The cold river irritated Harvey's skin, his eyes, mouth and nose were flooded, he instinctively struggled to breathe but choked a few times, he was at a loss for what to do with the nausea of cold foreign objects pouring into his stomach, the rotting smell of the stinky ditch stimulated his senses, his head was a mess, and he didn't even know why he was here.

Crash~

"Ahem~~Wow~Whew~"

Harvey felt a tug from behind him, and he was finally able to get out of the river that smelled of the stinking gutter, and he gasped for breath, his breath and eyes choked on the hot pain of the river.

Where is this?

He moved his body only to find that he was bound by a rope and could not move, the night was dim, he was slumped on the edge of a river, he had just been fished out of the river and was soaked, when the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver, and looked around in confusion. He was surrounded by several fierce men, barely able to see them through the dim street lamps.

Foreigner?

Harvey pouted and wanted to say something, and an unfamiliar memory suddenly appeared in his mind telling him where this was, who he was, and who these strong men were in front of him. Along with the memory, this message came into his mind, and Harvey's mind was too confused to take care of it, and after a few breaths, his stomach twitched, and he vomited out the river water he had just swallowed, along with the bread he had eaten for dinner.

"Wow~~"

In front of him, a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman in a black suit hated to cover his nose with a handkerchief, and the crutch held in the other hand pressed against Harvey's head and said slowly: "Dear Mr. Harvey, your loan in our company has been overdue for more than a month, and our company has spent a lot of energy to catch you here in this month. Maybe I should take you to court, where you will be judged fairly. ”

Harvey felt much better after vomiting, coughed a few times and struggled to look up at the middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman: "Wait... Wait, Mr. Lester, it will take me a little more time to get together my loan to you. ”

- Just crossed over to this routine?

Harvey scolded bitterly in his heart, in the body of this person named Harvey, his soul was from an ordinary young man on the earth, and he somewhat understood what had happened after accepting the memory of this body, first of all, the owner of this body was the heir of a declining aristocratic family, and secondly, he was very old-fashioned, he was a gentleman, accustomed to spending lavishly, and borrowed money from private banks when he lost all his family property, and as a result, he was reduced to the current situation, he was good, and he enjoyed all the mess and handed it over to him, a bitter traverser.

Scolding and scolding, he still has to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of him, otherwise he will suffer in the end.

The gentleman named Lester clenched his crutches and said disdainfully, "Tell me, how do you get it together?" The Adrians filed for bankruptcy three years ago, will you be able to scrape together thirty Barron coins for another period of time? ”

"Thirty? I remember I only borrowed ten gold baluns from you! "Ten gold baluns can keep Harvey as a nobleman for a while, and the average family uses one gold balun coin a month, and thirty gold coins is a lot of money for ordinary nobles, and tripling it is unacceptable to Harvey.

"It's the consequence of your breach of contract and the total amount of effort we spend looking for you, and if you are dissatisfied, you can go to court and file a lawsuit."

Harvey's face was gloomy, he thought about it and gritted his teeth, "Okay, but I need time to raise money." ”

In my memory, the contract signed by the owner of this body does have a contract of overdue repayment several times, is he a pig!? The world's laws are not yet perfect enough to regulate lending.

Lester nodded to the thugs next to him, and when Harvey secretly said something was wrong, he was grabbed by the thug and punched him in the stomach.

"Ahh Ahh

With the pain and suffocation sensation coming from his abdomen, he fell to the floor weakly and gasped, Lester, who was dressed as a gentleman, pressed the back of his hand with a cane and crushed it slightly, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Adrian, do you want to use the same trick on us a second time?" Unfortunately, there are only two options available to you right now, maybe you can choose to sell the maid in your house, or wait for the court to decide. ”

It is said that there are two options, but in fact, the latter one is simply intimidation, against the intimidation of Harvey Adrian himself, a former aristocrat who is sued by the bank is estimated to become a laughing stock of the upper class, which is an unacceptable option for Harvey, who has always maintained his aristocratic style. Harvey doesn't care about reputation now, but he's not stupid enough to choose this option.

Harvey breathed hard, slowed down for a while, looked up at the gentleman with a cold face, and said in a difficult tone: "I'm sorry, I can't choose either option, Mr. Lester can choose to drown me here or wait for a while, I promise to prepare thirty gold barrons to pay off the debt." ”

Lester looked down at the fine-skinned and tender aristocratic son in front of him a little unexpectedly, originally thought that he would throw him into the river and drown, and after a few words of intimidation, he would obediently sell the maid to offset his loan, looked at Harvey's determined eyes He smiled and nodded to the thug next to him. Then Harvey was beaten by the thugs in turn, and he curled up silently, covering his head with his hands to endure the pain.

The thugs obviously do this a lot, and they don't greet the vital points of the body when they know the proportions.

Harvey was beaten like a punching bag for several minutes, and Lester asked again: "So Mr. Adrian, have you changed your mind?" ”

With a hot pain all over his body, Harvey scolded his mother in his heart or shook his head to refuse, looked directly at the gentleman in front of him and said toughly: "Cough... Ahem... Mr. Lester, although the Adrian family is gone, you should know that we are still part of the social world. In the name of the Adrian family, I only need a little time, which is worth more to you than a corpse. ”

The so-called social world refers to the upper class, Harvey's words have a guarantee and a threat, the Adrian family has declined, but no one knows what kind of intertwined relationship this ancient family will have, if things get bigger, people who have been related to the Adrian family are a little unhappy with this matter, they will suffer a catastrophe.

The real situation is only understood by Harvey himself, the rules of the upper class are very cruel, and the Adrian family is one of the eliminated ones, and there is no status at all.

Rust's face was cloudy, and he leaned in front of Harvey to warn: "Okay, we'll give you another month, and if you can't get thirty gold barrons in a month, we will formally file a lawsuit with the court and demand repayment of ten times the amount, I hope you can know what is at stake." ”

After saying that, he ordered his men to untie the ropes on Harvey's body and leave here.

Harvey staggered to a wall and sat down to look around him, surrounded by old Victorian buildings, angular and Gothic, Renaissance, or Greek, looking quite delicate and beautiful, and the dim light from the glass windows illuminated the river that had just flooded him, and the river was so muddy that he felt sick at the thought of taking a few sips.
