“Thank you for the payment. After the appraisal, the value of that sword should be around 11,000 gold coins. The Everything House doesn’t cheat, so I’ll give you an additional piece of information.”
The young girl took the sword from the official and casually sized it up before casually throwing it behind her. The Old Dominator’s huge tentacles hanging from the cracks in the wall swept it away.
“Let’s talk about that additional piece of information first. There is an officer who has a good relationship with your wife. He is a clerk working in the city hall. His name is—”
Before the young girl could finish her sentence, the nobleman had already turned his gaze to the right. On his right stood a burly man with a handsome face. His hair was neatly combed to the back of his head, and he looked very energetic. At that moment, the slightly handsome nobleman’s face was pale, and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
“There’s only one clerk in the city hall here. You dare to touch my wife! I’ll kill you!” The nobleman was like an enraged lion, ready to kill. However, he discovered that the long sword in his hand had already been handed to the Everything House. Helpless, he could only change his method. “It doesn’t matter if I don’t have a sword. I’ll strangle you to death.”
“You can’t blame me. It was your wife who seduced me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her. I’m warning you, don’t come over—argh!”
Before the clerk could finish his words, he was viciously punched by the nobleman who had rushed in front of him. He was not willing to be outdone. He turned around and started beating up the nobleman.
During the fight, the young lady from the Everything House read the following ten pieces of information about the nobleman—it mentioned that only one of the nobleman’s children was his own. Several of his colleagues had spread nasty rumors outside, forcing the nobleman to be removed from his position. The nobleman was also in the assassin group’s pocket.
After those pieces of information appeared, the expressions of many of the officials darkened. It was normal for officials to resort to unscrupulous means to get a higher position in the officialdom. They could even hire assassins to ensure their promotion; some of them did exactly that. Initially, they thought they had done things in secret and would never be exposed. It seemed like the young maid had revealed their secrets.
That mysterious young girl was clearly not someone from the fortress city. How did she know what had happened to them?
“Good for you. You usually look like a dog, but in the end, you’re still not a good person.”
The nobleman stopped beating the clerk. He was fat and short, and he was not a match for the robust clerk. There were two dark circles under his eyes, which made him look especially funny.
The officials looked more and more unsightly; someone snorted coldly and said, “We did some disgraceful things to get to the top, but what about you? Are you very honorable? I’m willing to pay 10,000 gold coins. I want to know all the dirt about you.”
“The payment is successful. Next is the information about all the bad things this nobleman had done.”
The maid smiled and waved her hand. She took another stack of illusory books and began to read them, “The evil deeds that this gentleman has done include colluding with the city guards, intentionally demanding a high penalty for breach of contract when certain merchant caravans pass by. Previously, when the fortress city was carrying out the hot spring renovation project, he embezzled a sum of money, causing the excavation to be unprotected. The workers dug the city’s sewers to be damaged, and...”
“I was wondering why the water was stinky, so it was all your fault! If it weren’t for you, even if the water pool wasn’t a hot spring, it could at least be transformed into a pond to breed some magical aquatic beasts.”
When the girl read out the information, Fawkes could not help but speak angrily.
Back then, he was humiliated because of the failure of the hot spring project. Thanks to the help of those officials, the economy did not suffer too much. At that time, he was very grateful to those people., but it seemed like those people were the main culprits that caused the failure of the hot spring project. No wonder they helped him. It turned out that he had always been the sucker.
“It’s not like that. Please listen to me.”
The nobleman looked flustered. He waved his hand to explain. Unfortunately, his explanation was too weak, and no one believed him.
“I have already said too much about the crimes that the nobleman has committed. Next is the most important one.”
“Enough, stop talking!”
“That nobleman has been having an improper relationship with the wife of the city’s clerk.”
What?
The clerk widened his eyes in disbelief. “I’m so much better than you, how could my wife—”
“You’re not bad looking, but I’m richer than you. How do you think you got that position as a clerk?” The nobleman explained guiltily, “It’s all because of your wife that I managed to get you that position. You slept with my wife, and I slept with yours. We’re even now.”
“We’re even, my *ss. I’ll beat you to death.”
The clerk roared and turned into an angry tiger. He pounced on the nobleman and rode on him. He punched him again and again with his left fist.
“Boss, give me a copy of that information.”
“I want one too.”
“I want three copies.”
The other officials could not help but bid to buy the information. They were also worried that they would be cuckolded or schemed against by villains.
In a short period, dozens of officials had bought hundreds of pieces of information and paid a total of 100,000 gold coins. It was chaotic. The officials were entangled in twos and threes and were beating each other. They were criticizing each other for all kinds of crimes.
“The lives of those officials are too messy. Not only are their private lives messy, even their methods of getting to the top are disgusting.” Deena took a few steps backward and stood next to the maid.
“Yes, there aren’t many good people here. They have power, so they don’t treat ordinary people as human beings. They are wealthy, but they are even more greedy than the poor, and they are trying all kinds of ways to exploit others! But now, the evil things they’ve done have been exposed. In the future, if they want to do similar things, they would have to think twice about it. Young Master Watson set up the Everything House to earn money from the noblemen and get the noblemen back on the right track. It was to kill two birds with one stone.
There was a hint of respect in her tone. The maidservant maintained a smile on her face. That smile was different from the professional smile just now, and it was entirely from the bottom of her heart.
The Everything House was not only the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s intelligence network. It was also an oversight agency. After learning that the Everything House could obtain information about everyone, those officials would have to worry about whether they would be discovered if they wanted to do anything that violated the laws of the kingdom. Deena brought those officials there to help them understand the functions of the Everything House. On the other hand, she wanted them to understand Everything House’s power and be a person who followed the rules in the future.
“My name is Deena, the heir of a poor earl’s family in the royal city. May I know your name as Young Master Watson’s subordinate?”
Deena stretched out her right hand. She noticed that some of the information had incited the noblemen’s fury. However, they did not kill each other. It was not an easy thing to do—to control one’s emotions.
“I am a member of the former Demoness Bandit Gang. I have forgotten my name since I have not used it for a long time. You can just call me by my title. I am Lust. I am now a maid on Mount Creation and the boss of the planetary fortress’ Everything House.”
The girl also reached out and gently held Deena’s hand.
