The carriage stopped at the corner of Fifth Avenue.

Ryan got out of the carriage with his suitcase and placed it on the sidewalk, and when he came to the cart, he took a Louis from his wallet and handed it to the coachman, signaling that the coachman did not need to make amends.

The meter in the driver's seat shows that the fare is eighty-five pfennigs, and the remaining fifteen pfennigs are tips for the coachman.

This world is the same as the Western world of Aqua Blue, the tipping culture is popular, and most of the gentlemen will give a certain percentage of the tip when they enjoy the service of the service staff, and many times, the tip income of the service staff is more than the salary.

However, a tip of fifteen pfennig is too generous, and in general, five pfennig is sufficient.

If the amount of consumption is relatively large, more than ten louis, the proportion of tips is maintained at about two percent, like this time, Ryan's consumption is less than one louis, and the proportion of tips is only five percent.

Got a lot of tips and the coachman was very happy.

He took off his top hat and placed it on his chest, then bowed to Ryan and said with a smile.

"May the Lord bless you have a good day!"

Ryan smiled and turned to leave.

Standing at the foot of the steps, looking at the door with the cleaning company's sign, Ryan took a deep breath.

Stride up the stairs.

The door was open, and there was no need to shake the doorbell, and Ryan slowly entered with his suitcase.

Behind the desk on the left, Tess looked up and saw Ryan, she smiled on her face, put down the papers in her hand, stood up from behind the desk, walked around, and faced Ryan who was standing at the desk.

"Got things done so quickly?"

She glanced at the suitcase in Ryan's hand.

This suitcase, pure calfskin, looks like it has been used for many years, it is a suitcase that has been used for many years, it is not luxurious at all, simple but elegant, and it is very valuable, Tess has a research on similar supplies, in her opinion, this suitcase can only be bought for at least dozens of Louis when it is new, even if it is old, it is worth a lot of money.

Actually, it's not a price Ryan can afford.

However, Tess is not surprised.

Iris already knows enough about Ryan's background.

Ryan is not the only owner of the suitcase, the previous owner of the suitcase is his mother, to be precise, it should be an object left by his unknown biological father, Ryan's uncle Jordan has no research on similar items, so when Ryan left home at the age of thirteen, he was able to leave with this suitcase, if you know that this thing is so expensive, the result can be imagined.

Tess knew that Ryan was an illegitimate child and had not seen his father since he was born.

Who is his biological father, Iris has not been found out, the time is too short, there are too few clues, it is difficult to trace, of course, if Iris concentrates manpower and material resources, most of them can still be identified, but it is meaningless.

Because she is in Iris and her father is extraordinary, Tess knows very well what those nobles do, don't look at them in social situations always behave politely and gracefully, however, in private, the lives of most nobles are very erosive, many guys especially like to hunt outside, and most of the targets are beautiful civilian women, so they left a large number of illegitimate children.

These illegitimate children, if they are lucky, can be taken to the family to take care of, if they are good at dancing with long sleeves and good at patting horses, they can also get some resources from their fathers and live a good middle-class life.

If the luck is so good, his father only has one son, in that case, in order not to let the family business fall aside, and do not want the title to be taken back by the Imperial Senate, he can only let the illegitimate son enter the family, obtain the surname, and inherit the family name through some operations.

Of course, most illegitimate children will be ignored and can only live with their mothers, struggling to survive in the lower world.

In Tess's opinion, Ryan is one of those people.

"That's all there is to it?"

Ryan smiled and didn't speak.

"Do you remember which room the dormitory was?"

Ryan nodded.

"Then I won't take you up, you go back to the dormitory to tidy up your things first, come down to me after a while, I'll take you to see your captain, and in the future, whatever your captain says, you just listen carefully!"

Tess finished speaking, and the smile on her face did not disappear.

"Okay. ”

Ryan nodded in response.

He then turned to the hallway with his suitcase.

As soon as I walked around the corner, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

Ryan turned around, and a gentleman in a top hat walked in through the door.

The same silk top hat, the one on the gentleman's head is worth for dozens of top hats worn on Ryan's head, he wears a black tweed coat, the hem of the coat hangs below the knee, double-breasted, only the two rows above the chest are not buttoned, the buttons are shining gold, not the brilliance of brass, but the luster of gold, at least, these buttons are also gilded.

The collar rises high to obscure both cheeks.

The trousers are also made of wool, the hem is straight, covering the ankles, and a pair of black cowhide shoes are worn with smooth and spotless uppers, like a mirror, and can even reflect the human face.

This gentleman was very tall, measuring two meters.

He was supposed to be a northerner.

Not to mention that he has blonde hair and no blood-colored skin, this height alone is difficult for the locals of Reims City to achieve, and compared with the north where the imperial capital is located, the southerners of the French Empire are generally short and have a dark complexion.

Probably in his thirties, Ryan couldn't be sure.

He had a good-looking face, very handsome, with deep-set eye sockets, close to a pair of sword eyebrows, the eyes were green, like jewels, and his gaze was very sharp.

His eyes were a little astringent, and there was a faint tingling pain, and Ryan hurriedly looked away.

In fact, he can tolerate the other party's gaze, but there is no need to be reckless.

Carrying the suitcase and moving on, I could hear them talking.

Tess's voice became much more serious, no longer with a light-hearted laugh, and her attitude was very respectful, as if she were talking to her boss.

"Good afternoon, Sir Fontaine. ”

"Good afternoon, Tess. ”

The gentleman who was knighted by Tess responded, his voice a little low, very powerful, and loud.

"That's?"

Jazz must be pointing to his back and asking.

"The new trainee agent just came to report today, and the induction report has been sent to your office, and you can check it at any time......"

It's really the boss.

Footsteps echoed through the hallway, and soon Ryan reached the top of the stairs, glancing at the closed door of Albert Estine's office next to him, then turned and walked up the stairs.

The voices coming from the antechamber were inaudible and could no longer be heard.
