Sunlight shone through the window.
The windows of the dining room were open. Outside the windows was the backyard of the house. There was a flowerbed. Inside the flowerbed, the tulips were very beautiful. They swayed gently with the wind, and the strong fragrance of flowers drifted into the room with the wind. It was refreshing.
Ryan sat at a seat facing the windows, separated from his uncle's family by a rectangular table. On the opposite side sat his uncle Jordan Bell, his aunt Susan Bell, and his cousin Ronzo Bell, who was sitting on the top of the table on his right. Now, he was talking with confidence.
"This is rare! This is a rare good thing!"
Ronzo waved his arm. The amplitude of his movement was not big, but it was very powerful.
He stared at Ryan, who was opposite him. His eyes were bright and his expression was particularly sincere.
Ronzo had once seen Speaker Macron's speech in the upper house and often practiced in private. At this time, he was imitating that person's heroic posture. However, his performance was somewhat funny in Ryan's eyes.
"One Gold Louis!"
He raised his index finger and clicked his tongue.
"The settlement fee was a Gold Louis. As long as you sign the contract, you can have a Gold Louis!"
After a pause, Ronzo blinked.
"As long as you go to the New Continent, you will immediately become a public servant as soon as you get off the ship and work as a level six civil servant... I have been working in the city for several years, and now I am only level six. You only need to sign this contract, and you will be on the same level as me!"
Ronzo shrugged and smiled. There was a very conspicuous envy in his eyes.
After that, he did not speak. His gaze shifted to the the clock on the wall. He seemed to have suffered a blow. However, the corner of his eyes did not shift away from Ryan's face. He was carefully observing Ryan's reaction.
Ryan was silent as he searched his memories.
A few days ago, Ronzo had come to the apartment to visit Ryan and talked about this matter. At that time, the young man had been a little tempted, but in the end, out of his cautious nature, he had not agreed, but said that he needed to think about it for a while.
After leaving home to be an apprentice at the age of thirteen, except for his second cousin, James, who would occasionally come to his rented apartment for one or two nights when he was drunk, his uncle Jordan, aunt Susan, and Ronzo had not come to see him. Their meeting a few days ago was the first time Ronzo came to see him.
How could such a good thing benefit him?
This was the reason why Ryan hesitated.
Moreover, he had his own plans.
The manager of the business club, Mr. Devon, valued the youth very much. After a period of time, as long as he got the accountant certificate, he would be promoted. He would no longer be a clerk, but an assistant of Mr. Devon.
In the foreseeable future, he might be able to take over the position of manager after Mr. Devon retired.
Compared to that road, it might not seem to have the same bright future, but it was more stable and not that dangerous.
At that time, the teenager was just hesitating about it, but now, he had other ideas and connected it to the attack last night.
"The monthly salary is eighty Louis, free accommodation, and free food. As long as this kind of good news is spread, the people who rush to go can line up from the Southern Bridge to the Holy Cross Church. Ryan, what are you hesitating for!"
Uncle Jordan's voice was almost roaring.
He stared fiercely at Ryan, and his face flushed red.
"If not for your cousin's relationship with the city government, such a good thing would never have happened to you!"
"Sign it..."
His fat aunt Susan said with a smile. Her skin on her face folded, and her eyes narrowed into a line.
At this moment, Ronzo pushed a stack of documents in front of Ryan. There was a gold coin on the documents. It was illuminated by the sunlight through the window, reflecting the dazzling light.
"A Gold Louis!"
Ronzo stared at the gold coin and said in a chanting tone.
"Sign it. This Gold Louis is yours!"
Ryan's gaze also fell on the gold coin.
Although there was no evidence, he understood that this matter had something to do with the attack last night. There must be a connection between the two. Perhaps it was because he had not signed the contract and had not gone to the New Continent, which hindered someone's plan, so he had been attacked last night.
Another choice!
Ryan raised his head and looked at his uncle, Jordan.
"James..."
Jordan frowned and waited for Ryan to continue.
"I think we can let James sign this contract."
