Murphy is by no means a good person, but he will never take this truth lightly.
But Helena Alves casually discarded credit.
That night, the cousin said that he would give corresponding credit through a transaction, that is, to ask him to help complete the commission.
But when he left, this cousin secretly trampled on his relatives behind his back.
How could Murphy not be angry about this?
(This is a 5000-word chapter. It will be easier to read if you want to post chapters that need to be connected in the future.)
Chapter 117.5 Small Fire
Murphy felt his cheeks were burning, but it was okay. At this moment, a cool breeze blew, calming his breathing a little.
Indeed, for now, apart from being Old Jed's disciple and the successor of the organization, he is nothing.
He has never demonstrated his strength, nor achieved anything. He is just an ordinary person... no, just a dirty rat.
So what it all comes down to is this: the woman looked down on him, thought he was insignificant, didn't think she needed to earn his trust, and thought that no matter what she did, he would have to do the same.
Ha, that’s great, she is worthy of being the mistress of the slums and the born person in power.
Looking at the brightly lit mansion not far away, Murphy's mouth curled up.
-------------------------------------
Helena Alvis opened her sleepy light red eyes, and her slightly curly light red hair swayed slightly.
The thin right ear twitched sensitively, picking up the faint noise.
“—It’s so noisy.”
Carnegie, the tall and thin old man who was his confidant, lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Excuse me, did you hear that? There seems to be a small fire."
"Xiaohuo?" Helena raised her eyebrows and asked subconsciously.
I don’t know if it’s because I just woke up and was a little relaxed, but the voice was softer and sweeter than ever.
However, coming to this, she seemed to have indeed heard the voice that came into her ears, which should be saying...water or something.
It sounded like someone was yelling at someone else, and the tone was very bad.
Carnegie lowered his head to Helena and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's that person. If you calculate the time, he should be back today."
But Helena didn't seem interested at all. She picked up the long pipe and put it in her mouth. Her soft lips curved slightly as she said, "How many people are going to die this time?"
"This time" refers to the cooperation between Helena and Murphy - Helena helps Murphy to cause chaos in the royal capital, and Murphy helps Helena take the position of the real lord of the slums.
And what Helena said just now was not in the soft and sweet voice she used just now, but in a slightly sharp voice when giving orders to others.
Carnegie, of course, had noticed this. After a quick mental calculation, he replied more seriously, "...about 60, no... about 70 percent. I'll die forever at the hands of those knights."
"It's worth it."
Helena replied softly, this was an acceptable outcome for her.
In particular, since this was the answer given by Carnegie, a pessimist, the ratio of "70%" is definitely not wrong.
Sometimes in reports, subordinates will give exaggerated figures to please themselves.
But for Helena, if it was Carnegie who came to report, then there was nothing to worry about.
She tilted her head and nodded slightly.
This action made her look a little playful, that is, although her answer just now sounded a little dry, her attitude was not defensive.
Perhaps it was because, even including this confidant who had followed her for many years, there were only two people in the bedroom.
"But that man is the patriarch of the Kaliba family after all. Although he is an old friend of yours and has left the family, he is definitely not someone who would choose to suffer in silence."
"Don't take it lightly, Lady Helena."
"I understand." Helena nodded with a wry smile. Perhaps the only person who could speak to her like this was Carnegie, her confidant.
Today's slums are far from being as solid as a rock, and can even be described as a pile of loose sand.
In addition to Helena and the Wood siblings, there are many other bosses, and many rebels who are dissatisfied with the bosses' rule have formed their own forces and govern an area.
In addition, some enemies of the kingdom who want to cause trouble in the capital are hiding here, secretly looking for opportunities to disrupt peace and order.
For Helena, who wants to rule the entire slum, use it as a cornerstone for development, and ultimately fulfill her ideals, these are pests that need to be eliminated.
But she can't do it alone. Although she is the largest force in the slums, it is difficult for her to completely rule here.
It would be best if the organization behind the second most powerful brother and sister, whose headquarters is located in Lars on the border, could disappear - this would mean that Helena would have no worries and could attack them at will.
But if that's not possible, then we can only find a way to unite the brother and sister to eliminate the other larger forces, and then settle accounts with each other separately.
Of course, it won’t be used this time.
Because the heir of that organization made a deal with her.
Murphy will help her take the position of slum lord, and she needs to help Murphy disturb the water in the royal capital.
Of course, there is a price to pay for doing this, which means that many of her private soldiers may die.
After all, the Royal Capital Knights have never been lenient towards these scum from the slums.
It would be fine if they just stayed in the slums and acted arrogantly. At that time, the two sides did not interfere with each other. The Royal Capital Knights would not be so idle as to come here specifically to conflict with them.
But if they dare to reach out to the Royal Capital, then the Knights of the Royal Capital will surely teach them what despair is.
But it doesn't matter to Helena. As long as she can achieve her goal, it doesn't matter how many of her men die.
Anyway, once we take over the entire slum, the private soldiers will naturally be replenished slowly.
