Chapter 65: The Cat and the Fish

Meow......

A small cat meow sounded in the backyard of the manor.

Chen Lun followed the sound and saw a white kitten hiding under a tree and calling. It looked malnourished and trembling.

Chen Lun walked over and gently picked it up.

Looking into the amber eyes of the little white cat, he felt a hint of longing and pleading. From the weak cry, he got some intermittent fragments of information.

This is a kitten born to a stray cat, who suffers from the hardships of life and is abandoned by his mother. Struggling to survive under hunger and cold, after sneaking in through the gap in the guardrail of the manor, he saw Chen Lun, and inexplicably had a great affection for this human being, wanting to get close to him and rely on him.

"Lucky for you, I just wanted to get something to eat."

Chen Lun tucked it into his trouser pocket and turned to leave.

Afternoon.

After Chen Lun finished teaching Rebecca, he went into the study of the villa and continued his "treasure hunting journey".

The butler of Binoz specially instructed the maid to prepare a bowl of milk for the little white cat. After it had eaten and drunk enough, it refreshed itself and jumped up and down on Chen Lun's table.

"Have I done what I told you?"

Chen Lun's gaze moved away from the page in his hand and looked at the little guy in his hand.

The little white cat tilted its head in confusion, as if it didn't know what he was talking about.

"Okay...... It's so small, it's hard for you to be a spy. ”

Chen Lun pouted.

He originally wanted the little white cat to investigate the situation in the villa and confirm whether Viscount Pompeii had obtained [Philip's inheritance], but apparently it was too young to understand too complicated instructions.

"Play with yours."

He got up and continued to rummage through the books.

There are a lot of books in the study, but under Chen Lun's efficient search, more than half of them have been handled.

When the time came in the evening, he still had no gain.

Looking at the last remaining wall of books, Chen Lun sighed secretly.

"Transcendent knowledge is indeed scarce, even if it is the Viscount's study, only one ...... has been found so far"

At this time, Binoz knocked on the door as usual, and announced that it was time for dinner.

Chen Lun put down the book in his hand and left with the little white cat.

on the dining table.

"Mr. Jack, I specially asked the cook to prepare a dish for you, hehe!"

Rebecca Road.

She turned her head to look at Chen Lun expectantly, her cheeks flushed.

Originally, he planned to hide it, and when Mr. Jack saw the dish he liked to eat, he would remind him again, and then leave an impression in his mind.

But Rebecca couldn't hold it back.

"Oh? Thank you so much for your concern, Miss Rebecca. ”

Chen Lun smiled.

Rebecca cheered in her heart and couldn't wait for the maid to open the lid.

"Mr. Jack, this is the finest haddock."

Binoz said on the side.

He understood Miss Rebecca's careful thoughts, and he deliberately cheered for it.

"Oh, I love it...... Thank you so much, Miss Rebecca, you are such an understanding lady. ”

Chen Lun cut a little bit of fish meat, forked it into his mouth, and cooperated with the action of chewing, revealing a look of enjoyment.

In fact, he swallowed it directly.

Rebecca's heart suddenly burst into flames, and she cast a grateful glance at Floi beside Chen Lun.

If it weren't for Miss Floy, she wouldn't have known that Mr. Jack used to like to eat fish. Thanks to her telling herself the secret, she received praise from Mr. Jack.

Come on Rebecca!

Be sure to deepen your relationship with Miss Floy and take down Mr. Jack sooner or later!

Floy tilted her head slightly, feeling Chen Lun's bitter emotions, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"Mr. Jack, eat quickly, it will affect the taste when it is cold......"

Rebecca urged.

"Ahem, of course."

Chen Lun secretly said that it was not good, and his fingers hooked slightly under the table, emitting light.

Meow!

The little white cat jumped up, jumped onto the table, and snatched the fish from the plate.

The action is done in one go, completely treating the others as air.

“……”

Rebecca was stunned, as were the stewards of Binoz and the Viscount of Pompeii.

"Aha! It seems that Miss Rebecca's heart can't even resist the kitten......"

Chen Lun chuckled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Hearing him say this, Rebecca's frustrated mood improved slightly, but she secretly felt sorry for herself.

……

Fast forward to a week.

A sensational big news spread throughout Amber City -

Congressman Daniel was assassinated!

Countless residents were indignant that such a good person who dared to speak up and do things for civilians was brutally killed!

"Protest! Amber City Sheriff's Office does nothing! ”

"It must have been Congressman Daniel's proposals and propositions that touched the interests of the nobles, and it was they who sent someone to assassinate His Excellency! The murderers must be punished severely! ”

A large number of residents held signs and marched through the streets like a long queue.

Many workers even went on strike, wearing dirty uniforms and joining the ranks, shouting hoarsely.

But most of these cases occur in out-of-town areas.

The inner city remained peaceful, and the death of Congressman Daniel, although shocking, only frightened the elite, and many middle-class people applauded.

Some time ago, there was the Garden Hotel incident, which killed Congressman Lawson's son, and now there is another assassination that killed Congressman Daniel.

Feeling uneasy, the magnates secretly put pressure on the police to make the inner city safer.

How can the huge amount of tax money that supports the police and guards every year make them, the high-ranking people, live in fear all day long?

Only a very small number of powerful people have learned some unknown inside stories through the channels of special department shelters.

They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke out cautiously, as long as it was none of their business, then they were actually safe.

Outer Town.

Lower Water Beach Flower and Bird Tavern.

Today it was an unusual place, empty and without a single guest.

The proprietress with heavy makeup leaned against the corner, her eyes widened, her mouth spitting blood, and a large hole was broken between her chest and abdomen.

Apparently she had been killed.

The ground in the inner courtyard was full of corpses, all of them were the younger brothers of the Iron Fist Gang.

A brown-haired young man stood straight at the door of the building, a burly headless corpse kneeling at his feet.

The wounds on the neck of the headless corpse were uneven, as if the head had been bitten off by a giant beast.

"First...... Sir, I don't know! I really don't know the identity of that person! ”

An Iron Fist gang prostrate in front of the young man, terrified.

The strange man barged in, and without saying a word, he went on a killing spree, and even the boss of Gary was killed by him in one move. At that time, it was just a glimpse, and the other party seemed to just raise his hand, and the head of Boss Gary was gone!

Fear crept through his heart, and he didn't dare to lie, telling everything he knew.

"This is the same person who killed Daniel's butler and took some of the craftsmen ......?"

The young man looked ahead and muttered.

After killing Daniel, Sir Paint asks him to pick up Daniel's unfinished business, and Vigre goes to Downwater.

He shifted his gaze to the headless corpse at his feet.

"Take control of the gang leaders and find out the news of Viscount Pompeii and 'Dolly'?

It seems that the transcendent in Pompeii is him......"

The young man's face was thoughtful and murderous.

"When did I expose ......? No, is it a divination-like transcendent method? ”

He pondered for a moment, and finally decided to go back to Pompeii.

Everything there has long been regarded as its own, and no matter who this unknown enemy is, it is not allowed to covet it.
