But the Earl of Hicks apparently did not see it that way, and perhaps he did not realize the reason for his assassination at all, and boasted to the crowd of people

"It seems that this Anwen is still not so terrifying, you see, a little trick has successfully deceived him. ”

"Sure enough, it's still a descendant of the East Side, and I can't do anything big."

When he said this, he still used an expression of disgust, so Xavier couldn't help but interrupt him

"Earl, I suggest you first see how many of the people present are descendants of the Eastern District. ”

Along with his words, Earl Hicks felt the 'friendly' eyes from many special forces members, which made him smile embarrassedly, "That's not what I meant, I mean"

"Anyway. Xavier didn't have the good to listen to him continue, "If you continue to be the owner of the factory like this, ignoring the life and death of the employees, then even if Anwen dies, there will still be a second Anwen and a third Anwen." ”

"It's good to do it yourself. ”

With that, he left the Earl's villa under the stunned gaze of Earl Hicks.

Several members of the special forces next to them wanted to shout a 'good scolding' and silently cheer for this warrior in their hearts.

As for Earl Hicks, he was in a state of how dare others contradict him, he was an earl! Who was that black-haired swordsman, who dared to be so rude!

"Captain Andrew, is this man your subordinate, why is this so?"

If he knew who he really was, he would punish him for his rudeness!For example, let him shout sorry in front of a lot of people, Earl Hicks!

But Andrew obviously won't tell his true identity, but only part of the truth, which has a misleading effect: "He's not my subordinate, and I don't know who he is, but as far as I know, he's very close to Count Josephine in the Magical Society." ”

"That's it" Earl Hicks, who was still a little dissatisfied, suddenly disappeared, although he was also an earl, he knew the true strength of Josephine, a strong woman, that was through military exploits, not bought back like him, and it could not be hereditary at all!

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked, he silently warned himself in his heart, dispelling the idea of revenge on Xavier.

~~~~~~

Two days later.

Xavier, who had received five kilograms of Lang (the bounty for killing Amponpandragon), came to the bank with the money and obtained some certificates of evidence.

With these certificates, he could exchange the money he needed at bank branches in other regions, somewhat similar to the silver bills in Xavier's previous life.

As for the other krona, he planned to stay in the bank like this, just to earn that little bit of interest, even if it was one percent per annum, it was already a few tens of kroner, equivalent to Xavier's previous monthly salary for several months

It's like a moonlight man suddenly becoming a millionaire, but for the inner city, a million is just the beginning, after all, a few thousand crowns can buy a house at most.

After visiting the bank, Xavier went to the Inner City Police Station, obtained Sika's cremated ashes, and took them to the East End.

The East District is still not so much changed, the garbage that can be seen everywhere, the girls who sell themselves on the roadside, the beggars in tattered clothes, etc., etc., this is the characteristic of the East District.

Sika Matheson's original home seems to have been sealed, and Xavier can still faintly hear Sika's neighbors discussing where he has gone.

"Looks like he was taken away by his son to live a good life!" said one woman.

"It's great, if only my son were so good. Another woman sighed.

Listening to their words, Xavier had no intention of correcting it, but continued to bring Sika's ashes to the East End Cemetery.

He did not bury him at random, but placed him next to a woman.

Liv Pendragon, Sika's wife, Anwen's mother.

Xavier was able to find her grave here by some means, and buried Sika's ashes with her.

Immediately afterward, he laid a few flowers on the grave, bowed respectfully, and then left the tomb where he still felt guilty.

~~~~~~

After leaving, Xavier went to the restaurant where he had eaten in the East End last time, and like last time, it was also crowded, and Xavier was about to find a place to sit down, when he heard a shout.

"Come here, sir!" a man called out to him.

It turned out that he was the man Xavier had met here before, and Xavier had invited him to dinner here last time.

And today, he still seemed to be quite happy, and welcomed Xavier to sit next to him with a smile on his face.

Xavier responded with a smile, then said to the shopkeeper, "Have a plate of dumplings!"

"You're still eating these. The man in front of him couldn't help but smile when he listened to his order, "But sir, you can eat more today, I can invite you to eat!"

"Why?" Xavier asked rhetorically.

"Because today our factory boss has paid more wages!" the man smiled from the heart, "I don't know if he suddenly had a big conscience or something, but he actually came to us and said that we worked too hard, and paid us double the salary!"

"Such a good boss?" Xavier replied with a smile, "How come I've never heard of him, what's his name?"

"Earl Hicks! He's such a good boss that he's willing to pay more. The man didn't notice the dull expression on Xavier's face, and said happily to himself, "That's ten crowns, enough for me to pay the rent for two or three months, and I don't have to worry about it for a while."

"Even, if it were like this every month, I wouldn't have to live here with my children. ”

Feeling that happy thought, Xavier inexplicably had a sense of disobedience, and then quickly realized how much money this pile of money, which seemed small to many people, meant to the man in front of him.

"So, sir, you must let me have a treat today, as if I was making up for the last meal!" said the man to Xavier with sincerity after exclaiming.

"Okay, but first, I eat a lot. Xavier couldn't help but shake his heart and smiled at the man.

"It doesn't matter. The man patted his chest and said he was fine, "By the way, sir, do you want to drink?"

"Have a drink. ”

"Very well, let's have a toast together, for what?" the man poured beer for Xavier's glass.

"Just for the ten crowns. Xavier suggested.

"Okay, just for the ten crowns, cheers!"

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of two wine glasses clashing and the man's heartfelt laughter.

Listening to the satisfied laughter, Xavier couldn't help but smile sincerely.
