Extraordinary Puppet Master

After watching the old butler leave, Karin shook his head.

Interpersonal interactions in upper class society are cumbersome and complicated.

It's been almost a week since he moved here, and the nearby residents have been secretly observing him.

After seeing Eric hanging out in high-end restaurants and theaters spending lavishly all day long, I was now sure that he was really rich and not a liar, so I invited him to the banquet.

Only by attending this banquet and performing perfectly can you integrate into the upper class circles of Central District.

Carlin shook his head and didn't take it to heart and continued to refine the potion. Eric planted the tree seeds and arranged the growth ceremony before going out and continuing to wander.

Three hours passed unknowingly, and it was noon.

Eric ordered a roast chicken and steak at a high-end restaurant and prepared to feast on it. At this time, Carlin finally finished refining two promotion potions.

In the dark basement, after tidying up the alchemy garbage, he sunk his mind into the virtual kingdom of God, touching the stars of Charles and sending a message.

"Reply as soon as possible if it's convenient!"

Charles, who was having a meal at home, was suddenly startled by the voice in his head, but he reacted immediately.

He put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a tissue after swallowing the food in his mouth, quickly rummaged through the cabinets at home to find some materials, spent ten minutes setting up a ceremony in the restaurant, and then concentrated on praying.

‘Great Rancher, pious Lamb prays for your response. ’

In an instant, he felt that the connection between his soul and Karin became clearer and clearer, and finally formed an invisible channel for dialogue in his heart.

"Captain, is there anything I can do for you?"

Karin nodded with satisfaction, the signal was clear.

"We are temporarily living in the apartment at No. 9 Jasmine Street. It was rented by the ghost. It is very troublesome to communicate with the neighbors and some things are inconvenient, so everyone except the ghost will come to live with you."

"No problem," Charles agreed first, and then expressed his difficulty, "But, Captain, my office may not have that many guest rooms."

"You don't have to worry about this. We all use meditation instead of sleeping. We don't have high requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as there is a place to set up an alchemy workbench, I will live in your basement and will expand the underground space in the future."

"We are always waiting for your arrival."

Carlin also made this decision to keep Eric's identity innocent.

Even if a rich man from the upper class lives a very frugal life in private, if he does not want to be ostracized by others, a lot of expenses are unavoidable.

You can rent carriages and houses, but you can't do everything by yourself without your own servants.

In this era, a person's behavior of taking care of all the housework personally will not be evaluated as hardworking by others, but will only be treated with contempt and rejection.

In orthodox belief, only lower-class people would do housework themselves.

If Eric wants to maintain his personality, he has to make some compromises and abide by the rules of this era, so Carlin is going to let him hire a maid.

At least he didn't want Eric to act unsociable.

They just completed a triple kill last night. The identities of Sniko, Charles, and Chloe are all very sensitive. Their deaths may have caused an uproar in the outside world.

Based on Carlin's understanding of the organization, the Fateweaver Order wouldn't worry about taking the initiative to find him.

As long as there are no instructions involved, they won't care too much about the life and death of individual members. At most, they can just send a clue solver to the crime scene to divine and make a record.

Even if Chloe is a professional and has a high status within the sect, they only care about various instructions and will not go out in large numbers for the personal enmity of the members.

But Carlin also knew that if he killed a few more professional-level members of the cult, the other party would probably launch a massive counterattack.

However, Chloe's identity as another count's second daughter, coupled with the identities of Fosnico and Charles, will also cause the official to take action.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, a large number of extraordinary people and police officers will conduct a large-scale manhunt in the Steam City, searching for all suspicious characters.

If Eric, as a rich man who had just arrived from the New World, behaved unsociably at this time, he would definitely be noticed, and it would not be impossible for even a Secret Service agent to come and read the gas meter in person.

In this case, Carlin decided to move with other marionettes to try to reduce Eric's troubles.

After making up his mind, he put away the workbench and alchemy waste, and Drake and the witch got directly into the backpack behind Snitch.

After packing up their things, the two disappeared and quickly headed towards nearby Kling Street.

Ten minutes later, two figures suddenly appeared at the dining table, once again interrupting Ciel's meal, and the witch and Drake also jumped out of Snitch's backpack.

However, after the previous fright, his immunity had improved a lot. He was not too surprised by the mysterious people and just looked at Carlin respectfully.

Karin also took a look at Ciel. After not seeing him for more than nine hours, Ciel had already changed drastically.

The scruffy beard on his face was shaved cleanly, and the messy hair was neatly combed.

Wearing a gray double-breasted suit, the tie on the chest is meticulously tied, and the monocle on the bridge of the nose gives Charles a lean temperament.

At this time, Charles looked more like a senior lawyer.

To be honest, if Ciel hadn't said it himself before, Carlin wouldn't have believed that the sloppy man before was a senior lawyer who owned his own firm.

"Are you preparing to reopen?"

Karin looked at him for a while and then asked curiously.

"Yes," Charles nodded, "Due to the death of his father, the office has been abandoned for a long time. Now that Chloe is dead, it's time to start over, and you also need someone who can access all kinds of intelligence. channels.”

"Not bad, are you ready to recruit people?"

"I had this plan before, but since you want to live in my house, I won't recruit anyone for the time being."

After hearing this, Carlin shook his head: "Don't worry about us. The office can develop as it wants. We can just stay in the basement. We won't go out unless necessary."

"Ok, I see."

Then Carlin said to him: "You know this person Connor Massim, right?"

"Know."

"I don't know much about this person. Ghost has only met him a few times and spoken to him briefly."

Charles pondered for a moment and then said: "Connor is very famous throughout the Central District. He was born in an ordinary employee family in the Central District. Later, he worked hard on his own to make a fortune. Now he is a famous rich man in the Central District.

He is a board member of several large companies in the business district and has many properties under his name.

In addition to the two rented apartments he owns on Molly Street, he also owns a luxurious private villa on nearby Mary Avenue.

The family employs a housekeeper, a dedicated chef, and a coachman for a total of eight servants, as well as its own private high-end carriage."

Charles also showed an envious look as he spoke, which was the envy of rich people.

But when he thought that he was now a member of the Shadow Brigade, his expression became proud.

No matter how rich Connor's net worth is, he can't compare with the leader and the others.

"Since he is so rich, is he an extraordinary person?"
