Tap.
Tap.
This is the sound of steel-soled boots.
This is Jing Zhengwei's footsteps.
For this soon-to-be president reigning over all merchants, the Silver Blood peers who value "information is money" naturally investigated everything about this person.
It's truly astonishing once you investigate it.
Not only because Jing Zhengwei's battle achievements are impressive, but because his dark past is truly frightening.
Although it's called a dark past, it really boils down to the "cruel killing of a maid" incident, which isn't considered a serious crime in Xuanzhu County—for ordinary people it's a crime, for Silver Blood merchants, it's akin to breaking a vase.
At most, people would feel you are "extravagant and wasteful."
In the entire assembly hall, there's no one without blood on their hands. To them, killing a maid they owned is indeed not much of a crime; if someone were to burn this place down, the merit gained might ensure them a lifetime of riches and honor.
