Terra Martial God and Merit System

"What did you say?!"

........

Longmen Slums

An ordinary-looking old man sat at the simple scale pill stall.

The scale ball in front of him gave off a little heat, but his mind didn't seem to be focused on it.

"Mr. Lin." A man in black appeared, pulled open the stool opposite him and sat down.

"Things." Lin Gerui had no intention of chatting with him, but just raised his hand slightly.

"Minister Lin's letter has already been delivered." The man in black was a little puzzled. "Don't you know?"

"What... do you mean?" Lin Gerui paused.

"Mr. Lin, your wife collected it for you," the man in black continued, "didn't she tell you?"

"...." Lin Gerui didn't say anything. He glanced at Lin Wan in front of him, as if trying to ease the embarrassment. "I know."

"That's good." The man in black breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, Minister Lin asked me to come here to thank you. And this pack of tea... is a specialty of our Ursus."

An oil-paper package was put down. "She said it must be delivered in person."

"This unfilial daughter..." Lin Gerui snorted coldly and handed over the letter he had written. "You'd better leave tonight."

"The team is ready. We will leave soon." The man in black put away the letter and said, "Anyway - thank you for your help."

"You know why I am here, why." Lin Gerui said, "This is the last time you will appear in Longmen. If you come again in the future... even if it is her... it won't work."

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." The Reunion member stood up, "We will definitely come again."

"You have no idea what we have given to this city." Lin Gerui frowned, "Do you really think this is your backyard? You can come as you please? You can leave as you please?"

"As long as there are slums in this city, we will come. This is not a promise...it is a matter of principle," the other party replied.

"Are you all so arrogant?" Lin Gerui's words were a little cold.

"If speaking the truth is considered arrogant, then Minister Lin should be more arrogant than me."

"I have a good education." Lin Gerui stared at him.

Lin Gerui doesn't like the organization called 'Terra United'.

Although he read all of his daughter's letters without missing a single one, he really didn't like Terra Union.

Especially the so-called leader——Luo Chen.

How did a man like Luo Chen, who was so naive and self-righteous, achieve such incredible victories? How could a guy like him who had no idea of ​​the ways of the world succeed in the hopeless career of "rebel". Apart from his "honesty", Lin Gerui could not see any other merits of Luo Chen that were worth following.

This was hard for Lin Gerui to accept, especially when he thought about how his daughter was deeply influenced by him.

"Mr. Lin, as the former ruler of the slums, you should know the nature of the gangs." The man in black looked at him coldly, "Don't you think that you have done a good deed by establishing the so-called order in the slums?"

"This is a trash can, no matter how you dress it up. It's used to hold trash. And this trash is produced by this city."

"You *Longmen swear words* don't understand Longmen at all!" Lin Gerui was already a little emotional. Such a young man mocked him like this, even though he was very self-disciplined, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"I don't understand Longmen, but I understand the slums." The man in black pulled down his mask, showing the hideous scars on his face, "I was born in the slums."

"This scar was caused by a bastard kicking me in the street. He kicked me just for fun, then patted me on the butt and left. No one cared whether I lived or died."

"Mr. Lin, do you feel that there is a difference between the slums in Ursus and the slums in Longmen? Or are they both slums, but one is more advanced than the other?"

“If it’s really more advanced, why is it called the ghetto?”

"Come on, this place shouldn't exist."

"They are all birds of a feather."

"I swore a vow when I was rescued from hell. I would eliminate all the slums in the world. I would save myself who was once tortured but unable to resist." The man in black pulled up his mask, his eyes firmer than one could imagine.

"For this goal, I don't mind dying."

"Mr. Lin, I hope we won't be enemies next time we meet."

The man in black left. But the words were thrown down, even repeated, circling.

Lin Gerui held the crutch in his hand, and veins on his hands bulged.

"How do you know....how much I have paid for these lights?!"

He gritted his teeth, "You can't possibly understand..."

He sat there until the scales in front of him were completely cold. The stall owner came over to clean up the dishes. Lin Gerui suddenly looked up and asked, "How much is the protection fee now?"

"Old man, why are you asking this?" The stall owner frowned at him. "It's late now, go home early."

"Speak." Lin Gerui took out a banknote from his pocket.

