160 Böklund Street, in the restaurant on the second floor.
Klein had just taken a bite of the toast that the servant had buttered when he saw the butler walk in.
Walter bowed and said:
"Sir, someone of unknown origin rang our doorbell last night.
“Because it was already late, I didn’t wake you up, but asked the servants to take double-barreled shotguns and take turns to guard you all night.
“With your permission, I will visit the nearby police station today and ask them to increase night patrols in this neighborhood.”
Hiring a butler like this has no other disadvantages except being expensive... Klein nodded slightly, drank a sip of the fresh milk that had just been delivered, and said:
"very good."

39 Böklund Street, home of Councillor Macht.
Hazel entered the living room on the second floor and saw her mother Liana chatting with the housekeeper.
"What happened?" She tucked a strand of dark green hair behind her ear.
Liana laughed and said:
"Someone rang Dantes' doorbell at midnight yesterday."
"Prank?" Hazel found a seat and sat down.
"No one knows. Anyway, Dantes's butler went to the police station this morning." Liana said what she heard from the servants.
Hazel nodded slightly and said:
"Involving the police is the best approach."
"But this is totally useless, because we don't know who rang the doorbell. It is said that there was no one at the scene." Liana shook her head and laughed.
Hazel was stunned for a moment, then blurted out:
"No one is there to help?"
"Yes, it seems that Dantes's butler just asked the police station to strengthen the night patrols in our neighborhood. This is a good thing." As the wife of a member of the House of Commons and the daughter of a barrister, Liana has a good relationship with the police department.
"None of them are useful..." Hazel repeated in a low voice and fell silent.
After a while, she left the living room and returned to the third floor.
On the way, she couldn't help but clench her fists and waved them forward a few times, as if testing something, with obvious confusion between her brows.
…………
In the master bedroom, Klein looked at the large amount of gold coins piled in front of him, his eyes full of sparkling colors.
This is a total of gold coins equivalent to 4,000 pounds!
After a week of fundraising, "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya finally completed the transaction of the "Lucky Balance". In addition to these gold coins, she also paid 6,500 pounds in cash.
Frankly speaking, such a large pile of gold coins is indeed more visually impactful than the same volume of banknotes... Klein sighed as he took out 13 Loen gold coins from Admiral Blood, Senior, from his pocket and threw them into the group of similar coins.
After doing all this, he took out the adventurer's harmonica, put it to his mouth and blew it.
Silently, Renette Tinicole appeared in front of her, carrying four blond, red-eyed heads.
"Ma'am, this is the first payment, worth a total of 4,013 pounds." Klein withdrew his gaze from the pile of gold coins and looked at the messenger.
I have to say, he was a little curious about how the messenger was going to carry such a large pile of gold coins. He remembered that she always used her teeth to bite the letters when receiving them.
“Very good…” “There are still…” “Five thousand…” “Nine hundred…” “Eighty…” “Seven…” Renette Tinicole’s heads said one after another.
Don’t remind me… Klein forced a smile and said:
“I will raise the money as soon as possible.”
Renette Tinicole said nothing more, and one of the heads tried hard to open its mouth.
Suddenly, the area in front of her became dark and deep, and all the gold coins were like flowing water, attracted by the whirlpool and rushed over.
After just a few seconds, the pile of gold coins disappeared.
Renette Tinicole nodded her four heads at the same time and then returned to the spirit world.
I still have 8,156 pounds in cash and 5 Loen gold coins... I can barely be considered a rich man... If there is any investment opportunity, I can actually pay for it instead of raising the price and just talking about it... In this way, I won't be suspected of being a liar in the short term... Haha, be optimistic. Maybe future investment opportunities will allow me to make back the previous expenses. Money always makes money quickly... Klein exhaled silently and looked out the window, forcing himself to appreciate the street view shrouded in mist.
…………
When night falls, the East District is dark because there are few gas street lamps and most of them are destroyed, as if countless monsters and crimes are hidden there.
Hugh Dilcha, wearing a hooded cloak, turned into a small alley and came to a house that looked dilapidated.
This was the new gathering in the East End that she had mentioned to Fors before!
Quinn didn't rush to knock on the door as agreed upon, but first lowered his head to examine his clothes and appearance.
What was different from usual was that she was wearing a pair of long boots today.
The boots looked normal, but Xio knew very well that the soles were very thick and there were many paddings inside, which could make a person look much taller "out of thin air".
And this can effectively conceal Hugh's biggest feature!
After touching the hidden three-edged spike, Xio pulled up his hood and knocked on the door rhythmically.
