Just a few days when Rudy was busy renovating the villa, an investigation report was produced about the fire in Glinton City.

Officials claimed that a homeless man set the rubbish dump on fire.

But that was just to fool ordinary people. The investigation results officially recognized by the kingdom confirmed that the Pod family deliberately set the fire.

In response, the kingdom's senior officials were furious and ordered a nationwide siege of the Pod family.

However, the Pod family received the news in advance, and all the apparent family members secretly moved away. Except for the confiscation of some properties left behind, this encirclement and suppression operation had no other results.

The other is Viscount Tyrese.

After confirming that the Pod family was the culprit of the fire, Viscount Tyrese resigned from the position of Speaker three days later, citing his health.

In addition, a large silver mine originally located in the west of Glinton City and owned by Viscount Tyrese was sold to an unknown mineral company for an unknown price.

The major shareholder behind this company is none other than the famous Archduke Francis of the Kingdom of Thorne.

Obviously, Viscount Tyrese's arrangement was exposed.

Not only did he personally have to resign as speaker, but he also paid the price of a large silver mine and asked Archduke Francis to help mediate among the top leaders of the kingdom, finally retaining the title passed down by his family.

Even so, Viscount Tyrese suffered heavy losses this time and became the biggest loser in the whole incident.

Rudy doesn't care about these high-level games and doesn't have much to do with him.

In addition to renovating his new house these days, he only went to the fire scene once today to confirm that the water tank buried underground was still there.

Because of the existence of extraordinary abilities, the fire scene had been almost cleared in less than a week, and the number of casualties was finally confirmed.

Among them, 214 people died and 1,720 were injured.

Property damage exceeded 400,000 gold pounds.

However, Rudy heard some not-so-good news at the scene.

It is said that someone in the city hall proposed to build a monument near the fire point to commemorate those who died in the fire.

This made Rudy's heart tremble. If this proposal is true, it will almost certainly be passed by the city hall if it is formally submitted to the parliament.

Building monuments to commemorate the victims is very common in the Kingdom of Thorne, and has even become a form of political correctness.

Anyone who objects is showing contempt and insult to the deceased.

Especially at this time, Viscount Tyrese took the blame and resigned. People in the Parliament were in panic. It was impossible for anyone to dare to oppose it. Moreover, it was just building a monument and it didn't cost a lot of money, so there was no need to object.

However, only Rudy knew that once construction of the monument began, excavation of the foundation would almost certainly lead to the underground tank being dug out.

Originally, he found that the water tank was still in the same place, and he was quite happy. He was planning to find a way to open it after the news of the incident was over.

But now it seems that if he is determined to build a monument, he will not have much time left.

Rudy returned home in a tangled mood. Now he had two choices, either to take the risk and start early, or to give up directly.

Returned home by carriage.

The butler Hegel heard the bell ringing to open the courtyard gate and came to the porch on the first floor in advance. When he saw the carriage parked, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Master, welcome home."

Rudy nodded expressionlessly and got out of the carriage.

Rudy was very satisfied with this experienced housekeeper who was in his forties. The only drawback was that his monthly salary of five pounds was already more than most mid-level officials in Glinton City.

In addition, there is Dante, the manservant who is responsible for cleaning the courtyard and feeding the dogs, Sigma and Zoe, the maids who are responsible for indoor hygiene and cooking, and Ludens, who is responsible for the carriage.

Rudy walked into the house, crossed directly over the seven-meter-high hollow living room, ignored the dazzling oversized crystal lamp that was lit, and walked quickly up the stairs to the study on the second floor. He had to think carefully, and then

Make a decision.

With a bang, the study door was closed.

Butler Hegel breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming here, he heard that he would serve a young baron, but he didn't take it to heart very much.

He's just a twenty-year-old kid. Even if he's a little willful, he can easily handle it.

However, when he actually faced Rudy, he was shocked to find that he was completely wrong.

Although this Baron is young, his aura is quite astonishing. Just looking at him can make him fear and lower his head subconsciously.

Fortunately, Rudy is usually very easy-going and not aggressive towards his subordinates like most nobles.

In fact, Butler Hegel didn't know that it wasn't that Rudy had an easy-going personality, it was just that he hadn't adapted to being served by others yet.

Unlike the nobles born and raised in this world, some people are even too lazy to wipe their own butts.

In the study, Rudy stood by the window with a cold face, watching the carriages passing back and forth on the street outside the wall, and his mind was filled with thoughts about building a monument.

First, the authenticity of this news must be confirmed.

If it is just a rumor, there is no need to consider it at all.

This matter is also very simple. If you go back to the Knights and ask, you will be able to find out almost everything.

The other thing is who is making the proposal and whether it is possible to stop it or whether it can be delayed.

In fact, Rudy didn't need to oppose the monument. All he needed was some time to get things out.

Thinking of this, Rudy suddenly said "Huh".

I found that something seemed to be missing when I got home.

"Where has that guy Shukaku gone?" Rudy responded.

Because it is an extracted pet, Shukaku will usually come to Rudy as long as he is at home.

But today, that fat, hairy guy didn't show up.

"Where have you gone?" Rudy tried to sense the other party's location through his soul connection with Shukaku, but unexpectedly discovered that Shukaku was not at home, or even within the limits of Greenton City!

"What's going on!" Rudy was shocked and concentrated on calling Shukaku.

He could feel Shukaku's presence, but the distance was very far and the contact was intermittent.

This made Rudy a little worried. Unexpectedly, Shukaku's excited cry came from his mind: "Meow~wahaha~boss, I found a good place. There are a lot of delicious things here!"

Rudy frowned, remembering the stone-like relief disk that Shukaku had eaten before, and asked: "Is it that kind of thing?"

Shukaku immediately replied: "Yes, that's the one. There are many here!"

"Where are you? How did you get there?" Rudy asked again, but he already had a guess in his mind.

"Meow~ Boss, I don't know where it is, it seems to be far away from you." Shukaku replied: "I just went to the attic on the roof for a walk, and then I was teleported here."
