Chapter 156: Rampage
Kane, who is a domineering president, bullied the widow and called him handy.
Of course, it's not just that.
The preliminary preparations are sufficient, and he has staged similar dramas in almost all mission worlds.
Or even a more straightforward song of kill and. Some people find this description harsh, as if they are willing to hear about career and love, not money and women.
Kane is sometimes described in a different way: purge and conquer.
Soft, like the popular flower characters of this period, did not like him.
He will use the excuse of 'language skills, ingenuity, and piercing people's hearts' as an excuse to make the expression more wild and rude, tear off those elegant skins, and be honest and shocking.
"Willingborough's predicament, and the crux of the problem, need no more to say. After confirming the last glimmer of hope in the free land of the New World, if we follow the established track of the development of things, what awaits the two and this family is probably completely shattered. ”
He tore apart the deepest wounds in Hanny and Lydia's hearts with straightforward words.
"I don't want to think of myself as a savior, because the powerful don't have such a pure person who has no intentions. I took over this dilapidated home to make it easier to do something. Although the name of Baron Wellingborough has long been inferior to that of the well-to-do middle class, at least it is still a real nobility. ”
Kane didn't pretend to be elegant, he despised justice and rarely did.
Desire-Desire, Choice. This is the most fundamental source of human nature, a little simpler, more real.
Hanny and Lydia can't stand this fishy rogue conversation.
But what's interesting is that with Kane's temperament and appearance, there is an indescribable strange charm.
It is like facing a slave gladiator king, rude and savage, but also revealing intellect and wisdom, as well as the male sense of strength and the confidence and pride of the superior.
Kane hit the nail on the head:
"Do you, while gaining the right to continue to enjoy wealth, have you the consciousness to pay the corresponding price?"
Hanny was silent, and Lydia asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Kane changed to a playful attitude again: "I said it, F-Y, look at your cold face, it is the product of 16 years of resentment written on your face, if you continue to maintain this posture, I am afraid that someone will ask Ted Alston if he is still a man." ”
"You ......"
Kane ignored the indignant Lydia and the complicated Hanny, his arms propped on the armrests, his fingers crossed in front of his chest and abdomen, and his eyes closed.
After a while, he said, "Before noon, the engineering team will arrive, and I will take back all the property belonging to Baron Wellingborough, and completely renovate the oak manor." ”
"Put on your best clothes and throw away the rest. We went to live in London for a while, and it was time to go back to high society. ”
The engineering team arrived as promised, and Kane took the designers and engineers to almost every part of the estate, finalizing one detail after another.
The estate is actually not old, it has only been built for decades, and a large number of prefabricated parts are used, which are only mass-produced after the Industrial Revolution due to increased production capacity, and the sophistication and character are naturally much worse.
In addition, the villas are also built a little nondescript, half castles, half villas, Gothic, Baroque, Rococo can be found traces.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is not wrong, and even unique, but if you have a little vision, you will find that this is the lack of general design drawings, or halfway through the cover, you find that the overspending is serious, so it begins to be unfinished.
Kane's final form was in the early Victorian style, with strong Gothic architectural features.
In fact, it is not a large amount of work, it is nothing more than an old-fashioned six-story residential building with three units in modern times, and the main laborious place is the stylized decoration.
Kane spent close to £9,000 on this.
What is this concept? In this era, a craftsman or a skilled worker earns 30-50 pounds a year. The tuition fee at the famous Eton College is one shilling a week (£1 equals 20 shillings and 240 pence) and a pound of beef is 4-6 pence.
Carlyle Castle, which was part of the royal family, cost £11,000 to build (labour was requisitioned to repay the favor), while the most iconic Crystal Palace of the Victorian era cost £110,000 (including labour costs).
It is equivalent to 21 million yuan in modern times for a half-repaired and half-built house, including the basement, the internal steam engine system installation, the manor's fence, horse driveway, fountain and gate, which is not particularly expensive.
This, of course, has to do with its aristocratic status. The paradise of the powerful is not said in vain, just having money and lacking social status will be slaughtered, and aristocratic status is a natural social status.
As she left the manor in the car, Hanny asked Kane wistfully, "Ted, what does the future hold?"
"It can't get any worse than it is now. ”
Kane said to Lydia, "There are some memories that will only be sad if you stay in your heart. People are born to die, look forward, plan for the future, live the present, let's go. ”
Later that evening, Kane returned to the hotel where he had stayed on the first night.
After dinner, he made an appointment with the owner of the hotel and took ownership of the hotel.
The original history line of this person will go to the western United States to start a business under the influence of fake Ted. I didn't expect to make a career.
When the Wellingborough family became synonymous with liars, and completely stinked on the streets of England, it was this man who helped them and took them to the United States, where they lived out their old age in a solid state.
Kane is following the trajectory of history and sending it on his way.
This hotel was the Gresham Hotel, located in the west of downtown London, in the Borough of Westminster on the north bank of the River Thames. Paddington Station is 200 metres away, Hyde Park is a 10-minute walk and Oxford Street is 15 minutes. The location is excellent, but the surroundings are quiet.
Not only did Kane take the property, but he also bought another well-maintained old building not too far away, which served as Baron Wellingborough's property in London.
When it comes to this property, there are also some stories.
This haunted old building is actually a lost legacy of the wizards.
