Goethe's face wrinkled up, and for a moment, he almost couldn't resist the urge to draw his gun and open a skylight on the trembling candy shop owner's head - just like he had done in the labor camp.
If it were normal times, Goethe would still have room to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor for a while. At this moment, the pressure of "failed to collect debts with the young master for the first time" was like a file, repeatedly grinding on his nerves.
It's "again", but it doesn't mean that every time he comes to collect debts, the boss will claim that he encountered a robber as an excuse to default on the debt. On the contrary, Carambar Candy Store is in good operating condition and has always had a good credit standing.
, is an excellent small family workshop with zero default record until today.
But this proud record has ended today. Bearing Goethe's fierce cannibalistic eyes, the middle-aged man's bald head was covered with a layer of dense beads of sweat.
"Old... Master, I swear in the name of the Mother Goddess, I never want to default on my debt, I am just that damn thief..."
"This is the 14th time I've heard this today."
Goethe put his hands on his waist, and his calloused index finger became more and more itchy.
"Five candy shops, three pastry shops, four coffee stalls, and two butcher shops were all robbed last night. I want to know, are they gangs of robbers or hungry people crossing the border like locusts? When did the most virtuous place in the kingdom become so big?
We don’t even know about the criminal gang?”
(And he is also a strangely powerful bandit who specializes in robbing food.)
Looking at the theft scene, Roland added a supplement.
Generally speaking, for such a large-scale theft to rob 14 stores overnight and wipe out all the inventory from the counter to the warehouse without alerting the head of the household and the neighbors - this is an almost impossible task. Only
It can be considered that only a large number of thieves can accomplish such a thing.
But what the thieves group is interested in are all high-value goods. Compared with candies, cakes and fresh meat, jewelry stores and small savings houses are more attractive to them. On the other hand, the thieves group cannot use their claws to silently close the door.
The breath split into two, frightening the guarding dog into incontinence and fainting.
Pick up the fragments of wooden boards on the ground. The cuts are a bit rough, not like the straight sections caused by swords, nor like the fluffs and splinters caused by axes. Instead, they are more like the scratches and fluffs made by beasts on the trees as marks.
They all fell in one direction.
Humans cannot make such marks. Although many orcs have sharp claws, even the lizards with the largest claws cannot grow their hands into cutting machines. Are they dangerous species? This is even more impossible.
, the probability of dangerous species appearing in Luders is related to Li Lin.
The ingredients for a cappuccino are just as cheap. Besides, dangerous species don’t have the intelligence to rob a store. It’s much more efficient to rush into a residential area and gorge on fresh human flesh. Before that, the “street” caused by the dangerous species’ weight measured in tons
"Shock" had already awakened the whole city.
"He seems to be a habitual female offender."
Stretching out the "exploration line" and analyzing the physical and chemical traces remaining at the scene one by one, the spider, who is particularly sensitive to perfume ingredients, frowned.
"Bulgar Rose Essence? The taste is surprisingly good."
It is slightly lower than Mascena rose oil, but Bulgar rose oil is not a luxury product that ordinary people can afford. With a spider's salary, it can only be prohibitive. So far, I have only smelled it from afar.
The fingers trembled, the exploration line retracted, and the spider shook its head vigorously.
"It's really hard to understand. It's a woman's thing, but it's stronger than a man. Could it be that it's a shemale? What's going on with those claws?"
After connecting the clues found in my head, I found that the thing depicted was not human at all, not even like an orc, but at the same time it looked like everything, and it was impossible to assemble a meaningful image.
This is the first time I have been caught blind. In the past, no matter what kind of opponent I was, even if I had never met him, I could get a general idea of it through various traces left. At least I could understand its race. But this time it was literally true.
It means that it is completely impossible to grasp.
It seems that the only option is to lose face and ask for support from the Stasi intelligence network...
"Whether it is force majeure or not, the debt will not change, Mr. Jacques."
Goethe rubbed his forehead. His disguised light eyebrows and thin lips revealed a mean-spirited air of an official. He reached into the inside of his suit and pulled out a few pieces of paper.
"We are serious businessmen who abide by laws and regulations. Therefore, we will take judicial measures to resolve debt defaults. I hope you can find a good lawyer. If you can't find one, our company can recommend it to you."
The face of the candy store owner and his family turned pale in an instant. The middle-aged man in his forties fell to his knees in front of everyone, grabbed Goethe's trousers and cried loudly. The women and children behind him also cried together.
No one was gloating over the misfortune, and no one was looking at it with disdain. It was bad enough that the gangsters chopped off hands, drowned people in rivers, and beheaded the whole family. But when they entered the court and added a lawyer introduced by v.e company... then the whole family was really being tortured alive.
Squeezing it dry is not enough.
"You don't have to go through judicial channels. Our company also has a package service that specializes in resolving debts. We call it the 'Surprise Three Lucky Bags'. Please choose carefully."
Goethe smiled like a wolf before a sheep, and handed the contract to the candy shop owner. After reading only a few lines, the boss's face became whiter than the paper.
Lucky bag 1. After three years of contract signing, the debtor’s whole family will go out to find a luxurious-looking carriage to crash into. Afterwards, the company’s lawyer will be responsible for negotiating compensation matters;
Lucky bag 2. The contract is signed for five years. The debtor travels to various countries and uses his body to help transport central nervous system stimulants and hallucinogens. If the whole family participates and the transportation volume and frequency are increased, the contract period can be shortened.
Lucky bag 3. After signing the contract for ten years, the debtor will work in v.e company's factory in Krakow and use his salary to repay the loan. Note: During the signing period, if the debtor dies due to an accident and is unable to perform the contract, his or her family members will take his place until the debt is paid off.
;
Originally, there was a fourth lucky bag package, which was to sell organs and blood to repay debts... However, organ transplantation and blood transfusion are regarded as heresy by the church, and there is currently no large-scale market demand. Mr. Jacques' family cannot "enjoy" it.
This is the benefit of paying off the debt in one week...
"How do you like it? Which one do you like, Mr. Jacques?"
Listening to Goethe's gentle voice coming from hell, the family hugged each other and shivered.
No matter which one they choose, the family is doomed. They want to continue begging, but looking at the blank court summons in Goethe's hand, the words of begging for mercy are stuck in their throats and they cannot make a sound.
Their life and death are not within the scope of the creditors' attention at all. Goethe just needs an example to make those shops that encounter the same problem realize the consequences of not being in debt. Therefore, their begging for mercy will not have any positive effect at all.
.
That look of toying with prey made Roland frown at the side. He was about to say something when a clear female voice pierced the crowd.
"Oh my, my, Tangtang v.e. Company, the things they do are worse than those of the underworld, right?"
