Chapter 32 Wanted Order

[Breaking News! Several high-ranking officials were cheated, suspected to be the work of former imperial officials. ]

[A man hanged himself on a street lamp, and was found to be an imperial civil servant. ]

[It is reported that several enterprises and companies have gone bankrupt, and the official announcement is due to a large amount of capital outflow. ]

[Several bodies were found in the river near the royal capital, and they were identified as the helmsmen of several enterprises. ]

Yano held a newspaper in his hand and read it with relish.

There were various pages reporting various different things on it.

However, if you look closely, you will find that their internal logic seems to be vaguely connected.

All the reports have two things in common - enterprises and bankruptcy.

Or it can be condensed into one common point, that is, money.

All the reports today are related to money, without exception.

Senior officials were cheated of money,

Civil servants had to commit suicide because of being cheated and their families were in financial difficulties,

Many enterprises went bankrupt,

Entrepreneurs' bodies were found in the river.

"This is really a wonderful thing."

Yano smiled and turned the newspaper in his hand over.

This time, the news was completely different from the previous one.

[Wanted: Former Empire staff member, Yanmo Novain. ]

[Reward: 30,000 gold coins. ]

Although the various titles were different, only this one thing was reported.

Yanmo Novain was wanted.

As for why he was wanted, no report pointed it out.

"After all, this is not a good thing to hear."

"A traitor appeared and caused losses to the top leaders. This kind of thing must not be said."

"The Empire is not allowed to fail. It must be perfect and incomparable."

A hint of sarcasm appeared in Arno's eyes.

He put down the newspaper and looked at the sunlight sprinkled on the coffee.

The mixture of gold and black gave people a wonderful feeling.

It seemed to be both bright and dark at this moment.

"Ha..."

Arno turned his head and looked out the window.

People came and went, and everyone was working hard for the Empire.

They were the screws of the Empire's operation and part of the prosperity.

"What a peaceful and prosperous age."

Arno commented without malice, put a few gold coins on the table and stood up and left.

This time, he did not trick the clerk into paying for him.

You can't always get something for free, you have to pay occasionally, otherwise wouldn't that make you a gangster?

...

"I should have a lot of wealth, but I always feel that it's not enough."

On the street in the commercial district, Arno looked at the gold coins in his backpack and murmured.

Only a few million gold coins, this is a bit too little.

An ordinary person can earn so much money by working for a thousand or eight hundred years without eating or drinking.

How can this be possible? No matter how you think about it, it's too little.

Arno feels very insecure about this.

In fact, he should have more wealth.

For example, the company that he got for free obviously has more money than this.

But Arno wants this company to be useful, so he can't sell it.

Secondly, in order to prevent the Empire from finding out that the company was still related to him, Arno had already made some additional explanations to the unconditional asset transfer agreement and reserved his right to resell.

He divided the company into several parts and sold them separately. After a complicated transfer, on the surface, those who now hold some parts of the company have nothing to do with Yanmo.

In short, Arno has carried out countless complex equity restructurings in the company. It is impossible to find out that Yanmo is still the actual controller of the company through this thick transaction barrier.

Those who now hold the company's equity include homeless people, beggars, civil servants, soldiers, members of violent organizations, and aunts in small shops...

It is difficult to find traces from these seemingly unrelated people.

But because of this, the company is now just a fixed asset for Arno, and it cannot be converted into working capital at all.

So, he is still so poor.

"I have to find a way to make money."

Arno murmured.

He can't not continue to make money, because he may need money urgently later.

As he thought, Arno walked in a certain direction on the street.

At the same time, he called up the system menu and checked the task completion notification about Colt to confirm whether he had gone wrong now.

[Completed task: Colt's last fight. ]

[Task reward has been issued, please check it. ]

[Special reward: Exclusive intelligence, please go to the third box in XX alley of XX street in the commercial district to get it later. ]

Arno nodded after reading it,

It seems that the destination is not wrong.

"Next, the most important thing is the preview of the version update, right?"

"I don't know when it will come today, it seems that I can only wait."

Shaking his head, Arno no longer thought about it.

Soon,

Passing through the busy crowd, Arno came to the alley in the task record.

There was a row of boxes inside, and it seemed that there were about thirty boxes, almost filling the entire alley.

A strong stench came from inside, and almost everyone around chose to walk around here.

Therefore, the vicinity of this alley was almost in a state of no man's land.

"What does it smell like?"

Arno covered his nose, picked up a branch, walked to a box and opened the lid.

They were colorful, white and black, and all kinds of colors were so dazzling that Arnold's eyes couldn't help but dazzled for a moment.

——Underwear.

Various styles of underwear exude a stench that is disgusting to humans and dogs.

"Garbage? Why is it piled up in a place like this?"

In the presence of cleaning robots, it would be too stupid to hide information.

"No, the cleaning robot isn't here."

"In other words, these are things that don't need to be cleaned?"

Arno frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up.

He suppressed the nausea in his heart and opened the third box.

There are still messy clothes here, but they are no longer intimate clothes. It seems that the items in each box are different.

On top of these clothes is a black scroll.

"This should be it."

Arno picked up the scroll and turned around without hesitation.

He can't stay here any longer, it stinks! How can it be so smelly!

After Arnold left here,

Until nightfall, no one came here.

With the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the already quiet alley became even quieter.

Only some lights from the commercial district in the distance bring some light to the place.

rustle,

Susu...

Soon after,

There was a slight noise, and a black figure appeared in front of the pile of boxes.

The figure first looked around to make sure there was no one around, then carefully opened the third box.

Judging from this familiar appearance, it must not be the first time I have been here, and I am already familiar with the smell.

"Um?"

However, when I opened the box, there was only a pile of messy clothes inside.

"there is none left……"

"Why is it gone? I obviously asked them to put it here."

The figure rummaged through the entire box, but didn't find what he was looking for.

“It seems like the only things left here are these clothes that were given to people in the ghetto.”

"The things I'm looking for are either not there at all or have been taken away."

The figure rummaged through the box again, and after confirming that there was indeed nothing there, he turned and left.

Need to confirm.