It was a safe house built by a wizard for himself, the kind with a miniature secret realm, and then the wizard died, and this ingenious design of the building within the building was lost.
After a long time, the energy of the power stones that maintained the secret realm was exhausted and its operation was abnormal.
A businessman with a reputation for being good at speculation and making ill-gotten gains bought it, and when he entered the house, he was frightened when he encountered an anomaly, and after escaping, he was thought to have suffered a curse, 'gibberish', and was sent to a mental hospital by his 'beloved family'.
The name of the ghost building was also confirmed, and it was vacant for many years, until the folding space of the secret realm completely collapsed, causing the old building to self-destruct, and this land ushered in a new life.
And the one who took this land for reconstruction is precisely the fake Ted.
That was years later, but before the building could be built, the fake identity was revealed. Some blame it on the curse continuing.
So this is a point that can be exploited, take down the old building, get the inheritance of the wizard's safe house, instill the memory of the unscrupulous merchant with the value of San, and once again have the 'beloved' family send him to a mental hospital for the rest of his life.
Finally, it depends on the situation to deal with this old building, which once belonged to Wellingborough anyway. Such an operation is within the scope of the power of historical correction, and will not give rise to a new world.
The power of historical correction, if used well, can be used to play the side ball, just like the operations that Hermione of the original history line did with the time turner, happened, but it was not enough to produce serious branches, and the world pinched its nose and recognized it.
When it's time to fall asleep, of course, it's a bed in one bedroom.
Lydia's stiff and cowardly behavior expressed her inner apprehension.
Kane smiled, "Are you a princess?" what do you think the baron threw his wife's first time in the hotel?"
Lydia was speechless.
It was already late autumn, and the room was very cold.
Although the steam engine has been invented and used in various industries, the heating system (radiator) will not be invented until the end of the century.
Therefore, sleeping with a nightcap to ensure the warmth of the head, the part of the body that has the best heat dissipation.
Dressed in thick old pajamas, and wearing a woolen hat that can't be talked about like an inner tank, he looks a little weird.
In 1878, Joseph Swan made a vacuum carbon filament bulb, and his house became the first private home in Britain to use electric lighting. The carbonized filament was replaced by tungsten filament, which began the popularization and application of light bulbs until the beginning of the 20th century.
Kane soon let out a fine, even breathing sound. He can eat and sleep now, which can be regarded as a kind of savings, and with this accumulation, it can only burst out when needed.
Lydia couldn't sleep, her mind was in turmoil. Although I have compromised with this man who suddenly appeared in my life on a macro level, I still feel very difficult when it comes to actual operation.
The main thing is psychological discomfort.
Over the years, she has been clean and self-conscious, which is considered her last bit of dignity, especially in the upper class where the relationship between men and women is chaotic.
It is ironic that he was sold to an unknown crook overnight.
And Kane's attitude towards her also made her uncomfortable, saying that respect was wrong, and it didn't seem right to say disrespect, like uninhibited after seeing everything through.
It can be summed up in two simple sentences: Men and women are not just that things? The core of the aristocracy is not just that thing? Sex, affection, power, and interests, indeed, according to this line of thinking, the whole world is just like that.
Lydia didn't know how she fell asleep, but she woke up the next day feeling good, warm and comfortable. She originally had a fixed habit of going to the bathroom in the early morning, but this time she endured it for a while longer, pretending to sleep and enjoying this sense of physical and mental dependence.
"It's not bad to start like that. She comforted herself.
Kane was a bit of a snooze, and it was not too early to wake up, so he did a series of flexibility exercises in the room.
Kane's low body fat percentage created a body that tends to be perfect like the statue of David in ancient Greece, Lydia was dizzy to see, and it was hard for her to imagine that Kane, who was middle-aged, had such a body.
Kane himself was not very satisfied. The main reason is that the magic power is too low, otherwise, with magic, the success rate and power of hypnosis and charm will be greatly increased, which will make it much easier for him to act.
Speaking of which, I can't help but mention an important piece of information, it is difficult for a wizard to be a target for retribution, even if the soul dies, the remnants of its powerful soul power are also a nightmare for the retainer.
Moreover, the spirit and the flesh pay attention to a matching problem, not necessarily after the seizure, there is a concept of phase.
Third, once a wizard's soul is gone, it is often accompanied by a magical collapse effect, which gives the impression that the nerve signals of a transcendent version of the life instinct are interrupted, causing muscle relaxation and incontinence.
The combination of these factors makes the Soul Piercing Wizard very dangerous, unless someone specifically helps to prepare a qualified body and wait for it.
That's why he and Carol Flint arrived in 1853 before the start of the main mission.
Both of them are playing the front station, he and Carol each have their own pre-tasks, and Carol will eventually help Fran Carrett manage the factory instead of participating in the main action, as in the original history.
As for him, he will not approach Fran as a bodyguard, but as a 'best friend', and in order to complete this pre-task, he must first make a name for himself in London's high society like the fake Ted.
So that morning, he went straight to the office of the mayor of London, Crossland.
Crossland was shocked, in this day and age, such behavior was nothing short of rude, compared to the modern day of showing his ass at others.
At this time, Kane's charisma bonus played a crucial role.
For a time, Crossland thought it was some colonial governor or army commander who had come to the door......
