6 Temptations from afar

Sunlight comes through the window.

The window in the dining room is open, and outside the window is the backyard of the house, there is a flower garden, in the flower garden, the tulips are very delicate, gently swaying with the wind, and the rich fragrance of flowers wafts into the house with the wind, refreshing.

Ryan sat at the window, across a rectangular dining table, across from his uncle Jordan Bell, his aunt Susan Bell, and his eldest cousin, Lonzo Bell, at the top of the table to his right.

"It's a rare thing!"

Lonzo waved his arms, not much, but very powerfully.

He stared at Ryan directly across from him, his eyes were attentive and his expression was extraordinarily sincere.

Lonzo had seen the speech of Speaker Grand Duke Macron in the House of Lords, and he often practiced in private, and at this time, he imitated the majestic posture of that one, but his performance was somewhat funny in Ryan's eyes.

"A Golden Louie!"

He cocked up his index finger and snorted.

"There is a gold louis for the settlement fee, as long as you sign this contract, there will be a gold louis!"

After a pause, Lonzo blinked.

"As soon as you go to the New World, you will immediately take up public office as soon as you get off the ship, and become a sixth-class civil servant...... I've been in the municipal hall for several years, and now I'm only level six, you just need to sign this contract, and you're on the same level as me!"

Lonzo shrugged his shoulders and smiled, a very conspicuous hint of envy in his eyes.

After that, he didn't speak, his gaze moved to the side, and landed on the wall clock on the wall next to him, as if he had been hit by something, however, the corner of his eye did not take the rest of his eyes off Ryan's face, carefully observing Ryan's reaction.

Ryan was silent, searching for memories.

A few days ago, Lonzo came to the apartment to visit the young Ryan, and mentioned the incident, at that time, the young man was a little tempted, but in the end, out of a cautious nature, he did not agree, but said that he needed to think about it for a while.

After leaving home at the age of thirteen to become an apprentice, except for his second cousin James, who occasionally went to his rented apartment to board for a night or two, his uncle Jordan, aunt Susan, and Lonzo did not come to see him, and the meeting a few days ago was the first time Lonzo came to his door.

How can such a good thing be cheapened by yourself?

That's why Ryan hesitated.

What's more, he has his own plans.

Mr. Dewen, the manager of the trading company, valued the boy very much, and after a while, as long as he passed the accounting certificate, he was able to be promoted, and he was no longer a clerk, but became Mr. Tokuwen's assistant.

In the foreseeable future, it may be possible to take over the position of steward after Mr. Devon's retirement.

Compared to that road, it may not be as promising as it seems, but it is more stable and less dangerous.

At that time, the teenager was only hesitant about this, but now, he had other ideas, and it was natural to connect with the attack of the previous night.

"There is a monthly salary of eighty louis, free houses, free food and lodging, as long as such a good thing spreads, those who rush to go can cross the bridge from the South District to the front of the Holy Cross Church, Ryan, what are you hesitating about!"

Uncle Jordan's voice was almost roaring.

He stared at Ryan viciously, his face flushed.

"If it weren't for all your cousin's connections in the municipal government, such a good thing wouldn't have been your turn at all!"

"Sign it......"

The chubby Aunt Susan said with a smile on the side, the flesh on her face folded and her eyes narrowed into slits.

At this moment, Lonzo pushed a stack of papers in front of Ryan, and on top of the papers lay a gold coin, which was illuminated by the sunlight shining through the window, reflecting a dazzling light.

"A golden louis!"

Lonzo stared at the gold coin and said in an aria-like tone.

"Signed, this one Golden Louis is yours!"

Ryan's gaze also fell on the gold coin.

Although there is no evidence, it is clear that this incident is inseparable from last night's attack, and there must be a connection between the two, perhaps because the teenager did not sign a contract, did not travel to the New World, and hindered someone's plan, so he was attacked last night.

Choose again!

Ryan looked up at his uncle Jordan.

"James ......"

Jordan frowned, waiting for Ryan to continue.

"I think we can get James to sign this contract. ”

Ryan's second cousin, James Bell, works as a bartender in a bar on Baker Street, and often hangs out with those who are not careful, which makes the Bell family's hearts burned.

"No, James can't go to that hell place!"

Aunt Susan grabbed the conversation on the side, for fear that her son would stay away from her.

James is no longer angry, but he is also the one she loves the most, if she leaves her far away from the ocean, I am afraid she will not be able to see her in this life, when she thinks of this, her heart is like being stabbed by a knife.

Jordan glanced at Susan, his face gloomy.

On the other hand, so did Lonzo.

If possible, he wanted to send that uncompetitive brother to the New World.

With that guy here, he will also be implicated, and if he wants to marry the daughter of a declining nobleman, most of them are not reliable, after all, it is too ugly to say that there is a ruffian brother.

Unfortunately, this contract must be signed by Ryan to count.

A week ago, his boss called him to the office and handed him the contract, and he was shocked when he heard Ryan's name from his boss, especially when his boss told him to make sure Ryan signed the contract, so that in the second half of the assessment, he would sign the recommendation letter and recommend him to take the fifth-level civil service exam.

What a bonus!

Judging from Langzo's qualifications and background, as well as his ability to work, the sixth-level civil servant should be the pinnacle, and perhaps he can be promoted to the fifth-level civil servant before retirement, however, that is only a consolation prize and has no practical meaning.

Now, he can actually get the opportunity to be promoted in the right year, for this, even if he sells Ryan to the devil, he is willing to do it!

What's more, it's just going to the New World.

He also looked at the contract, which was an official document and not a forgery.

Well, he didn't actually look closely, even if it was a forged document, he would forcibly take Ryan's hand and sign it, and for this, even if it was a deal with the devil.

"No, James can't!"

Lonzo leaned forward, staring at Ryan.

"Compared to you, he's too unmotivated!"

He placed his hands on the table, overlapping them on top of each other.

"This good opportunity, only for you will not be wasted, if it is replaced by James, even if he forcibly puts that guy on the boat, he will jump into the sea and swim back to Reims City halfway......"

With that, Lonzo laughed.

"Sign it, Ryan!"

He sat up straight, pursed his lips with a serious expression.

"Cousin won't hurt your ......"
