Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

But why did Shelia give this photo to Hannah? This obviously doesn't make sense.

You don’t want Hannah to give up when faced with difficulties, do you?

He stretched out his hand to take away the photo, but Hannah dodged it.

Hannah put the photo back in her wallet, smiled and said to Lloyd,

"Lloyd, let's negotiate a deal."

"Are you trying to threaten me?"

The fat on Lloyd's face trembled with anger. He didn't expect that Hannah not only didn't want to be his mistress, but also wanted to threaten him with photos.

"No, I don't mean to threaten you. I won't go to Mrs. Wendell with the photo. I just want to make a deal with you."

Hannah said calmly.

Lloyd raised his eyebrows, sure that this was a threat. If he didn't cooperate, Hannah would send the photo to his wife.

"Hannah, you really disappoint me. After losing your job, did you even abandon your moral bottom line? Do you think a photo can make me compromise and let you return to the journalism industry? Haha, you are so naive."

Lloyd hates being threatened, and he wants to give Hannah some color.

"Do you really think that I became the editor-in-chief of the newspaper because of my Wendel relationship?

My uncle is Bill Harper, he is the editor-in-chief of Tumen Times. It is because of my relationship that your article was not signed.

So what if Wendell and I get divorced? I will still be the editor-in-chief of the Kosolk Evening News, and you will still have nothing and you will never be able to do journalism again. "

Hannah was slightly stunned. Locke, who was hiding in the room and eavesdropping, did not expect this.

Everyone was confused by Mrs. Wendell's money, because her family was so well-off, so people in the newspaper took it for granted that Lloyd relied on his wife's relationship to get to the position, but they didn't expect that it was because Lloyd himself was related to Mrs. Wendell. The editor-in-chief of Tumen Times has connections.

This is also related to Lloyd's usual low profile. He doesn't like to show off that his uncle is a news tycoon.

Seeing Hannah's eyes gradually darkening, Lloyd smiled again,

"Hannah, be considerate, compromise with me now, kneel down and beg me to accept you, I will take your pity on you and let you be my humble mistress. Being a mistress is better than standing on the street, isn't it? "

"I don't want to be a street girl. I met Carla. She is now a street girl and she has contracted the disease. She is so miserable."

Hannah burst into tears as she seemed to recall the tragic Kara.

The corners of Lloyd's mouth rose again, "Yes, Kara was fired by me because she didn't agree to be my mistress, and ended up like this. Hannah, you are a smart woman, and you don't want to follow in her footsteps. Right?"

"Kara said she would rather be a prostitute than your mistress, and you would never have her."

Hannah said through sobs.

Lloyd frowned, obviously irritated by these words.

"Lie, that bitch, I've already had her, more than once!"

"Did you force her to do it?"

Hannah asked smoothly.

"So what? I have to force you now."

Lloyd showed a ferocious expression and gradually approached Hannah.

Hannah keeps approaching the bedroom door. At the critical moment, Locke will appear and give Lloyd a head-on blow.

"Weina, did you force Weina to death?"

Hannah was acting like an innocent sheep, but Lloyd had a crazy look on his face and pounced on her.

She dodged in time, but her fluffy skirt was caught by Lloyd.

Lloyd said impatiently while tugging on Hannah's skirt,

"Weina, fragile and stupid Weina, she was raped by me once and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building. You won't be as stupid as her, right? I promise you that I will give you a bright future, so you better not struggle. ”

When people are extremely emotionally excited, just like when they are drunk, they are more likely to tell the truth.

"You admitted that you killed Wei Na!"

"So what if I did it? Hannah, you will be mine soon, do you still want to report me?"

Lloyd admitted that he had killed Wei Na and wanted to assault Hannah on the spot. Sheriff George and Locke, who had been hiding in the room, rushed out together.

Locke kicked Lloyd in the butt, knocking him to the cold floor.

Sheriff George put one leg on Lloyd's waist and said with a serious expression to Lloyd, who had his face on the ground,

"Mr. Lloyd, you are suspected of murder and persecution of women. You have been arrested."

Lloyd never expected that there was a sheriff hiding here.

"I want to find a lawyer. You are threatening and forcing me. Everything I just said does not count!"

Lloyd howled.

Sheriff George looked at Hannah, who nervously handed George a photo.

That was a single photo of Shelia.

This photo was indeed found by Locke in the apartment where Shelia lived. To be precise, it was a photo that was removed from her bedside table, just in case of emergency.

George was sure there was nothing threatening about such a photo.

"I just witnessed with my own eyes that you are about to commit violence on a lady. There is no threat at all."

"Asshole! You have colluded! You are a group. I want to sue you and find a lawyer!"

"Sorry, even a lawyer can't prove your innocence because you have violated the laws of the Tumen Kingdom."

Sheriff George arrested Lloyd, and Lloyd saw George's face clearly.

"It's you, Valeria's husband."

"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Lloyd, I didn't expect your character to be so bad. It makes me worry about my wife's safety."

Lloyd didn't mention the fact that he had also harassed Valeria, and he couldn't afford to anger the Sheriff now, because it would mean he would shed a layer of skin if he went in.

"I want a lawyer! I want a lawyer! A lawyer!"

Lloyd roared and was carried out of the apartment by the tall and mighty Sheriff George, attracting many onlookers from the West Side along the way.

