Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds
Chapter 57: Buy life
"Harvey Adrian, who would have thought that this down-and-out and vulgar noble child would be the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo", it's amazing~" There was a deep banter in the dim room, the one with handsome face Kathy, the second son of the Elroy family, threw the documents in his hand on the desktop. The documents contained all the records of Harvey's actions some time ago, and the date ended on the day Harvey repaid the debt.
"Why does a mediocre person change so much in such a short time? Do you have any clues, Mr. Cotton Lester."
Lester, who was sitting on the sofa in the room, replied plainly with a cane: "I'm just an ordinary thug, and I don't know anything about the changes in Mr. Adrian."
"Then, are you sure that this report about Diana's actions on the night of the school banquet is correct?"
"Yes, sir."
Kathy tapped his finger on the glass tabletop unconsciously, thinking for a while and asking in a deep voice: "How much is Harvey Adrian's life worth?"
"Are you kidding? Mr. Kathy Elroy." Lester frowned seriously.
"No."
"You don't look like someone who would act so recklessly."
"No matter how smart people are, they will become stupid because of impulse. Harvey Adrian's death is not only because of Diana. His novels are also well written. I have never been a person of high moral character, what I want. There is nothing I can't get. Now I am Fernand and Tangglaer. Isn't the reason not enough?" The handsome Kathy now had a gloomy face, and his fierce expression completely destroyed his perception. , When he spoke of Harvey's name, his eyes were clearly unpleasant.
Lester thought about it and would tactfully refuse: "We never attack people with social status. That would be too risky. The death of a young and talented novelist, you also know how much trouble it will cause."
Kathy turned to look at Lester and said lightly: "What are you talking about, Mr. Lester. This must have nothing to do with you. Mr. Harvey Adrian just fell into the river and drowned because he accidentally stumbled. This is An unfortunate accident."
Lester was silent, and his white-gloved hands held the cane tightly: "You are from the Elroy family. Of course we will not question your ability. Harvey Adrian's life is worthless. , But we need to sign a contract."
"Contract?"
"Yes, when the risk is too great, we have to balance the two, even if we have to give up part of the benefits, this contract will clearly record the transaction between us and be kept in a safe place. As for the contract I can vouch for the safety of the organization in the name of the organization. Perhaps I can disclose some information to make you feel at ease. Your father, the Lord Earl, was once our important guest."
"My father also signed a contract?" Kexi was shocked and speechless. Does his father have any enemies he must get rid of? He thought, and then he remembered a portrait his father would often stop in the living room to watch. In the painting was his father's own brother. If he hadn't disappeared suddenly, his father would not have the right to inherit the title.
"You know, I can't tell you more. We will evaluate the life of Mr. Harvey Adrian, and then because you are a member of the Elroy family, you can lower the price appropriately, and finally sign a contract. The specific price can be reduced by more than half. Mr. Keshi Elroy, I would like to advise you in the end, you should know that this is not the best way to solve the problem."
······
Lester returned to his temporary residence with Harvey's information, thinking that this was the negative effect of the action.
"Mr. Adrian, it's a pity, I have given you advice." He murmured regretfully. When he fulfilled his duties as a debt collector, he still admired Harvey's toughness at that time and thought he was a smart man. In fact, from the perspective of Harvey's ability to write "The Count of Monte Cristo", he is indeed a wise man.
The organization he is in has no name, no rules, but it is almost all over the country. To be correct, he is just a node of the underground organization network. He can do anything in the area of Elroy as long as someone pays.
Most of the nobles and merchants asked him to do some unknown activities.
"Although the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce is a distinguished guest, the repercussions caused by this incident may be beyond control, and no information can be leaked out."
······
