Chapter 372 Determining the Direction

"Who is Vanrick Fish?" Elodie had no intention of giving in.

"Really? So your god won't tell you who he is? I thought you were all-knowing and all-powerful -" Enkui's voice trailed off mid-sentence.

Looking into Angel's serious eyes, she also realized that these words were a bit too unreasonable.

"Vanrick is the boss of the fishermen, and everyone calls him Laoyu." Mare took the initiative and said, "When this city was still a simple village, the Yusi family already existed."

The firewood in the basin was filled twice more, and the flames turned from dim to bright again, and Elodie finally understood what kind of person the other party was.

"The founding family of the fishing village...could this fisherman be the descendant of the hunter family that split up in the past?" Chaoyang muttered.

This family is quite influential in the local area and can even be said to be the representative of the fishermen faction. Vanrick Fish is the head of this family, and he is now almost sixty years old. Since the development of the city, Yusi's family has jointly managed the Acropolis with the gang "Fish Gun" and the smuggling chamber "Haiti"; he was about to retreat to the second line and enjoy his old age, but the arrival of the "Black Swan" Phlogiston Company changed everything .

"The boss is firmly opposed to the company's excavation operations. If something new is really discovered here, more foreign forces will seize the land. Once the factory is established, the sea will be polluted and the fishermen will lose their livelihood. "Capital." Marley sighed, "But Fish Gun quickly sided with the company and stabbed the Fish family in the back. Van Rick's wife, three sons and daughter were all killed in a riot. "

"Are you sure it was a gangster thing?" Elodie asked.

"Who else could it be!" Enkui gritted his teeth and said, "Our people organized a protest on the street, and there was a fire in the backyard! Several thugs broke into Mr. Vanrick's house. It seemed like they were robbing, but in fact they were running. Go ahead and kill people, gangsters have done this kind of thing too many times!”

"Poor old man..." Angel sighed softly. No matter how many similar stories she had heard, it would still make her feel sad when this white-haired person sending a black-haired person happens again. "What about the execution?"

"What would you do if someone killed your whole family? The only thing he can do is revenge! Not only the revenge of one person, but also the revenge of all those who have a blood feud with the company."

"The locals are openly fighting against the company. I don't know how long the Governor can endure it..."

Elodie and Chaoyang both remembered what Xiao Keer said.

Therefore, when Vanrik Fish was caught by the company, he most likely had the title of resistance organizer. Faced with this thorn, Phlogiston Company really has no other choice.

Killing in public is the best way to establish authority.

"Why are you so desperate to save him?"

"I just want to save it, can't I? If Mr. Van Rieke is executed, the Acropolis will really fall into the hands of these murderers and smugglers..."

The angel shook his head, "The thought of saving the city you live in will indeed play a part, but it will not make you have such a strong wish. The accuracy of the wish will also affect the effect, so I want to hear your real reasons. "

Enkui snorted displeasedly, "It's not as complicated as you think, little girl. I am an outsider, and Vanrick accepted me, do you still need me to continue talking?"

outsiders...

Now she understood. The people in the Old World who were willing to come to this remote place were either criminals, vagrants, or people who had been persecuted and had nowhere to go. In short, no one had a clean background. Vanrik Fish's willingness to accept her is equivalent to giving her a new way of life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lifesaver.

"I understand your request." Elodie pondered for a moment, "Your wish is quite special, so you need to draft a special contract."

"What...mean?" Enkui was stunned.

"It means that the Lord of Paradise can fulfill this wish for you...as long as you agree to pay the corresponding wish power."

"You, you are kidding me, aren't you!" she stammered, "You want to exchange money for Mr. Vanrick? Don't be stupid, that will only make the company regard you as an enemy. No matter how rich you are, It’s just someone else’s bag!”

"Then are you willing to give it a try?" Elodie asked calmly.

"I……"

"What are you still hesitating about? Sister!" Ma Lei helped, "It's rare for a god to take action. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"That's right! All you have to do is sign a contract, and at worst it will be ineffective!"

"If you don't sign, can I sign it?"

Others also started shouting.

"No," the angel waved his hand, "This contract must be signed with her."

"I'll just sign it!" Enkui couldn't help shouting, "But you have to remember, if you are a liar, I will definitely make you look good!"

…

Elodie returned to Balif's hotel, where Chaoyang had already made black tea and was waiting for her.

"I guess you want to use the privilege of this body to stop the company's execution, right?" She said eagerly as soon as they met, "It's not impossible to do this, but there is Governor Hyperman above Barif. , your abnormal behavior may immediately arouse his suspicion. Our current strength is not able to compete with the company head-on."

"Indeed, but when you signed the contract with them, I suddenly thought of one thing... Resk mentioned that the more chaotic a place is, the more twisted evil deeds there are, the easier it is to attract the attention of the Hidden Mist Messenger." Chaoyang poured her a cup of tea, "Could it be that it was because of the perverse actions of the Phlogiston Company that the Acropolis was eventually swallowed by the fog?"

Although he didn't know what the evil god was thinking behind the scenes and why he and Elodie were trapped here, the eight-day time limit was real. After today, everyone's lives will only last seven days. If the rule of the Phlogiston Company can be overthrown before the fog appears, the Hidden Mist Messenger should not blow the horn.

And if the Acropolis can survive, they will have more time to find out the purpose of the evil god. Similarly, overthrowing the company can also bring a lot of willpower to the Paradise Church and strengthen the power of the two. From any angle, destroying the company is a very profitable choice.

After telling Elodie his idea, the latter thought about it and felt that there was no problem. Since he didn't plan to continue playing as Barif, he needed to maximize his "exit". Under this premise, it doesn't matter much even if Haiboman doubts Barif.

"Do you have an idea?"

"Yes." Chaoyang nodded, "The company's power seems huge, but in fact they are outsiders. The company's security team is small, but it can deter the gangs, and after being bribed, the gangs can make up for the company's "local defects" and take over the entire city. There is no need to mention the smugglers, they must prefer corporate groups that can bring greater benefits. This is like an onion wrapped in layers. It is difficult to eat it in one bite, but it is not so difficult to tear it apart. So we have to separate them and solve them one by one."

"The outermost onion is the 'fish gun', the most powerful one in the gang. And the gang rats have another characteristic, that is, they are particularly sensitive to changes in power and money." Chaoyang smiled, "So it only takes a small amount of willpower to attack this group of people."
