Chapter 123 Two Important Things Right Now
On the other side, after the slave traders returned to the merchant guild, they immediately summoned several of their trusted confidants.
Although there was a threatening element to what Su Tu asked him to do.
But he did see an opportunity in it, an opportunity to strengthen his relationship with the church.
This opportunity is rare; it's fair to say that before, trying to deepen our relationship with the church was simply impossible.
But now, the opportunity is right in front of him. If he doesn't seize it, he won't be the slave trader who dominates the entire slave market in the eastern part of the capital.
"You must handle this matter carefully, discreetly, but not too discreetly!"
The slave trader, though seemingly stern, exuded an air of authority. He mimicked Su Tu's earlier demeanor, crossing his legs and staring intently at his trusted subordinates below.
However, his obese figure made him look like a mouse with his legs crossed, and the fact that he didn't laugh was already the greatest respect his subordinates could show him.
However, they dared not slacken in the slightest when faced with the orders given by the slave traders.
Not to mention that he had already explained the significance behind this matter in great detail to them, breaking it down into several parts and dissecting it thoroughly.
If you still don't take this to heart, you're a complete idiot and deserve to die a meaningless death.
"Understood, President."
There were five confidants in total, including the man who brought Morales. At this moment, all five of them echoed each other, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the slave trader.
He then waved his hand lightly, mimicking Su Tu's mannerisms quite well.
"Alright, you can go and make the arrangements now. Remember, don't be too secretive, but keep it secret!"
When he gestured for the group to leave, he emphasized it again, as if afraid they wouldn't take it to heart.
After all, it's not discreet enough, and people might easily label it as disrespecting royalty.
The Empire is now managed by the royal family, and the East District is actually managed by the church, but nominally it still belongs to the Empire.
If he were labeled in this way, even if the church secretly protected him, it would still provoke the wrath of the royal family and create a lot of trouble.
But if this matter is kept too secret, the church may not even know that he was the one spreading it in secret.
Then his opportunity to deepen his relationship with the church would be wasted.
This is why he has always emphasized not to make things too secretive, but also not to expose them too much.
Soon, several subordinates left his private office and began arranging for people to spread rumors that Eve had been attacked by the Fool's Curse and was being played like a clown.
Early the next morning, many people on the street were discussing this matter. In restaurants, fruit stalls, breakfast stalls... customers were talking about it, and the owners overheard it.
When other customers came over, the owner used it as a topic of conversation and discussed it with them.
These guests inadvertently mentioned Eve's attack to their family and friends, and the news gradually spread throughout the East District.
Unsurprisingly, the people who initially delivered this message were all sent by slave traders.
If it were something else, it probably wouldn't have spread to this extent.
But this matter involves the empire's only princess, who was not only ambushed by the Foolish Calamity, but was also treated like a clown and played with.
For ordinary people like them, whose lives are mostly unsatisfactory, this is definitely a great topic of conversation after dinner.
This allowed the matter to spread rapidly in a very short period of time.
Almost everyone in Dongcheng District has heard about this.
This also shows that if Eve hadn't blocked the news and had taken those people away, the name "Foolish Calamity" would probably have spread throughout the entire capital.
In the house of Su Tu's first avatar on the outskirts of Dongcheng District, he couldn't help but smile slightly as he watched the fame value on the panel rise.
Just as he expected, in just one morning, his fame value rose from over 500 to over 4000.
The increase was quite dramatic, but it was enough to prove that his choice to attack the princess to create a buzz was the right one.
It is estimated that by evening, his fame value will reach around 10,000, which will allow him to gain two attribute points.
"That slave trader is quite efficient; we might be able to make better use of him in the future."
Looking at the constantly changing numbers, Su Tu thought the slave traders had done a good job.
However, given how popular this matter is, it shouldn't be long before it reaches Eve's ears.
Although Dongcheng District is church territory, it also has members of the royal family.
The news that spread freely on the streets would naturally reach the ears of these people and then be relayed to the royal family.
They knew what was going on here; it was only a matter of time.
Su Tu sat on the sofa for a while, then suddenly seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"It seems they know what's going on here."
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness began to return to his body.
Just now, Eve sent someone to find his main body, wanting to hold a meeting, seemingly to discuss some important matter.
If there are no surprises, it's highly likely to be related to the Dongcheng District.
Since it concerns the fame value of his first incarnation, Su Tu will naturally not be absent and will definitely go to the meeting to see how they will deal with it.
Only by knowing their follow-up plans can Su Tu formulate targeted actions to ensure that the popularity of this matter does not decline.
Just kidding, we've finally started to get on the right track, how could you possibly stop us so easily?
Thinking this, he walked towards their Calamity Squad's private meeting room.
Since the night they were tricked into escaping from Calamity, the Calamity Squad has been training continuously and searching for suitable S-rank magical tools.
With the support of the empire behind them, finding suitable S-class magical tools is not difficult at all; basically, everyone has their own exclusive magical tool with a signed contract.
It can be said that now each member of the Calamity Squad is basically capable of fighting one-on-one against his first incarnation.
Of course, Su Tu's original ability is quite special, so he has not been able to find a suitable S-class magical tool. He has become the only member of the Calamity Squad without an S-class magical tool.
However, since he was the team leader and his reported abilities were suitable for command, the team members did not look down on him for being weak.
"Now that everyone has arrived, let's begin the meeting."
After seeing Su Tu sit down, Eve did not hesitate and immediately announced the focus of the meeting.
"This meeting mainly covers two things. The first is the rumors about Dongcheng District, but that's not urgent. The important thing is the second one."
She paused slightly as she said this, which made Su Tu wonder.
According to his expectations, this should be the most important thing at the moment. Could there be something else happening that he doesn't know about?
As he thought this, he looked toward Eve, wanting to see what this first matter, which was even more important than the face of royalty, was.
At this critical juncture, Eve didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately revealed the second matter.
"Rhys escaped, taking those eight corpses with him!"
Silence fell as soon as the words were spoken.
