The fishy smell of the sea in his nose made Mr. Pitt very irritable. Ever since he started to win over Dulin, bad luck seemed to have been accompanying him.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Mr. Pitt is a successful and very low-key businessman. He rarely shows the ugly face that only wealthy businessmen have. Most of the time, he appears gentle and gentle. When he meets a tramp or a beggar, he will Very lovingly leave some change.
Some people say that Mr. Peter's business is not big, because he can't find the arrogance that comes with the flow of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars of capital every minute. Moreover, he has been at home recently and has not traveled on business, and may even be bankrupt. .
Some people also say that Mr. Pitt is actually very rich, very, very rich. Money is just a number to him. He no longer needs to prove his wealth through arrogant behavior. That is what only shallow upstarts do. things.
He is a true gentleman, so approachable and polite that residents in the community will be happy to say hello to him no matter when and where they see him.
But now, he is very irritable. The reason for his irritability is that his career has suffered unprecedented damage, and at the same time, the plans that continue to fail make him gradually deviate from the center of the world. People no longer dance around him, and he is about to fall from the top of the mountain. .
Many people just think that he is a successful person, and their understanding of him is limited to what he has shown. In fact, Mr. Pitt is respected as the "Angel of God" in other places.
He is the apostle of the gods, a living legend who walks in the world on behalf of the gods, and the most devout servant of Odela, the Mother Earth Goddess...
Yes, he is the tip of the pyramid of the Earth God Cult.
Since the failure to win over Du Lin, a series of problems followed. First, the internal gathering of the Tushen Cult was infiltrated, and then their lair was destroyed. A large number of precious materials were seized and sealed by the officials before they could be transported away. got up.
The Tushen Cult promptly turned from light to darkness and completely lurked, ready to wait for the opportunity. With the influence and history of the Tushen Cult in the west, no one would be able to find them if they wanted to hide.
Pete is well aware of the bad temper of the Western cowboys. Unless the officials treat them as lords and ask them to inquire about these matters, they may consider speaking out. Otherwise, they will not say anything even if the gun is placed on their heads. One word.
At first, he thought that as long as he could lurk for three to five years, there might not be a chance of resurgence after the limelight passed. Although their old nest was destroyed, there were still some secret bases still in operation, recording the list of important members of the Earth God Sect. The directory is also still in hand.
All it takes is a phone call and a message to be spread, and the Seat of the Earth Mother Goddess can make a comeback.
But he didn't expect that Dulin was actually in charge of Ambiluo State. Under his instigation, those stubborn cowboys and farmers were like licking dogs, constantly pouring into the police station to report the followers of the Earth God Cult they knew, lurking in the police station. Basically all the followers of the Tushen Cult in Ambluo State have been arrested.
This bad situation is still spreading to other places. When a group of people take the initiative to do something that breaks the rules, people will have an inexplicable impulse while watching.
As long as one person takes the lead, this unconventional behavior will become a trend and quickly sweep through the surrounding areas.
In this situation where he was almost driven out, Pete went to the Federation, contacted his long-standing partners, and designed a plan that was almost perfect - he planned to assassinate Dulin to cause political changes in Ambluo State. Then seek benefits from it and let the Earth God Cult make a comeback.
This is very obvious. Once the West loses a strong governor like Dulin, the softies who succeed him will definitely not be recognized by the Western Cowboys. Then under the laws of religious freedom, they can completely change their names, such as Rebuilding a religion with names like God the Earth Father.
The plan was successful and Dulin was assassinated, but it also failed because the result of the assassination was not pleasant. He escaped the disaster, which also meant that Pitt failed to fulfill his promise to the founding family.
By assassinating Du Lin, they created chaos in the western part of the empire. The Jianguo family planned to export some dangerous ideas and weapons when the western part was in turmoil. They had always done that in the past. Some of the restoration organizations in the empire were basically from the Federation. The consortium and the founding family support again.
They transfer a large amount of funds to these extremist organizations through certain special channels every year, allowing them to develop their strength and power, involving the energy of the empire's intelligence department, and also easing the pressure on some federal spies living in the empire.
But just because Peter's plan failed, the West did not become turbulent at all. The so-called "taking advantage of the chaos" became a joke, and a series of cooperation was stranded.
Pitt had been looking for an opportunity ever since, and it wasn't until Magers left the Empire for the first time in twenty years that he thought his chance had come.
The assassination of Magus created a fierce conflict between international situations, and then used a series of assassinations to stir up irreconcilable conflicts between countries, and finally ignited the fuse of the war.
Once the war starts, people will not pay attention to whether some old faces will appear in the empire. They will only focus on the war.
But the plan still failed, Mags did not die, no matter how seriously injured he was now, as long as he did not die, then everything was in vain.
This made Peter very distressed and angry. It seemed that everything had changed since he met Dulin, and bad luck would not leave him.
Now, those "Audras" are no longer satisfied with his idleness and incompetence. If some movement cannot be made as soon as possible, some people will not be able to help but jump up.
Those "Audras" are actually the real investors of the Earth God Religion, some domestic and foreign consortiums, including some foreign dignitaries.
The rise of the empire is definitely a very good thing in the eyes of the imperial people, but it is not good news in the eyes of others.
About ten years ago, when the empire began to gradually recover, some people contacted him and used him, the Tushen Cult, who cheated money, sex, food, and drink, to do some less than honorable things.
From being passively at the mercy of these investors at the beginning, to gradually becoming stronger and actively recruiting investors, Peter's talents were completely discovered by himself and developed very maturely.
A total of more than 30 organizations or individual investors will give him enough funds for activities every year, and what he needs to do is to create a certain influence, and at the same time attract a large number of social dignitaries and celebrities to the Tushen Cult, and then create a certain Use these tools to control these people, or cooperate with them.
