Terra Martial God and Merit System

"My brother mentioned it several times." Luosang Tudan's expression gradually became serious.

My brother, the Earl, said that if you come across anything related to the 'Black Snake', you must be careful.

He looked at the document and hesitated. "Sir, what on earth is this..."

"The Black Snakes are made up of the Grand Duke's most elite and trusted men." Luo Chen smiled slightly, "They come and go without a trace, are good at disguise, and have strong combat effectiveness."

"The Archduke sent three elite soldiers... they are called 'Snake Scales' to protect me. Of course - they cannot show up. So they can only hand me their ID to prove their identity."

"Ah?" Luosang Tudan was startled and said, "Could it be..."

"Yes, they are in this room now." Luo Chen nodded slightly.

"This!" Luosang Tudan couldn't help but stand up and look around.

However, the room was brightly lit and there was no place for Tibetans. Lobsang Thubten looked around but could not find any clues.

"Haha! Your Excellency is amused." Luo Chen laughed, "How could the Grand Duke's elite be found by ordinary people?"

“Ah, this… is also… is also…” Luosang Tudan sat down, but his movements were much more restrained.

When Luo Chen said this, he suddenly felt that there were people around him. He even vaguely felt that someone was staring at him.

In his heart, he believed Luo Chen's words 50%, but he felt a little uneasy.

What if what I did before offended the Grand Duke's men?

That's Grand Duke Kosice!

Even your own brother must be treated with respect!

Tallulah bit her lip to hold back her laughter.

"You don't have to be restrained, sir." Luo Chen said, "You gave me so many beauties, I want to thank you."

"I, Luo Chen, am not an ungrateful person. I will not take advantage of others' misfortunes."

"My Lord, I have a favor to ask of you." Luosangtudan gritted his teeth and said, "Can I see this document? After all..."

"Look, look as you like. Just don't take it away." Luo Chen waved his hand.

Luosang Tudan's face lit up, and he immediately looked down at his ID card. After memorizing some details, he stood up and said goodbye.

Five minutes later, he hurried in, his face becoming extremely serious.

Apparently, Losang Tudan has proved through some means that...these certificates are all genuine!

In other words, this Luo Chen is really Grand Duke Kosice's man!

His movements and expression suddenly became respectful, and he carefully sat down opposite Luo Chen, with only half of his butt sitting down.

"My Lord, please tell me whatever you want to say..."

"Hey? What about your nephew's matter?" Luo Chen looked at him and asked.

"He offended the Earl, so he deserved to die!" Luosang Tudan said as a matter of course. "But I don't know why the Earl would help those untouchables."

"To make money." Luo Chen said lightly.

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of being a noble or a city lord?"

Luo Chen answered without waiting for the other party to answer - "Of course it's to make money."

"I became the city lord just to make money. I'm going to make a lot of money."

"And...it's not for me."

"For the Grand Duke?" Losang Tudan understood.

"Yes, for the Grand Duke." Luo Chen nodded, "Sergei was unwilling to pay, and he was a stingy person, so I killed him."

"It turned out that he really had no money."

"Then I thought of a good idea. There are 300,000 people in our city..."

"If this person gives a little, wouldn't that be a huge amount of money?"

"But these untouchables are all stupid. It's not easy to get them to pay." Luo Chen shook his head slightly and sighed.

"So, I can only borrow your nephew's brain to trick these lowly people a little bit."

“So that’s it!” Luosang Tudan understood, but was still a little confused.

Luo Chen smiled, "Are you wondering why I didn't cooperate with you from the beginning? Why did I say it now?"

"Yes." Luosang Tudan nodded.

"Because in the Grand Duke's plan, rich people like you are the first to be eliminated." Luo Chen sneered.

"This!" Luosang Tudan's eyes widened, "The Grand Duke wants to get rid of me? Why?!"

"I can't guess what the Grand Duke is thinking." Luo Chen said calmly, "But since I've told you this, then the previous plan will naturally become invalid."

"This time I am formally discussing cooperation with you."

"I have already contacted the Grand Duke, and he agrees to cooperate with you. Now it depends on your opinion."

Luosang Tudan's heart moved, and he immediately stood up and said, "Just tell me what the Grand Duke wants me to do, and I will do my best!"

"I understand your idea." Luo Chen nodded slightly, "But if you want to cooperate with the Grand Duke, it's not as simple as saying it."

"At the Count's command."

Chapter 48: No Mercy

The so-called 'Grand Duke of Kosice' mentioned by Luo Chen seemed completely unreasonable.

But Losang Thubten actually understood it very well.

Because by analogy - when he gives orders to his servants, he won't explain the whole process clearly.

So Luo Chen's arrogance made him trust him even more.

"I have thought about it. What exactly does the Grand Duke want me to do?" He asked respectfully with his head down.

"If you want to make money, you have to start with the lower-class residents." Luo Chen said calmly, "I plan to gain the trust of these low-class people, and then make them pay obediently."

"The reason....is, of course, 'repairing the house'."

