Chapter 170 He Gives Too Much (Please Subscribe~)

Hillston area.

Xifa, who was wearing a worker's uniform, walked out from the exit of the Backlund subway, and found that he was a bit out of place with the crowd coming and going here.

This is Backlund's economic, commercial and financial center, with various stock exchanges, clearinghouses, futures centers, seven major bank headquarters, and various trading companies.

Therefore, the men in this area are almost all dressed in formal suits and top hats, looking elegant.

The blond girl walked in front and said with a headache on her face, "If I knew you were coming to Hillston, I should have found you a formal suit."

"Forget it, let's hurry to Yilin Avenue."

Although Xifa has read related reports about Backlund from various newspapers and magazines, this is the first time he has come to Backlund.

Come to this bustling city with a population of over five million!

Looking around, there was light yellow mist everywhere, with extremely poor visibility, and it looked more gloomy and dim than the night in Tingen.

But here is much more lively than Tingen. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, but there were still people coming and going.

There are cement-paved avenues, street lawns and gardens with towering chimneys, and various shops and office buildings, which made Xifa dazzled.

It was not easy to come to Doubletree Street, which is one of the few residential areas in Hillston District. At first glance, it is full of townhouses with a unified plan.

The girl in front muttered, "The cheapest rent here is 1 pound per week, which is much more expensive than what we rent. However, it is also much more lively. The guy who can live here should be quite rich."

Xifa caught up with the muttering girl in front: "I still don't know your name?"

The blond girl kept walking and said, "You pay the money, and I'll show you the way. After tonight, we won't know anyone, let alone names."

"If you insist on inquiring, I got you 10 pounds as a reward, so just call me Miss 10 pounds."

He looked young, but he was extremely cautious and did not leave his name casually.

Xifa smiled and said: "You are willing to lead a stranger Su Mo met. This kindness and enthusiasm are priceless in my opinion."

The blond girl glanced at him: "Slick tongue, if I didn't know that you are a hunter, I would have thought you were a nobleman. Only they would compliment a woman with this tone."

Even though he said so, an imperceptible joy flashed in the girl's eyes.

"The 12th is ahead, I'm going back."

She stopped suddenly, said something briefly, turned around and left without giving Sifa a chance to talk.

Xifa could only shrug his shoulders, looked at the numbers on the houses, and found room 12.

He stepped forward, came to the door, and rang the rattle.

After a while, the door opened, and a warm light came on from inside. A man in a white shirt and black vest stood in front of the door, looking at the worker in front of him suspiciously: "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Xifa raised his head and smiled brightly: "Good evening, Cromwell."

On a certain street in the East District, a blonde girl walked into a house. As soon as she entered the living room, she heard the sound of the door opening. Then, a lazy figure came out.

Under the light, there is a woman with slightly curly brown hair. Her light blue eyes lazily glanced at the blonde girl who shared the rent: "Did you see my coffee beans and cigarettes? Without them, my inspiration would be lost." Exhausted."

"I don't think you are in the mood to rush the draft right now." The blond girl said as she familiarly rummaged through to find out what her friend wanted.

The lazy brunette woman took out a cigarette from the cigarette box handed by her friend, and gracefully licked it with two fingers: "It's strange, you didn't go out to buy food, why have you been there for so long?"

The blond girl sat down on the sofa: "I bumped into a guy who just came to Backlund, and I showed him the way."

"Yeah?"

Lighting a cigarette, she leaned against the wall and took a puff. The brunette woman said with a smile in her eyes, "When did you become so warm-hearted?"

"I've always been very enthusiastic!" The blond girl grabbed her curly hair, "Besides, they paid for it. Although it's a bit far away, I have to go to Hillston District."

"Going to the Hillston area? People who go there usually don't lack money. How much did he give?" The brunette woman exhaled a smoke ring, watching them spread and disappear in the air.

"Ten pounds."

"How many?"

The blond girl looked back at her friend: "10 pounds."

"10 pounds? I'm afraid I'm not a fool. With 10 pounds, I can take him shopping for a whole day. Of course, now is not the time to go out. We have to be careful not to be targeted by that big pirate."

The brunette woman shrugged her shoulders: "But even without Qilingos, I don't want to go out, it's too troublesome."

"Choosing the right clothes, matching hats and shoes can be a headache"

While muttering, she returned to her room: "It's getting late, good night."

"Good night."

Thursday, September 6th.

Jorwood, morning.

Two figures were walking on the street. They were both wearing pure black formal attire, half-top hats, and carrying handcuffs, which fully fit the description of a gentleman.

One of them, although he had a beard, did not look particularly old, and there was an indescribable charm in his deep black eyes.

This made the ladies or young ladies who passed by them couldn't help but look at the man a few more times.

"It seems that the number of likes on the label has increased again." Xifa lowered her head, pretending not to see the eyes of those women, and then looked around happily.

After finding Cromwell on Tuesday night, Xifa finally had a place to stay in Backlund. Otherwise, judging from his lack of identification, even if he could find a hotel, the environment would not be very good.

Yesterday morning, Xifa went to the telegraph company and sent a telegram to Matthew in Tingen and Bison in Enki.

He used different excuses to describe the fact that he was currently in Backlund, and told them that he would return after staying for a week or two at most, so that they didn't have to worry about him.

In the following time, Cromwell acted as a tour guide, taking Xifa around the entire Hillston area.

The destination of today's tour is the Jowood area where they are now.

"I'll take you around Queens tomorrow. It's a place where nobles and top rich businessmen live, with strict supervision and a beautiful environment. Every street and every park is as beautiful as the scenery in a painting."

A smile appeared on Cromwell's face, as if he had stepped out of the shadows of the past, and the arbitrator's gray-green eyes had a light that was rarely seen in normal times.

Sifa laughed, and at this moment, the shouts of newsboys sounded from the street.

"Extra! Extra! Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos was killed in Backlund!"
