

Amber looked at Irene, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Irene, I'm afraid of being alone. Can I sleep with you?"

Erin gently put her arm around Amber's shoulders and said, "Of course."

sure……

When this answer reached Wu Chang's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

No, what happened?
He had finally helped Amber out of misfortune and killed Qianmu who was peeping in the dark. He had already thought about how to ask for a reward from Irene at night, or how to reward Irene for getting rid of the fluorescent colony.

Two things worth celebrating happened at the same time, which should have brought him double the joy, but how did it turn out like this?
I am also a person who is afraid of.

He opened his mouth several times, but in the end he failed to tell Amber that children of her age should go back to their own rooms to sleep.

Forget it, since you are so pitiful, I’ll give Irene to you first.

He lowered his head and ate the rice in the bowl, saying aggrievedly: "Then I'll go to the guest room to sleep."

Under Irene's guidance, Amber gradually came out of the shadow of the attic incident.

After dinner, for the first time, she did not return to the attic immediately, but followed Irene to clean up the dishes together.

Before going to bed, Amber asked Wu Chang, "I want to go out with Grace on the weekend."

Wu Chang was flipping through the Sigoff Evening News and said, "Do you need me to follow you?"

Amber shook her head and said firmly, "No!"

She knew very well that Grace had plans for Wu Chang, and she had to reduce the meetings between Grace and Wu Chang.

She didn't want Irene to be sad, nor did she want Wu Chang to go to jail.

Wu Chang shrugged, "Be careful and remember to go home before dark."

He asked just for the sake of formality. Regardless of whether Amber agreed or not, he would follow secretly.

What a joke! Amber still has three tricky problems, and he doesn't want Amber to leave his sight.

He watched Amber smile as she entered the bedroom with a pillow and Erin, he rolled his eyes and returned to the guest room with the newspaper.

In the middle of the night, a scream woke Wu Chang from his sleep, and the scream seemed to come from Amber.

He hurried to the next room and saw Irene hugging Amber and comforting her.

There were no doom signs around, and nothing unusual happened, so it seemed that the exclamation did not come from an attack.

"What happened?"

Erin stroked Amber gently, looked up and said, "Amber had a nightmare."

Nightmare.

At this moment, Amber's face was pale and her whole body was trembling, as if she had just experienced a terrifying experience.

Although Amber longs for redemption and love, it does not mean that she is weak at heart.

On the contrary, Wu Chang had never seen anyone as strong as her. The one who could scare Amber like this was definitely not an ordinary nightmare.

He squatted down, looked at Amber, and asked:
"What did you dream about?" Amber shook her head gently, "I can't remember clearly."

Wu Chang continued to ask: "Do you often have this kind of nightmare?"

Amber recalled for a moment and shook her head again: "Today is the first time."

Wu Chang said softly: "It's okay, Irene will be with you, and I'm outside too. No matter what you dream about or what happens, we will be by your side at the first time."

Seeing that Amber's face was sleepy again after being comforted by Irene, he turned off the bedroom light and returned to the guest room.

When he found out that Amber's approval rating was only 40 points, he knew that Amber's troubles were far from over, but he didn't expect that the troubles would come so quickly.

A nightmare that happened for the first time and I can't remember the details.

The things Amber encountered were becoming more and more difficult.

The next morning, at breakfast time, Amber seemed to have gotten rid of the influence of the nightmare. She had a smile on her face and seemed to be looking forward to meeting Grace in a while.

Killing the fluorescent bacteria made Amber gradually open up his heart, and the beneficiaries were not only him and Irene, but also Grace.

Before, Amber always thought that she was different from ordinary people. She longed to become friends with others, but was afraid of bringing misfortune to her friends and being regarded as a freak by her friends after exposing her own abnormalities.

Now, without any worries, she can interact with others more sincerely and openly.

Maybe, she is about to gain her first friend in her life.

Today is the weekend, and there is no need to rush to school or work after breakfast. Wu Chang turns on the TV during dinner time. The local TV station in Siegf is broadcasting the current fire situation.

The wildfire started in five places and spread in five directions, making it difficult to stop.

In just one night, three large communities were burned to the ground, and villas near the Iside Mountain area were engulfed in flames in the first half of the night.

The fire has not been brought under control yet and the wildfire is spreading towards the city. The entire sky south of Sigoff City is illuminated in a black and red color of smoke and flames.

During the break in the TV station's broadcast of the fire news, there was an interview with the great philanthropist Mr. Heping.

The scene switched, and my real self was wearing a suit, thin metal-framed glasses, and was one size smaller, sitting in the studio and being interviewed.

Mr. Peace's information scrolled at the bottom of the screen. His life story was a direct copy of Miles' experience, except that after graduating from a prestigious university, he earned a lot of wealth through investment, returned to Siegf City with a lot of money, and was determined to boost the economy of his hometown.

The script was prepared by Miles, and the real me in the show was just a script-reading machine with expressions.

With the official endorsement of the TV station, after the morning interview, the whole city of Siegf will know that a great philanthropist has returned home in glory and made an important contribution to this fire.

