Chapter 350: The 'Creditor' Comes to the Door
Early in the morning on December 2nd.
Far from Hydrera, and even almost in the slums of Hyderabad, in a small building with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary area, Bavaria Zo Kaiser Yurik was busy.
Reluctantly to light a candle, Bavaria sat shirtless, behind a curtain that had been opened, sewing a white silk undergarment with holes in the cuffs in the extremely dim light that shone in from outside.
More than seven feet eight inches tall, burly and majestic as an ice white bear, covered in pale yellow body hair, and with fingers as thick as large carrots, Bavarian was cautious, holding a small sewing needle in his two fingers, grinning his teeth, and extremely difficult to sew holes the size of broad beans in his cuffs.
Carefully, line after line, stitch after stitch...... The tip of the needle is constantly poked at the finger, leaving fine white marks on the flexible cocoon skin.
The fingers of the Bavarian arm, accustomed to heavy maces, and better at smashing the heads of men or beasts, trembled, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead, soaking into his eyes and blinking incessantly.
It took half an hour to finally sew the holes in the cuffs, and Bavaria raised his shirt, looked at the crooked cuffs, and sighed heavily.
"Oh, no...... I'm starting to miss Beauty...... My personal maid, my little cutie, with you, all the holes in my clothes, you can always help me fix them quickly and well! β
"Lovely beauty, my darling, who made your salary so high?"
"Five gold marks a month...... As a valet maid, such a salary is too much, I can only dismiss you, it's really ...... I can't help it...... I can only dismiss you! β
"Oh, I never knew that mending clothes was such a hard thing!"
Leaving his shirt behind him, the bedding used was made of muslin, and the four-poster bed, which was a bit poor compared to the status of Bavaria, the ambassador of the Lucian Empire to the Deren Empire, a member of the Lucian royal family, and the Duke of the Empire, Bavaria Zor Caesar Yurik, stood up and walked around his small bedroom with his hands behind his back.
The length and width of the bedroom are only about 20 feet, which is luxurious for ordinary people.
But for Bavaria, who has the title of Duke of the Reich and is an ambassador to a country, this bedroom is too shabby, and it is indeed too small compared to his huge size.
Arthur ...... Pour me a warm gin! A little distraught, Bavaria yelled.
For a long time, no one responded.
Bavaria's eyes widened, and a pair of thick and powerful eyebrows like iron hooks shook fiercely: "Arthur? Damn bitch, are you lazy again? β
After another half, Bavaria, who was about to explode emotionally, slapped himself on the head.
"Ah, damn it, Arthur was fired by me a week ago...... I can't be blamed for this, although you have a dozen positions such as a personal valet, personal assistant, confidential secretary, coachman, gardener, gardener, etc., but ...... The salary of eight gold marks a month is too much. β
Bavaria muttered, and he walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face, into the small living room outside.
This building, on the verge of the slums of the imperial capital, was originally the headquarters of a small civilian chamber of commerce. Half a year ago, the small chamber of commerce went bankrupt, and the building was mortgaged to creditors.
Because the previous owner went bankrupt, the building took on an ominous atmosphere, and the current owner of the building put it up for sale and rent, but no one was willing to take over for a long time.
Two months ago, because of rent arrears, he was kicked out by the original landlord, and Bavaria, where he had nowhere to go in the imperial capital with a stall of embassy officials, somehow inquired about this place and hurriedly brought someone to the door to negotiate.
Bavaria assumed his identity as a member of the royal family of the Lucian Empire, showed off his title as a duke of the Empire, and even more intentionally or unintentionally, showed off his power as a sixth-order transcendent in front of the current owner of the small building.
The current owner of this small building is only a small shareholder of a small chamber of commerce, and has never seen much of the world...... The nobleman with the highest title he has dealt with in his life is just a little baron of the Delun Empire.
That little baron has already shocked the current owner of this small building.
The royal duke of the Lucian Empire came to the door...... Bargain with yourself in person...... Bavaria went very smoothly, and in an almost empty glove white wolf way, it got the right to use this small building for three years.
He didn't pay a penny of rent...... He just promised that as the Duke of the Empire, he would help the current owner of the small building pull the line on the side of the Lucian Empire, and see what business he could take care of the other party and so on.
The successful mouth glove white wolf gave Bavaria and its hundreds of subordinate embassy officials a place to live in the freezing weather of Hyderabad.
However, compared to the former embassy of the Lucian Empire, that place was converted from a count's mansion after all.
And here, it is just the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of a small civilian chamber of commerce.
The floor area, usable area, and even the area of each room cannot be compared with the original embassy site. The environment is extremely cramped and the conditions are extremely harsh......
But what's the solution?
Bavaria, and the entire embassy, is about to go bankrupt!