Ryan's second cousin, James Bell, was a bartender at a bar in Baker Street. He often hung out with those shady fellows, so sloppy that the Bell family's heart was scorched.
"No, James can't go to that damn place!"
Aunt Susan was hurried to interrup as she was afraid that her youngest son would stay away from her.
No matter how disappointing James was, he was still the youngest son she loved the most. If he was far away from her, she would probably never be able to see him in this lifetime. When she thought of this, her heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.
Jordan glanced at Susan with a gloomy expression.
Ronzo looked the same.
If possible, he wanted to send that disappointing brother to the New Continent.
With that guy staying his family, he would also be implicated. If he wanted to marry the daughter of a declining noble, it would not have been possible. After all, it would be too annoying if other knew that he had a ruffian brother.
Unfortunately, this contract had to be signed by Ryan.
A week ago, his superior had called him to the office and had handed the contract to him. When he had heard the name of Ryan from his superior, he had been shocked. Especially when his superior had told him to make sure that Ryan signed the contract. In this way, in assessment of the second half of the year, he would sign the recommendation letter and recommend him to take the test for the level five civil servant.
This was an unexpected surprise!
With Ronzo's qualifications and background, as well as his ability to work, a level six civil servant should be at the peak of his career. Perhaps he could be promoted to a level five civil servant before retirement, however, that was only a consolation prize and had no practical significance.
Now, he was able to obtain the opportunity to be promoted. For this, he was even willing to sell Ryan to the devil!
Moreover, he just needed to go to the New Continent.
He also looked at the contract. It was an official document, not forged.
Well, in fact, he did not look carefully. Even if this was a fake document, he would forcibly pull Ryan's hand to sign it. For this, even if it were a deal with the devil, there was no problem.
"No, James can't!"
Ronzo leaned forward and stared at Ryan.
"Compared to you, he is too inferior!"
He placed his hands on the dining table and overlapped them.
"This is a good opportunity. Only if I give it to you will I not waste it. If it were forJames, even if he forcefully escorted that guy onto the boat, he would still jump into the sea and swim back to Lanceton midway..."
Ronzo laughed as he said.
"Sign it, Ryan!"
He sat up straight and pursed his lips with a serious expression.
"I will not harm you..."
Bang!The door was heavily closed behind him. The flower basket hanging on the door was shaking. It seemed that it was about to fall. A few seconds later, the shaking stopped. The flower basket was still hanging on the door, but it was a bit crooked than before.Ryan walked down the corridor, with his hands empty.He stood on the aisle in front of the door and looked up at the sky.At noon, the sun hung above his head. When the sunlight shone upon the ground, the heat of summer was released by the cool breeze from the Star Sea. The air was filled with the smell of the moist sea.It was lunchtime, but Ryan was driven out of the door.Because he refused to sign the contract, his uncle and his family immediately became unpleased. It was definitely not possible for him to stay for lunch. As for Ryan's request, of course, it was also rejected. They said that the rain had leaked and poured into the basement. The
Amidst the scream, Ryan could not help but blink.It was as if his entire body had fallen into the eye of a tornado, and he could not help it.That is how he felt.Ryan did not allow himself to be controlled by this feeling. His mind was still highly concentrated. In his sea of consciousness, although the golden flame was weak, it was still blooming like a lotus flower.The page of the book in the center of the flame was still half open, not closed, and not completely open.Soon, he opened his eyes.Everything had disappeared!Everything returned to normal!There was no white mist, no old woman, but only lines of tombstones, leafy trees, and the sunlight that passed through the branches. Leaves fell on the ground in front of the tombstone, swaying with the wind."Dong..."At the top of the church on the mountain peak, there was a spire with a cross, and a
The young man, Ryan, had lived in this world for sixteen years and had never stepped out of Lanceton. He had been struggling for livelihood all year round. After all, Lanceton was also considered a prosperous place in the south of Franka Empire. It was the fief of the Rose Duke, and it was also a transportation hub from the south to the north. It was a commercial city. Therefore, even if Ryan did not care much about the world, he had more or less received some information. He was not a teenager who grew up in the countryside knowing nothing about this world.This world was different from Earth.This was a world where the spirit could interfere with matter.On Earth, mysticism was just a delusion. Even if he cultivated a special technique, it was only able to increase the potential of his body. He could maintain a clear mind and remain calm like a mountain. However, when he erupted, there was still no way to surpass the limits of the human body.
