A Manual for Surviving a Weird World

Chapter 305 Godfather

Chapter 305 Godfather
The Milicato family is rather wild. Relying on the military support provided by the Dyke family, they dare to do any business, including the population business.

Fusolus is a bit obsessive-compulsive and a detail-obsessed person, pursuing perfection in everything he does.

In order to cultivate the most perfect “gift girls”, he spent a huge amount of money to purchase many real ancient castles all over Europe, many of which were national cultural relics protection units. Even the etiquette teachers who taught the girls were formal court ladies who had served in the royal family. He paid close attention to customer needs and strictly controlled quality.

The “gift girls” trained by Fusolus’ team are often more knowledgeable, talented and beautiful than real noble ladies. Therefore, many upper-class people who do not want to reveal their names are his loyal customers, including Van Dyke, who still has several unopened “gifts” in his mansion in Frankfurt – they are prepared to win over members of parliament.

The breathing light of Torino Red flickered three times, and the buyer from the opposite stand took the photo of Constantine.

The trembling and sobbing girl in the white dress in the center of the stage was quickly taken away and sent through the backstage passage to the master who bought her. Melodious flute music rang out in the empty opera house, and the next “gift girl” was pushed onto the stage. The screen in front of Ning Zhe also updated her new personal information and life photos.

There were clattering sounds of footsteps outside the curtain. Ning Zhe looked up and saw a man in a dark brown hunting suit and chestnut hair pulling open the curtain and walking in. He was the behind-the-scenes boss of the opera house, Fusolus Milicato.

“Good afternoon.” Ning Zhe nodded to him.

“Good afternoon.” Fusolus sat opposite Ning Zhe and glanced at Xia Yubing who was standing at the side of the stands: “I didn’t expect you to bring Ms. Xia here.”

“What, you’re not welcome?” Ning Zhe asked back.

“Of course you are welcome.” Fusolus laughed and said, “You have already met President Shen and Mr. Liu, right? How was the conversation with them?”

“The Orientals have shown their sincerity. The next focus will be on the ladies of the Frim family.” Ning Zhe gave an ambiguous answer and glanced at the bidding display on the screen.

The new girl on stage had a childish face. Her soft cheeks had some cute baby fat, which seemed to have hit the old man’s liking. The bidding from several stands was very fierce, and the girl was quickly bought.

“Elemia is a good girl. I have always been optimistic about her.” Fussule looked at the transaction price on the screen with a smile. It was much higher than his expectations, so he made a lot of money.

The slightly teasing words reached Xia Yubing’s ears, causing her to clench her fists unconsciously.

Ning Zhe silently gave her a “calm” look. Xia Yubing exhaled, slowly loosened her clenched fists, suppressed the urge to beat up the human trafficker Fusolus, and sat down next to Ning Zhe.

“I am tired of these vulgar women.” Ning Zhe waved his hand and said, “When will my lovely daughter appear?”

Xia Yubing’s eyes widened when he heard this: “What…”

“She’s the last one,” Fusolus said with a smile. “The best always comes last, right?”

Ning Zhe showed an expectant look on his face and nodded with satisfaction.

Noticing the surprised expression on Xia Yubing’s face, Fusolus explained, “I’m sorry to have misunderstood you, Ms. Xia. Fan doesn’t have any children. When we say ‘daughter’, we mean: goddaughter.”

Fusolus briefly explained the reason – VIP customers who spend a certain amount of money at the opera house can spend extra money to make requests to the “crew” to tailor a perfect girl for the customer. In addition, there is a paid service that allows customers to join the “crew” and pay to play the role of the girl’s father, uncle, brother, first love, prince charming, etc., so that the girl’s mental breakdown in front of the truth is more thorough, bringing a more joyful experience to her owner.

Fusolus talked eloquently, introducing the professional services provided by his professional team, with memories in his eyes: “After so many years, I wonder if you still remember what she looked like when she was first baptized.”

“Of course I remember.” Ning Zhe’s voice was tinged with complacency, and he said, “After all, I am her ‘godfather’.”

In Christian culture, “godparents” always play the role of guides and guardians. Newborns born in traditional parishes are generally baptized and become Christians within 100 days of birth. Their parents will choose a trustworthy couple as their child’s godparents, who will become their child’s religious guides and the second guardian besides their parents.

In addition to teaching religious knowledge to baptized children, if the child’s biological parents die unexpectedly or are unable to fulfill their obligation to support the child, the godparents are obligated to take over guardianship on behalf of the parents and raise the child.

In essence, this is a risk-resistance strategy developed by ordinary people to deal with accidents, similar to finding a godparent for a child to prevent the baby from being left on the streets after one dies.

Although in today’s context, godfather and godmother are not good words…

The last girl to appear today is Van Dyke’s goddaughter. When she was baptized in the church 16 years ago, Van Dyke swore on the Bible that he would take care of the child until she grew up and could support herself.

Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The fruits that were planted in the past have matured, and the young girls have grown into graceful young ladies. It is time to pick them.

Xia Yubing swallowed her saliva and forced herself to suppress the urge to vomit. Although she was mentally prepared for the depravity of the European nobles, such unethical and bestial behavior still made her feel physiologically nauseous.

While they were chatting and laughing, another girl was photographed by the buyer. The Turin Red breathing light flashed three times. Xia Yubing used the excuse of going to the toilet to escape from the stands and stood beside the toilet, retching continuously.

Was it because of sympathy for one’s own kind? Seeing the tears on the faces of these girls who were being sold as commodities reminded her of herself being used as a bargaining chip by her aunt to marry Yu Ziqian?

Or was it because of fear? Afraid that her life was just as meticulously designed as these “gift girls”… Or was it because her moral dignity as a human being ached in her heart, and she couldn’t bear to see living people being raised and slaughtered like livestock?

Maybe both, maybe neither, Xia Yubing herself couldn’t tell.

She reached under the faucet and turned it to cold water to wash her face. Then she wiped the water droplets off her face and walked back to the stands with difficulty.

Each “gift girl” needs to go through the most rigorous selection and be carefully trained by a professional team for more than ten years. Therefore, they are extremely rare and expensive. Every auction is full of wolves and little meat, and every “gift” is a hot commodity. Xia Yubing was away for only a short while, and the auction was already coming to an end.

A new personal information appeared on the screen in the center of the stands. It was that of a Persian girl with wheat-colored skin and long black hair that was as curly as seaweed. Her beautiful violet eyes were filled with a lake of sadness. As she staggered, she gently shook the water waves that moved people’s hearts.

Her name is: Elan Sally Sally Anvarna.

‘The Princess of Persia’.
