Ark: I adopted Seria at the beginning

Chernobog winters are often exceptionally cold.

But most of the time, it was only the ordinary people living in this city who felt the cold.

But now every household has a warm little stove, as well as an ample supply of vegetables and staple foods.

The price is also very reasonable, and basically everyone can afford it.

But for the nobles, they were barefoot and wearing only thin clothes at this time.

Walking on the cold street amidst falling snowflakes was a feeling they had never experienced before.

Next to it was the Heimdall mech that was escorting the group of criminals.

They are cold and ruthless, and they don't care about any organic life forms other than their rulers.

In the central square of Chernobog, Huang Cheng gave the order, sending all the nobles to the guillotine.

"Why?" asked a nobleman who was about to be beheaded.

Huang Cheng laughed and said, "Because your emperor sold this city to me, and I naturally don't need a bunch of parasites like you. It's a very worthwhile deal, isn't it?"

The nobles let out a wail of despair: "How could this be...?"

Huang Cheng's lips curled slightly; even though there weren't many people watching the execution today, he was still very happy.

"So go to hell. I don't need you, and therefore you don't need me. Besides, you lost. I don't need to say more about the fate of the losers."

"Prepare for punishment. Silence them, put them all on the gallows and guillotine, and I will personally press the button for each one."

Huang Cheng sat on a throne made of gold, looking down at the crowd of no more than one hundred people watching.

The people of Chernobog are afraid.

Because nobility is a circle, if the nobles of this city are beheaded, their relatives far away in Saint-Germain-de-Lago will probably come back to cause trouble.

It's a bit surprising that fewer than a hundred people from a city of hundreds of thousands attended this grand event, but it's also understandable.

After killing the man, Huang Cheng stood on the stage and read out the new tax law.

"Starting today, all taxes will be reduced to half of their original amount. Business taxes will be eliminated, and Chernobog will be added to the official health insurance program, which everyone must pay. Social insurance will also be required starting next year."

Social security and medical insurance.

These two things have been in place for Chernobog for several years now, but previously only those working for Scorpio Corporation could receive this benefit.

Now everyone can pay, no longer limited to employees. However, it's free for Scorpion Group employees, while ordinary Chernobog residents have to pay extra, although the price isn't high.

It is foreseeable that not many people will submit their work in the next year, but in time, the results should become apparent quickly.

About this city.

Huang Cheng plans to invest some funds to improve people's livelihoods, but ultimately, he wants to enable the people here to realize their own value.

This world is ultimately material; without a good, virtuous cycle, even the best plan cannot last.

If we keep throwing money around, everyone will suffer when the money runs out.

None of Huang Cheng's businesses around the world are losing money; it's just that some nobles exploited him too much in the past.

After dealing with all the troublemakers, Little Scorpion issued a statement announcing that Chernobog and the surrounding area had been sold to the Scorpion Group by the Ursus Emperor.

The news caused an uproar throughout the city.

It can only be said that there is some nationalistic sentiment in Ursus, but unfortunately not much. The only reason to blame is that the nobles of Ursus are too ruthless, treating them like mere livestock.

All the residents living in this city gradually quieted down after just one afternoon of commotion.

Although Scorpio Group also aims to extract value from you, your life is much better than before.

[My Lord, a guest is requesting an audience in the City Lord's reception room. Her face is obscured, but she is tall and slender, with an outline that resembles a woman. She also exudes a demonic aura. Based on calculations and research, the guest should be the Holy Fool of Ursus.]

"Holy Fool, what the hell is this thing? And I remember it was just a black ball, wasn't it?"

Saint Fool, this guy's information is also recorded in the Scorpion Group.

In general, the Holy Fool was not well-liked by either the commoners or the nobles of Ursus, and thus pleased neither side.

Because it's a double-edged sword, everyone is afraid that this sword will cut them in the future.

Be patient and persevere until the pain is over.

This is the creed that the Holy Fool has always proclaimed and upheld, and at the same time, he has used this spirit to strengthen his own power.

Saint Fool was once a creature with extremely strong willpower, but now he has become a complete demon.

However, it possesses its own consciousness, considers itself to be human, and its appearance adapts and changes according to how others perceive it.

In front of the little scorpion, the Holy Fool has two appearances: one is the image with thorns on his body, like in the game's illustration, and the other is just a dark ball.

However, Little Scorpion had already redeemed the weapon for the special attack against evil a long time ago, and even Kreison would have to retreat after firing a burst of bullets.

This burst of bullets might not kill anyone, but it could definitely wipe out a large number of demons.

"Where's Margaret? Have those two met?"

[My Lord, we have cleared the area around the City Lord's office in advance and are now on high alert. We have confirmed that there are no living creatures in the vicinity.]

“Well done, I’ll go and have a go at that guy.”

Huang Cheng flicked his large golden tail and put on all his anti-demon equipment.

Although his mental strength is already incredibly powerful, we still need to be careful.

Moreover, once he's equipped, he's not afraid of even ten Kreesons coming at him.

Could Saint Fool possibly be more powerful than Kreeson from the B-space?

Huang Cheng arrived at the city lord's office in a whirlwind, only to find that Saint Yu was completely surrounded by fully armed machines.

Saint Fool was also secretly alarmed, because she discovered that her power had almost no effect on these machines.

"I still prefer you the way you are; you look much better than that ball."

Blinking, Huang Cheng used his mental power to make the other party's appearance more human-like.

Otherwise, it would be too strange to discuss a problem with a ball, but the machines next to it don't have that kind of convenient capability.

In their eyes, the woman in front of them was just a dark ball with human-like outlines.

However, its core has already been exposed, and it seems that one shot is all it takes to take the opponent's life.

"I wonder what brings the renowned Saint Fool, who is so famous among the upper class of Ursus, to Chernobog today? And it's quite unusual that he's not surrounded by bodyguards."

"I've come today to spread the gospel to the Scorpio Group, esteemed sir. Have you heard a story..."

With a snap, Huang Cheng raised the gun in his hand and gave a friendly smile.
