I Became the King of Villains In the Game
Chapter 33
This was the first breakfast Chen Lun ate at Mrs. Caroline's place, and also the first rice he ate since traveling.
He was secretly moved to tears and expressed his satisfaction.
Mrs. Caroline's craftsmanship is great. The aroma of the rice wrapped in egg liquid and stir-fried in butter is full of charm. The chopped celery served with cod and shrimp is even more fresh and tender.
Although Chen Lun didn't like to eat fish very much, he finished it without any leftovers and drank a cup of scented tea comfortably.
"Is that your husband? Mrs. Caroline."
He noticed the two photo frames on the cabinet and couldn't help asking.
Mrs. Caroline turned around, looked at her and replied with a smile:
"Oh yes, that's my husband Henry...and our son Oliver."
"Then are they also in Amber City now?"
Chen Lun asked aloud.
Mrs. Caroline was silent for a moment.
"No, Henry died for the Empire many years ago...and so did Oliver."
Mrs. Caroline got up, took the album, and wiped the dust off it with her handkerchief.
There is a photo of Mrs Caroline as a young man and Mr Henry in military uniform, and another photo of their son Oliver.
"They died heroically in the overseas landings... May the light of the sun always shine on them."
Mrs. Caroline said a prayer and silently put down the album.
"I'm sorry, Mrs Caroline."
Chen Lun apologized.
Floyd at the side also glanced at him, through the black silk and satin, she seemed to be able to feel her slightly reproachful "eyes".
"It's okay, little Jack, it's over..."
Mrs. Caroline returned to her old smile, and she came over to refill Chen Lun's scented tea.
"Flowers bloom like fire, but also like loneliness.
Although time will make people forget, as long as I can remember them..."
Chen Lun looked at the gray-haired woman, not knowing what to say.
He had actually heard about the battle that Mrs. Caroline was talking about. The Trisul Empire had coveted land outside the mainland since a long time ago.
The giant sea island closest to Trisul Empire is just beyond the extreme east. That piece of island is called Misty Island, and there are also people living on it, and there are also civilizations.
The overseas landing war launched by the Trisur Empire can actually be said to be a colonial war.
But all these years have ended in failure.
Even after the public testing of several versions in the previous life, the empire's colonial plan still has not progressed. On that foggy island, I don't know what kind of powerful power is hidden, which can resist the attack of the empire.
"Mrs. Caroline, your cooking skills are amazing, can I learn from you?"
Floy put down the spoon, raised her head and smiled.
Mrs. Caroline was surprised, and sat down happily beside her.
"Of course, little Floyd."
Chen Lun was also surprised by Floyd's words.
But then I guessed her intention, probably to divert Mrs. Caroline's sad emotions.
What a nice girl.
"Remember to cook the cod with milk in advance, and don't break it when you cut it..."
Listening to Mrs. Caroline happily explaining the essentials of making fish ball risotto, Chen Lun gave Floy a thumbs up.
Floyd responded with a faint smile.
Then Chen Lun expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Caroline for the hospitality, and went out immediately.
After walking out of the corridor, he planned to start today's trick mode. When passing by the coffee shop next to the flower shop, I saw Connie and Kent sitting outside under the umbrella.
Kent was dancing and talking about something, with an exaggerated expression, but Connie was unmoved.
She folded her hands, a little distracted.
Chen Lun ignored and didn't care, and chose to leave directly.
In the alley across the street.
Two young men from the Iron Fist gang were smoking cigarettes boredly.
"Hey, buddy, why don't you just go in and grab that foreign girl!"
"I think you are crazy, this street is taken care of by Viscount Pompeii in the inner city, especially the flower shop.
I heard that the landlord, Mrs. Caroline, is the widow of Viscount Pompeii's comrade-in-arms... If you want to die, don't drag me! "
The young man who proposed to arrest people directly was taken aback.
"How do you know this!?"
"Don't forget, the boss often goes out to drink with the big shots in the inner city. Last time, I heard a casual statement from a subordinate of an officer."
The young man threw away the cigarette butt and pulled his leather jacket.
The other guy was a little impatient.
"Then what do we do now? That foreign girl has been hiding inside all day...
Only the man will come out to hang out, or tie him up first, and then let him bring the woman out. "
The young man who lost his cigarette butt reluctantly took off his felt cap and scratched his hair.
He looked at his companion like an idiot.
"Then you can try it. In case he calls the police, there will definitely be two of us in the drain the next day."
"Okay, okay, wait a little longer!"
...
Chen Lun bought a newspaper and sat on a bench in the square.
On the temporary high wooden platform, there is still a monk from the Red Apple Church standing today, tirelessly preaching.
"Ah, the great Lady Qiangwei, thank you for giving us health and vitality, passion and blood...
It is your compassionate gaze that sows on the world, casts seeds in the garden and grows into trees...
The holy worm eats the apples and turns them into honey, loves the suffering and pain of the world, and heals their sorrows and adversities..."
The monk walked down the platform with a look of compassion.
Two church guards who didn't know where they came from each held a tray with small boxes on it.
Many onlookers rushed forward excitedly, rushing to buy those small boxes.
"Praise Rose."
The monk lightly tapped his left chest and forehead with his index finger, spread his five fingers open, held the sky empty, and made a gesture of prayer.
Looking at the monk in red robe, Chen Lun couldn't help cursing.
Ah Hong, you are lying again, let's take a break and go to make sacrifices, okay?
Chen Lun knew exactly what was inside those small boxes.
It is a supernatural biological secretion called "fruit honey", which has healing and strengthening effects on the human body.
The side effects are not obvious, but it is very wicked.
Because it will shorten lifespan and is slightly addictive.
The secretions pulled out by finger-sized extraordinary maggots after eating apples are fruit honey.
Chen Lun felt disgusted just thinking about it.
But these ordinary people don't know it, but are willing to pay a huge "donation" in exchange for this miracle drug.
He sighed softly, the Red Apple Church is indeed very good at this.
"Hey, do you think the tax cut proposal proposed by Senator Daniel will pass?"
"How is it possible, this is too unrealistic."
Two office workers were chatting on the bench next to them, which attracted Chen Lun's attention.
He always felt that it sounded familiar, so he turned the newspaper over.
Sure enough, on a large panel, I saw a fat middle-aged man talking loudly. He is the protagonist of the recent discussions, Representative Daniel.
"Hey, Senator Daniel is a kind and upright man. It's a pity that the parliament has never listened to those opinions."
"Good guy? I don't think so... His proposals are obviously impossible to pass.
Mostly it’s just a way to catch people’s attention and solicit votes, I heard that he is planning to run for councilor in Fossil City..."
The office worker who spoke had a contemptuous tone, and he didn't seem to like that congressman very much.
His companion was a little annoyed.
"Why do you think of Senator Daniel in this way? He is one of the few councilors in Amber City who is willing to put himself in the shoes of ordinary people!"
"Oh, come on... Take this proposal as an example, after the tax reduction, Amber City's finances will not be able to support the operation of the city at all.
At that time, even the kerosene lamps on the road will not be lighted by lampholders, so don't fall into the ditch when you go out at night! "
The two office workers argued, but Chen Lun didn't listen carefully.
Because he suddenly remembered one thing, this MP Daniel seemed to be the target of the protection of the small guild in his previous life.
It was this congressman who would eventually be killed by Dolly...
