The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 571: steadily

The "Lighthouse Evening News" successfully squeezed into the "10,000 copies club", exceeded the goal of balance of payments, and achieved a small surplus. Sean's revision of the evening paper has achieved initial results without increasing staff.

He certainly doesn't stop there.

Sean's determination to enter the newspaper industry was not based on the idea of ​​"a little rich is a safe bet".

His goal is to become an influential media tycoon as a newspaper owner.

This means that he has to keep improving in this industry, breaking through the daily sales of 50,000 to 100,000 all the way until he competes with industry giants such as "New Testament Times", "Wall Street Journal" and "Glory City Post" …

He believed that, with the Evening Post under his management, that day would not be very far off.

Sean also felt particularly comforted and euphoric by the fact that the newspaper staff, including Mr. DiPres, showed high fighting spirit. He returned home with such a good mood.

I came back late, and I didn't expect to meet my sister who had just returned home downstairs.

Alia adjusted her glasses, carried her bag across her shoulders, and had a slightly tired smile on her face.

She has been promoted to a full-time teacher at the grammar school, and her daily work has become a little busier.

Not only that, but she is preparing for her second collection of poems, and she has to close the door to work overtime after returning home every night.

Both siblings are so busy, but both remember to remind each other to take a good rest.

In the process of going upstairs, Sean told Aaliya what happened in the newspaper office one day with a happy mood.

Emotions are contagious. When Aaliyah learned that the daily sales volume of the newspaper had stabilized at 10,000 and that she had finally earned an advertising agency fee, she was radiant with joy, and her fatigue seemed to have subsided a lot.

"Sean, I knew you could do it!" Although she didn't tell her brother, Aaliyah also read the articles attacking Sean in the newspapers a few days ago.

In order not to distract her brother, Aaliyah sweetly didn't mention the incident, pretending to be ignorant of the newspaper dispute.

However, in fact, she was very uncomfortable in her heart——

She knew what kind of person her brother was, so she couldn't understand those people's abuse and attacks on him.

Not only that, but some teachers in the grammar school also knew about the war of words between the newspapers. Some people in the school were willing to believe those people's evaluation of Sean, and even pointed at Aaliyah behind his back...

This is what really chills her.

In those few days, for the first time, she felt the loneliness and terror of being in a foreign land.

She felt that she and Sean were like beasts forced to hide in caves by hunters holding torches, like unwelcome strangers, as if there were always strange eyes on them along the way...

Her rationality told her that it was all an illusion.

But she just couldn't help thinking that.

However, that time passed after all.

As it turns out, Sean was right.

It turns out that Sean was right about reforming the newspaper!

Sales and word of mouth have effectively responded to those people's unprovoked attacks.

Not only that, but she knew that Sean would create even more dazzling results and slap those people in the face...

Thinking of this, the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart were fully released, and Aaliyah's brows that were a little depressed were also relaxed.

It was late at night, and Aaliyah, who had finished writing poetry that night, washed up, said good night to Sean, and went into her room with a yawn.

Sean also walked into his room and sat on the single sofa in the corner.

Usually at this time, he will take out a book to read, and the book he is reading recently is "Public Opinion" by Lippmann.

Many viewpoints in this book made him feel suddenly enlightened.

However, tonight, he did not pick up the book on the table, but adjusted his sitting posture and fell into a state of meditation.

After Sean's heartbeat slowed down, his attention was on Shawshank Rogers.

At this moment, Shawshank is not in the black mansion.

He is now in the workshop of Fisher Miner's Equipment Factory, and sitting in front of him are more than forty faces illuminated by candlelight.

Another rally about Ms. Hershey's beliefs.

However, this secret gathering is a bit different. As Shawshank said at the last meeting, the main purpose of this time is to select the four most devout and the greatest contributors to go to the "temple" to pay homage to Ms. Hershey .

What is worth celebrating is that, the day before this rally, the number of Ms.'s followers also just exceeded 100.

The power of faith provided by a hundred people has once again boosted Hershey's divine power that cannot be ignored.

At this time, Olivia Fengling stood on the roof of the factory building under the cover of darkness.

As the protector of this gathering, she is faithfully fulfilling her mission.

The crystal red eyes were covered by metal eyelids as thin as cicada wings, and crimson bonds spread from her body, covering the entire block like a big net.

This large network of perception is connected to the seven hidden golden sparks distributed in a circle, combined with Ms. Hershey's power, everything that happens in the entire block is completely grasped by Olivia.

Sean didn't start the ceremony until the pair of correctional officers patrolling the street corner had walked away.

Today's protagonists are four people, namely Henry Hart, a single father living in the lower city, Harman, a black laundryman, and the Hopman couple living on Bailisi Street.

The four of them are the first four "Immortal Silver Flames" born in the Night Breeze belief. Compared with other believers, they have linked their lives to this belief.

After that, they experienced the resonance caused by Sean using the oath torch to destroy the Wendigo, and witnessed the legendary scene described in "The Long Poem of the Night Wind": the goddess used the fire to drive away the beasts on a winter night...

Thereby further deepening the induction and faith.

Traditional beliefs will also teach people to be good, but what is criticized is that as beliefs deepen, people will become closed or paranoid.

But the faith Sean created was different.

While the Night Breeze Faith blessed the believers, it also soothed their restless hearts (this was also what Sean promised to give them).

And when their souls are finally at peace, each reveals their amazing potential...

Henry Hart, the single father who used to be anxious all the time, is sitting quietly at this moment. Due to the deepening of his faith, his soul is connected with the believers, and his demeanor has become completely different.

When dealing with church affairs, he was conscientious and handy, not only made Night Breeze believe in order, but also improved the lives of himself and his daughter~lightnovelpub.net~The laundryman Haman was illiterate before, but due to her deepening belief, she Make up your mind to be able to read "The Long Poem of the Night Wind" thoroughly.

From there she began to learn the alphabet and the rules of phonics. So far, in just a few months, she has read half of "The Long Poem".

Gaining the ability to read seems to open the door to a new world. This burly black woman recently even started reading the newspapers in the laundry room, and even chatted with people about labor rights and unions...

The change in temperament of the Hopmans is minimal—they themselves appear earthy and composed.

During this time, they contributed the highest amount of enlightenment. Fourteen believers came out of the little house on Belize Street.

Since the last angler incident, they have become more cautious, and the number of enlightenment has decreased slightly.

However, as her faith deepened, Mrs. Hopman had some extraordinary abilities. She found that she could tell whether the other party was sincere or not.