Putting down the knife and fork, Ryan exhaled a long breath.The sunlight penetrating through the window and felling on the dining table had moved forward a few centimeters. Now, it was almost three o'clock.Forty-five minutes.In forty-five minutes, the food in his stomach was about four or five kilograms. Normally, Ryan's stomach should be bulging. At this moment, it was difficult for him to even get up. If he moved a little, his stomach would feel extremely uncomfortable. If he moved violently, his intestines would most likely be broken.Eating so much in a short period of time, except for trained people with a big stomach, ordinary people would not be able to do it.However, Ryan's lower abdomen was extremely flat, like a plain, not a high mountain. The four or five kilograms of food seemed to have disappeared into a deep well without a trace.The digestive system of the body naturally could not do thi
The orange sunset glow floated in the western sky, dyeing most of the sky beautiful. On the other side of the port, the sound of a whistle could be heard from time to time. It was a fishing boat that had returned late at night. The outer sea of the port was just like the sky. It was colorful and undulating.Ryan walked up the slope in a sunset.The ground was covered by dirty water. The streets were piled up with garbage. the wooden houses were randomly built. The narrow alleys could only allow the two of them to walk side by side. Having no care about the environment, the children were screaming, laughing, and fooling around...Everything was normal!There seemed to be no change!But he was different from the youth before!At the entrance of the apartment, Ryan met Aunt Schultz, who was as big as a bear."Hello, Mr. Charles!"She greeted loudly, her voice loud and clear.
Fear?Scared?Unease?These emotions did not linger in Ryan's heart. It was like an uninvited wind. After entering, it only made a turn and rushed out. It did not leave any trace and did not shake Ryan.Emotions could not be eliminated but they could be controlled.That night, Ryan was still cultivating.He continued to breathe according to the mysterious breathing technique, with a strange rhythm. He meditated and thought the golden flame in the lamp which wrapped the Book of Gold.Book of Gold's half-opened title page moved up and down rhythmically as he breathed. It was like a pair of wings, fluttering slowly.The golden light flashed as if it were breathing.Blood Sea!Gradually, they entered the blood sea and were entangled by the scarlet light all over the sky, finding it difficult to get rid of.It started again!Ryan main
A light like a bean.The air was filled with a special musty smell, and the damp air wandered around the room.Ryan sat on the bed with his back against the wall. His face was pale and his breathing was rapid. His entire body was drenched in sweat. It was as if he had just gotten up from the water. He frowned.Although he was back and his consciousness returned to his body, the feeling of powerlessness still lingered in his mind.Once one was old, it was like this when one was on the verge of death?Exhaling a long breath, Ryan slowly moved his body.This body was no longer weak. Although it could not compare to Earth's body that had been trained over and over again, this body had endless potential. Unlike him on the Earth, he could no longer become strong who had already reached the end.He wondered what was the most powerful being in this mysterious world.Now, he was only seven
On April 17th, the third day of Gu Chaoyang's arrival.At seven in the morning, Ryan arrived in front of the company.The company's glass revolving door was still tightly shut. A black signboard hung on the wall on the left side of the door. There were several gold-plated flowery words engraved on it, Williams.This was the Williams Company that Ryan had served for four years.Ryan entered and walked more than ten steps forward. There was a small alley there. He turned the corner and entered the back alley.The back door of the company was opened on one side of the alley, and half-opened. Ryan walked in.He came to the storage room, came to the wardrobe, took off his clothes, and changed into his uniform.White shirt, black pants, and red vest. In the past, the youth would feel very proud when he wore these clothes, and he was proud of himself as a member of Williams. Now, of course, he did no
