Chapter 87 The Death Knight is a hammer!
“I love Dawn!”
"I love Dawn——"
A team of thirty or fifty people came from nowhere, holding homemade bulletin boards, and walked along the street telling the story of the glorious achievements of Dawn Detective Agency and the law firm.
The detective agency was established not long ago and has already reached long-term cooperation with several newspapers. It has specially contracted a section to publish unpretentious evidence and bravely expose the darkness and injustice of society.
The scope of the attack is extremely wide, from social gangs at the bottom, to tax thieves who neglect their duties at the middle level, to officials such as congressmen at the upper level. Wherever there is a commission, there are conclusive investigation results.
Under normal circumstances, such ignorant detective agencies and law firms would not last long. They would only be open for three to five days before they would be closed for rectification for one reason or another.
However, Dawn Detective Agency still managed to survive and set off a huge discussion in Lundan.
Several churches remained silent, unwilling to face the Death Knight. Official threats and intimidations were blocked by Abo and Officer Green who took the blame. He would expose anyone who dared to obstruct Abo's justice.
Qualified people avoid suspicion and don't want to be bitten by dogs, while unqualified people can't afford to offend them for fear of being bitten to death by dogs. As a result, no one dares to touch this shit-stirring stick until now.
This rapidly blowing strong wind swept across the streets and alleys, and accumulated a large number of supporters among the grassroots people, especially those poor people who had no way to appeal. A desperate free aid was exchanged for tears.
When these people are serious, they are much tougher than the believers of the Goddess of Death who are greedy for life and fear death.
For example, the parade team that Wayne saw was organized voluntarily by the recipients. They have work and are very busy, but in order to express their gratitude, they come every day to help promote the project.
((;)
In the car window, two faces silently watched the parade team go away.
Veronica held her breath and concentrated. According to her guess, there were believers of the goddess of death in the team. They had expanded rapidly recently and attracted a large number of ignorant people.
A drop of cold sweat fell on Wayne's forehead. As far as he knew, in this era of confusing beliefs, there was a guiding ideology with extremely firm beliefs.
Especially in Windsor, this guiding ideology is very popular among the nobility, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as widespread.
I won’t go into details, just try it with a sickle and a hammer.
Wayne was thinking further than Veronica. Just now, the scene in front of him flashed. The followers of the Goddess of Death tore off their black robes and shouted for everyone to unite.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but... it should be a matter of time..."
"This is the case in the affluent West Side. The South Side and East Side, where the working class is concentrated, are going to go to heaven!"
Oh my god, the Queen will not be overthrown and reduced to working as a maid to make a living, right?
Wayne shivered, and another hallucination appeared in front of his eyes. This time the person wearing black robes was no longer a believer, but the goddess of death, holding a reaper scythe.
As for the hammer...
The death knight is a hammer!
“What are you doing there?”
Veronica looked at Wayne dissatisfied, shaking and shaking disloyally, and the car started to shake.
"Nothing, let's go to the detective agency, uh, I mean Wayne Detective Agency."
"Otherwise, do you still want to join in the fun with the death believers?"
Veronica curled her lips. Wayne was a believer in the goddess of nature. If he dared to reveal his identity, he would definitely be swarmed with sticks.
Wayne hummed twice, indicating that the eldest lady was right, and the two entered the Wayne Detective Agency, which was still under renovation.
The decoration project was contracted by the decoration company of the Landau family. The main focus is on quick, good and economical. The store will be renovated based on its original appearance and will be officially opened soon.
The detective agency is divided into three floors. The first floor is the lobby and reception center.
The second floor is the reception room, staff offices, and executive meeting rooms; the third floor is the boss and assistant offices, plus a warehouse and an independent green plant potting room.
Office supplies have been placed on the second and third floors. Only the first floor is still undergoing final decoration. When Wayne moves his detective agency here, it can be opened at any time.
Wayne stood by the window and looked across the street helplessly: "If I guess correctly, this street must belong to your home, right?"
"hold head high."
I knew it!
"Then the question is, why did you choose the location of the detective agency opposite the Death Church's stronghold?" Wayne was puzzled: "Assistant Wei, did you secretly hook up with the Death Church behind my back?"
Veronica rolled her eyes. She was also puzzled by this matter. The blatant activities of the Death Cultists were already outrageous. What was even more outrageous was that they were able to take down the Landau family's commercial street store.
Where did the money come from and who sponsored him? Don't say it was Mr. Landau, otherwise his mother would definitely make him kneel down.
