"I do want them to live a good life, but I hope they can live a happy life through their own efforts without being discriminated against." Vivian shook her head.
"Instead of being like a parasite, clinging to the host and greedily eating everything up."
"In that case..." Li Cheng smiled and said, "How about we go to the slums together and give a speech to urge them to be more normal?"
"Well, that's the only way." Vivian bit her lip and nodded.
-
The slums of the fraud city are decorated with lights and colors.
It was hard to imagine that this slum, which was shabby and smelly just a day ago, was now scattered with gold and gems looted from other places, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of perfume.
Groups of half-demons gathered together, bragging about how they had stole the show, which big shot of the demon clan had been sent to the guillotine, and where they had made purchases for free.
I have to say, these half-demons learn very quickly.
The vast majority of them are idle and have no proper jobs on weekdays, making a living by fraud and robbery.
The bill promulgated by Li Cheng just met their wishes, allowing them to give full play to their subjective initiative.
It only took them one day to adapt to the version.
Only a very small number of half-demons still retained their sanity and did not join in.
And now, these half-demons are surrounding Li Cheng and Vivian.
"Ms. Vivian, we can't go on like this. We are not trying to take back the power we originally had! If we continue like this, this city will go crazy!"
"I understand. Don't worry." Vivian signaled everyone to relax: "I came here to wake them up and stop them from going crazy."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Cheng, and after receiving his encouraging look, she took a deep breath and walked onto the podium.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he was met with loud cheers.
"Look who's here! Isn't this our savior! Miss Vivian!"
"Ms. Vivian, thanks to you, we were able to crush those damn demons under our feet!"
"Yeah, hahahaha, this is the correct way to open the City of Fraud!"
"Vivian! Vivian! Vivian!"
A deafening sound rang out in the square. Vivian looked at the crazy tribesmen and felt a little breathless.
She didn't understand why when she introduced her tribesmen to work in the city hall, they were not only dissatisfied but also slandered her.
But now, they are so passionate.
It is wrong for you to do this. You are parasites, parasites that turn against their masters!
Vivian took a deep breath and slapped the table with all her might: "Everyone, we can't go on like this. We should coexist peacefully with the demons. Those laws are to protect us, not for us to use to hurt the demons!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.
The half-demons, who had been enraged just now, stared blankly at Vivian, their faces filled with confusion.
It was like watching a clown.
"Everyone, think about it, if——"
"Wait a minute, Vivian."
Before the half-demon girl could finish her words, a sharp voice rang out.
A charming woman wearing a gray robe and a golden chain around her neck came out.
The half-magic Anka was the de facto decision maker in this slum. She was a seventh-rank half-magician and everyone’s opinion leader.
Although the bill was proposed by Li Cheng, the idea of sting enforcement was designed by Li Cheng and conveyed by Karenina, but the person who really pushed the boat forward and directed the half-demons to take action was her.
The half-demon who was sent to work at the City Hall was also selected by this woman.
"Ms. Anka." Vivian gritted her teeth and said, "You should know that we can't go on like this."
"Oh? I should be very clear? Miss Vivian, I think you are confused!" Anka interrupted her rudely: "I want to ask, what are you thinking about? Do you want us to stop?"
"We finally got the money, status and even everything from those half-demons. Now, you want us to give it up. How do you want us to survive?"
Her voice became louder and louder, and the half-demons looked at Vivian with increasingly hostile eyes.
"We can work hard and support ourselves." Vivian clenched her fists: "Just like the demons..."
“Hahahaha, why should I work hard when I can cheat money from the demons? What a joke, you are a half-demon, but you are speaking from the perspective of the demons.” Anka waved his hand: “Then just listen to what your people think!”
"Hahahaha, I can easily get money from the demons, why should I go to work?"
"Yes, Vivian, putting aside the facts, are you crazy? Why are you speaking for those stupid demons?"
"Haha, it seems that our Miss Vivian's butt has become more and more crooked since she got the job at City Hall."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're just enjoying yourself in City Hall. We all know you have your own suite on the top floor!"
“Hahahaha, maybe Miss Vivian is afraid that this turmoil will affect her master, causing her master to be powerless when he contradicts her!”
"You, you, I didn't..." Vivian gritted her teeth. She couldn't understand why her people had become like this.
"Okay, Miss Vivian." Anka stepped forward and looked at her aggressively: "Can you please leave here? You are not welcome here."
"What did you say? But this is my home." Vivian took a half step back.
"Not anymore from now on." Anka chuckled.
"Get out! Traitor!"
I don't know who it was, but someone suddenly shouted.
Immediately afterwards, roars like a tsunami rose one after another and became one.
The herd mentality turned into a frenzy at this moment, and almost all the half-demons present joined in the carnival.
Even though there were a few who disagreed with Anka's statement, their voices had long been drowned out by such roars.
Then, the voices of these half-demons gathered into a tsunami and rushed towards Vivian.
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
Anka looked at Vivian teasingly, the contempt in his eyes seemed to be mocking her arrogance.
She enjoyed the deafening sound of the tsunami and the frenzy of the half-demons.
But Vivian was trembling with fear at the shouting.
She felt a pressure that could not be described in words, and her face had already turned extremely pale.
She pursed her lips tightly, trying to calm herself down, but her trembling fingers and the cold sweat spreading from her palms still exposed her fear at the moment.
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
The shouting and cursing became louder and louder. That was not an order or a request, that was bullying.
A bullying of one person by thousands of people.
"No, don't." Vivian kept backing away.
This slum is where she was born and raised.
She regards this place as home, and the people here as her family.
Since she was a child, she had heard from her elders that the demons were oppressing the half-demons and that they left the half-demons with nowhere to go.
Vivian remembered it. She studied hard and practiced with all her might. She became the youngest 4th-level warlock. She left this dirty and smelly place and got a position in the city hall.
She could have accepted the olive branch offered by the Abyss Demons and completely cut off ties with this place.
But she didn't.
She chose to try her best to establish a bond between the two tribes. She wanted to change the impression of the half-demons among the demon tribe, and she also wanted to change the living conditions of her tribesmen.
She has tried very hard.
But in the end, what is waiting for her?
Her people, tell her to get out.
These stupid idiots, can't they see what will happen if this continues?
This abyss is not just the City of Fraud.
When other territories see the chaos here, will they still be willing to provide a breeding ground for the half-demons?
"You, you..."
Vivian clenched her fists, unable to make any sound.
At this moment, another voice that was clearer than anyone else's suddenly rang out:
"Are your critics and mouths the opposite? You keep saying critical things here?"
"what?"
The originally uniform voices of "get out" were disrupted, the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the audience was broken, and everyone stared blankly at Li Cheng who walked out.
No, how dare you, a second-level demon, act wildly in front of a group of half-demons who are at least fourth-level?
Don't you know where this is?
This is the city of fraud, a place where you demons should get out!
How dare you act wildly in our territory? Don’t you want to live?
Vivian was also stunned. She did not expect Li Cheng to stand up at this time, nor did she expect that Li Cheng, who always had a sunny and warm smile, would have such extreme bad breath when he opened his mouth.
But it was undeniable that her trembling heart calmed down.
The tsunami-like pressure also disappeared.
My nose even felt a little sore.
Is this... the feeling of being protected?