The empire's business secrets, political secrets, military secrets, and even some lists of agents lurking in various countries were leaked out in this way without anyone noticing.
In order to ensure that he could turn those people into "one of his own," Peter made the greatest efforts and attempts, and even did not hesitate to seize the handle of these believers by fulfilling their wishes.
For example, in the special spaces he created, whenever a believer vents his crazy emotions, rapes some targets that excite him, tortures and kills some people who have offended him, or even when others When you push a train from behind or someone else pushes a train from behind...
These artificially created handles have become a very effective weapon for the Tushen Religion to control some social dignitaries and celebrities, and many people have become the Tushen Religion's most loyal partners and believers.
If it weren't for Du Lin, and there wouldn't be so many misfortunes that followed, he would still be living a very happy life now, especially these nagging things that made him feel that even the emperor might not be as comfortable as he was.
Now, everything is shattered, and the dream has awakened. If it weren't for the fact that Pete still had a lot of evidence of contact with various organizations in various countries, as well as a lot of handles on politicians and celebrities, he would have been swept into the trash heap long ago. .
These are his means of self-protection and the capital for his comeback. Now, all he has to do is wait for a mess.
After coming back to his senses, Mr. Pitt drank black tea and looked at the turbulent sea in the distance. Occasionally, some seagulls flew over from the distant horizon. Small boats came in and out of the port, creating a very busy scene.
Spring is the time when fish spawn, and a large number of migratory fish begin to return from the distant sea to the offshore. This is God's blessing to fishermen, allowing them to easily catch countless fish.
Every time a boat comes back, someone will greet it to discuss price issues. Most of these fish will soon be turned into fish and other products and sent to the country for sale. Others will be dried and hung as specialties in the city. In some specialty shops.
Of course, the most important ones, the eggs, will become specialty products worth far more than their mother.
Fish exposed to the air will emit a faint fishy smell. When the number of fish piled together reaches a certain level, the fishy smell will start to become smelly.
When a gust of sea breeze blew, the smell of sea and seafood was like an invisible fist that punched Pete. He drank the coffee in the cup rudely and quickly left the coffee shop.
This is the east coast, and we can’t stay in that damn place in the west. Who knows what bad luck will happen to us and expose ourselves.
He not only has his own property here, but also has a new identity. Every time he leaves here, he will leave in the name of "business trip". When he comes back, the business trip will naturally be over.
Therefore, coming back suddenly after a long absence will not give people a sudden feeling. People have long been accustomed to it, which also allows him to more perfectly integrate into the city and his new identity.
After walking a few steps, he frowned and looked at his leather shoes. There was an obvious gray-white mark on them. He didn't know where they were rubbed, maybe in a cafe.
When he crossed his legs just now, he felt his feet hit something, probably a table leg or something.
Humans are very strange creatures. When they are poor, they can swallow even rotten food without hesitation in order to survive.
But when they become rich and have status, they will become particularly picky and even turn into a mental illness. Many people have this situation, but the severity is different.
Peter looked around and walked towards a row of children brushing their leather shoes on the roadside. These children, who were wearing formal suits one size smaller and wearing plaid peaked caps, were very common now, and there were more of them during holidays.
Most of them are engaged in simple jobs such as cleaning leather shoes. The price is not high and everyone can accept it. Moreover, people are particularly patient and compassionate towards children, which makes the business of these children always good.
He walked to a child and sat down, took out a fifty-cent coin from his pocket, and threw it into the shoebox with the shoe polishing tools aside, "The best oil!"
The child's eyes lit up, and an uncontrollable smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I will give you the best service, sir, thank you for your generosity!"
He neatly dealt with the dust on Pete's shoes, and then took out a tube of shoe polish priced at one forty-nine cents in the store. Pete withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, took a newspaper from the newspaper rack nearby, and read it. .
The erected newspaper completely separated him from the child. He did not notice that the child looked at his hand holding the newspaper with a strange expression, then lowered his head and continued working.
On Pete's index finger and middle finger, there are two circles of lighter skin color, where he used to wear rings. In order to ensure that his concealment would not be discovered by others, he took off the two rings he had worn for seven or eight years and did not give others any chance.
About twenty minutes later, the child said it was okay. Peter put down the newspaper and looked at his leather shoes, and nodded with great satisfaction. They were so bright that they could almost reflect a person's shadow. The child polished them very carefully. .
Just as he was about to stand up and leave, the child asked a little embarrassedly, "Sir, I think you have a watch. Can you tell me what time it is now? I have to go back to make lunch for my family at noon."
If an adult were to ask him the time, he could point to the surrounding shops, or simply say that he did not have any watches or pocket watches.
But this is a child, a sensible child, and a poor and sensible child who has just finished shining his shoes and has to go back to cook for his family. He picked up the watch chain buckled on the inside of his formal suit and took out a very delicate piece. pocket watch.
The outer ring of the pocket watch is made of platinum, and the inner ring is made of gold. The front is inlaid with many broken gemstones, and a vague pattern can be faintly seen. The reverse is an exquisite relief, which is engraved with the head of a woman, which happens to be inside. The gold ring and platinum outer ring floated behind her head like a halo.
"Ten forty-nine...", he put away his pocket watch, glanced at the child who was starting to collect things, thought about it, took out two one-dollar bills, threw them into the child's toolbox, and left. here.
He knows that giving one or two yuan will only make his "companions" or adults think that he is a lucky child at most. If he gives more, such as five yuan or ten yuan, or ten yuan and twenty yuan, right It would be a disaster for that child.
The tragedy of killing and being killed for a small amount of money was too much, so he only gave two yuan, not much, but just right.
Yes, just right!