Veronica frowned and was full of doubts. At first, she didn't know the origins of Dawn Detective Agency, she just thought it was an ordinary competitor.
It didn't matter, she wasn't afraid of competition, and she didn't expect Wayne to make a return on the detective agency anyway.
Later, I learned from Willie that the opposite side is the stronghold of the Death Cultists, and jumped to the stage of questioning life.
Why?
Wayne probably knew some of the reasons and continued to tease Veronica. The latter was very cute when she frowned and racked her brains, but she didn't look very smart at first glance.
She's beautiful, has a rich family, and is stupid. It's perfect.
After a long while, Veronica thought to no avail and could not give Wayne a reasonable explanation. She started to divert attention and reminded Wayne that the Detective Agency was opening and that he himself had to register with the White Glove Association and pay a membership fee. .
"What is the White Glove Association? Why do I have to give them money when I open a business?" Wayne didn't understand. In his hometown, people only receive red envelopes for opening businesses.
"The White Gloves Association is Lundam's detective association. As a detective, you don't even have this bit of common sense, right?" Veronica raised her eyebrows. Chrissy, who writes detective novels, knows this.
"Of course I know this..."
Wayne picked up the topic smoothly and raised his eyebrows in response: "I just think it doesn't matter whether you add it or not. It's not easy for you to ask for money from your family. There is no need to waste it in vain."
"I didn't ask for it, it's all interest on pocket money."
"..."
Wayne stopped saying anything. It was his fault. Next time he uses saving money as an excuse, he will be a hammer!
"Let's do this. When the detective agency is renovated, we will have a small party on the third floor." Veronica is looking forward to it very much. When she becomes an assistant, she will give Willy a salary and ask him to come over and become her assistant. Clerk.
It's a pity that the senior sister is still studying in the college and has no idea of entering the society to work. Otherwise, the three of them will work hard together. Just thinking about it would be worth looking forward to.
"It's okay with me, just don't break the appointment this time."
"hehe."
Veronica's expression changed, she grabbed Wayne's collar and pushed him against the wall: "I get angry when I talk about this. You obviously broke the appointment, but I'm the only one apologizing. No, see you next time." You must apologize to both of them in person, especially Chris, for missing her birthday!”
"Okay, I'll drink two more drinks then to make amends."
Wayne nodded seriously. As far as he knew, small gatherings like this usually had reserved events such as Truth or Dare or The Queen's Game.

"What, you said you can't do it?"
In the office, Alston held the phone and said dissatisfiedly: "The Free Mage Alliance has a large number of research projects every year. I have never rejected them when applying for grants. It is difficult for you to issue a certificate now. If you do this, it will be difficult for me in the future." Let me help you speak!"
"Mr. Alston, don't be angry yet."
On the other side of the phone, Plank did not get carried away when faced with the unexpected surprise, and calmly analyzed: "The magician apprentice Wayne you are talking about, I know who he is, your wife, a student of the high priest of the Church of Nature, Right?"
Auston's face turned cold, Plank knew too much.
"Please don't get me wrong, I didn't deliberately focus on the Landau family, but I learned about it by accident..." Plank told the story of the unlucky Sidney, and said: "Because of this unexpected encounter, I happened to save A lucky man named Wayne was affected by the battle and almost died there. "
"What a pity."
"Mr. Alston, it seems you are very prejudiced against him!"
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to tell me whether it works or not."
"In principle it's definitely not possible."
Plank continued: "The High Priestess attaches great importance to her students. Even I can't offend her for no reason. It has nothing to do with money, no matter how much the price increase is. The key is that I need an excuse, Mr. Alston, Can you arrange an excuse for me to avoid the wrath of the high priest?"
After saying that, Planck, who was holding the phone, raised the corners of his mouth and secretly said something interesting.
Wayne, we are meeting again!
"You are an expert on how to arrange it. After talking for a long time, the sponsorship fee is still too small. Let me tell you directly, how much funding are you planning to apply for next year?" Auston flatly refused. He approached Planck because he didn't want to If you offend Xifei, how can you take the blame on yourself?
So, he chose to add money.
"Mr. Alston, I heard that the Queen's warehouse contains some ancient artifacts from the mythical era. Can you see if you can..."
"impossible!"
"Mr. Alston, the Free Mage Alliance is the shield and sword of the royal family. It restricts religious sects for the royal family. We have neither merit nor suffering..."
"This is impossible!"