"..." The stall owner took the money away without leaving a trace, "Not much, only 30% profit."

Lin Gerui felt dizzy.

He originally stipulated only 10%.

Thirty percent?! How dare these bastards accept it?!

Has my reputation become so weak?

"You should know the nature of the gang." The words of the man in black rang in my ears.

Lin Gerui's mind was clear.

Yes, that's what gangs are like.

I am old, and the original heir has passed away. So the people below me will definitely have some thoughts.

Although I set my own rules, this is a gang.

They cannot become police officers. Even if they maintain order, they are gangsters in essence.

He is an expert at extortion and blackmail... He never thinks of living a peaceful and stable life with his own hard-working hands.

He's already in the gangs. How can he work honestly?

Trying to restrain gang members through rules....this is ridiculous.

The slums in Longmen are just a garbage can. No matter how well it is decorated, it is still a garbage can that harbors filth and dirt.

If this is true, then what is the purpose of my life?

Just to change the trash bag for this trash can and spray some perfume?

No! This guy is lying to me...How could he...

After all, he was an old man who had been here since Longmen was first established, so Lin Gerui quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his previous calm demeanor.

"Old man, it's time for you to go." Seeing that the man was experiencing extreme joy and sorrow and looked confused, the stall owner was worried that he would suddenly die at his stall, so he hurriedly said.

"The gang members will come out at night, and it won't be safe at all!"

"Yeah..." Lin Gerui stood up, "I should go home."

"It's good to go home... It's good to go home..."

He thought of his wife and the letter from his daughter, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Lin Gerui put the tea leaves on the table in his arms, "Young people... the future belongs to the young? I don't think so..."

Chapter 278: Soha is a Mental Illness

The war in Ursus is over for the time being.

But as some say – war is the continuation of politics.

Victory or defeat is sometimes just the beginning, and the impact of a war will continue for a long, long time...

Especially since the war in Ursus had already attracted worldwide attention.

Casimir.

Mauna looked up at the sky.

I'm not appreciating the weather, it's gloomy today. It's not pretty at all.

He was looking at something else.

"Fuck you terrorists!!!" With a roar, a figure jumped down from a high place.

"Plop!"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, and a dead body was found not far away.

Mauna showed no expression.

On his way home from get off work, he encountered several gamblers who had jumped to their deaths.

The Great Knight Territory is very lively today.

This is not surprising. After all, as a city with extremely developed commerce in the world, coupled with the knight competitions that can be seen everywhere, the gambler mentality of the city's residents is very serious.

In the Ursus Civil War, a war without "secret operations", many people put all their belongings on the line.

result?

This is the result.

In addition, all the media that had been clamoring have shut up.

Some of them were smart and started to change the subject, as if they had forgotten everything that had happened before.

But facts are facts, and gamblers who jump off buildings and die are proving their ridiculousness all the time.

A bunch of clowns!

Maenna passed by the grocery store where she had placed her bet.

The place was closed and looked desolate. There were curse words written on the door. Obviously, those who lost money put some of the blame on the owner.

Therefore, Mainna could not change the bet he had placed.

But to be honest, money is not important to him.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart - a feeling he had not experienced for a long time....

On this short journey home, Mahenna seemed to have returned to the time when he had become a ranger.

However, when he walked into his own manor, this emotion disappeared instantly.

Several uninvited guests stood in their home and confronted the two children.

"uncle...."

Maenna stopped them behind her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Mr. Manna." The leading man in black was carrying a silver briefcase. "Hello."

"I just wanted to ask you one thing..."

"Did you place a bet on a handicap some time ago?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Mainna said coldly. He gestured to Margaret, who immediately understood and left to get the sword.

"No, we're just confirming it." The man in black shook his head. "The betting is over now."

“All funds have been recovered...”

"Pah!" He put down the suitcase in his hand. "Mr. Manna, here is your money."

"My...money?" Maenna narrowed her eyes slightly. The suitcase on the ground was slightly opened, and a large amount of banknotes could be vaguely seen.

"I don't care about this." His face was a little serious, perhaps because he couldn't see through these sudden "guests". What's more, this was related to his family. "You'd better leave here."

"Of course." The leading man in black nodded slightly, "The stuff has been delivered, we'll leave now."

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you."

After saying that, they turned around without any reluctance.
