And Fontaine is the real legendary king of endurance.

The amount of wealth that was transferred away was an astronomical figure, which was enough to establish another country. It can be said that if there were no Fatui, there would definitely be more than one prosperous city like Fontaine in Fontaine.

No wonder Zhidong is the country with the strongest military power. The money comes from places like this.

Damn it! How can I tolerate this?

Lu Sheng had already planned to incorporate Fontainebleau into Xumi's territory.

Both regions are my wings, both are my people, and the nine continents in my heart.

Isn't it the same as stealing the private wealth of the great Mushroom King by doing this? And hurting the devout believers and people of the Mushroom King?

My money!!!

This matter will never be over until the principal and interest are recovered. It is useless for the Queen of Winter to kneel down and beg her. She will not forgive her even if she puts on a bunny girl's clothes and twists around.

Lu Sheng told Clorinde the result.

Her anger can be imagined.

Regardless of her identity as a Shadow Hunter, as a Fontaine, Clorinde could not swallow this humiliation. She kicked Manager Harrison to the ground and beat him half to death. Then she grabbed his ankle and dragged him out, preparing to take him to the Shadow Court to surrender.

"Master, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll be back with my men soon. Please!"

Clorinde rushed out of the Northland Bank alone, holding a sword in one hand and dragging Harrison with the other. Anyone who tried to stop her experienced the power of the strongest duel agent.

Lu Sheng silently took out the camera he borrowed from the young reporter and took pictures of the evidence one by one.

As a man of fun and a master of fanning the flames, he planned to pack up the evidence and send it directly to the servant.

I wonder what Alechino, the Wolf of Fontaine, would do to the rich if he knew about the dirty things done by the Northland Bank?

Wonderful, really wonderful!

While he was busy taking pictures, a group of Fatui who got the news and came to the rescue rushed into Harrison's office.

boom! ! !

With a deafening bang, the entire ceiling of the Northland Bank building disappeared, and all the Fatui who rushed in also disappeared.

"Noisy."

Lu Sheng shook his hands and continued taking pictures.

Fontaine: Chapter 168: Dog bites dog

The Hearth House, an orphanage-like organization in Fontaine.

Alechino is the dean here and the father of many children.

She also served as a diplomat in Fontaine as an executive of the Fatui.

Many people in Fontaine are averse to having a Fatui serve as the director of an orphanage, and they think that the Fatui will corrupt the children of Fontaine.

But if the Hearth House was really closed, they would be unhappy.

They say that orphans will run into the streets to steal and increase the crime rate.

None of them were willing to adopt a child, and those who were willing would buy the orphan home to satisfy their perverted fetishes.

As time went by, the Hearth House just kept on existing.

Alechino grew up in the Hearth House, but that was during the winter. The Hearth House of the past is completely different from what it is now.

The previous "servant" completely treated Hearth House as a place to raise poisonous insects, following the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, letting the children kill each other in order to select the best ones to serve the Fools.

Those who fail will be sent to the doctor and become consumables for human experiments.

Alecino was the Gu King raised by the previous servant, but she was unable to suppress the demon she had cultivated herself, and suffered backlash and was killed by Alecino.

In the eyes of the children, Arecino is a very strict parent, teacher and instructor, but the children still love and respect her.

It is precisely because of the suffering she has experienced that Alecino knows how to give children respect and care.

She would not let the tragedy that happened to her happen to her children.

In the Buffati Mansion, Alechino is discussing the next plan with Rosalin.

Rosalyn: "What do we do now? We don't even know who the Heart of God is."

Alechino said calmly, "We can use the young master's matter to issue a diplomatic rebuke and force Finina to come to the mansion to meet us. Then we can test her first. If she is not the water god, we can expose her directly and force the real water god to show up. If she is the water god, we can sit down and have a good talk. I believe the water god will be very interested in things related to the prophecy, and my Hearth House can provide help."

"Do you want to obtain the Heart of God through a peaceful transaction?"

Alechino smiled slightly. "After all, I am from Fontaine, and the children here are also from Fontaine. No one wants to see their hometown really destroyed, right?"