Soon, she was led into the living room and sat down at a random place.
When most of the participants had arrived, the organizer of the party finally came in.
He was of medium height, about 1.75 meters, wearing a black classical robe, a pointed country wizard hat, and a brass mask on his face, giving him a simple and mysterious temperament.
His skin color was dark, but not brown, like someone from the Feynaportdisi Bay area... but he couldn't be sure, maybe it was from the sun... His hair was black and slightly curly, which was consistent with the first judgment... Xio sized him up with the attitude of a "sheriff".
The man wearing the brass mask looked around, laughed twice and said:
"You can call me Mr. X."
Mr. X...Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
——After becoming a peripheral staff member of MI9, she learned about many secret organizations, including the Aurora Society.
Therefore, she knew very well that the messengers of the Aurora Society used letters as code names and liked to call themselves Mr. or Ms.
In her opinion, calling herself that in front of outsiders was like actively exposing her identity and origins. After all, it was impossible that all the members attending the party were extraordinary people with little experience and fragmentary knowledge!
Isn't he afraid of being reported? No wonder that gentleman from MI9 said that the Aurora Society is full of lunatics, and their behavior cannot be understood by normal people's logic... Since Mr. A disappeared, there have been several cases in Backlund where people impersonated his name or his companions to hold gatherings for profit. The principals were quickly reported and arrested... Well, this Mr. X may not be a member of the Aurora Society. Maybe he is of the same kind as the previous ones... Xio withdrew his gaze and quietly watched the gathering.
She rarely reported similar things because she had experienced the hardship of survival as a wild Beyonder and understood that it was not easy for everyone. Therefore, as long as nothing unexpected happened, she would not provide relevant information to MI9.
If it is confirmed that they are the messengers of the Aurora Society, then we must report them. They are all crazy and will bring great harm... Xio thought while watching others exchange information or complete transactions.
She didn't participate deeply, firstly because there were no items or intelligence of particular interest, and secondly because she was saving money for the "Interrogator" potion.
…………
After the party, when they returned to their home in Cherwood, Xio saw Fors, who had put on a facial mask that was said to be moisturizing, lying there and reading leisurely.
"How was it? How was the party?" Fors asked casually.
Xio threw his cloak aside and said:
"There are quite a few people at the gathering, and many items have appeared, but they are mostly low-sequence items."
“It’s the first time for anyone to get together, so no one will bring out good stuff straight away.” Fors put down the little book in her hand and said.
"Yeah." Xio nodded and said, "The organizer of the party calls himself Mr. X, but no one knows whether he is related to Mr. A."
Mr. X... suspected to be the Aurora Society's messenger... could it be Louis Wayne? Fors perked up and leaned back lazily, saying:
"What does he look like?"
"He's wearing a mask!" Xio rolled her eyes at Fors, "Do you think my vision can penetrate obstacles?"
"No, no, no, I mean his overall appearance." Fors had seen a full-length portrait of Louis Wayne from her teacher Dorian Gray and knew his appearance characteristics.
As a "sheriff", Hugh effortlessly restored the image of Mr. X and said puzzledly:
"Whether or not he has any connection with Mr. A, choosing a name like this is likely to be reported. Isn't he worried?"
After listening to Xio's description and looking at the portrait she created with the help of her "Sheriff" ability, Fors was secretly delighted. She felt that Mr. X was most likely the traitor of the Abraham family, Louis Wayne!
He wasn't worried about being reported because he was a "traveler" and could escape easily if anything unexpected happened? If the official organization followed their experience in dealing with Mr. A, they really couldn't keep him... Fors muttered silently, and didn't talk about this topic anymore, instead asking about other things.
When Xio went to take a shower, she used her "astrologer" ability to inquire about her own spirituality, overlapping the image of Louis Wayne with the image of Mr. X, and obtained the answer that they were the same person!
"It really is!" Fors stood up and paced back and forth in the living room excitedly and happily.
Her first thought was to report it to the various churches, and to mention that the target had the ability of "Traveler". Then she remembered that she had tried to hire Mr. "World" to assassinate Louis Wayne.
“No matter what, let’s first ask Mr. World if he is free and whether he wants to take this mission. We can’t offend him.” Thinking of what Mr. World had done, Fors shuddered inexplicably.
After making the decision, she first confirmed that Xio was still in the bath and would not come out in the short term, and then began to pray to Mr. Fool:
"...Please tell Mr. World that Louis Wayne, the Aurora Society's divine envoy, has appeared. He is most likely the Traveler, codenamed Mr. X."
