Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 414: Kallen’s “Friend”

The train carrying goods stopped at the platform of Chernoborg Railway Station. With her agility, Karen jumped off the train before it stabilized.

The speed of trains in this era was not very fast, so although this action was somewhat dangerous, it was not uncommon for people who often dealt with trains.

For some elderly people who deal with trains, it is normal to run a few steps on the platform to catch up with the train, or jump off a train that is still in motion.

But even so, Jon, who followed along, still nags at Kallen: "Kafka, it's too dangerous for you to jump like this. What if you lose your balance and fall?"

"Okay, Jon, stop nagging like an old woman. The train has slowed down and I won't fall." Karen was obviously unable to stand Jon's excessive concern for her.

Although she knew the other party had good intentions, Kallen did not like the feeling of being heavily protected.

Karin felt that she was not different from others. She was just an ordinary person. If Perfect had not taught her all kinds of knowledge about workers' YD, she would not have achieved her current achievements.

So even if there is someone who deserves respect, it is Perfect, who taught her the program and knowledge of the workers' YD and quietly promoted it all behind the scenes, rather than her who simply implemented Perfect's ideas.

But it was obvious that Karen could not explain to others the relationship between Perfectcot and the Workers' Union, let alone tell others that all the programs that the Workers' Union regarded as the guiding principles were taught by Perfectcot.

Although no one would believe her even if she told it, once the secret was leaked, the impact on Perfect would be enormous, and might even affect her overall plan and endanger her safety and life.

So Karen knew that she could not tell this matter to anyone no matter what. This was a secret that had to be kept to herself.

Unless one day their business is truly successful and Perfect can openly tell everyone about her relationship with the Workers' Union, Karen will be able to tell this secret.

So for now, Karin could only endure it all silently and try to tell others not to give her any special treatment.

Because nominally they were just workers who came to the North with the goods, so even though Kallen could no longer contain her desire to see Perfect, she still had to unload all the cargo on the train with the others before she could leave the train station with the other workers.

Standing on the snowy street, Karin blew on her hands, trying to relieve the cold and red hands.

There is no labor protection in this era. Even in this cold winter, workers do not have any warm gloves or the like when they work. It is very rare to have a pair of ordinary gloves to avoid scratching the palms when carrying goods.

Even though everyone else tried hard to help Karin share her part of the work, she still moved a lot of goods because she didn't want to be treated specially, which made her hands as cold and red as everyone else's.

"Kafka, we have already agreed with the foreman that another batch of goods will arrive from Pignesburg in three days. We will take that train back then." Jon came to Karen and whispered to her.

They did not come to the North openly, but came under the pretext of rhyming goods. Although they had opened up the relevant links, such things needed to be kept low-key, so they could not stay in the North for too long.

"Three days...is enough. Jon, take your comrades to find a place to settle down. I'm going to meet a friend. We'll meet here at the train station in three days." After saying this, Karen planned to leave alone.

She was going to meet Perfectocte, and it was obviously inconvenient for her to bring anyone else with her.

However, Jon was very worried about this, and hurriedly said to Callen, "It's too dangerous for you to be alone in the North. Let Ed follow you. It will be convenient for you to ask him to run errands if you need anything."

Ed is Jon's nephew and a very hardworking young man. Jon is very optimistic about him and brought him out this time.

Jon let Ed follow Kallen because he wanted to have someone he could trust by Kallen's side. If anything happened, at least there would be someone to help, so that she wouldn't be surrounded alone without anyone to pass on the message.

Ed, whose name was called, also seemed very excited. Karen had a very high reputation in the Workers' Union. Every young worker like him was eager to work by her side. This was a great honor for them.

However, Kallen shook her head and said, "No, the friend I'm going to meet has a very special status. We can't let anyone know that he has a connection with us, otherwise it will be a very bad situation for both him and us."

In order to cover up, Karen deliberately used the male pronoun "he" to prevent anyone from finding any clues from her words.

Hearing what Kallen said, Jon frowned and then asked, "Then I'll go with you? I'm really worried about you going alone. This is the North, the territory of the Scarlet Earl!"

Jon was really worried about Callen being alone. In his opinion, the North was even more dangerous than a den of wolves and tigers. In just the time when they came out of the train station and stood on the street, they saw two teams of police and a team of city guards passing by. There were even two steam knights at the entrance of the train station!
In such a dangerous environment, and Kallen is being wanted, if anything happens, he will regret it beyond his limit.

However, Kallen rejected him directly and said with a smile: "No need, Jon, just take care of the others! I can't guarantee other places, but I won't be in danger in the North. My friends can ensure that."

Hearing this, Jon couldn't help but have some strange associations. He guessed that the "friend" that Karen knew was most likely a very powerful person in the North, otherwise she wouldn't say that her friend could ensure that she would not be in danger.

But Jon didn't know much about the North, so he couldn't guess who Callen's friends were.

So he could only say helplessly: "Okay, then you be careful and stay safe! If anything happens, find a way to pass a message to the train station. I will let Ed stay here for the next two days."

Ed on the side nodded quickly. Although he couldn't be with Karen, he still hoped that he could do something for Karen.

"Although it may not be necessary, but if you think it is necessary." Karen thought about it and still did not reject Jon's kindness.
