Chapter 2569: Whistling Down (Twenty-Seven)

Chapter 2543: Xiao Xiao Down (Twenty-Seven)

Raven sat on the sofa and began to explain to Schiller what they had done today in a very excited manner.

Except for a few minor episodes at the beginning, the rest went smoothly as if assisted by God. It can be said that the professional qualities of Robin and his friends are indeed excellent. Although Batman did not let them be assistants for a few days, their talents are there. Going to school also allowed them to learn more common sense and exercise their thinking, so their brains became more intelligent.

At first, they moved according to the list printed by Killer Croc, and then they soon found that many people were moving around a certain family on the list.

Because just like what Schiller encountered, when the environment of a community changes due to new urban development projects, it is destined that only one resident will choose to move away.

And if the decline of supporting facilities around this community is inevitable, then almost everyone will choose to sell their houses and move to a new home at the same time, which means that if one person moves, it means that many people around him are moving.

Now Killer Croc owns a small moving company, and Robin and his friends also drive small trucks, which cannot compare with the large vans of large moving companies.

When they went to the first company, it was fine, and several small moving companies did not interfere with each other, but when they went to the second company, those large moving companies put their large trucks across the door, ready to grab their orders and move together.

Jason, with his temper, how could he agree, but other small moving companies around had to accept it, because if the truck was across, their cars could not get in, and it was impossible for people to move furniture so far, and the large moving companies dared to be so unscrupulous because they saw this.

Robin and his friends did not indulge their problems, they directly let Raven lift the car with telekinesis, fly over the top of the truck to move into the community, and then fly out with the car and furniture, it was amazing to know magic.

The big moving companies didn't dare to do anything to them. The cost of breaking the law is really high now. It's the time to make money. If they are caught by the police, they will lose a lot. Moreover, they are afraid that they can't beat these strange guys, so they just let them go.

Anyway, they only move one house at a time, and it won't affect the business of the big moving companies much, so there is no need to bother with them.

But the biggest trait that Robin and Bruce learned is to be aggressive. When they saw that the big moving companies didn't care about them, they started to advertise to the residents next door, saying that we only need half the price of the big companies, one tenth of their time and 200% of their safety, so why choose them instead of us?

When some residents heard this, they thought so too. In this era, no one's money comes from the wind. If they can move at a cheaper price, why not? Moreover, this ability to make furniture float can indeed reduce losses, which is a more cost-effective deal no matter how you calculate it.

So some residents cancelled their contracts with the big moving companies and asked Robin to help them move.

In this way, the big moving company was not happy. This was a blatant business grab. They asked the residents who had signed the contract to pay them a penalty for breach of contract, but Dick instructed Raven to seize the opportunity and directly move the residents' furniture with telekinesis, forcibly hang it outside the car, and forcibly move it to the destination.

When the big moving company and the residents who were chasing the furniture arrived at the destination, the furniture had been neatly placed outside the yard of the destination.

At this time, Dick and his friends urged the residents to call the police, saying that someone had taken their furniture and forcibly placed it in their new home. The police came to investigate, and the residents checked the furniture and found no damage before reconciling with the Robins.

Because many of the Robins were minors, the punishment for them was very light. Even if it was robbery, as long as no one was injured, no property was lost, and the other party was forgiven, at most they would be sentenced to community labor, and they did not have to work immediately, but accumulated time.

Under the strong request of the residents, they were not even sentenced to community labor, and were given a verbal warning.

Because the furniture of the residents was taken away by the Robins, theoretically the residents were victims and suffered robbery, so they could not fulfill the contract. The responsibility was not on the residents, so naturally they did not have to pay the penalty for breach of contract to the big moving company.

This made the heads of the big moving companies furious, but they could not do anything about these little ghosts. They had finally turned into a legal business. If someone died, they would not be able to do business again.

After several times in a row, the big moving companies were convinced and had to choose to negotiate with the Robins.

The Robins were waiting for them to give in, because this was not a solution. Their cars were not big enough, and many furniture could only be hung outside the cars. However, if they did this, the ravens would be more tired and could not move more than a few times a day.

If there were a big car, the ravens would only be responsible for moving the furniture up, and the situation would be much better, but they could neither buy nor rent a car, so they could only choose to get free stuff from the big companies.

They signed contracts with large moving companies, which meant they were mercenaries for movers. They would get one-third of the money for each move by following a truck, without having to take orders or drive themselves.

So they spent the whole afternoon frantically following the vehicles of major moving companies to move things. Raven moved things too fast, and he had telekinesis and magic. If he encountered a traffic jam, he could just fly over it without wasting any time.

And because large moving companies have large vehicles and many vehicles, they can take on those large moving projects. Some companies and factories can earn hundreds of dollars for each move, so even if they only take one-third, the income is quite considerable.

