Chapter 496 The factory owner is not a human being
At the Eye of Truth factory in the Concession area, Jacob was directing workers to clean up the dilapidated factory building.
"Take down the broken power box. New equipment will be shipped in later. This broken one can be sold as scrap!"
The workers worked hard all day long.
The factory exploded, the boss was replaced, and the magicians who liked to wave whips were gone. The workers were a little nervous, but as long as the factory provided meals, they would not leave.
Jacob breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the workers were relatively honest.
"Is the hero not here yet?"
Jacob turned around and asked the assassin who was supervising him.
Emma, who is responsible for monitoring Jacob, is also responsible for maintaining contact.
Emma took out a magic disk from her arms and, according to Amber's instructions, turned the switch of the magic disk to the start position.
"Hey, Master, the hero hasn't come to join us yet, will there be any problems?"
The communicator made of amber will cause serious interference when multiple people are communicating, but there are not many people who have this kind of communicator, so the interference can be ignored for the time being.
Li's response soon came from the communicator held by Emma.
"What could go wrong with a hero? He hasn't arrived yet, so he must be out having fun somewhere!"
The communication was interrupted, and Li had no patience to care about the whereabouts of the hero. He was busy giving Lian a massage.
Emma, whose call was disconnected, shrugged at Jacob.
"You also saw that the young master doesn't care about this matter at all~"
Jacob could naturally hear the rapid breathing on the other end of the communicator, and he really wanted to curse!
I was busy repairing the factory and preparing for the next action, but Li was just lying around at home!
"I don't care where the hero is, but where is Ethan? Ethan just resurrected, and I don't want to lose him again!"
Just when Jacob was in a bad mood, the brave man appeared holding Ethan.
Ethan was held in the brave man's arms like a princess, with his hands drooping, exactly the same as when he fell into Jacob's arms that day.
Jacob was horrified and rushed to the hero and put his finger under Ethan's nostrils.
He was breathing. Ethan was just asleep, not as Jacob had feared.
"…Jacob, I didn't expect you to care so much about this kid~"
The brave man returned Ethan to Jacob and stuffed a bunch of toys he had bought during the day into Jacob's arms.
Ethan played with the brave man and fell asleep due to exhaustion. In his dream, Ethan was still murmuring words like "brother brave man".
Jacob was very upset. He felt that his love for the child was in vain.
Jacob put Ethan, who was talking in his sleep, on the wooden box next to him, and pulled the hero to discuss the next course of action.
"Lee arranged for us to perform a play to create an excuse for the Brotherhood's actions. Don't mess it up!"
"As for acting, I haven't done anything else in the past two years. I've been studying acting~"
"That's good. Remember to be gentle when you fight me!"
After the brave man met with Jacob, they each made preparations according to the script.
Jacob was the first to take action. He gathered the workers in the factory and held a general meeting for them.
The workers, with confused faces, brought small stools and sat in a row on the open space. Jacob stood in front of them and gave them instructions in a hoarse voice.
"You damned bunch of peasants, do you still remember how those magic masters whipped you?"
The workers shrank their necks, as if a whip would hit their heads at any moment.
"You still remember how many people died in the previous production!"
The workers' hearts tightened as the scene of their companions dying tragically in the machine kept flashing back in their minds.
"Do you still remember the hard days when you worked so hard but got nothing in return?"
The workers huddled together in fear, not knowing how their new master, Jacob, would torture them.
Seeing that he had intimidated the workers, Jacob waved to his men and asked them to push over a flatbed cart full of food.
A large pot of stew with spices and meat pieces adds heat and aroma.
The brave workers raised their heads and tried hard to catch the fragrance in the air.
"You see these foods, right? As long as you follow my instructions, you will have meals like this every day from now on!"
The workers looked in disbelief, but then they saw Jacob's men actually start distributing plates and delicious food.
As the workers wolfed down a satisfying meal without the whip falling on them, they all looked at each other in admiration.
At this moment, Mr. Jacob is their God!
"As you know, there was a serious accident in the factory. It will take at least one or two months to resume production. During this time, I want you to leave the factory and work outside!"
"Oh, Mr. Jacob! Let's not leave!"
"Yes, Mr. Jacob, you are our master, please don't chase us away!"
The workers were terrified and thought they were having a farewell dinner.
"Be quiet! Why are you making so much noise? You are still my workers, and I will still provide you with food. I just want you to change the way you work!"
Jacob personally trained the workers for five days according to the plan given by Li. Only then did these workers, whose brains were rusty, finally figure out what they were supposed to do.
Five days later, in the early morning, workers filed out of the Eye of Truth factory.
After they left the factory, they immediately split up into small groups and integrated into the gradually awakening city.
In the hospital run by the saint, Maria patrolled her territory like a lion.
Accompanying her was Sister Teresa, who was on loan to her.
In the past few days, Maria once again played the trick that Li had used before. Theresa hid behind the scenes, casting the magic of light to resurrect the dead soldiers, while Maria stood in front of the stage, gaining the admiration and praise of the crowd.
At first, Maria felt unworthy of it, but in recent times, Maria has gradually gotten used to acting mysteriously in front of the crowd.
"You, a pious saint, have also been corrupted by Li. This world is really rotten~"
"Theresa, don't say that. At least I did provide them with medical care and helped alleviate their pain!"
Maria and Theresa, each holding a cup of soy milk for breakfast, chatted while checking various areas of the hospital.
When we arrived at the main entrance of the hospital, the front door, which used to be clean and tidy, was now crowded with people.
Are you here to cause trouble?
No, it looked like something was going on.
Maria and Theresa squeezed through the crowd and looked at the new thing surrounded by the crowd.
I saw two workers, who were dressed in rags and looked very miserable, telling about their unfortunate experiences.
"Who can come and make the decision for us? The Eye of Truth factory is not a humane place!"
"It was agreed that I would be paid a day's wages, but in reality I was whipped a day's work!"
"Factory owners are slave owners. They really don't treat us as human beings~"
The two workers competed with each other, constantly mocking and cursing the unscrupulous Eye of Truth Factory.
Their expressive performance stunned the spectators.
