Chapter 538 Threatening Letter

Betsy left the office and went out to count the number of people.

"President, in addition to Alice and I, there are twenty sisters who are enthusiastically signing up."

Luna asked, “Are only twenty?”

"The customer is paying high prices, and we also need to provide high-quality services for our professional ethics." Betsy replied, "So according to the grading standards of the Maid Association, apprentices and junior maids are not considered. At least they can register if they are intermediate maids."

Alice said, "If it weren't for the intermediate maid, I wouldn't be confident to show my nobleness and coolness."

"Yes." Becky was a little angry, "Even though those who came to our association were all persecuted and insulted sisters, but many people just dare not hate the nobles."

"Hey, these children's psychological qualities are still not that strong." Luna said sadly. "When those workers parade, their favorite thing is to smash the noble houses that serve as officials and MPs. No matter what title you are in the UK, you will inevitably be thrown bricks and eggs."

Alice asked in confusion, "Will any nobleman really be impacted?"

"The most prominent noble in Britain now is the Duke of Wellington. Think about why he was called the Duke of Iron?"

"I know this." Becky immediately interjected, "Duke Wellington is a conservative. I heard that during the mass demonstration, his mansion was smashed very hard, so he had to change the windows to iron blinds, and since then he has the nickname of Iron Duke."

"That's because they are so crowded that they gather to protest to the nobles, of course it's different." Alice said, "but our maids often entertain more noble guests than us at the grand occasion."

Betsy nodded, "Well, if we go to the parade one day, just throw a few rotten eggs, and the picture must be very beautiful."

"Don't." Luna shook her hand, "What are we joining in? Those workers' parades have never proposed that women should have the power to run and run, so it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, Becky, don't be impulsive." Alice advised, "Workers are all working in the factory. They usually rarely meet nobles. And our maids deal directly with nobles in daily life. Just have the opportunity to show a little noble and elegant. If they smash someone's house, they will offend them too harshly."

"I'm just talking." Becky rubbed his nose. "By the way, President, when I went out just now, I saw a letter to you on the door."

Luna took it apart and saw a pool of blood-red colors on the letter paper.

"Ahhh!" Becky was shocked immediately, "Is this the legendary threatening letter?"

Luna was also stunned: I gave up on this despicable method of the underworld style, why did someone send a threatening letter to a maid?

Alice asked nervously, "President, what did the letter say?"

"Nothing." Luna finished reading soon, "Someone asked me to disband the Maid Association. Otherwise I would encounter any unexpected consequences."

"Who sent it?"

"Spring-legged Jack." Luna shook her head, "I don't know what kind of guy she is."

Becky was shocked, "Spring-legged Jack? That's a demon!"

Alice asked in confusion, "Becky, what does this mean? Why did even the demon come out?"

"That was a vicious monster that appeared in 1837, which shocked the whole of London. Don't you know?"

"I don't know." Alice admitted honestly. As a young girl from the countryside, she naturally would not know a thing about London nearly ten years ago.

"In 1837, a mysterious bad guy appeared on the streets of London. He attacked the young woman everywhere in the middle of the night, and the police had no way to catch him." Betsy told her, "According to witnesses, this bad guy has amazing strength and magnitude. He can jump onto the roof with a light jump, his sharp claws can tear the steel, and can spray blue and white flames from his mouth..."

"What, can you actually spray flames?" Alice was very scared, "Is she really a terrible devil?"

"And," Luna said dismissively, "There are flames in her mouth and any street magician will perform."

Betsy said dissatisfiedly, "So, is it also magic to be able to jump onto the house with a spring leg?"

"That might require a little real skill."

"That's right." Alice said, "so many policemen can't catch him, which shows that this guy is really amazing. But what I can't figure out is why he threatened our association to disband?"

"What can't figure out about this?" Luna said, "I ask you, who is the one who most wants our association to dissolve?"

"Does this still have to be thought about?" Becky said immediately, "Of course they are those noble masters."

"Why?"

"Those so-called seniors can use work evaluation and judicial system to control us at will." Becky said angrily, "But you have organized an association to protect our rights, stand up for us, train us, and open up a steady stream of job opportunities. It is a good thing for us maids or the entire society. The only thing that is unhappy is naturally those guys who think they have completely controlled us."

