Chapter 103: Even a dog can see things more clearly.
On Queen's Road, at Earl Hall's mansion, the Tarot session ends, and Audrey returns to the real world.
She then fell into deep thought. After talking with Raphael twice, Audrey suddenly felt lost and helpless most of the time.
For example, discussing how to effectively control Raphael today, regardless of the method used, is an attempt by the strong to control the weak.
This perfectly aligns with the world rules that Raphael previously described!
Audrey was unwilling to solve problems using such rules, but she found that the posture of the strong controlling the weak was a relatively stable structure in human relationships.
At least with persuasion, Raphael certainly wouldn't make any changes.
This made Audrey feel lost no matter what she did.
Just like a couple of days ago when she was working at the Rune Charitable Education Foundation, Audrey easily solved the problem by using her identity as "the daughter of Earl Hall".
She knew very well that she was playing the strong one, while those who made concessions were the weak ones.
However, if we don't do this, it will affect the distribution of scholarships and prevent us from helping more students.
She was unsure of what to do, so she took a few days off after the war began.
These past few days, she has been thinking about this issue, considering what guiding principles she should use to solve problems in the future.
As Audrey continued to ponder, her golden retriever Susie ran in carrying a ball and placed it in front of her: "Audrey, it's a bit sunny today, let's go play ball."
"No, Susie," Audrey said somewhat sadly. "I'm thinking about some things."
Susie stared at the beautiful girl for a while before opening her dog-like mouth and asking, "Audrey, what are you worried about?"
Audrey glanced at the big dog: "Susie, do you sometimes feel angry?"
Why be angry?
"Dogs have always been enslaved by humans."
Susie's pupils immediately turned golden, as if she were observing the girl before her for a moment longer, before asking in a very serious tone, "Audrey, you've been so downcast these past few days. Is it because of what Raphael said?"
Audrey took a shallow breath: "Yes."
Then she briefly described her predicament.
"You're thinking in the wrong direction," Susie said, still in a serious tone.
Audrey, who was about to grab her water glass, paused, "Wrong direction?"
"Yes," Susie said in a persuasive tone, "The reason you were influenced by Raphael's words is because you feel that the rules of this world are not as wonderful as you imagined."
"Under such circumstances, it is wrong to think about problems according to others, or even more so according to Raphael's way of thinking."
"You should think about the problem from a different perspective. First, you need to be clear about one important thing: don't let your principles waver. On that basis, you can then try to understand the world and use its rules to achieve your goals."
As Audrey picked up the water glass, her eyes suddenly lit up.
As she drank her water, she thought: "That's right, just like what I did at the student aid foundation. Although I used the rules of this world and played the role of a detestable so-called strongman, I helped more students in the process. So, I've achieved my goal."
After drinking the water, Audrey felt much better.
She glanced out the window; the sunshine was indeed quite nice today. "Come on, let's go outside and play ball."
The gold in Susie's pupils disappeared: "Let's go, let's go, I haven't played ball in ages."
It picked up the ball again and walked ahead, wagging its tail.
Audrey watched Susie's retreating figure and smiled helplessly: I'm not even as insightful as a dog.
Raphael's injury took two full days to heal before he was finally able to move freely again.
Fortunately, Raphael did not lose consciousness during the battle, otherwise he would likely have been taken to the hospital by his subordinates.
When the doctor examines the patient, they will find that the patient's sternum is broken into more than a dozen pieces, and not a single rib is intact.
The internal organs, in particular, were minced into a ball of meat.
From the doctor's perspective, the patient died a terrible death.
Raphael, however, thought it might be a good opportunity to play the role of a "live user".
After recovering from his injuries, Raphael first convened a meeting with the Mafia bosses, indicating that he had other matters to attend to and that Carter would be the new boss of the Mafia.
The other leaders all thought that their boss was going to step down and that Carter was just the boss in name only.
Only Carter knew that he would really be in charge of the entire Mafia in the future, and the reason the boss was holding this meeting was because he was only Sequence 9 at the moment, and the boss was helping him maintain his position.
Raphael then met with Hugh, and MI9 commissioned Hugh to acquire several extraordinary items that Raphael had captured.
Raphael completed the transaction without hesitation.
The "Arbitrator" and "Lawyer" traits sold for a total of £600. The "Barbarian" trait sold for £600, and the "Inquisitor" trait sold for £1500. The total was £2700.
The reason Raphael is no longer interested in money is mainly because he once experienced the baptism of "madness." In the eyes of madmen, many things close to daily life are not very important; madmen pay more attention to spiritual gains.
Even when he first became "crazy," he still loved money.
Although not particularly interested, Raphael wouldn't pass up such a thick wad of gold.
With this money, he had the funds to refine "copper corpses" and "iron corpses," and for a long time he wouldn't need to "borrow" money from the West District.
While paying her the fee, Hugh also gave her a new task: two MI9 members went missing in the Bridge District the day before yesterday. She hoped that Raphael could mobilize the Mafia members to search for them. She also provided two portraits: one of a middle-aged man with a beard and a scar on his left cheek, and the other of a young man with clear features but missing an eyebrow.
Raphael casually agreed, but he had no intention of helping to search for them. The police and MI9 couldn't find them, and he didn't think the gang could either.
Of course, he wouldn't refuse outright. He might need this petite woman's help again in the future, and refusing would make him seem picky about the task. It would be better to tell her in a few days that he hadn't found it.
After making contact with Hugh and confirming that no one was following him, Raphael went to his rented factory. In the battle before creating the new zombies, he obtained five extraordinary bodies, one of which was a Sequence 5 body, which gave him the "raw materials" to make "Iron Corpses".
He also selected several robust bodies of gang members, which were much stronger than the bodies stolen from the hospital.
However, creating a new character takes time, and before the new character is completed, Raphael decides to seek an opportunity to perform a role.
It was only then that Raphael realized that Mr. C had not sent anyone to contact him for more than a week. Could it be that something had happened to the Aurora Club?