It took 8 hours from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., and they received more than 1,000 dollars in commissions alone. Because Raven was the one who contributed the most among them, they decided to give half of the money to Raven, and Raven alone received 500 yuan.

After listening to the whole process, Schiller nodded and said, "I didn't expect you would choose to cooperate with them."

"In fact, they cursed us badly at the beginning, and we were also very angry." Raven curled his lips and said, "But there is no way to go against money. Fortunately, I made money in the end, otherwise I would want to beat them all up."

"Learning to bow your head for money is the first step to growth." Schiller said with some sighs: "At this time, except for the commercial district, most of the shops are closed, but I know there is a night market two streets away. Do you want to go shopping?"

Raven's eyes lit up immediately. Schiller put the envelope away, put on his clothes and took an umbrella and said, "I haven't been there either. I think we can go shopping together."

After getting in the car, Raven fell silent strangely. Schiller asked while driving, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I was thinking, otherwise I should pay the rent first." Raven obviously calmed down. She said, "After all, this house is yours now. I can't live here for free. . "

"No hurry." Schiller said: "I just learned that the school has prepared a bonus for the publication of papers, and I just accumulated some articles to publish, so I should be able to make a lot of money."

"Then aren't you going to have a party? Dick said that it would cost a lot of money to have a party because you have to set up the table, buy food and decorations."

"I was planning to go and see the decorations." Schiller said: "The night market will sell some party lamps, I think you can help me choose some, and they should be fashionable."

"Do you mean popular? But I don't know what is popular." Raven shook his head and said: "I haven't attended any parties."

"Didn't you ask them to invite you?"

"They only have parties at school, and I'm not their classmate, but they showed me photos of their previous parties, maybe I can try."

The car quickly drove to the vicinity of the night market, and Schiller found a place to park the car. When the two of them walked out, they found that the night market was bustling at this time.

This is a comprehensive night market that integrates small commodities, snack stalls and second-hand goods market. It is also an older night market. In the early days of Gotham's development, it was a second-hand goods trading market in the nearby community. Later, some people set up stalls to sell food here, attracting more young customers and manual laborers, making it more prosperous. Finally, a street was specially designated for a fixed night market.

The night market is a whole long street. In addition to the street lights above, there are a series of small light bulbs hanging in the middle of each row of street lights, which illuminates the place brightly and has a strong market atmosphere.

"Have you had dinner?" Schiller asked.

"We wanted to have a big meal to celebrate, but something happened to one of Jason's friends, so they rushed over and made an appointment for tomorrow."

So Schiller began to look for snack stalls. The snack stalls here are similar, either Mexican hot dogs, American hamburgers, or Indian food and sushi. Gotham's local dishes are basically some spicy seafood.

After searching for a long time, Schiller finally found a Chinese wonton stall in a corner in the middle of the night market. It looked light and suitable for a midnight snack.

As soon as they sat down near the stall, Schiller saw a familiar figure. He immediately grabbed the raven who was looking at the menu and said, "Suppress your power and don't make any noise later."

"Oh, Professor Schiller, why are you here?" Sivana looked surprised, as if he had never expected this encounter, but Schiller knew that he must have come prepared.

Schiller looked around and saw a lot of familiar faces. The community where he lived was too close to here, and many neighbors would choose to eat midnight snacks here.

Sivana must have known this, so he came to this crowded place to try his luck and see if he could find the person he wanted to find.

Raven looked up at him and immediately knew why Schiller asked her to be alert. This person's right eye was very wrong, emitting an extremely ominous power.

Schiller was not nervous. He stood beside the stall and chatted with Shivana, talking about Shivana's experience in Hong Kong and commenting on Chinese snacks. He soon led the topic to the housewarming party.

Schiller briefly mentioned that he was here to buy lamps, and Shivana immediately showed Schiller the way enthusiastically, saying that he saw a lot of party supplies in the second-hand market over there.

Of course, Sivana noticed Raven, but because Raven was dressed so ordinary, she wore a jacket, ordinary washed jeans and sneakers, with red hair, and looked a little tired, no different from the kids he saw in middle school, so he thought she was Schiller's relative.

"Your daughter, Professor?"

"No, a distant niece of mine. Her mother died and her father has a bad temper, so she came here to seek refuge with me. I'm looking for a school for her."

"Really? It happens that I plan to have dinner with the principal of Carmela Middle School tomorrow, maybe I can..."

"In fact, I already have a choice. She plays with the child of one of my students, and she wants to go to the same school with them..."

Raven had already picked up her phone and started to check the photos of the previous party. She acted like a very ordinary middle school girl, which dispelled Sivana's suspicion of her, and Sivana left quickly.

"He came to see me." Raven held Schiller and said, "His eyes are very evil. He must not get my power."

"Don't worry." Schiller said, "Let's eat first."

Let's order the dishes first
