342 We speak the truth ? (1/2)
Hope Elementary School had already stopped classes for a period of time. Now, the classrooms from the first to fourth floors were used to contain the scammers and their victims. There were old, young, males and females, almost all of them were swindled here.
Zhao Yao was brought to the front of a classroom on the first floor and saw that a class was still ongoing. An old man with a face full of wrinkles was standing on the stage. He was speaking with a thick accent as he introduced the uses of miracle water, the method to join him and allocation of profits…
The old man pointed at a few lines of huge words on the blackboard and said, ”What's the biggest influence on older people? Swindlers and friends. As long as we occupy these two avenues, it would mean a huge market with limitless potential is open to us.
But remember, we are not real swindlers, we are just making use of the opportunity.”
Zhao Yao glanced at the audience and saw hundreds of people squeezing inside the tiny classroom to listen to him. More than half of them were elderly and many of them were still taking notes.
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and thought in his heart, ”Your publicity is done so well.”
Seeing Zhao Yao and Red Packet being escorted in, the old man on the stage asked, ”A cat with special abilities and an apostle?”
The escort replied, ”One cat with special abilities, but the one here seems to be an ordinary guy.”
The old man nodded his head, ”Bring the cat to the second floor, leave the man here.”
The burly man gave Zhao Yao a shove and said, ”You stay here and learn.”
On the journey here, Zhao Yao cooperated with them and hence the escorts did not think that he would resist, so they spoke and acted at will.
However, when he reached where the people were kept, he naturally did not want Fortune Cat to leave his sight, he looked at the man who shoved him and immediately said, ”The cat follows me wherever I go, don't even think of taking him away from me.”
The guys around started laughing and one of them pointed to his head, ”Are you dumb?”
Some of the people in the classroom revealed expressions of pity. It wasn't possible that there wasn't an emergence of resistance in Chuan Xiao District.
Every few months, some will suddenly realize and want to revolt or escape. There were some that would only realize when they arrived here and tried to escape immediately.
But Old Cat managed Chun Xiao District like a propaganda school. The thousands of people were all immersed in the madness of cultivating fortunes for themselves.
Under this circumstance, even when armed police enter, they probably could not even bring anyone out.
There would be residents going on patrol and watching the compound every day and night. Those that wanted to escape would be captured and beaten, after which they would be starved for days.
It was easy to be backstabbed and exposed by others, hence even fewer people dared to attempt to escape. Even those that were aware of the absurdity of the entire situation could only keep their mouth shut.
Hence, when they saw Zhao Yao's refusal to obey, they revealed that expression as they thought he was going to be punished.
However, at the next moment, a deflective field erupted as the surrounding burly men flew back and screamed in pain.
The old speaker on the stage and the audience were shocked, ”Apostle?”
After arriving at Chuan Xiao District for some time, they had naturally experienced the powers of an apostle. Zhao Yao's supernatural behavior could only be explained by that.
But even if he was an apostle, it was useless. There were many apostles in Chuan Xiao District and which one of them wasn't subdued?
Zhao Yao said regretfully, ”What are you doing, Ares? Did I ask you to act?”
Ares replied, ”They scolded you while pointing at your head. Are you just going to let them disrespect you like that? Do you even have a shred of pride?”
