“The gambling contract…Well, this is indeed a good idea. If Miss Vivian is really willing, then we have nothing to say. We will absolutely trust Miss Vivian and be willing to donate a small part of our strength to the refugees outside the city. ”
“Really…Really?”
“As long as I sign a contract with everyone… You can just bet on the contract?” Vivian, who was born in the countryside, did not even know what a gambling contract was.
She only saw that after Sima’s call, the nobles actually relented.
As Vivian’s ‘good friend’, Sima quickly grabbed the little girl and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear,”
“Are you crazy, Vivian? How dare you sign a gambling contract with them!? Do you know what that is?!”
“What, what is it?” Vivian whispered.
“Aiya! It was very complicated. In short, it was a bet between you and the nobles. They were betting on whether you could complete a certain amount of reconstruction work within a specified time.
If you achieve it, it means that they have lost the bet. They will increase the amount of money donated to you unconditionally. However, if you don’t achieve it, it means that you have lost the bet…’
“The consequences will be very serious! They will make you pay several times the amount they donated to you! It was enough to make you fall into debt and go bankrupt!
Sima explained to Vivian dutifully. He did not lie at all, but he did not mention the consequences.
For example, according to the laws of Fire Code City, if the amount of debt was too large and unable to be repaid, then the party in debt would be deprived of his personal freedom and be at the mercy of the debt holder.
This was the law approved by the Fire God when the city was first built. No one could violate it.
Of course, that was unless the Fire God was no longer around.
‘ No, Vivian, you don’t understand this. The risk is too great. I know you’re kind-hearted, and many of the refugees outside the city are from your village, but… But you can’t throw yourself into it for them! ”
Sima pretended to stop them, but in fact, he secretly mentioned that Vivian was from the same village as them.
As expected, the little girl shook her head.
“You…!” He couldn’t help but admire Sima, or rather, Sima was borrowing the acting skills of a person like Sima.
It was really like the kind of helpless anger after being unable to persuade.
The voices of the nobles below the stage echoed.
“Miss Sima, if Vivian really has the ability, we might as well say that we’ve suffered a huge loss in this bet. Or is it that the confidence that Miss Vivian mentioned is just because of a contract?”
Seeing that Sima was going to confront the nobles for her, Vivian interrupted him.
The little girl turned around and swept her gaze across the nobles below the stage.
“There’s no need to say anymore.”
If this is the only way for everyone to trust me and be willing to hand over the funds for the reconstruction..
He took a deep breath.
Vivian closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were filled with determination.
” Then I’m also willing. Sign this gambling contract!”
After the little girl said this.
The nobles below the stage laughed.
Sima, who was standing behind the little girl and out of Vivian’s sight, smiled.
Of course, there was another person who had also attended tonight’s banquet. He was a very young baron and noble. He also smiled.
Teddy recalled the secret conversation they had on the rooftop last night under the blazing night sky of Fire Code City.
It was really…
It couldn’t be said to be completely similar to what that big brother had expected. It could only be said to be exactly the same!
Teddy would like to call it…
Game in game in game!
Now, it was time for the last protagonist to take the stage.
Speaking of which, could Yang really find the kidnapped heiress?
Pah!
He hadn’t seen his big brother for a day, and his bad habit of being a ” supporting character ” had acted up again.
At this time, the unconventional way of saying it should be…
Even if the kidnappers were the rumored largest underground treasure stealing group, even if half of the city’s city guards were dispatched, they still could not find them.
But…
Ha, to Big Brother, it should be just a small matter, easy, right? No, maybe Big Brother had already rescued that Young Miss and was still striking while the iron was hot and was in love! Now, all he needed to do was…
Teddy blinked.
They were looking forward to the banquet that had just begun..
