Chapter 229: Richest Person In The City
In villa no. 2 of the church residence, many people were gathered in the hall.
They were all rich folks, from nobles to adventurers and businessmen. Most of them came here with the intention of befriending the hero Lucifer and doubling their money, while some others came to gather intelligence.
"Hey what do you think about Hero Lucifer's blessings? He is going to double our money, which means he has at least four-times blessings, right?"
"Of course, Hero Lucifer has four-times blessings; if not, then how could he double our money? I think he might even have six-times blessings."
"What six-times! Then doesn't it mean Hero Lucifer is a three-star hero?"
"Yeah, of course he might be even a four-star hero, and I hope he is because then he can just double everyone's money here rather than choosing a few people."
The people in the party conserved each other, trying to guess how many blessings Hero Lucifer has, while most of them hoped he has eight-times blessings so he can double everyone's money. Stay updated with mvl
Thinking of this they all chatted about their fantasies, hoping to become rich today.
When suddenly the hall became silent, and everyone turned towards the magical lift where Hero Lucifer and Alessia emerged from the door.
"Everyone, on behalf of Hero Lucifer, I, Alessia, welcome you all to the party."
"I know you want to have a chat with Hero Lucifer, but before that, there are some important things I need to announce," Alessia said politely as she made her way to the stage with Li Wei.
While hearing her, people below were stunned and suddenly thought of something.
Alessia saw their thoughtful expression and didn't bother to keep them in suspense.
"Today Hero Lucifer hosted this party because of two reasons. The first reason to help you all with your money."
"As for the second reason, that is, Hero Lucifer has joined the Elmoral Church. So, from now on, he will be working under the church," she announced with a calm face, making people below stunned.
Even though they guessed things would be like this, they weren't sure and only thought his situation was like Bai Feng, who was protected by the kingdom without being under it.
However, an announcement like this means he had signed the contract with the church.
Just as they were busy in their thoughts, Alessia continued.
"Even though Hero Lucifer has officially joined the church, he has some important quests to do. Because of this, he won't be staying here for long and wouldn't be able to visit the 'Principal Church' to meet the Holy Pope."
"So, I would like you to not believe in rumors that will be soon spread by others. Also, some people from the dark faction might try to impersonate Hero Lucifer; hence, be careful if he doesn't wear an official insignia of the church" Alessia stated, making people below stunned again.
However, she didn't care about them and continued further.
"Now the announcements are over, so let's not delay the main event that all of you are waiting for."
"The list of your names and the value of your coin cards are already received by hero Lucifer, so it will depend on him who he wants to help as he can't help too many people," she concluded, and turned towards Li Wei.
"Hero Lucifer, please give me the list of people you have selected; I will announce them for you," she requested politely.
Hearing her, Li Wei nodded.
"Miss Alessia, there are more people than I was going to select; however, don't worry about anything; I know what I am doing," he replied calmly, giving her the list.
Alessia was surprised by his words, so she couldn't help but see how many people he had selected, and when she saw it, she was shocked.
(Mr. Li! You-) She wanted to say something, but she was cut off by Li Wei.
(Miss Alessia, I have six-times blessings, so don't worry. Also, I won't joke about my future just for some money,) Li Wei assured her through telepathy.
At first, he thought of only revealing a four-times blessing; however, he changed his mind when he saw how arrogant Skyler was.
He had already made enemies with four nobles, and he didn't know if more would follow suit.
Because of this he decided to reveal six-times blessings, so even if he wasn't a hero, the old man can protect him and his party.
As for getting targeted because of blessings, he will just throw the blame on Lucifer.
Not to mention 'Li Wei' wasn't the one who was impersonating Lucifer; it was his hero friend Li Tian.
So as long as he does not admit it, even the old man can't claim him being a hero or having six-times blessings.
This was the reason why he dared to reveal his blessings.
Nevertheless, it was enough to make Alessia shocked.
'Just which God is so powerful to give him so many blessings at one time, or is he chosen by two gods or more at the same time?' she thought, still feeling shocked over his revelation.
However, she didn't dwell on it further and looked at the crowd below, who thought she was reading the list.
She felt relieved that her actions didn't look abnormal; if not, she would've been embarrassed in front of everyone.
'It's all his fault,' she resented Li Wei in her heart before putting a beautiful smile on her face.
"Everyone, there is no need to be nervous because Hero Lucifer possesses six-times blessings, so most of you will be on the list," she explained with a smile and continued.
"Since it will take time to use coin cards and give you money, Hero Lucifer and I will be staying in a private room, calling you one by one."
"Until then, you can sit here and relax with some snacks and juice," she conveyed before taking Li Wei into a private room, where they both sat down behind the desk and without any nonsense called for the richest person in the city.
It was none other than the city lord Bernard.
"Haha, Hero Lucifer, we met again," the old man laughed heartily as he stroked his beard.
"Yes, we met again, city lord Bernard," Li Wei nodded in greeting as he beckoned him to sit.
The old man was happy and was just about to start chatting with him when he decided not to, as he sensed Alessia glaring at him coldly, indicating not to waste time.
'Sigh, today's girls are really making it hard for an old man like me,' he thought, feeling depressed as he wanted to befriend Lucifer.
Last time it was Irene who stopped him, and this time it was Alessia.
Nevertheless, he didn't complain and took out coin cards.
"Hero Lucifer, I have twelve 100-million-coin cards and three 100k-gold-coin cards," he presented with a proud look flaunting his wealth.
Even though he was just level 75, his wealth far surpassed any people will have at his level.
The reason was his status and old age of 100 years.
