Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 158
After watching the old butler leave, Karin shook his head.

Interpersonal interactions in high society are cumbersome and complicated.

It's been almost a week since I moved here, and the nearby residents have actually been watching him secretly.

Seeing Eric idling around in high-end restaurants and theaters spending money lavishly all day long, it is only now that he is sure that he is really rich and not a liar, so he is invited to the banquet.

Participate in this banquet and perform flawlessly to fit into the circle of Midtown high society.

Shaking his head, Karin didn't take it seriously, and continued to refine the potion, while Eric planted the tree and arranged the growth ceremony, and then went out to continue wandering.

Three hours passed without knowing it, and it was noon.

Eric ordered a grilled chicken and steak in a high-end restaurant to feast on. At this time, Karin finally finished refining the two potions for promotion.

In the dark basement, after he cleaned up the alchemy trash, he sank his mind into the virtual kingdom of God, and touched Shire's star to send a message.

"Respond as soon as possible!"

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

He put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a paper towel after swallowing the food in his mouth, quickly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at home to find some materials, arranged a ceremony in the restaurant for 10 minutes, and then focused on praying.

'Great rancher, pious lamb implore your response. '

Suddenly, he felt that the connection between his soul and Karin became more and more clear, and finally formed an invisible channel to communicate in his heart.

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

Karin nodded in satisfaction, the signal was very clear.

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

"No problem," Charles first agreed, and then explained his difficulties, "However, Captain, my office may not have so many guest rooms."

"You don't have to worry about it. 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 arrange an alchemy workbench, I will live in the basement of your house, and I will expand the underground space in the future."

"Waiting for your arrival at any time."

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

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

Carriages and houses can be rented, but you can't do everything by yourself without your own servants.

In this era, the behavior of a person doing all the housework himself will not be evaluated as hardworking by others, but only contempt and rejection.

In the orthodoxy, only inferior people would do the housework by themselves.

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

At least he didn't want Eric to act like he didn't fit in.

Just completed a triple kill last night. The identities of Snicker, Charles, and Chloe are very sensitive. Their deaths probably caused an uproar in the outside world.

Based on Karin's understanding of the organization, the Destiny Order would not worry about taking the initiative to find him.

As long as no orders are involved, the life and death of individual members will not be too concerned. The most is to send an interpreter to the scene of the crime to divination and make a record.

Even if Chloe is a professional class and has a high status within the religious order, what they care about is only various instructions, and they will not make a big move for the personal enmity of the members.

But Karin also knew that if he killed a few more professional-level members of the religious order, it is estimated that the other party would also launch a large-scale counterattack.

However, Chloe's identity as the second daughter of the count, coupled with the identities of Fen Snicker and Charles, will also make the officials go to war.

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

If Eric, as a rich man who just came here from the New World not long ago, is not very gregarious at this time, then he will definitely be noticed, and it is not impossible for Secret Service agents to come to the door to read the gas meter in person.

In this case, Karin decided to move with other secret puppets, trying to minimize trouble for Eric.

After making up his mind, he put away the workbench and alchemy waste, and Drake and the witch went straight into the backpack behind Snicker.

After packing up their things, the figures of the two disappeared and quickly moved towards the nearby Kelin Street.

Ten minutes later, two figures suddenly appeared beside the dining table, interrupting Charles' meal again, and Miko and Drake also jumped out of Snicker's backpack.

However, after the previous fright, his immunity has improved a lot, and he was not surprised by the few people who appeared and disappeared, but just looked at Karin respectfully.

Karin also looked at Shire, and after only nine hours, Shire has changed a lot.

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

Wearing a gray double-breasted suit, the bow tie on the chest is meticulously tied, and the monocle on the bridge of the nose makes Charles show a capable temperament.

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

To be honest, if Charles hadn't said it before, Karin wouldn't have believed that the sloppy man was a senior lawyer with his own firm.

"Are you planning to reopen?"

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

"Yes," Charles nodded, "Because of his father's death, the office has been abandoned for a long time, and now that Chloe is dead, it's time to start again, and you also need a person who can access all kinds of information 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 people for the time being."

Karin shook his head after hearing this: "Don't worry about us, the firm can develop as it wants, we just stay in the basement, and we won't go out unless necessary."

"Ok, I see."

Then Carlin said to him again: "You know Connor Massim, don't you?"

"know."

"I don't know much about this person, and the ghost has only met him a few times and said a few words, simply talking about this person."

After pondering for a moment, Charles said, "Connor is well-known throughout the Central District. He was born in an ordinary employee family in the Central District. Later, he worked hard to make a fortune on his own. Now he is a well-known rich man in the Central District.

He is on the board of directors of several large companies in the business district and has many properties to his name.

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

The family hired a housekeeper, a dedicated cook, a coachman, a total of eight servants, and their own private high-end carriage."

Charles also showed envy as he spoke, it was envy for the rich.

But when he thought that he was also 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 group leader and the others.

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