"Now that I am well-known, I will help them repair their houses for the cold winter. These people will surely happily give me money..."

"I estimate that with 300,000 people... we can at least collect 30 million, right?"

"Of course, some people can't donate. For example, people in slums... This gives me a headache."

Luo Chen hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll pay for the people in the slums." Luosang Tudan immediately knew that Luo Chen wanted him to express his opinion, so he said generously. "Just say that someone has already paid, and the remaining untouchables will definitely find a way to pay as well!"

"Haha, you are such a kind person. It's just 50,000 people, but you have to pay 5 million imperial coins at least." Luo Chen paused, "I won't take this money for nothing."

"I came here mainly to ask if you know any other suppliers of building materials?"

"Even though I'm trying to fool the lowly people, I still have to put on an act. It's not appropriate for me to use the title of Grand Duke..."

"Leave it to me, sir!" Luosang Tudan said immediately. He took out a piece of paper and started writing notes. "I know a lot of construction companies!"

"I don't want the really good ones." Luo Chen said, "You naturally understand the reason...

"Sir, I know this." Luosang Tudan had already written several notes. He pointed to the top one and said:

"This company contracted the mobile city project next door, with an investment of 10 million. It was prosperous when the city owner was in office, but it fell apart within a few days of his resignation."

"And this... the bridge was built with extremely minimal materials. It should have collapsed, but they were saved because of the natural disaster..."

"These companies offer cheap prices, and with my note, you can get an additional discount!"

Luo Chen listened to his explanation from the side, and every time he said something, he thought to himself - 'Is there another expert?'

Luo Chen finally collected all the notes and nodded with satisfaction.

With this, I will be able to trick these people into coming over and kill them.

This Luosang Tudan is really a good man. I will be gentler when I kill him.

Luo Chen cleared his throat and continued speaking——

"Your Excellency is very careful and prudent. Don't worry, I will tell the Grand Duke about this matter in detail."

"Because I will give you a great gift!"

“I don’t know…” Luosang Tudan asked cautiously.

"I will divide all the money collected from those untouchables into 30% and 70% respectively. You get 30% and I get 70%." Luo Chen said arrogantly, "What do you think?"

“This is not the Grand Duke…” Luosang Tudan hesitated to speak.

"The Grand Duke doesn't know how much each person has paid. Can't I just ask everyone to pay a little more? Since you are helping me, it should be a win-win situation for us!" Luo Chen said with a smile.

"I'm just going to trouble you. I'm going to stir up the emotions of the untouchables in the next few days so that I can cheat them out of more money. So you'd better close your house and ignore what's happening outside."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Luosang Tudan said "Okay" three times in a row. The more he looked at Luo Chen, the more he felt that he was a high-quality young man who spoke well and was handsome.

This kind of person will definitely rise to great heights in the future!

You have to find a way to hold on to this thigh!

Looking at the two beautiful girls beside Luo Chen, Luosang Tudan suddenly had an idea——

"I wonder if the Earl is currently married..."

"Not yet." Luo Chen replied.

"Oh." Luosang Tudan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that these two were just mistresses for fun, not a proper match.

In that case, this is my chance.

"My Lord Earl, I have a daughter. She is about the same age as you this year..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he was trying to be a matchmaker.

Tallulah's heart moved, and she tilted her head to glance at Luo Chen, only to see him smile slightly and answer -

"Such a beauty, I am naturally interested, why don't you let me admire her?"

"Then please wait for a moment, Your Excellency the Count." Luosangtudan said goodbye and left.

Tallulah turned her head and looked at Luo Chen again, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? You'll know when you see it." Luo Chen replied calmly, "Don't always make a fuss. You're not Tallulah at all."

"Would you like to listen to what you are saying..."

"Look at Surtel, how normal he is."

“That’s her eating dessert…”

While the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Then the door of the reception room opened, and Luo Chen heard a complaint -

"Father, you have to let me finish trying on that Victorian dress. I spent three hundred thousand on it..."

When I looked up, I saw a gorgeously dressed girl standing at the door.

She was wearing a dark-colored long dress, the surface of which was covered with layers of intricate lace, each layer carefully sewn with gold thread. On her arms was a white mink cape inlaid with several exquisite gems, each of which sparkled with a unique brilliance.

To be honest, as soon as she appeared, Luo Chen felt that the brilliance of the jewels was about to blind his eyes.

"Irina! This is the Earl, don't be rude!" Luosang Tudan shouted, then turned to look at Luo Chen and said with an apologetic smile, "My Lord Earl, this is my daughter."

Luo Chen had a smile on his face and started to speak in a smooth manner.

He stood up and walked a few words, then spoke -

"Ah! Such a beautiful girl..."

A few words mixed with "Youth Pain Literature" made the girl dizzy. Then Luo Chen gently lifted her finger and kissed it.

In his spare time, he used the 'Mind Reading Method' to take a look.

I found out that this guy is just like her father, with a black heart. I don't know how much merit I can get by killing him.

"If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door..." Luo Chen sighed in his heart, and then continued to say sweet words.
