Lord of The Mysterious Realms

Chapter 994: Mr Birch

Views:

The Bishop seemed worried about Jenkins getting involved with the kingdom's affairs, but Jenkins had no interest in that.

"You don't have to worry about it. I won't go into politics."

Jenkins assured, and then asked:

"Who is the head of the banking department of the Hampawa Kingdom?"

"It was the former Minister of Finance, but at the same time, Salci II also sent one of his daughters to participate in the departmental reorganization. Presumably, he did not want all the rights to be delegated to the parliament... Speaking of which, the relevant decrees of the Kingdom of Hampavo, in To some extent, your opinion is the same, and it seems that they have also found an economist who can understand the future development trend like you."

Jenkins has never been an economist, nor will he ever be. After bidding farewell to the bishop, he went to Dad's antique shop. Dad was surprised that Jenkins was half an hour late today, but knowing that he was going to church in the morning, he didn't ask any more questions.

It's another peaceful and peaceful day, and maybe the skull sword thing has really drained all the bad luck.

In the morning, the old painter and the owner of the art exhibition visited the antique shop again to see if Jenkins had recovered.

In order to entertain them, Jenkins did nothing else all morning. It was close to eleven o'clock before the two were sent away, and then it was already lunch time.

Nothing happened in the afternoon, even if I went out to deliver things for my father, there was no accident. In the evening, the church sent a letter to Dad, asking him to go to the church to participate in an important meeting, which seemed to be related to the [Alien Frenzy]. So Jenkins got off work an hour early, turned around and locked the door of the antique shop, hesitated at the door, and finally decided to go to see Mr. Birch before tonight's fighting class started.

The chocolate reminds Jenkins to have dinner first before doing other things. With this "cat-shaped alarm clock", Jenkins will never have to worry about missing the meal time.

Mr. Birch's real name is Jack Wood, a combination of a very common name and a very common surname, and he is a very normal middle-aged man.

His job is the accountant of a large factory in this city. Besides himself, he has his mother, wife and two teenage children in his family.

When Mr. Birch met the flower girl, he already knew that he couldn't survive. He knew some of the strange characteristics of the flower girl, and in order to prevent the power of the strange thing from affecting his family, he chose to refuse the deal and die happily. He even informed the church about his encounter with A-01-2-0198 before he died. , I hope that because of the valuable information I have provided, my family will be taken care of.

After Mr. Birch passed away, the Wood family moved out of their original residence. Although there are women and children in the family, everyone has a relatively legitimate source of income, and Mr. Birch has left a considerable amount of inheritance.

Coupled with the support from the church and the help of friends in the past, the Wood family's life is actually not too bad, at least better than Jenkins imagined.

He put on a black robe and changed the color of the reluctant cat before walking to the current address of the Wood family. It was a rental apartment facing the street, and a family of four lived in a room on the second floor. There is no adult man in the family, which makes it difficult for them to live in the already complicated alley, so they can only move here.

Looking up at the third floor of the apartment across the street, a carriage drove up from the other side of the street and stopped right in front of Jenkins. A young woman, stylishly dressed in a veil, stepped out of the carriage, and was very surprised to see the man with the white cat.

"Hi, good evening, Miss Lark."

Jenkins greeted Hathaway like this, the woman who disguised herself and used a spell to disguise her face immediately stepped back into the carriage vigilantly. After Jenkins asked the driver for the fare and paid, she reluctantly walked down.

"Recognize me? Don't worry, I'm not here to wait for you."

He pointed to the apartment opposite: "I think we just happen to have the same purpose."

"How did you recognize me?"

Hathaway was still very vigilant. Among the four people who participated in Mr. Hood's party, she had the most serious distrust of Mr. Candle.

"It's my talent."

He replied with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation:

"I want to visit the Wood family now, do you want to go together? Or wait for me to come out, and you will find another chance to knock on the door?"

Two consecutive visits from strangers would of course cause alarm, so the reluctant Hathaway ended up walking up the doorstep with Jenkins.

Jenkins reached out and knocked on the door. After explaining his purpose to the landlord, Mr. Birch's mother came down from the stairs and saw the two of them. Although Jenkins is off work now, Mrs. Wood and her two children, who are engaged in relatively low-end jobs, are still working in the factory. Only Mr. Birch's mother is at home.

She was quite wary of two people who claimed to be friends with her late son, so she didn't invite them in at first. It wasn't until Hathaway took out a rusty necklace that she looked suspiciously at the strange men and women in front of her again, then slowly turned around and invited them to sit upstairs.

Four people live in one room, which makes the interior of the house look quite messy, and there is also some sour smell. The cat, which is very sensitive to smell, jumped onto the window sill with the open window, looking at the street scene outside in a very bored manner.

There were two pots of cacti that were dying on the windowsill. Chocolate knew that it would pierce his mouth, so Jenkins didn't have to worry about it eating it.

Sitting on the sofa with Hathaway, the old man soon brought them teacups, but there was only white water in them.

Without wasting any time, Jenkins explained the purpose of his visit, and Jenkins drew the shape of the fruit bowl on the paper in the form of a color photo, and asked the old man if he knew this thing. Hathaway claimed to pick up the things according to the agreement. Mr. Birch had promised her that once he died, the wooden statue he owned would belong to Hathaway half a year later.

Things went well, and both Jenkins and the redhead achieved their goals. The old man remembered the fruit bowl, because she bought it from a second-hand dealer, and she could clearly explain the address of the store; and the old man also knew the wooden statue Hathaway mentioned, which was Mr. Birch The relics of the family were brought into the apartment when they moved.

Although the old man didn't know the agreement between the late son and the woman in front of him, Hathaway didn't refuse such a generous deal because of the enough gold pounds she offered.
