I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 32 Loyalty

"I'm sorry Mrs. Bute, Charlotte, she hasn't come home since last night, I'm sorry for your question, it's hard to answer."

"By the way, Alfred brought an umbrella here, how could you let Mrs. Bute go back in the rain."

Hearing the shadowy eviction order from the figure who had been sitting behind the sofa enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, Mrs. Bute's complexion was cloudy, as if a storm was about to erupt...but she finally endured the eruption of anger, and there was still a trace of it left. My reason is reminding myself - don't get angry and don't lose your temper!You must know that what you are facing now is the Duke of Holmes! ! !

She declined, to be precise, she should have waved her arm and slapped off the big black umbrella handed over by the butler, and turned away with her last proud steps.

Seeing the distinguished guest leaving in a hurry, the maid who didn't know what had happened rushed after her with her umbrella open, but what awaited her was Mrs. Bute's slap in the face.

"Go away!"

The Marchioness strutted out into the rain like a proud stripped rooster.

Her exquisite make-up was in a mess, her hair was soaked with water dripping down, and her face was gloomy like a female ghost floating from the bottom of a lake.

She took the towel from the head maid and wiped her face. The anger that had been brewing all the way could not be vented. At this moment, the stagnation in her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and it seemed to be fermenting into something else...

When the Marchioness put down the towel, a ray of resentment crawled across her thin face.

"Go and find Ottavio Burton and tell him—I'm willing to offer £10000 for the head of John H. Watson!"

………………

In a private booth in a bar somewhere.

Ottavio Burton, a well-known member of the London underground gang, was slightly surprised when he heard the report of this charming lady with a mature charm inside and out:

"Oh? 10000 pounds, this is not a small amount of money!"

He filtered the existing information in his head. According to the head maid, the target is the assistant of Miss Holmes's family, and it can be regarded as the subordinate of the younger half of the Duke's family. If he kills it rashly, it may cause him some small troubles. ...But it's just a little trouble.

This generous reward is second to none, the key is to be able to climb up the relationship with the Marquis of Bute.

Octavio laughed, showing his golden front teeth, slapped his strong chest vigorously, and said:

"You can rest assured to tell the Marquis that we, Brother Burton, will continue to do this job, and please ask her to wait for our good news!"

"Ah."

The head maid took out a roll of sterling banknotes from her handbag and threw it on the dirty and oily table, "This is a deposit of 2000 pounds. The Marchioness hopes that you can act quickly. Our time is very precious."

"Don't worry, within a week, we will cut off the damn boy's head and give it to the Marchioness as a gift!"

Only then did the head maid nodded in satisfaction and left, twisting her plump buttocks, swinging her slender waist, and leaving with her stomping high heels.

Octavio looked at the wasp waist and fat buttocks, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, damn this woman is really strong!
He yelled, "Jack, get out of here!"

Immediately, a face with a wretched expression like a mouse pushed open the door and poked its head in, and asked with a smile, "Boss, what's your order?"

Jack is an old employee of the Burton Brothers. Although his abilities are not very outstanding, he has been hanging out on the streets of London for a long time, and he has contacts from all walks of life.

Octavios thought about it. If he directly asked his subordinates to complete the task, he might offend the Duke of Holmes' family, but as long as he outsourced the work and made a short transfer, even if Duke Holmes wanted to blame him, he could still use the outsourced contractor. Come to take the blame.

"You go to a bunch of nimble fellows and tell them I've got an easy job here worth £3000 to introduce them to."

………………

Elrich is responsible for the external business of the Shining Blade Order, material procurement, relationship management, and other tedious and energy-sapping chores are all managed by him alone.

Fortunately, the number of members of the sect is small at present. As the little leader of an underground gang, he has good interpersonal skills and resources in addition to fighting fiercely. This is why the sect master assigned him to this important position.

After listening to the message from Jack, the Burton brother's messenger, he touched the scar on his left cheek, and took out the pocket knife he carried with him to pick the shreds of meat remaining between the gaps between his teeth.

At last he put the knife back into his boot, and replied:

"No problem, you tell Mr. Octavio, leave this matter to us, and in a few days, this John H. Watson will surely usher in his deadline."

Jack nodded, and took out a part of the deposit left by the boss from his arms and patted it on the table.

"This is a deposit of 300 pounds for you. After the matter is completed, I will exchange the boy's head for the remaining 2200 pounds."

There is a deposit? !

Elrich has been dealing with the Burton Brothers for so long, and this is the first time he can receive money without starting work... It seems that Brother Jack is still thinking about the old relationship, and he really introduced us to a fat job. , It is not in vain that I have stuffed him with so much money.

He quickly stuffed the banknotes into the inner pocket of his jacket, thought for a while, and then took out half of the face value of the banknotes and stuffed them into Jack's hands.

"Brother Jack, it's been a hard journey. I heard that Alice is going to be three years old recently? This little money is just a little bit of my care, to buy some small gifts for the child."

Jack couldn't help curling his lips, just trying to get rid of me for a hundred pounds?But it doesn't matter... I've already kept my share anyway.

"Be nimble, but don't be quick when you take the money, and slow down when you start working... It's bad for our reputation."

"Don't worry about our work!"

………………

It was late at night, and Elrich returned to headquarters.

"Master, Jack from Burton Brothers introduced us to a good job!"

"As long as we bring the head of John H. Watson from the Sherlock Holmes detective agency, we can exchange it for 2000 pounds!"

"It's a deposit of £100 they paid in advance."

The face of the leader is hidden under the shadow of the wide brim of the hat, and it is difficult to figure out his thoughts.

Elrich couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, maybe the leader has already noticed that I am pocketing...

"Good job Brother Elrich, I have seen your contribution to the order, and I will give priority to you in the next promotion ceremony!"

The promotion ceremony...Elrich thought of those disciples who went crazy after the ceremony failed, and couldn't help being a little timid, but then he thought about the great strength of the disciples who succeeded in the promotion, and he couldn't help yearning and longing in his heart.

He knelt down on one knee and shouted respectfully: "Thank you for the recognition of the leader, Elrich is willing to swear allegiance to the leader to the death! Become the sharpest blade of the leader, cut off the thorns and heads in front of you, and defend the oath with my life!"

"Well, you go out and call Feuerbach to come in again."

"Yes!"

Victor Feuerbach walked into the secret room after a while, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Brother Victor, our church is currently at a critical juncture. A certain detective's assistant seems to have grasped our inconclusive evidence..."

"Scary! There is such a thing? Then do you want me to go..."

Victor didn't continue talking, but stroked his throat with his fingers, making a movement of wiping his neck.

"Oh... I can only trouble you to make a trip."

"Brother Victor, I have paid attention to your work for the sect, and you will be given priority in the next promotion ceremony!"

"You take this money first, and treat it as a reward for your hard work during this time."

Victor Feuerbach received a huge sum of money worth up to 50 pounds, and heard that he had the opportunity to participate in the next promotion ceremony, he was so happy and almost tearful, the leader is so kind to me , My loyalty to him is not in vain!