Saying that the Alvis family is cold-blooded and greedy is not a groundless accusation, but an indisputable fact.
As for Murphy's purpose of disturbing the water in the royal capital, Helena was completely uninterested, because it was just a side effect.
The most important thing is the struggle between the Earl and His Majesty the King.
To be honest, Helena didn't really want to get involved in this mess, so she refused the Count's request for help.
However, this struggle will undoubtedly have consequences for the slums.
No matter who wins, whether it is the Earl or His Majesty the King, there will definitely be people who want to take this opportunity to intervene in the slums.
Furthermore, the people in the royal capital might take advantage of this opportunity to increase their influence on the slums.
Therefore, in order to have enough confidence to avoid showing weakness when the royal capital interferes with this side.
Helena must take control of most of the slums before that, and then speed up the process of tightening internal control.
Only in this way can we be absolutely sure.
At least, that's how Helena judged it, and this is also the effort she must make for her ideals.
Helena has always believed that her ideals are supreme, so efforts made for her ideals are indispensable.
Therefore, she made the judgment she just mentioned without any hesitation.
Therefore, even though she was indifferent to the lives of her subordinates and could abandon them at any time for her own purposes, her subordinates always obeyed her.
Of course, just judging is not enough, she must also take action.
Because of this, she had been troubled for a long time and even considered making a deal with the earl.
Fortunately, Murphy's arrival this time gave her a direction and an opportunity to completely control the slums.
It can be said that this time Helena was just sleepy, so Murphy brought her the pillow.
Just for this reason, Helena really wanted to thank the other party.
And this transaction was very profitable for her.
In order to show his sincerity, the old fox Gerrard immediately withdrew his men from the slums and arranged them in several surrounding branches on the day the transaction was completed.
Of course, Helena didn't do it without paying a price.
The reason why Gerrard was so straightforward this time was mainly because he wanted to use this incident to train his apprentice.
For this purpose, he specially asked Helena to perform a play.
Should I say this old guy is cunning, or something else?
In short, since the other party has demonstrated their credibility, we must also show something.
So after taking over the territory that Gerard had vacated, Helena immediately arranged a good show.
All this for the little guy who knows nothing.
How pitiful.
Of course, Helena was talking about Gerald.
Although it is indeed for the good of his disciples, it is not certain whether the other party can understand and accept this.
Helena noticed it the first time she saw Murphy.
The man standing in front of her and pretending to be important is Murphy. He is the type of person who can face difficulties but is also afraid of losing.
And once this type of person loses something, he will never be able to stand up again and can only keep his head down forever.
Should I just... sell that girl? It would definitely fetch a good price, and I'd get to watch that man fall into eternal depravity.
Thinking of this, Helena pursed her soft lips, revealing a smile that looked a little mean and vicious.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment and then disappeared immediately.
This is equivalent to her violating the contract and abandoning her own credit, and she will inevitably face crazy revenge from the other party.
If it was just the little guy named Murphy alone, Carnegie should be able to deal with him easily, but his master is not easy to deal with.
Although the other party's main force is not here, she really has no need to offend the other party for her own bad taste.
Otherwise, it would be okay if he just lost his position as the owner of the slum, but if it affected his ideals, it would be a big loss.
Thinking of this, Helena slowly shook her head and her ears perked up slightly.
At the same time, she rolled her light red eyes, looked at Carnegie, and said.
"Please help me meet the guests. I'll stay awake until the fire stops."
Chapter 118 Carnegie (4000 words)
Murphy's mind was constantly churning, imagining and guessing everything he had learned.
Assemble your thoughts, then let them fall apart, then reassemble them.
He repeated this just to determine which of the information he had obtained was correct and which was wrong.
Although the source of the intelligence is indeed more reliable, at this time nothing can be easily believed. We can only rely on ourselves to slowly discern the authenticity of the information.
——There is no sign that Selena has been sold for the time being. Helena Alvis lives in the mansion as usual, but the number of guards in the mansion has increased.
In the end, Murphy came to this conclusion.
Then the next thing to think about is much simpler.
How to get Selena back.
Then, how to take revenge on Helena.
That's enough to consider.
Of course, these are ultimately just ideas conceived in a brain with limited thinking ability. Rather than being plans, they are more like delusions.
To make it a reality requires effort that cannot be described in words.
Quite difficult, no doubt.
But Murphy is not someone who likes to give up, at least not now.
While it may seem silly to think too much and do nothing, it is a thousand times better than dying without even thinking.
Even if all the options you can think of are the worst, it is still a good thing as long as you can freely choose from them according to your own will.
Perhaps even Murphy couldn't stand seeing himself like this anymore, and a voice emerged in his heart.
"It's the last minute, what's there to hesitate about?"
In the dark night with only faint moonlight, Murphy sat on the roof of a brothel near Helena's mansion, her dark eyes staring at the fire in front of her.
As if responding to the voice in his heart, he said: "You know I'm just a coward, but it's not like I'll lose anything if I just think about it. No one will suffer any loss."
