Chapter 67 67. Good Things Will Always Happen to Those Who Are Good at Patience
It was already evening when they returned to Fairhaven by carriage, but what awaited Mo Cheng was not a hot dinner.
"We didn't call these things, please leave!"
At the entrance of the Albert House, Justin and his engineering team did not finish the work directly in the evening. Instead, they gathered at the entrance to confront a group of people.
"But we are clearly entrusted to send the things here. Even the Glory Church cannot be unreasonable, right?"
"Yes, that's right, how can the Glory Church be unreasonable?!"
"Isn't this bullying an honest person!?"
The crowd confronting Justin erupted in noise and moved forward, causing further pressure.
Justin couldn't help but sweat beaded on his forehead. He really wanted to let the group of people in front of him go in and let the nun go on a killing spree. But after thinking about it, he still didn't get the final payment for the project he took over, and he still felt that he couldn't let these bastards go in and destroy it.
"What happened?"
Just when the scene was about to turn into chaos and cause a big melee, a calm voice stopped the tragedy that was about to happen.
"Priest Mo Cheng." Justin came forward and said, "The people from the Key of Wind Erosion want to collect [protection fees]."
"This is the most shameful slander." The leader of the group came out and said with a smile, "We are just a group of small traders doing small jobs to make ends meet."
Mo Cheng took a moment to observe the man in front of him. He had short blue hair, a tight-fitting vest and tight pants, a combination suitable for moving and making big movements. The smiling eyes did not reveal any useful information. The man naturally covered his true thoughts with his smile.
It's a very troublesome thing, whether it's the current situation or the people in the Wind Erosion Key.
"Can anyone tell me what happened just now?" Mo Cheng pressed the bridge of his nose and pointed to the colorful juice on the big iron door.
"Dear priest, let me, Gulade, answer your questions." The leading man named Gulade put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, "We received the call from Albert's House when we were setting up the stall. I came to deliver [Colorful Fruits] with orders from people, but these people took away the goods without paying for them, intending to stain the sacred light with dirt. During the dispute, I don’t know who accidentally smashed the colorful fruits on your door. .”
Justin immediately shouted: "Nonsense, this is slander!"
"Mr. Justin." Mo Cheng stopped the other party's yelling and said softly, "Leave the rest to me. Please take your people and Lilia back first."
"Priest Mo Cheng..."
"Listen to me and take your people and Lilia back."
There was a rare toughness in Mo Cheng's tone. Justin had no choice but to lead the engineering team and Lilia back to the Albert House. However, he did not go far away and hid behind the door. If there was a conflict, He immediately rushed out to rescue Priest Mo Cheng.
After everyone went back, Mo Cheng wiped his glasses and looked at the gang members who were planning to extort money.
Colorful fruit is a wild plant that is often played in children's pranks. It can grow in various colors depending on the growing area. The fruit is plump and full of water. Once it is hit, it will explode and dye people with color. Not only was the liquid difficult to clean, it also had an unpleasant smell after it dried.
Later, colored fruits were also used by gang members to collect debts. Smashing colored fruits at other people's doors was no different from throwing red paint on them.
"Mr. Goulard, right?" Mo Cheng pushed up his glasses, "I won't ask who from the Albert House ordered the colored fruits from you. Forget about the damaged colored fruits. I would like to ask how much the colored fruits you ordered cost in total?"
The store will open tomorrow, and Mo Cheng will have a lot more work tonight. He will clearly explain the meaning of the contract to the people at Albert House and sign the contract. There is also an inventory inventory to select ointments whose efficacy has changed due to storage errors.
On the first day of opening a new store, at least there should be no mistakes.
What's more important is that when he killed Naraka before, Margaret, the head of the law enforcement group, discovered his strength. If there were mass deaths in this area, and it was discovered that the person with the Key to Wind Erosion had been with Albert. There have been conflicts, so Mo Cheng may have to experience what it's like to be in Fairhaven Prison.
Spend some money to avoid disaster.
"It's great that the priest is willing to pay. It's not much, three hundred golden griffins."
"..."
Mo Cheng almost couldn't help but clenched his fists and slaughtered the group of fools in front of him. Colored fruits were dealt with in units of copper eagles individually, and in large quantities, they were settled with silver lions at most.
There were three hundred golden griffons at the opening. If many people hadn't seen the people from the Key of Wind Erosion clashing with the Albert House, these people would have become a puddle of fertilizer nourishing the land.
"Mr. Goulard, have you ever thought that God will punish you if you do this?"
Mo Cheng made a last-ditch effort. He knew that his superficial level was only on the fifth level. Any behavior that shocked this group of gang members without killing people would be regarded as cowardice.
If it were any place other than the capital, this group of people would have long been Mo Cheng's source of experience points.
"Mr. Priest!"
Goulard smiled, and suddenly a silver light flashed across, cutting off a few of Mo Cheng's hair. The sharp dagger was placed across Mo Cheng's neck, scratching his hair.
Goulard put his face very close and said in a calm voice, "When I was five years old, I was living on the streets with a dagger. God did not bless me at that time. I killed the first one when I was eight years old. Man, the gods didn't bless me at that time. Everything I have is made by myself. I don't know if you are stupid for calling me a glorious blessing, but this is the country of mages."
"Don't your gods have time to punish me themselves?"
"Do you want to punish me with your non-lethal holy light?"
Mo Cheng's eyes were calm and unperturbed. He untied the money bag from his waist and threw it on the ground. "Here are three hundred golden griffins. Take the money and leave."
That was the cost of Mo Cheng's trip to the bank to withdraw money on the way back and planned to upgrade the tools of the production line.
Goulard picked up the money bag and shouted to the men behind him: "Thank you, Priest Mo Cheng, for your gift. May the light bless you. Come and hand over all the goods you ordered!"
In an instant, the colorful fruits in everyone's hands were smashed towards the door and wall of the Albert House. Colorful juices splashed everywhere, even splashing on Mo Cheng's clothes.
Goulard held the money bag in one hand and patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder with the other, "It seems that the glory likes me more."
"Priest, thank you for your generosity. There will be a batch of colorful fruits next month, please remember to prepare the payment."
The people from the Key of Wind Erosion left in twos and threes. Their laughter could be heard across three streets, and even a few loud ones could be heard. They discussed without any concealment that they had planned to sneak into the Albert House to search for a few days. .
"Priest Mo Cheng, are you okay?"
Justin led the people out and saw the colorful Mo Cheng looking at the door of the Albert House, his head lowered as if thinking about something.
"Me? I'm fine." The smell of dried colored fruits was very unpleasant. Justin was about to ask people to clean the colored fruits on the door and walls, but Mo Cheng stopped him.
"There's no need to waste time, someone will clean it up for us."
No one was willing to take on the job of cleaning the doors and walls that had been smashed by colorful fruits. When Justin was secretly muttering whether Priest Mo Cheng was frightened by the gang members, Mo Cheng suddenly said, "Mr. Justin, I'm fine." , Don’t worry, I won’t do anything impulsive.”
Mo Cheng is a person who is good at patience. When things go wrong due to his actions, he will be patient.
This time, I endured it for three full hours!
