They all call me master.

Chapter 36: The Roar of the Adventist (Please read~Please support~)

Arthur's [Physique] is 1.7, which is 1.7 times that of ordinary people, and [Physique] includes all aspects of the body such as strength, speed, reaction, vision, and hearing.

So Arthur heard the sound of boots on muddy water, but no one else could.

"Mr. Kratos, what's wrong?"

Wiggins looked at Arthur who was about to speak, but suddenly stopped moving, and couldn't help but ask.

Arthur sighed first and then said.

"'Anna' told me I had guests!"

"guest?"

Goldfinger glanced at the weird puppet in Arthur's arms that made his back shiver, and couldn't help but take a step back.

The Goldfinger felt uncomfortable when he faced 'Anna' before.

And the scene just now on the carriage made this discomfort even further.

Now?

It has reached the extreme.

If Arthur wasn't still here, Goldfinger would definitely turn around and leave.

In fact, Wiggins, who was born on the street, has seen too many tricks and will never be fooled.

But unfortunately, he met Arthur.

It started from Dokul's death from the 'curse', to the revelation of the 'Axe Murderer', and then to the public carriage just now.

Each one, each one, is a human life!

No wonder Wiggins didn't believe it.

It also made Wiggins jealous.

There is always fear of the unknown.

Wiggins is no exception.

In Wiggins' view, the strange-looking 'Anna' is as terrifying as the invisible curse.

On the opposite side of Wiggins is Scott, the young reporter looking at the puppet with curiosity and enthusiasm.

He really wishes he had the 'talent' too.

At that time, you will be able to know what 'Anna' said.

And just when Wiggins and Scott had different expressions, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Yes, Wiggins' men.

He is also a boy of fourteen or five years old.

"Boss, it's a blue dog!"

Blue dog is a derogatory term for the police. Most people from the street will call the police behind their backs.

Without hesitation, Wiggins walked to the corner and opened a secret door.

"go!"

For Wiggins, it doesn't matter what the police are looking for him, the important thing is that the police can't find him.

As a well-known Goldfinger in the neighborhood, Wiggins knew all too well that the methods of the police were even more frightening than those of the gang members.

Wiggins’ four men apparently knew it too.

He ran directly towards the secret door.

However, Arthur waved his hand.

"'Anna' told me they meant no harm."

This is of course not a guess, but the voice of an acquaintance.

The retiring Constable III: Maltz.

Arthur clearly heard the other party yelling at his men not to chase Wiggins' men, and to exercise restraint.

Arthur didn't know why the other party came here.

But Arthur knew how to make 'Anna' deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Didn’t you see that Scott’s eyes were shining?
Wiggins hesitated slightly.

Finally, he asked his four men to take the beggar and escape through the secret passage, but he himself chose to stay.

After just getting the 1 golden ticket, the relationship between the two parties became more and more subtle. Let Wiggins leave alone and leave Arthur here. If an accident happens, his reputation in the neighborhood will become bad. No one will believe him, no one will hire him.

Even his men would leave him.

They are obviously doing sneaky things, but at certain times they pay special attention to their reputation. This is the kind of person who makes a living on the street.

The streets are such a wonderful place
Therefore, Wiggins asked his men to leave first. He chose to believe Arthur, but he did not dare to risk his men.

After all, this is only his choice.

Arthur held 'Anna' in his arms and looked at Wiggins with interest.

The other party was more responsible than he thought.

this is a good news.

However, for Maltz who came outside the door, it was not good news.

The third-level police officer who was about to retire really didn't want to see Arthur.

He did not want to get involved in the dispute over the Sheriff of the Shire.

I don’t even want to lose my life before retirement.

But in the face of orders from his superiors, Maltz came anyway.

Seeing Arthur in the room holding a puppet with two pigtails, a strange face, and a small skirt standing there smiling at him, Maltz's legs went weak.

Before he came, he knew that Arthur was bringing a scary guy with him today.

But he didn't expect that it would be such a thing.

What a bunch of goddamn guys!

