Chapter Ninety-Eight: Yuri's News
There were so many disturbances on this day, and Charles just wanted to take the Jim family back to see his mother, who knew that it would cause so many things.
The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the clouds were scarce.
Charles was unforgiving, and with Yilman's indignant help on the side, Rod had no choice but to pay reparations and promises.
He threatened to investigate the infringement of the Rift Society, and demanded that they be held accountable for the restoration of the Iron Tool Company.
It wasn't until the end of this one-sided theory that Charles's face was a little pale.
As for Baker in the house, Gorrell was still rescuing, Charles had already helped, and Rod and Ilman couldn't help much, so the three of them went to a nearby restaurant to eat something together, and waited for the results of the treatment by the way.
In fact, Rod was not a good character to talk to, but he was named as a young Leo in the Lion Gang, and Baker owed a great blessing for his life.
And Charles also made it clear that he didn't want the Baker brothers.
Since he is the person to be used in the gang, Rhodes also hopes that the Baker brothers will stay in the Lions Gang wholeheartedly, and he can only admit Charles's request.
He didn't take Charles in his eyes in the past, because the two of them are far apart in terms of identity and strength, and to put it mildly, the original Charles is not qualified to talk to his peers.
This gap in status was only slightly shortened by the entrance exam three months ago.
And now, witnessing the battle between Charles and Philip, although Rhodes has been taught by the masters of the Lions Gang and has extraordinary strength, he does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to defeat Charles.
Since then, Rod, the crescent lion, has truly regarded Charles, a fledgling eagle, as a peer that cannot be underestimated.
As soon as the three of them entered the restaurant, Jim greeted him, holding a sleepy Liz in his arms.
Liz rubbed her eyes, saw Charles's beautiful white face, and struggled to get Jim to let her go.
"What's wrong? Is Liz tired?" Charles said to Liz as he bent over and said cheerfully.
Liz straightened her small chest unconvinced and said, "Liz is not tired, Liz left food for her uncle!"
As she spoke, she grabbed a greasy fried chicken leg from her pocket and handed it to Charles.
Charles grinned and took a bite of the drumstick, giving a bad look at Liz's bulging pocket.
Liz was embarrassed to hide her pocket, blushing and said, "This is what Liz is going to eat tomorrow..."
Seeing this, Jim could only explain to Charles in embarrassment: "When I am not at home, mother and daughter don't have much chance to eat meat. β
Seeing that her father was embarrassed, Liz's little face wrinkled, and she hurriedly took out another chicken leg from her pocket: "Uncle, if you want to eat, Liz will give you this too, don't blame Dad." β
One afternoon was enough time for her mother, Nina, to instill in Liz many so-called concepts of the distinction between master and servant, the distinction between dignity and inferiority.
Charles's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, he didn't like Lizzy being swayed by the class concept of this society for such a young girl.
But as the only remaining male in the Griffin's, there are some things that must be established.
He hesitated, but still rubbed Liz's little head, and said:
"Now, if you still want to eat it in the future, just tell your uncle, uncle will bring you to eat again, this chicken leg, let's leave it for Dad, okay?"
"Okay!" Liz nodded sensibly and handed the chicken leg to Jim, "Daddy, give it to you." β
"Okay, okay, Lizzie is so niceβ" Jim trembled as he took the chicken leg from his daughter's hand, his voice somehow choked.
"Okay, okay, it's late today, so it's not suitable for a ceremony. Stay here now, and come back with me early tomorrow morning. β
Charles said, took out a gold coin that was not yet hot, beckoned to the store, and asked him to take the family to stay in the restaurant.
Looking at the store's warm greeting, Charles nodded, and then sat down with peace of mind.
This store can gain a foothold on this commercial street, and its eyesight is definitely not bad.
Jim had come to the store to rest and eat, and he had personally greeted him.
It stands to reason that Jim looks poor and sour, and the food he orders is very ordinary, and as the store manager, he doesn't actually need to entertain him personally.
But this steward has an extraordinary eye, and as soon as Jim enters the door, he can see Jim's veteran temperament at a glance.
The shiny flying feather spear behind him was nothing but ordinary at first glance.
Later, when he saw that his wife and daughter were politely accompanied by the city defense army, he did not dare to slack off.
Now that I see it, this meal is really not in vain.
The steward was also a clever man, and from the words of Jim's family, he guessed that Jim was the new retainer of the young eagle.
At this moment, the young eagle spoke in person, and he hurriedly arranged for Jim's family to stay.
After some chores were settled, Charles sat down with a chicken leg bone in his mouth, and reminded the old Rhodes story:
"How's your investigation about Yuri?"
"Yuri?" Ihlman, who had also had a little intersection with the gangster, interjected when he heard Charles suddenly mention it.
"Good news, bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Charles glared at Rod and didn't answer.
"Good news, of course, listen to the good news first. "I'll be a good match, so I chose one.
Rod shrugged his shoulders boredly, then continued, "The good news is that the man has found it." β
"Where's the bad news?" said Ilman.
"The man was found, but unfortunately he was dead, and when he found it, the body was already soaked in the moat. Rod seemed to remember something bad, and put down the knife and fork he had just picked up.
Ilman apparently knew about this, and put the mouthful of soup that had just been brought to his mouth and put it back in the bowl.
"Do you know who did it?" said Charles, casually scooping up the white soup and taking a sip.
He had just gotten some of Kyle's memories, not to mention the corpse in words, even if the real corpse was in front of him, he could still eat and drink without changing his face.
Rod stretched out his hands helplessly and said, "That kind of corpse, it's strange that it can be found." β
Charles munched on a piece of barbecue and said, "So you're still suspicious?"
"Please, the test results of the recruits are calculated by the class, what good is it for me if you die? Besides, you almost have a number in your heart, is it necessary to check?"
Rhodes has been carrying the black pot for a few months, and he is also angry.
The knighthood ceremony of the Liber family a month ago was also widely spread, and it was a topic second only to the dispute between the young eagles.
Both things are related to Charles, and it's hard for Rod not to associate them.
Charles is not stupid, after a few months, it is not difficult for him to see the clues from the so-called title transfer procedure.
Seeing that he was silent, Yilman and Rod also said no more with interest.
For a moment, only the sound of knives and forks remained on the table, and the three of them suddenly concentrated on the food in front of them.
Just then, Gorrell walked in through the door.
"Eagle boy, quick, show me that set of tools again!"
Gorrell was worried about Charles's set of tools, and if it weren't for the fact that Baker's life was in danger, he couldn't delay for a moment, he would have left Baker to find Charles.
"Don't give. β