Just then, Linnie suddenly walked in with a package in his hand.

"Father... just now a mysterious person suddenly threw this thing into the mansion. I didn't dare to open it privately, so I sent it to you immediately."

"Mysterious man?" Alechino frowned. "Did you see what he looked like?"

Lini shook his head. "He was so fast that I didn't even see his shadow. I just saw the package suddenly fall to the ground."

Alechino and Rosalyn looked at each other.

"Bring it here."

She took the package from Linnie, opened it, and found a bunch of photos scattered inside.

"This is..."

Rosalyn picked up a photo and looked at it carefully, and her expression suddenly changed drastically.

"These bills...are all transferred from the Northland Bank! The amount is too much! How come I didn't know that the Fatui bribed so many officials in Fontaine? If I had known this, why would I have gone to so much trouble to investigate?"

She suddenly realized what was happening, looked at Alechino suspiciously, and asked, "Did you do all this? They took photos of the account books and sent them to me. Could it be that they wanted to threaten you with this?"

Alechino said nothing, just flipping through the photos one by one.

Her face was more gloomy and depressed than Rosalyn had ever seen it.

It was obvious that the content of these photos made Arlecchino quite angry.

"What a good trick... Pantalone... In the report to the Queen, he said that the financial situation is thriving and there is a surplus of hundreds of billions of Mora every year. This is how the money came from! It seems that such a big country as Fontaine was built for them!"

The number of orphans in Fontaine has been increasing in recent years.

The economy is getting worse and worse, more people can't afford to raise children, and it's even difficult to survive.

And all this is closely related to the Northland Bank's endless exploitation of Fontaine's value.

It can be said that most of the children in Hearth House were victims of this plan.

If this incident were to be exposed, the public opinion in Fontaine would be a small matter, and it might even directly lead to a war between Fontaine and Zhidong.

Alechino would never allow this to happen.

She collected all the photos and set out to settle the score with Pantalone.

According to reliable sources, Pantalone arrived in Fontaine secretly not long ago.

He came to clean up Marcelle's mess and, by the way, to cultivate a new Marcelle to take the position so that he could continue to maintain the chess game he had set up.

At this moment, Pantalone was enjoying a sumptuous dinner in his private estate in Fontaine.

Although Rosalin didn't know why Arlechino was so angry, she knew very well what the consequences would be if her good sister got angry. She had to follow her no matter what, so as to prevent her from doing something irreparable in a moment of impulse.

Outside the mansion, seeing Alecino and Rosaline leaving with gloomy faces, Lu Sheng smiled as expected and followed them quietly.

He couldn't miss this grand show of dog-eat-dog.

Not long after, Alechino stormed into Pantalone's manor with great momentum. Anyone who dared to stop her was either slapped away or burned by flames and screamed in pain.

She fought her way into the manor house and blocked Pantalone, who was enjoying dinner, at the dining table.

The candlelight flickered, and Pantalone raised his gentle and elegant face and smiled at the servant who broke in violently.

"It's Ms. Alechino and Ms. Rosalin. The visit of these two beauties really makes my little house shine. Have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together?"

Alechino walked up to him with a gloomy face and threw the photos in his hand at his face.

Pantarone was not annoyed, and still smiled as he picked up a photo and looked at it.

"Oh, I just found out about this." He threw the photo away casually and said, "So I'm ready to run away. I'll leave Fontaine right after this meal."

"Run? You caused the mess, and you ran away. Do you want me to clean up your mess?"

Pantalone spread his hands and smiled, "What else? My position is the Minister of Finance, and you are a diplomat. Everyone has their own strengths. I am good at making money, and you are good at handling diplomatic relations. Isn't this the basic operating logic that the Fatui have always followed?"

Alechino asked coldly: "Do you know how many families have been broken apart because of you? How many children have lost their parents and become orphans?"