Maltz naturally complained about his superior's order to find Arthur.

Why not find someone else but him?
It's just that he is about to retire and his style of doing things has changed and become easier to handle.

Ugh!
Hold on!
Hold on!
You can retire soon!

Can……

Can you really wait until retirement?Maltz asked himself, and the answer was obvious.

Even if he gets through this difficulty, there will be another difficulty waiting for him.

Even if you survive every difficulty, what will happen after retirement?

A plate of food?
Maltz took a deep breath, and his inner thoughts began to change slightly.

Under such a change, he looked at Arthur almost subconsciously.

He knew that this was the key point for him to break the situation.

Can……

Maltz, who was still hesitant in his heart, smiled at Arthur.

"Good morning, Mr. Kratos."

The third-level police officer who was about to retire said hello while looking at Scott and Wiggins.

The two glanced at Arthur, and after noticing that Arthur was smiling and nodding, they wisely walked out of the room with the other patrol officers, and closed the door of the room.

When there were only two people left in the room, the smile on the face of the retired third-level police officer became more and more friendly, and he calmly took out a golden ticket with a face value of 5.

“This is compensation for the damage to your yard.”

"You can repair it first. If it's not enough, you can tell me and I will help you apply again."

As the other party said this, he wanted to hand Arthur the 5 gold ticket.

But Arthur took a step back.

You know, although there was a big hole in his yard and a lot of damage to the lawn, it didn't cost 5 gold tickets to fill the hole or trim the lawn.

As long as you go to any family in Dal Lane and hire the eldest or second son of the family, you can get a full deal for just 1 rope.

If you are patient, you can keep the price down.

For the eldest son and the second son who mainly work part-time jobs, this kind of extra income is really a dream, especially since the work is not heavy.

Mud is everywhere.

Grass can also be seen everywhere.

To make it simple, just let the younger brothers and sisters at home dig some.

The only thing that needs work is the final touches.

To them, this money is the same as picking it up.

But now, this third-level police officer who is about to retire has directly given him 50 times the salary. If he says there is nothing fishy in it, Arthur will not believe it.

Moreover, based on the memory of his predecessor, he knew that the subsidies given by the Nanlos police could not be so fast or so large.

Facing Arthur's retreat, Maltz immediately took out two more gold tickets with a face value of 5 and put them in his hands to once again show his sincerity.

But Arthur remained indifferent.

Looking at Arthur's appearance, Maltz chuckled.

He knows that a golden ticket cannot impress the other party.

But he knew there was something that could impress him.

Or, to be precise, it is something that can impress the other person.

But he was still a little hesitant.

It wasn't that he hesitated to tell Arthur that.

But hesitation, how much should be told!

Sudden--

Boom!

A thunder sounded outside the house, lightning flashed across the sky, and the dazzling light shone through the crack in the door, passing by Maltz, then by Arthur, and finally, it flashed away.

Maltz lowered his head and stared blankly at the ground where the light of lightning disappeared.

He recalled the brilliance of lightning just now, it seemed...

It turned into a rope that tied him and Arthur together.

He blinked.

After more than ten seconds, the third-level police officer finally made a decision in his heart.

"I know who is behind Joseph."

The voice of the other party was muffled.

Arthur smiled.

He raised his hand and took Maltz's hand holding the golden ticket.

Arthur naturally knew who Joseph was.

"I also know what that person is planning."

Maltz said specifically.

After saying that, he stared straight at Arthur.

The other party's intention is obvious: cooperate and the other party will tell him everything he knows.

"Go ahead."

Arthur nodded.

Maltz immediately said——

"Since early yesterday morning, there have been four cases of missing children in the Shire District. The one you reported before is the fifth."

"We are looking for children who were previously lost."

"And, and..."

Speaking of this, the third-level police officer became hesitant.

Arthur frowned and asked directly.

"What else?"

After glancing at Arthur, he said with an extremely guilty conscience.

"Also, something just happened..."

"The baby you rescued was snatched away."
