MTL - I Became the King of Villains In the Game-Chapter 416 Preparations before the celebration
Chapter 416 Preparations before the celebration day
Brendan was restrained by Floyd with black vines, suppressed and knelt on the ground.
Beside him, there were more than a dozen monks in black, who were also **** and detained. These are Brendan's subordinates, and they are also clergymen assigned to work in the Wangcheng Church.
They belonged to a group, and Chen Lun would naturally not show mercy.
After Floyd finished writing the letter, Chen Lun used his golden cup token to call the council's messenger, the faceless attendant, and asked him to send the letter back to the headquarters.
"Give this letter to the Speaker for review, or the consul of the Senate."
Chen Lun instructed the faceless waiter.
The latter nodded tacitly, and whispered that he understood.
The Faceless Attendant was the council messenger who first came into contact with Chen Lun, and he was also closer to him, so he could be regarded as half of his own. It is very clear that the consuls of the Senate are also divided into camps, so naturally they will not hand over this letter to Jack's opponents, that is, the Houstons.
It quickly left with the letter and returned to the parliament headquarters.
In the evening of the same day, the faceless attendant returned again and told Chairman Chen Lun that he knew about the matter, and expressed affirmation of his handling methods.
After the secret meeting was held, the expressions of Houston and other consuls were very ugly.
"I see, what's the result?"
Chen Lun asked.
"Master Jack, although several consuls in Houston tried their best to defend themselves, the speaker personally issued an order to deprive Brendan of his status as a Gold Cup member and **** him back to the headquarters for trial."
The Faceless Attendant replied.
Chen Lun nodded in satisfaction.
Although he knew that this move would offend Houston and the others, but anyway, the two sides did not deal with each other, so let’s offend if offended. Standing on the ground of righteousness, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only swallow this breath. Who told Houston to know people.
"In addition, the council also decided to use all the stolen money from Brendan's embezzlement as construction funds and give it to you at your discretion."
said the faceless waiter.
"It may take a few days though."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Lun laughed.
He was a little happy in his heart. Although he still had 350,000 gold pounds on hand, since he had public funds to use, he naturally didn't feel so distressed when he squandered them. The money Brendan got was worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds, which was enough for him to do a lot of things.
"I need you to help me notify the members of the council, including Akbin and Frey, after returning to the headquarters, and let them come to Wangcheng... There is a shortage of manpower here, and I need their help."
"Okay, Master Jack."
The faceless waiter responded respectfully.
Brendan and others were escorted back to the headquarters that day, and Chen Lun also asked Floyd to go with him in person to ensure that the matter could be completed smoothly.
The other members of the circus were arranged by Chen Lun in the house in the generous church area. Although the renovation has not been completed, the infrastructure is still complete and can be barely used.
Chen Lun plans to wait for the funds to be available before hiring more engineering teams to completely renovate the church area before the Empire Celebration Day.

Three days later.
Parliament’s trial of Brendan ended. At that time, hundreds of members in the large hall witnessed the moment of downfall of this Gold Cup member. The person who even participated in the sentencing and listing of his charges was his boss, the Houston consul.
Houston remained expressionless throughout the whole process, and finished Brendan's crimes indifferently. The latter was heartbroken and lowered his head in despair, as if he didn't want to see the contempt, anger and mocking eyes around him.
In the end, Brendan was deprived of his position as a member of Parliament for more than a dozen crimes including embezzlement of public funds, bluffing and deception, and undermining the image and prestige of the Parliament.
If there are no accidents, his ending will be old age and death in prison. After all, a transcendent who has not been promoted to a high position, even if he is a Sequence Five, his life span is no different from that of ordinary people.
His future life is destined to be extremely gloomy.
The Houston Consul was also affected a little because of this. After all, the scum of this parliament was his direct subordinate, which indirectly affected his prestige.
Because of this matter, He had a stern face all day long, in an extremely bad mood.
Of course, Chen Lun, who was the instigator, was also hated by these consuls. Even as far away as Wangcheng, he received reminders from the four consuls that their favorability had declined, and his original indifference turned into hostility.
But Chen Lun just smiled lightly and didn't care.
Things are always two-sided. Although he was hostile by consuls such as Houston, he also gained the favor and respect of other members of the parliament. After all, such a "fair and selfless" consul is even more convincing.
Chen Lun's internal reputation suddenly increased a lot.
The Faceless Servant soon delivered Brendan's embezzled money, plus the construction funds newly approved by the Senate, totaling 150,000 pounds.
This can be regarded as a reward for him.
Because he used his own means to replace the "tap water" that Brendan deceived believers with the "fountain of youth", this act of repairing the past has been known by the parliament.
In the conference room deep in the church area, the faceless servant conveyed the speaker's message to Chen Lun, which was a compliment to him.
"It's just my job."
Chen Lun sat on the high-back chair, shook his head and said to the messenger.
"Please also express my thanks to the Speaker and Ginsberg and other consuls on my behalf."
"I will, Master Jack."
The Faceless Servant presented the Imperial Bank voucher with both hands, then turned and left.
Along with it, there were four Gold Cup members including Akbin and Frey, twelve Silver Cup members and dozens of ordinary members. These people stayed in the conference room, ready to accept Chen Lun’s appointment and orders .

Chen Lun took this huge amount of public funds, waved his hand, and handed over 50,000 gold pounds to Frey.