It's been almost half a year since they received a single gold mark from China!
In the desperate Bavaria, even his personal valet and personal maid have been dismissed, which shows how embarrassed he and the embassy are now!
Running to the wine cabinet in the living room, Bavaria grabbed a bottle and uncorked it with a bang.
He grabbed a bronze wine glass, and the bottle poured into the glass...... and there were a few 'clicks', and a few drops of cloudy wine dripped from the bottle, and it didn't even fill the bottom of the glass.
"Damn bastard!"
Bavaria roared frantically, dropping the bottle and grabbing another...... The bottle was so face-saving that he poured out about half a glass of spirits from it.
Looking at the little wine at the bottom of the glass, Bavaria reluctantly grabbed a few other wine bottles in the wine cabinet and shook them.
The door to the living room was pushed open, and the second secretary of the embassy, a tall blonde man, walked in, he looked at Bavaria and sighed: "Dear Mr. Ambassador, we drank all your wine last night...... That little bit in your cup is the last sip that our conscience has left for you! β
Bavaria turned around and looked at the second secretary angrily: "Shilov, you bastard ......"
Raising the glass and drinking it down, the Bavarian exclaimed angrily, "You damned bastards......"
With a low pant, Bavaria circled around the small living room.
After a few turns, Bavaria frowned and looked at Shilov: "Gather everyone, we have to find a way to get some money...... Damn it...... Have you read the official letter sent by the Empire yesterday? This year, the imperial bill has been marked with a red seal again, and a lot of money is owed...... In my experience, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not give us a child until March next year...... We've got to get some money! β
Shilov spread his hands helplessly: "I'm afraid, today's meeting will be postponed...... Now in the embassy, everyone but me is out...... To be exact, it was all night! β
Bavaria's eyes widened: "What are they going to do?" β
Shirov shrugged his shoulders: "Our chief military attachΓ©, went to the underground boxing ring to fight black boxing, if he hadn't been killed last night, he should have come back with a sum of gold marks...... Of course, you don't want to take a piece out of his hand. β
"My superior, your Great Secretary, he ...... He finally took that step...... You know, his love poems are very good, and Hydrderabad has several honorable ladies who have always had a crush on him. β
"Last night, His Excellency the Grand Secretary finally agreed to the invitation of a certain marquise to spend the night with her...... Well, I even know the price he paid last night, the marquise paid thirty thousand gold marks. β
Bavaria's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eugene...... This bastard, he's worth 30,000 gold marks a night? β
Shilov looked at Bavaria expressionlessly: "That marquise is the age to be his mother." β
The light in Bavaria's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a while before muttering, "Eugene's age is seven or eight years older than me...... Can you be his mother? Belch...... 30,000 gold marks...... It seems a bit aggrieved, if it's 100,000......"
Shirov sighed: "Our military attachΓ© Mr. Adjutant ...... Perhaps, you need to bail him out. β
Shirov shook his head: "I came to you early in the morning, and it was for this purpose...... Our military attache adjutant, who yesterday injured more than a dozen gamblers and casino thugs in an underground casino because of a gambling dispute, has just arrived from the police from the Central Hyderabadrough branch to deliver a letter...... He was arrested on the spot and is now being held in the detention cell of the Central District Branch. β
Bavaria's face turned red and white for a while, and he raised his hands sharply and roared loudly: "Then let him be locked inside, I don't have the money to bail him out now...... And, isn't that just right? His identity means that he can live in it for a while, and he also saves us money on food, doesn't he? β
Shirov was stunned, then nodded: "That's right, it seems to make sense......"
With a breath, Shilov raised an envelope in his hand: "Well, here is also a letterhead from His Excellency Barbaria in the port of Tulum...... Because he used ordinary ordinary letters, and did not use the expedited channel, the letterhead was sent all the way with the civilian trains of the Delun Empire, so ...... This was news more than a month ago. β
Then, Shirov held up another envelope: "And this, this is the information that our insider has just sent!" β
"Barbaria? That idiot wrote to me? Bavaria scratched her head: "Damn, the port of Tulum is a good place...... Uh, Tulum Harbor is such a great place...... I really want to switch places with him. β
Taking the letter, Bavaria opened the letter and looked at it a few times...... After a pause, he opened another small envelope.
Bavaria's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Ahh......h Dear Shilov, we have money, we have money...... We'll have money in no time! β
"I really didn't expect my lovely little niece Raffna to be in Hyderabad!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, my little darling, you are really an angel, you have brought a warm light in winter to your dear Bavarian uncle, you are my angel!"
"Shilov, give you an hour to get all of our people back!"
"Then, go find this guy named Joe Jon Wittu, with whom we have an account to settle with...... Haha, big fat sheep, big fat sheep! Our funds for this year's New Year have fallen! β
