Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 51 I'm quite short of money recently

In Raliyah.

Fraud and plague await the third member to join.

"Welcome, Lust."

Fraud is full of expectations for the addition of lust.

As a selected official candidate, Lust's ability or potential definitely surpassed him and Plague.

With the addition of lust, the task completion will be greatly improved.

"I've been short of money recently, so I decided to make some money." Margaret decided to disguise herself as Rhodes.

"Haha, if it's a matter of money, I will pay you an extra 20 crowns after the task is successfully completed." The fraud was quite joyful.

In his eyes, money is just a string of numbers, and nothing is more important than his own experiments.

"By the way, Angry just said before leaving that this incident can also be notified to the Golden Lion family. I think it is very likely that someone will notify them."

Margaret made the preparations in advance.

"Heh, Anger is such a person. He will intervene in anyone who doesn't like him. If there is no accident, he will arrange for someone to notify the Golden Lion family." The deceitful consciousness shrugged, showing a look that I knew a long time ago. manner.

"Then, should we act early?"

Margaret laid the groundwork again.

"I propose to act tonight, they should not have time to prepare!"

"Lust, maybe you are too impatient, I think it's just right to act tomorrow."

The plague, which had been silent all this time, spoke at this time.

His ability needs to be prepared in advance. If he acts tonight, the effect of his going there will be greatly reduced, and the fraud just told him that he will be given different levels of ghoul knowledge according to his performance.

"Let me think about this matter again. Everyone can go to rest first. When the action time is determined, I will pass it on through the nameplate." Fraud hesitated for a while, and he decided to wait for the news of the person he had placed inside the management office. notify.

He felt that the Golden Lion family would probably notify the Authority immediately after getting the news.

He needs to make a decision according to the arrangement of the authority.

According to usual calculations, the bureau's complex set of approval methods will most likely not start until tomorrow afternoon.

It would be most suitable if the time was delayed until tomorrow morning.

After Margaret left R'lyeh, she called Joseph immediately.

"Joseph, someone wants to do harm to our Golden Lion family. I need you to arrange to deal with it immediately."

"what!?"

Joseph knocked off the hand extended by his lover, his eyes were full of dignity.

Although the Golden Lion family has fallen, it is not something that can be moved by casual people.

"Understood, I will arrange it."

"Well, I need you to send a notice first saying that you have received news that someone will arrest the members of the Golden Lion family tomorrow, and then release the news 30 minutes later that the group will act tonight."

"Why?" Joseph was puzzled, such an announcement would reduce his authority.

"10 crowns, do as I say."

"Understood!"

Of course, when it comes to money, everything becomes trivial for Joseph.

Margaret felt that a big reason for the hesitation in fraud was that there might be people he arranged in the administration.

It's not that there are no such things, but many.

Just as it only takes 10 crowns to get Joseph to arrange one thing, although there is a relationship with the Golden Lion family, more of it is because of interests.

The corrupt old London government has long been fed a greedy worm by money rings.

After waiting for a while, Margaret's nameplate suddenly flickered, and the task time was changed to tomorrow morning.

After 30 minutes, the nameplate flashed again, and the task time was announced for tonight.

"As I expected, these greedy guys should be buried in the cemetery!"

Margaret called Rhodes again.

"Rhode, those people are going to do something tonight."

"I know, I'll get there."

"Well, be careful."

"Do not worry."

Rhodes hung up the phone, packed his weapons, turned into a plague doctor, and disappeared into the darkness.

Aesop has already gone to play the outpost, and if he goes there again, he will be double-insured.

Hope it's not that group of people!

Martin muttered inwardly.

"Woxi, you and Xiaolu stay in the room, I'll go out and have a look."

Martin decided to go out and have a look, so it was passive to stay in the house and wait.

"Worthy is going out with Martin, too."

Woxi hugged Xiaolu and said seriously.

Martin thought for a moment, and indeed it might be more unsafe to leave Worthy alone in the house. What if their target was Worthy?

"jingle!"

The hanging phone on the wall suddenly rang.

"Worthy, you follow me."

Carefully avoiding the window, Martin walked to the phone and picked it up.

"Hi, this is 49 York Street, Martin."

"I'm Margaret, Martin, someone is going to arrest Worthy, you protect her! People from the Administration will be here soon!"

Margaret's voice was calm.

"I will be careful."

"Well, protect Woxie."

"nothing."

"Ah."

Martin put down the phone.

With his back to Worthy, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

"Martin, what's the matter?" Worthy seemed to sense the abnormal atmosphere, and tugged at the corner of Martin's clothes.

"It's all right, don't worry Worthy, it's your sister Margaret who called to ask how you are doing recently." When Martin turned around, the smile was restored on his face.

"Oh." Worthy looked at Martin's stiff smile, it was obvious that Martin was lying to herself.

But Worthy is a sensible child, since Martin doesn't want to tell her, there must be Martin's reasons.

"Worthy understands."

"Well, Woxi, you and Xiaolu go to the basement to stay. I'll go out and check. If I didn't tell you, don't come out no matter what sounds you hear, understand?"

"understood."

Martin took Watson by the hand and went into the kitchen.

Lifting off a light gray carpet similar in color to the floor under his feet, a door to the basement was revealed.

This is what Martin dug himself after returning from work during this period.

It was originally intended to be used to store some cheap and long-lasting food, but now, let Woxi stay in it first, and it will not be easy for others to be found for a while.

"Understood, Woxi will stay here with Xiaolu, Woxi is not afraid."

Worthy was sneezing, suppressed her fear, hugged a doll bear, and Little Green followed Worthy with a kerosene lamp, and walked into the basement.

Although Martin couldn't bear to let Worthy stay alone in the basement, he was even more afraid of her being robbed.

we can only do this.

Martin closed the basement door and re-carpeted.

Holding the shield in both hands, he walked out and stood at the door.

Due to the structural design of the house, if others want to enter the house, they must enter through the gate.

Martin decided to wait quietly at the door.

If anyone wanted to get in and get Worthy, they had to walk over his dead body.

Of course, people do need to enter through the gate.

But for Aesop, who has been watching everything in the dark from just now, it has quietly fallen from the ventilation duct of the house and stood in the kitchen.

"It's such a lucky little guy to be protected by the master. In this case, the great Aesop will protect you.

Countless pitch-black tentacles filled the entire kitchen at this moment.

They turned into hunters in the dark, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey.
