It was even said that they did not hesitate to cut corners and cut down on materials. They did not think about the future at all. They just needed to build the house. Even if it collapsed in less than half a year, what did that have to do with them?
What they were doing was completing a mission and taking advantage of the opportunity to earn money.
What Vivian wanted to do was to give the refugees who had no one to rely on after the disaster, a… At home.
For this reason, she was willing to take such a huge risk to firmly control this dominance in her hands.
[How about this, Vivian? Let me do it. I guarantee that these stinky nobles won’t dare to let out a fart. Why would they sign a stupid contract? They’ll just obediently send the money to you!)
In the mental space, the second personality changed the way he spoke and sharpened his scythe at the nobles.
“No, the other me, don’t always think of using violence to solve problems. ”
[Why?! We’ve even seen the highest-ranking Fire God, yet we still need to be bullied by the nobles under the Fire God?)
[Believe me, Vivian, the Fire God won’t mind us using violence. After all, this is for the good of the Fire Code City!] It was also to help Lord Fire God rectify the atmosphere!
“No!” Vivian raised her voice to her other self.
Of course, his tone softened very quickly.
“The other me, this isn’t a problem with the Fire God. It’s just that if we encounter difficulties and want to use violence to solve them, this time, our intentions are indeed good, but what about next time? What about the next time?”
“If I really develop this habit, the further I go, the more I’m afraid I’ll… The more you don’t recognize yourself.”
After Vivian finished speaking, the second personality fell silent.
In the mental space, the little girl who looked exactly the same as in reality sat on a high-back chair with her legs crossed and sighed.
She was holding a black scythe in her hand, but with a twist of her hand, the shadow disappeared.
Perhaps it was to cheer him up, but he felt that the atmosphere was not too good, so he said some encouraging words.
The second personality heard the little girl’s spiritual message again.
“F-Don’t worry, my other self! Think on the bright side!”
“We have signed this bet agreement with the nobles. As long as we successfully complete it, not only will there be no harm, but it will also be equivalent to an additional 300,000 gold coins! It could help everyone return to normal life faster!
“Or should I say, the other me, even you…Don’t you believe that I can complete
Vivian’s pitiful tone made the second personality speechless. The thing she couldn’t stand the most was this little girl.
[Humph, do whatever you want!]
[But Vivian, I have a bottom line that will not change. As long as they dare to hurt you physically, then…]
The second personality did not finish his sentence and stopped talking in a fit of pique.
“Thank you, my other self.”
“It’s also because of you, the Fire God, and Xiao Hei! That’s why I, that’s why I dare to make such a big bet.”
Under Vivian’s capricious tone, an almost undetectable ” hmph ” came from the spiritual space.
They seemed to have communicated a lot mentally.
But in reality, it had little effect on the time in reality.
He comforted the second personality.
Vivian and the fat noble representative signed each other’s names.
In the end, they would end the contract with the words ” Fire God above ” to make the contract effective. This implied that they would be supervised by the Fire God. This was not only a tradition in Fire Code City, but also in the entire Flame Domain.
Both parties had achieved their respective goals. The previously tense atmosphere at the banquet immediately relaxed a lot.
After the official business was done, it was time to socialize and get closer to their relationship.
Vivian had wanted to leave immediately. She was still worried about Liz’s safety, but it seemed that no business could just stand up and leave after the discussion at the dinner table.
“Vivian, it’s very rude and disrespectful of you to do this. If you leave a bad impression on everyone, it will be very troublesome in the future. Since you’ve already come this far, you don’t need to worry about the rest.
Sima acted as if he was a friend and was teaching Vivian about the etiquette of nobles.
“But, but, Liz and the Earl…” The little girl hesitated.
“Don’t worry, Vivian! As long as the news of our successful donation is released, I believe that those kidnappers will soon give up and return Miss Liz. So what you should do now is to bring tonight’s banquet to a successful end!
As Sima spoke, he pulled the hesitant Vivian up and walked towards the middle of the nobles without giving the little girl a chance to refuse.
“Look, everyone is waiting for you. Go over and have a chat. This will also be beneficial for your future reconstruction work. You can accumulate a lot of connections!
He said he wanted to chat.
But in reality, it was pure enjoyment. In the midst of a bunch of meaningless nonsense, they kept toasting and drinking.
Vivian, who was dragged over by Sima Sima, was the main character of this evening party. Naturally, she could not escape the fate of being toasted.
At first, Sima pretended to help Vivian drink, but after a few glasses, he started coughing and retching, as if he could not drink anymore.
This made Vivian’s heart ache. She quickly stopped Sima Sima from drinking any more.. But what about the remaining wine that Sima had contracted for Vivian?
