Chapter 34 Kent is willing to lead the way
Chen Lun folded the newspaper, inserted it into the gap in the back of the bench, and left.
Perhaps the next resident who comes here to rest can learn about the recent major events in Amber City for free.
He looked at the sky and walked slowly towards No. 7 Denton Street where the flower shop was located.
On the way, he was still thinking about the connection between Representative Daniel and Dolly, and wanted to use this to find clues to Dolly's current location.
But after all, Dolly's assassination of the congressman will only happen two years later. There are too few clues at the moment to deduce it at all.
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
It's been two days since I arrived in Amber City, and I still haven't gained anything substantial.
"Hurry up...if it doesn't work, take the risk and go to the inner city to try it out."
There is sufficient security in the inner city, and there are shelters and various churches behind the scenes. The strength of Amber City's official extraordinary beings is not comparable to that of a small place like Emerald Town.
Chen Lun did not want to take risks unless he had no choice.
Returning to No. 7 Denton Street, he went straight upstairs and went home.
When he opened the door, he was suddenly startled.
He saw Floy chatting with a guest in the living room.
And this guest is Connie who lives downstairs.
"You're back."
Floy's ethereal voice said, with a hint of pleasure in her tone.
"This is...?"
Chen Lun poured himself a glass of water and glanced at Connie suspiciously.
The girl pursed her lips, looked up at him with some struggle, took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Jack, I...I think you must be short of a maid.
Miss Floy is blind and her daily life will be inconvenient...I should be able to help. ”
After Connie's initial interruption, she began to speak much more smoothly.
"And I can also clean for you, starch the clothes, and keep the room tidy...
I only need 2 silver coins every week, no, 1 silver coin and 50 copper coins is enough. ”
After speaking, Connie looked at Chen Lun expectantly.
Chen Lun frowned slightly. He and Floy hid too many secrets and were not suitable for close contact with ordinary people.
Connie was always paying attention to the dark-haired young man's expression, and her heart sank when she saw Chen Lun frowning.
Just when Chen Lun was about to refuse, Floy said:
"Connie lost her original job. She didn't want to trouble Mrs. Caroline because Mrs. Caroline helped her too much."
When Chen Lun heard this, he remembered what Kent said when he was beaten last night. Maybe Connie lost her job and was stuck with that guy.
He looked at Floy and thought it would be nice to have someone to chat with her. I believe that Efroi is smart and will not reveal matters about the mysterious realm to others casually.
"Aren't you still in class?"
Chen Lun asked as he sat down with a cup and drank water.
"I finish class at four o'clock every afternoon, and I will come here to clean on time. I can also go out with Miss Floy on the weekends."
Connie said anxiously.
"Well, then, I'll leave the hygiene to you from now on... I'll give you 2 silver coins as your weekly salary, okay?"
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Jack!"
Connie looked very happy. She stood up with her little hands clasped, and then looked at Floy.
"Thank you too, Miss Floy!"
Floy responded with a smile.
"Then shall I come over to work tonight? Mr. Jack?"
"Um, no need, come back tomorrow night."
Chen Lun felt that the girl in front of him had a change of vitality. She seemed to be a little decadent before.
Although he didn't want to dampen Connie's enthusiasm, he still needed to think about his next plan tonight and didn't want to be disturbed.
"Okay, Mr. Jack."
Connie curtsied to this man who looked younger than herself and left respectfully.
When going out, he gently closed the door.
Turning her head, Connie took a deep breath and smiled brightly.
At this moment, she felt extremely happy. After she lost her job, she felt that the world had fallen into darkness, but now there was a ray of light called hope.
The family doesn't have much money anymore, she still needs to go to school, and her father also needs to take the "nectar" from the Red Apple Church on a regular basis to sustain his life.
If you don't find a job soon, everything will only get worse.
She was full of gratitude to Mr. Jack, who brought her hope. At the same time, he also slightly changed his inherent impression of him. He no longer simply thought that he was a bastard who liked to bully others.
……
Water beach.
The courtyard of Flower and Bird Tavern.
Gary, the boss of the Iron Fist Gang, has just sent away a distinguished guest from the inner city, Butler Federman.
He looked gloomy at the moment, raised his thick arm and punched forward.
Bang! !
The straw hat spun and flew away, leaving a deep fist mark on the wooden stake in front of it.
"Damn it!"
Then he rushed forward and beat the wooden stake violently, as if he wanted to vent his inner annoyance.
"Money!"
Bang! !
"Artisan!"
Snap! !
"What's the use of urging me!? I'm already thinking of a way!"
Gary roared, jumped up, turned around and kicked with a whip. The powerful and heavy kick cut through the air and screamed.
Bang——! !
This kick directly uprooted the wooden pile and flew away with a roar.
"Boss, we're here."
A member of the gang in a leather jacket came closer and said in awe.
Gary turned around with a cold expression, and two more of his men approached him knowingly. One person brought him a cut cigar and lit it, and the other put a felt coat on him.
Then, two gang members carried a young man with a bruised nose and face to Gary and forced him to kneel down.
This man was trembling and did not dare to raise his head, but it was Chen Lun's neighbor Kent.
"The money is still not available, what do you think we should do? Well, Mr. Kent?"
Gary asked casually while smoking his cigar.
Kent kept shaking. He had just seen the scene where the leader of the Iron Fist Gang kicked the wooden stake away, and he was very scared.
"I...I have already made Connie lose her job. As long as you give me a little more time, I can definitely force her to work here!"
His tone was pleading.
Gary shook his head, as if he disliked Kent for being too slow, and seemed to have no expectations for this matter.
Kent was filled with despair.
He seemed to see the scene where the other party waved his hand the next second, and then he was dragged down, killed brutally, and thrown into the drainage ditch.
Perhaps due to his strong desire to survive, an idea flashed in Kent's mind.
"Boss Gary! There are two new foreigners in the building where I live. They look very rich!
One of the girls is very beautiful and blind... I can find a way to help you catch her! ”
Gary stopped smoking his cigar and stared at him silently.
Just when Kent was feeling uneasy, Gary spoke up:
"What are you going to do?"
Kent was delighted.
He thought for a moment and revealed his plan. (End of chapter)