Pantalone showed a puzzled look, "So what if you know? What does that have to do with me? We are the Fatui, and we have sworn to be loyal to the Queen. I will do my best to get money for the Queen. Do you think I should worry about the affairs of other countries? Alechino, I know you are from Fontaine! But don't be confused about your position!"

Fontaine: Chapter 169: "The Rich" - Death

"Oh! Position?" Alechino sneered, and a sickle flashing with a terrifying edge quietly appeared in her hand, "I'll tell you my position!"

"I am a human being first, a Fontaine second, and an executive officer of the Fatui last!"

Pantalone finally stopped smiling and asked in a serious tone, "Alechino! What do you want to do?! Have you forgotten the rules of the Fatui? Put away your weapons! I told you to put away your weapons!!!"

"Are you deaf? What on earth do you want to do here? To take my life? To kill an executive officer appointed by the Queen? Haha, I almost forgot that you got to the top by killing executive officers. But things are different now. I am now a loyal minister beside the Queen, in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire Winter Solstice."

"Military expenses, salaries, social welfare, and all the operating funds for the Fatui. With so many expenses, do you think Mora will grow out of the ground automatically? Without me, how can Winter Solstice have a chance to become the strongest among the Seven Kingdoms?"

"Without me, how could you live in a mansion? How could you have three servings of dessert a day? You didn't say a word when you were enjoying yourself, but now that something's happened, you throw the bowl and start cursing! I shouldn't have agreed to allocate so much funding to your Hearth House. So much money is spent every year, but in the end you raise an ungrateful person. It's ridiculous!"

Pantalone's words were very aggressive because he was sure that Alechino would not dare to touch him.

Although this woman apparently puts the Fatui last, she is actually very loyal to the Fatui.

After all, after she killed the previous servant, she was originally going to be executed, but the Harlequin and the Queen pardoned her and let her inherit the code name of servant and continue to be in charge of the Hearth House.

Over the years, Alecino has been working diligently for the Fatui and has never made any mistakes.

In terms of loyalty, she is one of the best among the Fatui executives.

Rosalin reached out and held down Alechino's sickle, and advised him kindly: "Calm down! Don't be impulsive! There must be a better solution. If you kill him, things will become irreversible! Don't try to make enemies with the entire Fatui. If you kill him, I will become your enemy too!"

The sister's words gave Alechino's rushing blood a moment's relief.

Yes, no matter how much he hated Pantalone, he could not really kill him.

His death will not only plunge himself into an endless vortex, but will also instantly cause the economic system of Zhidong to collapse, causing immeasurable losses to Zhidong and the Queen.

It's hard to choose between Fontaine and Solstice.

But there are more than just Fontaine's orphans in the Hearth House, and for their sake, Arlecchino decides to be patient.

"Get out of Fontaine right now and never come back. You must stop doing that. If I find out that you are still sucking Fontaine's blood, I will chase you down to Zhidong and kill you!"

Pantalone raised his glasses with a sneer, and without even bothering to eat, he stood up and walked out. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Alechino.

"I will report to Her Majesty the Queen what happened here today."

Seeing that the two sides had reconciled, Lu Sheng, who was disguised as a Fatui and watching the fun, became anxious.

That won’t work. You can’t reconcile.

Buddy, I took great pains to follow here not just to watch you make dumplings.

He immediately snatched the musket from the Fatui beside him and pulled the trigger at Alechino.

This shot completely detonated the already high-pressure atmosphere.

Then came the second and third shots.

The Fatui belonging to Pantalone started a fight with the other two executive officers.

However, under the sickle of the fourth servant, these rotten fish and shrimp were quickly killed.

Rosaline, the unfortunate victim, was also forced to be involved in the fight.

She had never regretted walking into this manor so much.

A moment later, Lu Sheng, the fuse that triggered all this, had already sneaked away.

At first glance, there were traces of blood gushing everywhere, and corpses were scattered all over the restaurant. It was an extremely tragic scene.

Alechino pulled out Pantalone who was hiding under the dining table.

The gentleman who was so gentle and elegant just now was now stepped on the ground with his hair disheveled, and even his gold-rimmed glasses were broken.
