Chapter 327 - An Honest Man Among All Honest Men (2/2)

Fang Ning thought carefully for a while then came to a sudden realization. “I know who it is. Other than Tom the black cat, Anderson’s old boss, who else has this legendary ability to travel through space? Long ago, Anderson has mentioned that Tom the black cat could travel between spaces through soul linking.”

The System said with certainty, “That’s right, this ability is seldom seen and is very high-end, only very few people know how to use it, let alone cats. It even purposely transformed its form, it has hidden motives indeed. Mr. Rich Boss, your analysis was right, these fellows are evil.”

Fang Ning said proudly, “Meanwhile, get rid of the other rascals too then, lest they covet my city in the future.”

…

Crouching on the level ground of the mountain while absorbing Yin energy was Claus, no, Claude.

He really could not comprehend why as he waited and waited, he had met the real clan leader of the Whitestone people so soon…

Luckily, he had always put on a full show, so he would not reveal simple flaws.

That was right, Sir System was still afraid of killing the wrong person. Even though Fang Ning could farm them after he killed them, it did not see any signs of their sins on the map.

Therefore, Sir System only captured and threw them into the Draconic Arcane Realm instead of the Draconic Penitentiary.

On the third level of the Draconic Arcane Realm.

Vigilante A and the members of the Special Investigations Unit had already surrounded Claus.

“Clan Leader Shi, this person calls himself Claus and claims that he was lost in an arcane realm when he came down with you, do you have any idea?”

Clan Leader Shi Gan checked him out then said in confusion, “Eh, isn’t your name Shi Shiba? I remember that I made the elders make you stay up there, why did you come down on your own and even changed your name? Did you learn to lie?”

Claus immediately rubbed his head with his hand. “I didn’t learn to lie, clan leader. When I saw you leave that day, I was really worried so I secretly came down, but I don’t know why I fell in here. As for my name, it was a handsome fellow who said that I had fate with him, so he changed my name.”

After Clan Leader Shi Gan heard him, he furrowed his brows and paused for a while then said, “What you said was the truth. Since this is the case, you don’t have to return, we happen to be short-handed here, stay and help out with work then.

“Work hard and work well, the Venerable Dragon God is really nice to us. He offered us high salaries, there’s no need to work overnight, and it’s extremely safe over here. It’s rare to find a job like this.”

Sir System quickly told Fang Ning, “Look at you, you almost made me farm the wrong person, quickly ask your old book to give me a million experience points to help me get over my shock…”

Fang Ning was speechless, he was a little hesitant and uncertain as well, but he did not show weakness to Sir System.

He only said, “I didn’t let you kill him either…besides, you’re not able to see every sin now. Though Clan Leader Shi has amazing abilities, his deduction might not necessarily be accurate this time. Nothing is absolute in this word.”

Sir System refuted, “There is, at least you’re absolutely a salty fish.”

Fang Ning was at a loss for words, he reminded it, “Enough with the nonsense, it’ll be good if he stays here too, I’ll let Achilles the space governer to look at him.”

Thus, Vigilante A left with the people.

As Claude looked up and away, he saw herb field after herb field, where one or two Whitestone people popped up occasionally.

He was dumbfounded. In order to disguise his identity, he had prepared for almost everything, but the only thing he did not prepare himself for was farming.

Farming was not a thing to be underestimated, it was a professional’s work. Without hundreds of years, it would be impossible for one to achieve the standard of a Whitestone person, hence he did not even put this into consideration from the start.

That being said, he did not retort in any way.

This was because he knew that the golden rule of the Whitestone people was to listen to their clan leaders, and to listen to their elders. Only huge matters would require group discussion.

Currently, his matter was clearly not a huge one, so it was impossible for him to refute the clan leader’s arrangement as it would not comply with the conscientious and obedience Whitestone people.

There were countless proficient eyes watching around.

A tomcat had just escaped, which evidently made them way more alert. A wrong move could land him in the Draconic Penitentiary…

Despite that, it was not a problem for Claude, who was profoundly intelligent, he instantly came up with a genius idea. He would just do all the hard work by avoiding those that required skills, he could still pass himself off as being able to farm.

Except this genius idea somehow did not feel right…

That being the case, in the Draconic Arcane Realm, a fake Whitestone person blended into Vigilante A’s second core site.

Two days later, he became a hardworking and capable true Whitestone person who specially looked for all the hard, dirty work to do.

The positivity and sincerity in his working attitude made even the true Whitestone people compliment him – this was the role of a Whitestone person, by doing all the tough and dirty work, leaving only the easy ones to the others, he was truly an honest man among all honest men.

Towards all these opinions, Claus always smiled simply and looked humble.

Damn it, after all the scheming that he had done, he was only going to do tough work for Vigilante A with nothing in return?

Oh, that was not it, either. He was paid with salary that seemed to be bountiful for ordinary people, but so what about it?

He was only a castle on land, this bountiful salary could not be bought even after a hundred years.

He thought to himself, ‘Wait and see, Vigilante A, I’ll work hard to gain your trust and when that time comes, you’d better watch out…’

While Claude pondered, he carried a bag of high quality mixed fertilizer that had an impressive smell, then passed it to another Whitestone person who was in charge of fertilizing.

That person smiled at him and pat on his shoulder to express encouragement.

Claude returned a smile as well.