As for what contribution it made, the program did not specify and no one dared to ask.

Wu Chang just watched the interview for a few seconds, then turned off the TV and said to Amber:

"You should watch less of this kind of program and don't learn bad things from the people on TV. Come eat quickly. After you finish eating, I'll take you to Grace's house."

Wu Chang has a very clear understanding of his own position. He has never been a good person, and he has never wanted to be a good person.

He will do good things, but he does them just because what he wants to do is good, not because that thing is good.

Nowadays, everyone is holding a gun, waiting for good guys to show up. It is a high-risk industry.

At this moment, Bad Man Heping had just finished the interview. On his way out of the studio, he took off his tie that was as tight as a noose and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.

Phew, this thing is so stuffy.

After leaving the TV station, he got into the car that originally belonged to Kent. Miles was already waiting for him in the back seat.

Seeing the real me come out, Miles quickly reported:

"Boss, the work is going smoothly. 70% of the residents in the burned communities cannot afford the high property taxes and cleanup costs, and have agreed to sell their land at a low price."

Wu Chang took off his suit and asked casually, "What were the residents' reactions?"

Miles smiled and said, "They are all thanking us. After all, the price we offer is 20% higher than those insurance companies and real estate companies."

Bai Lao K is not short of money, what he lacks is clean money.

Kent made a lot of cash by selling flour, but this cash had no origin and could not be circulated directly.

Generally speaking, a series of operations are required to convert illegal money into legal money before it can be safely deposited into the account.

This process is very wasteful and requires professional manpower, which is more troublesome than making money.

But now there is no need for that. The Iside wildfire broke out and the city of Sigoff was in chaos. The people above wanted to resolve the matter quickly as a political achievement.

Solving problems requires money.

The insurance company has rejected all claims on the grounds that the scale of the disaster was too large. The city hall has to figure out where the money will come from.

As for federal funding, the guys in Congress are still haggling over it and there is no sign of funding in sight.

At this time, it is the turn of the great philanthropist to take peaceful action.

After a night of negotiations, led by Bai Lao K's backers and with everyone communicating, Bai Lao K's new boss became a great philanthropist who returned home this morning.

The large amount of black money hoarded by Bai Lao K was transformed into donations raised for charity dinners.

Bai Lao K paid the money and got the land; Wu Chang got the reputation; the City Hall had the money and was able to solve the problem.

Three birds with one stone.

Miles paused and said, "Although we have obtained the land, we still need to give benefits to those people if we want to use it. They didn't expect the fire to be so big. We made so much money, so they want a bigger share."

Wu Chang said indifferently: "Let the negotiation master talk to them. My bottom line is to buy their land at the original price. The profit of ordinary land is 30% and 70%, but I want 70%."

"Whoever wants 30% is a beggar on his knees."

Miles's face looked a little ugly. "I'm afraid this is not easy to discuss."

Wu Chang said, "You can tell them that as long as they agree to my way of dividing the money and give me a seat as a councillor, Bai Lao K can take care of the firefighting as well."

Miles quickly persuaded, "Boss, even though we have a lot of people, putting out a fire doesn't just rely on numbers, we need professional firefighting equipment."

"The fire department in Sigoff City is completely rotten. If we go to another city to hire private firefighters, we won't be able to afford them even if we triple our flour business."

Wu Chang waved his hand and said, "Just do as I say. I'll figure out how to put out the fire."

His body's energy has recovered to 115. With the help of mine magic, he can call the wind and rain, and move the water vapor from the dock to Mount Iside. It is difficult to put out all the forest fires in one go, but it is more than enough to put out two or three at a time.

As long as he takes action, the fire can be put out in two or three days at most.

As the person in charge of extinguishing the fire, it can be said that his piety touched the gods.

Being able to receive the protection of gods, shouldn’t one be made a saint?

In remote southern areas like Sigfu City, the society is closed and the religious atmosphere is particularly strong. At least 90% of the citizens are religious believers.

With the title of saint, it is hard to imagine that his influence in the city of Sigoff is not high.

Relying on his influence from the bottom up and Bai Lao K's military force, he will become the biggest local tyrant in Sigoff City.

By then, he will have to vomit out double what those guys have eaten.

This is what he learned at Anthem Company. The profits earned from cutting the leeks at the bottom are far less than those earned from pointing the knife at the fat pigs at the top.

What's the point of being a vegetarian? If Wu Chang wants to eat, he'll just eat meat.

Of course, he didn't tell Miles about these plans. In Miles' eyes, the boss was giving up the easy money and instead looking for trouble.

Miles didn't dare to say more and prepared to go back and throw the work directly to the negotiation master, giving the newly recruited guys a headache.

He adjusted his mood and said to Wu Chang:

"Boss, there is one more thing I need to report to you. We have found the person you are looking for."

Wu Chang was only thinking about Amber and killing pigs at the moment, so he didn't react immediately and asked, "Who?"

Miles said, "The man with the broken hand you mentioned earlier."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, "Where is he? Take me there now!"
