“How can I…Like this!” Vivian frowned and her breathing quickened.

One of the things that the little girl hated and hated the most was to hurt others to gain benefits for herself.

Seeing that Vivian’s emotions had been stirred up by him, Sima’s lips curled into a smile.

Tonight, she was going to teach this innocent and kind girl from the countryside a lesson.

He wanted to let the other party Imow that the first rule of survival in the upper class of Fire Code City was…Don’t be a good person!

“So, Vivian, do you understand? What you should do now is not to look for Miss Liz like a headless fly. You’re needed at a place right now…lt’s here!”

“You can’t let down the Earl’s efforts in organizing this fund -raising banquet, and you can’t let the underground forces behind the kidnappers succeed!

” Vivian, what you are carrying now is the hope of the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city. I don’t think Miss Liz would want to see you shatter the hopes of the tens of thousands of refugees because of her, right?”

Sima kept flattering Vivian.

In terms of controlling people’s hearts, it was true that a fledgling young lady

could not be compared to a wily noble.

As expected.

After hesitating for a while, Vivian finally chose the latter, which was to stay and host the donation banquet in place of Count Sisl!

“Don’t be afraid, Vivian. I’ll be with you as your assistant! ”

“Thank you, thank you so much, Sima. If it weren’t for you, I… I might really make the wrong decision and disappoint the Earl and Liz. “Vivian’s words came from the bottom of her heart.

Sima shook his head.

Don’t be like this, Vivian. Although we’ve only known each other for a short while, we’re still friends.

“Friend…We should help each other.”

With Sima’s encouragement, Vivian walked up to the stage that should have belonged to Count Sisre alone.

From this, it could be seen that the little girl had grown up.

If it was a village girl from the countryside, just the bunch of well-dressed nobles below the stage would be enough to scare her into weakness and make her speechless.

How could it be like this?

Vivian first used a simple sound amplification spell to force the nobles who were still discussing the kidnapping of the earl’s daughter to be silent. Their voices were drowned out by the little girl.

After attracting everyone’s attention, Vivian revealed her identity. Since the earl could not attend, she would temporarily replace him. This time, no one doubted the little girl. The release of the magic just now was enough to prove it.

The first step was a success. Vivian secretly cheered herself on.

Then, she began to explain to the nobles below the stage what she had observed today, the difficult environment of the refugees outside the city, the urgent need for help from the city, and her, Vivian, as the person in charge of the reconstruction work, her firm determination and conviction.

From the looks of it, the effect seemed to be quite good. At least the nobles below the stage were still listening. Their gazes were all focused on the little girl. They did not stand up and leave immediately or yawned.

Of course, how many of them were concerned about the situation of the refugees outside the city, or were they just curious about Vivian, the rising star of Fire Code City, or were they observing her? Adoration? That was unknown.

But the good times don’t last long.

Or rather, it was an inevitable outcome.

At the end of Vivian’s speech, when she mentioned the most crucial ‘donations’ and ‘money’, under the little girl’s expectant and hopeful gaze, only a few young nobles were willing to donate a sum or two selflessly.

As for the rest, especially the older nobles who were truly rich and powerful, they seemed to have made an agreement. They were indifferent and quietly drank their tea.

However, the silence was not their goal.

Soon, a representative who should have been arranged by the Sacred Hall spoke on behalf of the others. It was very simple.

I don’t trust him.

There was no doubt that Vivian was good at fighting. She was indeed very strong, but they were doubtful about her ability to manage the donation funds, whether she would be corrupt, whether she could use the money well, and whether she was qualified to lead the reconstruction work.

No one wanted their money to go down the drain. This was human nature.

Vivian could understand and had already thought of this situation.

However, no matter what the little girl said, the nobles below the stage were unmoved. At this time, it was Sima’s turn to appear.

Sima exchanged glances with a few nobles who had made an appointment with him in advance…

She looked as if her friend couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to go on stage to help Vivian.

After walking onto the stage, Sima first cursed the nobles.

The lines were similar to the guard’s. They were probably saying that they were all blind. How could Vivian not be competent? She could definitely do it, and so on.

However, in the end, Sima pretended to be angry and said to the nobles below the stage,

“Humph, how do you want to believe Vivian? Do you have to force her to sign a gambling contract with you before you’re willing to give up??

As soon as Sima said this, the few nobles who had secretly agreed on it immediately stopped being silent and spoke..