After sending George and Lloyd away, Hannah straightened her messy long brown hair, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed a proud smile.

"How's it going, Locke? Do I have a flair for drama?"

Chapter 52, Hunger Marketing

"Yes, the way you burst into tears looks like the performance of movie star Rabis Hess when she encountered a mob."

Locke praised with a smile and pointed at Hannah's intact coat.

"The quality of this dress is quite good and we should thank Mrs. Armor."

"Yes, Mrs. Armor's craftsmanship is better than that of ordinary clothing stores and tailors, so we should return the orange coat and buy some cloth. How about asking Mrs. Armor to customize the coat?"

Hannah took Locke's arm, her eyes shining with wisdom and frugality.

Locke shook his head, "No, the beautiful lady needs to enrich her wardrobe, keep the coat, and buy some cloth to send to Mrs. Armor's house, take care of her business, and sew a beautiful winter long gown for our lady. skirt."

"Huh? Why? Do you want to make a new dress?"

"To celebrate your upcoming return to journalism."

"This kind of thing cannot be determined yet."

Hannah is a little unsure of whether her reputation can be restored after Lloyd is sent to prison.

But she was still in a good mood, at least she had avenged Wei Na.

At Locke's suggestion, the siblings took a black cat to the Trey Bridge area for shopping.

A group of people passed by them, mixed with their excited chatter.

"All flour mills and bakeries owned by Baker Grain Company have reduced prices, so take the opportunity to stock up on more grain."

"It's great. You can't buy food anywhere at this price. I can even prepare for the Festival of Life this year."

"Yes, I also plan to invite friends to my home on Life Day, but the premise is that I have to grab them quickly."

They headed towards the Baker's Bakery and Grain Factory. The Baker family's bakery also had many branches in the West End. At this time, there was a long queue at the door.

Hannah also joined in. Frugality and housekeeping were her virtues.

She completely forgot that she was going out to buy fabrics, and just wanted to grab low-priced wheat flour, rye flour and bread.

Locke could only accompany his sister Hannah in line.

There is also a storage tank and big-character poster placed at the entrance of the food store.

The big-character poster read: Every consumer is contributing to the health of the victims in the West District. We will donate all the money you spend to the victims in the West District to compensate for their losses. Baker Food Company will not treat every consumer poorly. Residents of the Gate Kingdom.

The large round transparent storage tank is already filled with colorful rice.

Finally, Hannah and Locke arrived in line, and they walked into the store and began to select food.

Locke was surprised to find that there was rice here, but the shape of these rice grains was more oval, a bit like glutinous rice, and the price was very expensive. Even with a 50% discount, it cost 30 meters per pound, while wheat flour only cost 3 meters per pound. Jin, the price difference is 10 times.

Even so, Locke forced Hannah to buy 100 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of wheat flour, and 100 kilograms of rye flour.

As for bread, because it is not easy to store, I only bought twenty or thirty pieces.

Hannah feels that she doesn’t need to worry about food anymore this winter. To be precise, she won’t need to buy food within a year.

Locke and Hannah have just bought grain and the storage tanks are already full.

The salesperson said apologetically to the customer behind him,

"Sorry, the storage tank is full. We have to wait until tomorrow. We will restock tomorrow. If you don't want to wait, you can also check out other Baker's Grain stores."

Locke opened his mouth. As expected of the leader of the Baker family, he not only immediately adopted his suggestion, but also started hunger marketing.

As a result, I believe that every morning, the entrance to Baker’s Grain Store will be overcrowded.

It is estimated that other grain companies, bakeries, food chain stores, and even department stores will be seriously affected. They originally only accounted for one-third of the market share. According to this development trend, it may expand to two-thirds or more. .

The Baker family successfully resolved this risk, but of course it was impossible to do so without paying any price.

Because they purchased a lot of grain, Hannah and Locke had no choice but to take a carriage home.

"Locke, it seems we have done a good thing. I have to go back and tell the people on Pat Street so that they can also stock up on enough food for the winter. We can also buy some charcoal at home. It will not be cold this winter."

Hannah smiled and said that this was a very pleasant shopping for her, even if all she bought was food.

Locke nodded slightly, "We really need to buy some more charcoal."

"Maybe you can buy some dried fish for Xiao Ai."

Hannah said generously.

Eileen glanced at her disdainfully, raised her head,

"I hate dried fish, I want to eat beef, the kind of beef you stewed last time."

"Okay."

Locke was in a good mood. He got off the car and bought a bottle of red wine and beef. He planned to make Burgundy beef stew again. Oh, no, it should be Koselke beef stew.

Because the name of this bottle of red wine is Koselke.

The carriage stopped at Old Tom's apartment. Under Hannah's negotiation, Locke paid an extra 2m tip. The coachman helped the siblings move the purchased food to the third floor.

It happened that Lisa, who was going out, was wearing a braided pigtail and holding clean clothes in her hands.

Lisa saw Locke, and a faint blush appeared on her little face. She mustered up the courage to say, "Lo... Brother Locke, Sister Hannah, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Miss Lisa."

Locke responded politely.

"Good afternoon, little Lisa, are you going out?"

Hannah asked with a smile.

Lisa nodded, "I'll go and deliver the clothes."

"How is Liqi?"

Locke asked.