"You will be responsible for the renovation of the Church of Generosity, Frey."
Chen Lun turned his head and said to him.
"Don't worry about the cost. If the 50,000 gold pounds is not enough, then report to me...but remember to pursue the best quality, the most efficient speed, and the architectural style that is most in line with my teaching."
Frey sat on the ordinary wooden chair in front of the desk. He was slightly taken aback for a moment, then immediately got up and took the bank voucher, respectfully stroked Chen Lun's chest, and said with a little excitement:
"Thank you for your attention, Mr. Jack, the subordinates will definitely do their best to complete this matter."
Chen Lun nodded with a smile.
pointed to the other people in the seat beside him.
"You can dispatch three silver cup councilors and ten ordinary councilors as assistants, and strive to complete the project before the 23rd of this month, which is the Imperial Celebration Day."
Frey glanced at the others and nodded solemnly to Chen Lun.
"Yes, Master Jack!"
After explaining the renovation of the church area, Chen Lun arranged several tasks for Akbin and the other two Jinbei councilors as the initial development plan after coming to Wangcheng.
After the meeting, Chen Lun was sitting alone in the high-back chair and meditating, when Connie knocked on the door of the meeting room.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jack, a steward from the royal family came to visit, saying that he came to deliver a message from the prince."
Connie showed an apologetic face, while her eyes were full of respect and admiration.
Mr. Jack's status is getting higher and higher, and even the prince sends people to visit. As the "little housekeeper" of the team, she can't help but feel a sense of pride.
"Please let him in."
Chen Lun nodded and smiled.
Connie responded obediently, and immediately closed the door and left.
Not long after, she led a middle-aged man in gold and red with a ruched lace collar.
"Mr. Jack Speight, good day."
The man came to the desk and nodded slightly.
Chen Lun just looked up at him, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal.
"Please sit down."
"No need, I'll leave after I finish speaking."
The man seemed to be offended because Chen Lun didn't get up, his eyes flashed with displeasure, he put his hands behind his back, and continued:
"Hearing that your Excellency has arrived in Tourmaline Kloster, His Majesty the Prince was very happy, so he sent me to tell you that the 23rd of this month is the Imperial Celebration Day, and His Majesty the Prince will personally honor you on that day, so please wear Neat, in line with imperial etiquette, and absolutely not late."
"Well, I see."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
The man paused for a while, and then added:
"By the way, after the award ceremony, there will be a dinner hosted by the prince. Your Excellency is also on the invitation list... But the guests present are all dignitaries, celebrities, and other high-level church officials, so please don't be rude."
"certainly."
Chen Lun frowned and said with a chuckle.
After finishing speaking, the steward of the royal family nodded and left.
Chen Lun looked at the back of the other party and shook his head slightly. This is a member of the Sun Royal Family, with a somewhat superior arrogance. Even though he is the consul of the Generous Parliament and a reserve member of the Imperial Jury, the steward does not take him seriously. inside.
Perhaps there is a key reason for this, that is, Chen Lun is not a high-ranking person.
If it was facing a saint, the royal steward would never dare to speak in such an attitude.
‘In the final analysis, it’s strength…’
Chen Lun was not annoyed, but shook his head with emotion.
"It's a pity that the mythological knowledge of Sequence Four is still unclear. The fairyland has basically been explored, and Philip can't be contacted for the time being... We still have to start from the official side. After the celebration day is over, we will find a chance to learn about the rewards and punishments within the Imperial Jury." mechanism. '
After this episode.
the next day.
Chen Lun is preaching to believers in Generous Church.
Relying on [multitasking], he has already memorized the Bible "Justice Document" of the Generous Parliament backwards, and the teachings in it are also well understood, and he can speak with ease when preaching.
If it weren’t for the fact that holding a Bible is more in line with the image of a priest, he even found a reclining chair to lie down and talk with empty hands.
In the past few days, more and more believers came to worship, not only because of the fame, but also because of the spread of the "Holy Water of Atonement". Many residents of Wangcheng who are eager to prolong life and cure diseases want to try their luck.
It's a pity that in the eyes of the believers, except for the "working hours" from ten o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, this Father Jack can't see anyone, and he never mentions the "Holy Water of Atonement", which makes many Came to join in the fun and returned disappointed.
At 2:25 in the afternoon, Chen Lun finished his sermon early and stood on the stage listening to the complaints of believers.
This is one of his duties.
Logically speaking, he, the consul, is not responsible for these matters, but because the members under him have other things to do and are not familiar with "business", they can only do it by themselves for the time being.
But this situation will be fine after a while.
Chen Lun intends to unload the burden of the priest after the Empire Celebration Day and hand it over to one of the Jinbei councilors.
After a young male believer accused his fledgling company of being cheated by a competitor, a couple hurried into the cathedral.
"Father Jack!"
The woman shouted excitedly.
She attracted the attention of other believers, and Chen Lun also raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows.
This couple was Fana and Johnston whom he had met on the Pearl Bamogo before. At that time, he had persuaded the other party to join the Council of Generosity and believe in His Majesty Conrad, but Mr. Johnston declined the proposal at the time.
"John was cheated! That **** Patel, thanks to us trusting him so much and treating him as our best friend and partner, we didn't expect him to play John like a fool and run away with all our initial funds Already!"
Fana said indignantly.
The husband Johnston next to her had a dejected look on his face, even because of his wife's rude behavior, which made him feel ashamed.
