Just then, she saw a few children playing on the streets with wooden blades and swords. One of the children holding onto a sword said, "I'm Fang Xingjian."
Another skinny and weak child, as well as a young Fatso, said, "I'm Fang Xingjian. I'm Fang Xingjian."
"You're Kaunitz!" The child holding onto the sword pointed to the skinny boy and young Fatso, saying, "You're Rebecca!"
"Beat them up!"
"Beat Kaunitz to death! Beat Rebecca to death!"
Looking at this scene, Rebecca was so infuriated that she almost fainted. It could be imagined that as a wanted criminal, it was impossible for Rebecca to retract her confession. Moreover, as Fang Xingjian's book continued to sell, more and more people would read this story.
What was even more foreseeable was that as Fang Xingjian's reputation grew, this book would also become more and more famous, and more and more people would read it. Rebecca and Kaunitz would probably be cursed for all eternity, going down in infamy for ten thousand years.
"Fang! Xing! Jian! "
Going down in infamy for ten thousand years … This was something that Rebecca had never thought of before. However, Fang Xingjian might really be able to write her name down in the annals of history.
Infamy.
'This can't be! This definitely can't be!' Rebecca clenched her teeth tightly. She was already someone who had one foot in her coffin. However, it was precisely because of this that she could not accept such a thing.
Right now, she had temporarily put aside the matter of taking revenge on Fang Xingjian. All she could think of in her mind was how to stop the spread of this book.
Therefore, she did not continue to flee outside. Instead, she took the risk and stayed behind.
That night, a car belonging to a bookseller slowly drove up to the opposite side of Ferdinand's house.
A middle-aged man with a face full of hardships was trembling all over. He spoke with a sobbing tone, "Sir, we've brought the place. It's right here."
"Ferdinand stays here?" Rebecca was covered in a black robe, and her countenance was extremely cold as she said, "He's the one who's supplying the goods."
"Yes … yes." Feeling the pressure on his body getting stronger, the man's heart beat faster and faster. "Sir, I'm just a book seller. Please let me go. I don't know anything."
"Book sellers?" Rebecca's expression was a little sinister as she said, "You are all helping the wicked! This is tampering with history! "
Under the pressure of the Reduced Force Field, the middle-aged man's eyes started to roll back, and many marks of strangulation appeared on his neck. His head tilted to one side, and he was strangled to death by Rebecca.
Rebecca's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the small villa before her. She had kidnapped a few booksellers before finding this place. Her main motive was to hold Ferdinand hostage and get him to buy back all the books that had not been sold.
In her mind, Ferdinand and the others were at most level 19 Knights. No matter what, they would not be able to match up to the battle prowess of an experienced level 19 Knight like her.
Moreover, the fact that she took action should have already been exposed. She did not know if the authorities had discovered that she was the one who took action. She had no more time to waste.
'I'll buy back as many as I can. I must make good use of the time, before the books are completely spread out.'
Just as Rebecca was thinking of this, she had already snuck into the darkness, slowly making her way toward the back door of Ferdinand's building.
'Ferdinand, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for standing on the wrong side.
'You guys want me to bear the infamy of a thousand years. This is too much.'
Rebecca put her hand on the handle of the back door. Her Reduced Force Field covered it bit by bit, and then with a little bit of force, she pried open the lock.
She slowly opened the door carefully, not daring to make any sound. Her Reduced Force Field encompassed an area of ten meters around her, freezing everything that she had noticed. This was all so that she would not make any sound.
She knew that her abilities were above Ferdinand's, but the other party was not alone. They were all level 19 Knights, and once the other party started to flee at full speed, it would be too disadvantageous for her if they were to give chase in the Great Western City.
Therefore, she was extremely careful, taking one step at a time toward the house. Hearing the faint sounds coming from the hall, she slowly got closer to the hall.
Five meters …
Four meters …
Three meters …
Two meters …
After turning the last corner, Rebecca dashed out fiercely. The Thunder and Fire Sword Qis in her hands were about to burst out, and her Reduced Force Field was fully encompassed. She had no intention of holding back at all. Other than Ferdinand, she wanted to kill everyone else she met.
However, the moment she dashed out, she saw Fang Xingjian, Ferdinand, Anthony, and Robert sitting in the hall. There was also a very, very old old man, whose face was filled with wrinkles and looked like a withered tree branch, also sitting in the hall.
In the midst of her astonishment, the old man glanced at her and pressed his palm down lightly. Rebecca's entire body was slapped onto the ground like a large pancake. Her muscles and bones were in excruciating pain, and she was like a mosquito frozen in amber, unable to move at all.
Head of Department James, who had casually pressed Rebecca onto the ground, smacked his lips and said, "Who is this old lady? She's quite fierce. "
Rebecca was using all of her strength to struggle crazily. Her expression was savage like that of a ferocious ghost, and she was indeed very fierce.
Fang Xingjian threw a glance at her and said casually, "She's just a fugitive. I'll just hand her over to the City Guards Institution later."
James did not think much of a woman who was at the level of a Knight. He let her go and continued the discussion, "Hehe, it's no wonder that you want to challenge the Killing Techniques Palace. Now that you've made a name for yourself, it'll be easy for your book to sell. "But looking at the contents of this book …"
"This book isn't sold to experts," Ferdinand said, feeling embarrassed. "It's purely for the sake of earning money and selling it to ordinary people. We'll continue to publish books that are meant for Knights in the future. "
James grinned and said, "It won't be a story book again, right?"
Ferdinand also smiled, "It'll be a book that teaches sword arts. But we'll continue to publish story books as well. They're selling quite well."
James asked nonchalantly, "How much did you sell them for?" All the books he had read before were all boring stories, and to him, there was no substance to them. However, there were a few new sword arts that he found to be quite good.
Moreover, each book was sold for 50 copper coins. To him, such a cheap thing would not be able to sell for much money.
Ferdinand shook his head and said, "We started the publicity a week ago, and up till now, we've sold a total of 30,000 books. That's 150 gold. How many days has it only been? "It's a pity that pirated versions have started to appear. There are already people in the suburbs who are copying our books and selling them. "Head of Department James, can you do something about this?"
"Copying books and selling them?"
"That's right. Those people use the worst quality toilet paper to copy our books. Then, we sell them for 50 copper coins, while they sell them for 25 copper coins. Basically, half of the market has been snatched up by them. "Sir, think about it. There are so many villages near the Great Western City, as well as several tens of towns. There are millions of people. Even if only 10% of them buy our books, it'll be worth several thousand gold coins. If we were to spread them across the entire country, it'd be worth at least several hundred thousand or even millions …"
James's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "I can only control the area within the Great Western Region at most."
Ferdinand smiled and said, "That's enough."