"That's right." Alice nodded, "There will definitely be many nobles who have deep malice towards the president."

Betsy said, "If these nobles were to destroy our association, it would be easy to guess what methods were used."

Alice asked, "What do you mean?"

"Our maid association is a formally registered industry organization, and they have no legal way to destroy it," Betsy explained. "So, they can only use threats in threatening letters. If we do not surrender, we will definitely use the means of not seeing the light in the future."

"A means of not being able to see the light?" Alice was sweating a little, "What the hell is it?"

"For example, kidnapping, assassination, arson..."

"Do those nobles who claim to be noble and upright will do these things?"

"This kind of thing is so common. What kind of nobleness and integrity is just a self-proclaimer." Luna scoffed, "In the United States, white people who claim to be higher civilized people have organized the 3KKK party to persecute them in order to prevent blacks from gaining equal rights with them.

Betsy nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, the nobles can't stand our maids to obtain equal rights. Just like whites can't stand blacks to have equal rights. So they will definitely use corresponding extreme means to deal with us."

Luna said, "Extremists exist in any group, and they often act in some significant exaggerated images. If their reputation is too bad, they can still be cut out at any time."

Alice began to understand at this time, "What do you mean is that spring-legged Jack, who is the extreme nobleman who doesn't like us?"

"Do you think the spring leg is just a simple psychopath?" Luna sighed. "Threat the dissolution of the Maid Association is actually a political requirement, which has risen to the point where one group maintains a sense of superiority to another, not to satisfy the perversion of a single individual, which is enough to illustrate the truth behind it."

Becky woke up and said, "So, to carry out those kidnappings and assassinations, you must have a guy with a reputation, strong strength, and like a demon to be shocking. Spring-legged Jack is indeed the best candidate."

"What should we do?" Alice said in panic. "Spring Leg Jack has sent the threatening letter. Should we call the police?"

"The police had no choice but to do anything to him back then. What's the use of calling the police now? Anyway, he came for me, so you don't have to be involved."

Luna waved her hand, "So, Alice and Betsy, you bring the twenty sisters who have registered, and now to the Marquis's estate."

Betsy asked, “Where are the other sisters in the association?”

"It's winter now. Everyone doesn't have to come to the association every day. I'll give each person a living expenses and let them come back after the winter."

Alice guessed, "Are we going to pretend to disband? Stay away from the limelight for months?"

"Where has it been disbanded? As long as you all leave, the spring-legged Jack will not involve more people when he comes to the door."

"Wait, President!" Becky said in surprise, "As far as you are concerned, do you want to stay alone?"

"Yes." Luna nodded. "If we really disband, the spring-legged Jack wouldn't come to the door. Besides, if there were no people here, the unemployed sisters who were famous for coming to our association for help would not be able to get living expenses."

"What you are thinking about is completely wrong!" Alice shouted.

Luna said strangely, "What's wrong?"

"How could you deal with that devil alone?" Alice said excitedly, "He will kill you!"

"Who said he can kill me?" Luna snorted, "Sister has also practiced since she was a child and is proficient in various self-defense techniques."

The two maids frowned together, "Can your self-defense skills be able to deal with the demons?"

"How could there be really demons in this world?" Luna shook her head, "Didn't we discuss it just now? That spring-legged Jack is just a nobleman with extreme ideas."

"But his power is beyond doubt." Betsy opposed, "Some noble ancestors may be extremely brave knights, and they have had the feat of killing dragons and hunting demons. As long as they inherit powerful martial arts, they may be stronger than the devil's combat power."

"Why did you say this?" Luna was shocked. "Do you really believe that the medieval knights had killed dragons and destroyed demons?"

"I have heard these legends since I was a child. The powerful power and martial arts of those knights are as we imagined."

"Then why did the Crusades not succeed in one time? Why did they lose the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula in the face of Islamic countries? Why was it a complete defeat in front of the Huns and Mongols?"

Becky blinked, "Because there are also equally powerful warriors in the other party's camp."

"All right."

Luna decided to solve this trouble soon, "So, why did such a powerful knight class slowly die out?"

"Well, it seems to be crushed by a firearm."

"That's right." Luna took out a musket from the drawer of her desk, "I have a firearm here, you can leave with confidence." (To be continued.)
