Chapter 70 The first person to commit the sin of greed...
The next day, the loaded carriage took away the inventory produced over several days. Mo Cheng didn't have to worry about the opening of the store. He only needed to be a good manufacturer.
Even if he wanted to worry about it, Mo Cheng had no one around him to use. Business required talent. Mo Cheng had observed the people around him and found that there was basically no one who could be considered talented in business.
The small production line at Albert House does not have fixed working hours, but emphasizes flexible working hours. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are not many people at Albert House itself.
Expansion and production expansion are matters for the future. After the current production capacity of Albert House is used to supply the law enforcement team, it may be a bit difficult to meet the demand of the newly opened stores.
When Justin's engineers started working, Gulard and the people with the Key of Wind Erosion came to the door of Albert's House. Without saying a word, they quietly cleaned up the traces left by the colored fruit yesterday.
The traces of the colored fruit are difficult to remove, and even after a night of brewing, the smell is even more overwhelming.
It’s not that those who don’t have the Key of Wind Erosion can’t stand it and want to leave, but Gulard still has a lot of prestige as a leader. At least no one dares to stop while Gulard is still cleaning up.
Mo Cheng asked Justin's engineering team to continue working, and ignored the people at the door. He went straight into the church and waited.
The church is the only building in Albert House that has not been built yet, the other being the attached church cemetery.
Mo Cheng did not have much faith in Guanghui, so he naturally put aside the church that required more money to decorate. Mo Cheng said that he did not have enough funds at the moment, and he would ask a master to design it after the factory was established.
Cleaning the colored fruit was a tiring job, and the people of the Wind Erosion Key paid the price of several hours of cleaning work for their boring fun the day before. After the cleaning, Gulard walked into the church with a sweaty smell mixed with the strange and unpleasant smell of the colored fruit.
Mo Cheng sat on a bench with his back to the church door, an open Bible on his knees. Now he is a clergyman, and for this identity he still has to do some necessary work.
For example, reading the "Glorious Book", or occasionally comparing the contents of the "Bible" with the "Glorious Book" as a pastime.
"Coming?"
There was no need to look back. Mo Cheng threw the paper in his hand that he used as a bookmark backwards. The paper, the size of a book page, slowly floated towards Gurad . "Now that the work outside is done, just sign this."
When Gulard took the paper and looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened. He held the paper tightly with both hands and almost tore it.
This is a slave contract. Mo Cheng specially went to the black market to buy it in disguise when he went out last night.
A slave contract, as the name suggests, means that one party to the contract controls everything about the other party. This should not be signed equally, but should be directly and forcefully branded.
But Mo Cheng didn't have enough money to buy the type of contract that forced him to be branded. He could only buy some DIY versions made by some mage students, which were slave contracts that required the signatures of both parties.
"If my offense yesterday offended you, I accept the punishment and make amends."
Gullard's words were very gentle, a completely different attitude from yesterday. He also tactfully stated that he would not sign this thing.
More than half a day had passed since Gulard was overwhelmed by fear and almost collapsed in despair. Mo Cheng could guess that Gulard must have built up countless psychological defenses before his arrival.
For example, Mo Cheng just wanted to scare him and make him mend his ways. After all, the Church of Light has a very good reputation in many places.
For example, Mo Cheng did not kill him because he was concerned about the law enforcement team. People from the Church of Light killed people in the capital of the Kingdom of Mages. This would undoubtedly cause a huge dispute and turn it into a diplomatic incident.
What Mo Cheng needs to do now is to completely destroy the psychological defenses built up by Gulard, leaving him no chance at all.
"Don't waste time talking nonsense. Sign it, and have everyone in your gang sign it."
Mo Cheng stood up and faced Gurad. "There is no need to think about how to refuse or get away, because when you act smart in front of me, this fate is doomed."
Fate? Why the hell don't you sign the fate of being a slave?
He cursed Mo Cheng madly in his heart. The slave contract was only slightly better than the devil's contract that demanded the soul. Once signed, the life and death of the person would be completely controlled by the master.
For a moment, Guraid wanted to throw away the slave contract in his hand and leave here with the men of the Wind Erosion Key. At worst, he would not come to this area to collect fees in the future. Albert's House is located between the [Civilian Area] and the [Sinking Area], also known as the [Slum Area], and it is an area where you can't squeeze out much money.
But Gulard didn't, or he didn't dare. The fear that was born in the deepest part of his heart last night has been haunting him. Once he closes his eyes, his wife and children will die tragically like Bodi, and the death is so tragic that it can't even be described in words, which makes him dare not ask anyone for help.
Or, who could the leader of a small gang turn to to tell others that the priest of Albert House was a devil?
Gulard completely understood what Mo Cheng said. God did not give him any help when he was struggling to survive, but God was able to take away the source of all his happiness when he was enjoying happiness and contentment.
"I……"
He seemed to want to argue, or even bargain, but Mo Cheng did not give him more patience. "Gulard, you should have died last night, your body cut into pieces, and your wife and children would have suffered endless humiliation and oppression after your death."
The round lens reflected a cold light. "It was I who gave you a second life, it was I who forgave your sins, and it was I who pardoned the sins of your family."
The invisible pressure weighed heavily on Gulard's shoulders. The air was as heavy as iron, making it difficult to breathe. His spine was even bent by the substantial pressure.
Mo Cheng approached step by step, and each step was like a sledgehammer hitting Gulade's heart deeply. The voice that came to his ears was no longer a human voice, but the roar of some beast, or the cry of a devil. The door of the church blocked the sunlight, and the shadow awakened Gulade's deep fear from yesterday.
"You are still not satisfied, Guraid , you have committed the sin of greed!"
When you can kill a person but spare his life, it is called grace. Such a favor naturally requires the other party to turn into a pious lamb in return.
Gulard could no longer bear the double pressure of physical and mental stress, and fell to the ground with bent knees. He cut his finger with a dagger, leaving fingerprints on the contract, and prostrated himself on the ground, holding the contract in his hands and presenting it to Mo Cheng.
"Please forgive my sins, my Lord!"