Auston interrupted again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I won't give you an excuse, but I will find a way to transfer Wayne out of Lundam to give you a chance to get him, and next year's funding will not be a problem. "
"Thank you for your generosity."
After Plank finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stroking his stiff beard and having a great time.
Auston doesn't need to ask, he will go to Wayne in a few days. Now that he's done, he's got an opportunity to double his funding next year.
A critical illness notice was out of the question. Auston wanted to beat Wayne to death with a stick. This was not in line with Plank's expectations. He had another way to make Auston pay.
Plank took out the prop box and rummaged through it, sifting through the small items one by one: "Darkness, death and nature are opposites. Just prove to him that Wayne has been contaminated and is no longer a devout believer in nature..."
"Which one is better?"
After some careful consideration, Gangplank held the dark ring: "Kid Wayne, I helped you solve such a big trouble, plus the previous life-saving grace, twice in total. How should you thank me?"
"Don't worry, if the old man has any bad intentions, I won't put any conditions, and I don't need you to be my student. Just join our Free Mage Alliance."
…
Back in the office, Auston puts down the phone and starts making plans.
Holding the ancient silver coin in hand, he contacted the housekeeper Megan and asked where the cement bucket was now, and received a rather terrible answer.
"I went out with the eldest lady."
Auston raised his hands to cover his face. Veronica was good at everything, but she was too naive, just like Heaphy before, destined to be deceived by bad men.
When people want to accomplish something, whether in love or work life, they must master the law of three elements.
Persistence, shamelessness, persistence, shamelessness.
Many people think that thick-skinned people are very lucky and are the illegitimate children of success. In fact, the opposite is true. Thick-skinned people have experienced more failures and relied on their shameless spirit to overcome difficulties and finally realize their dreams.
Back then, Heaphy was determined to be a saint, and she showed no pretense when facing many suitors. Auston was able to win over beautiful women only because of his shamelessness.
At this moment, it was exactly like that. Wayne's persistent stalking made Auston unwilling to wait any longer. Later, things changed. His mother had already been deceived by a bad man once, and she could not let her daughter make the same mistake again.
"Where did they go?"
"The detective agency that the eldest lady bought in the West District Commercial Street."
"Very good, let White Glove speed up the approval and complete the membership on the same day."
Auston came up with a plan and thought of a way to transfer Wayne out of Lundam. He was a cautious person, and only one plan was not safe, so he planned to add another help.
Ding ding ding~~~
The phone rang, and after Auston answered the phone, the gloom on his face disappeared instantly.
"Miss Hayworth, I'm glad to receive your call. You finally figured it out?"
"As Mr. Landau said, it is difficult to make a living in Lundan without a background. I still pursue art and don't want to leave the stage early." On the other side of the phone, the female star sounded helpless.
"It's a pity that your pursuit of art deserves recognition, but art cannot be divorced from life. There will always be some unspeakable darkness behind the glory..."
Auston nodded with satisfaction and got to the point smoothly: "As far as I know, Miss Hayworth has not had any commercial performances recently, and her schedule has always been empty."
"Mr. Landau is really good at predicting things!"
"I can't talk about it. I just saw a lot of meteors like you."
Auston continued: "A film crew will contact you immediately. You will star in the heroine and shoot a monster movie about Beauty and the Beast. The main shooting location is an island in the North Sea. When you take the cruise ship, you will meet When you meet a man, he is your target.”
"What's his name?"
Lily Hayworth was very curious about what the man who could make the head of the Landau family miss him looked like.
"Someone will hand you the information when the time comes. I wish you a great success in the film in advance."
Auston hung up the phone, stood up and stood in front of the window, planning all the moves with both hands. It was time for the little pervert to show his true colors.
But there is one more thing!
In order to prevent the salty fish from turning into overtime and regaining the trust of Heaphy and Veronica by being shameless, he had to place an undercover agent next to Wayne.
Auston picked up the phone and dialed the big house in Enlord Town Villa.
After the maid answered the call, she handed it over to the housekeeper, Fra.
"Fra, you are going back to Lundan."
"Yes, Master Alston, my wife told me that from now on I will treat Master Wayne as my master and assist him with all my strength."
"Fra, are you still willing to serve the Landau family?"
"Mr. Alston, it is my oath to serve the Landau family, and I will always do so."
"That's good, keep an eye on that kid and report to me anytime if anything happens."
"..."
"Fra?!"
"As you command, Master Alston."
