Klein's Desperate Lament
Chapter 85 Klein's Desperate Lament
Although the extraordinary world is full of dangers.
However, those who are officially on night duty receive a weekly wage of £4.5.
No matter how dangerous it is, those unemployed workers who can only try their luck at the docks, when faced with layoffs, would surely be willing to face this danger for only 3 to 4 sulphurs a week.
Lost in thought, Xia'er led Selena to Blackthorn Security Company.
He handed the little girl over to Klein.
The two, who had just met last night, looked at each other for a moment.
Klein was horrified when he saw his sister's classmate; he didn't want his unusual profession to be exposed in front of his family.
Selena's eyes widened in disbelief. Melissa's somewhat handsome brother actually knew someone like that.
And judging from the looks of it, they're accomplices?
"You two know each other?"
"That makes things much easier, Klein. Take this young lady to sign a confidentiality agreement."
"If she has any further questions, you'll be in charge of handling or taking responsibility for them."
Xia Er directly pushed the work onto Klein.
He's returning to Backlund tomorrow and doesn't want to trouble himself any further.
"Rosanne, could you please take care of Miss Selena for me?"
Klein barely ignored Selena's horrified look. He asked Rosanne for help, then pulled Xia Er by the shoulder and walked to the other side, asking in a low voice.
"At least tell me clearly, how did you run into Selena?"
"What trouble has she run into this time?"
Klein was somewhat speechless as he spoke. He had just helped this girl out of a problem last night, and she was in trouble again today.
"Her occult teacher was a cryptic, a cryptic of the Aurora Society."
"I killed her teacher and took her to ransack his house."
"I'll have Admisor bring over those unearthed occult books and various materials later."
"In short, for various reasons, in her mind, my image is as terrible as canned wolffish." After Xia'er finished explaining, he pushed Klein back in front of Selena.
"If you need anything in the future, just contact him."
After finishing speaking, Xia Er ignored Klein's bewildered expression and headed towards Dunn's office.
He could handle that small amount of money himself, but the rest of the things related to the occult were to be given to Dunn. Once the things were in Dunn's hands, Shael could return to Backlund in peace, and whatever script Ince Zangwell wrote afterward would be none of Shael's business.
"Selena, I understand what happened."
"Your teacher:"
Klein looked at the little girl staring straight at him and was about to explain, but was interrupted by the girl.
"You mean to say that my teacher was a wanted criminal, and you were government officials who killed him to prevent him from harming me? His arrest warrant doesn't exist yet, so you'll go to the police station later and get me a copy, right?"
Selena looked at Klein, hoping he would give her a reasonable explanation, or refute her by saying that things weren't like that, and that there was actually another reason.
Klein opened his mouth, stammering, "There's a misunderstanding here..."
He cursed Xia Er a hundred times in his heart. How exactly did you explain this to this girl?
"Where is the misunderstanding?"
"He covered my mouth right in front of me, shot and killed my teacher, and then knocked me unconscious."
He threatened me, demanding that I take him to my teacher's house.
Selena said expressionlessly.
She no longer wants to cry; she has cried before, but it was useless.
That bastard didn't comfort her; he just enjoyed seeing her make a fool of herself.
Hey!
Klein swallowed back the words he had intended to say to exonerate Xia Er.
Rosanne, standing nearby, glanced at Klein with pity and quietly moved to the side.
Seeing that Klein remained silent, Selena recalled what Melissa had said about her brother finding a well-paying job... Blackthorn Security Company?
"You didn't... join some kind of gang, did you?"
"The kind of people who specialize in doing dirty work for aristocratic councilors..."
Her voice gradually lowered as she spoke.
For a fleeting moment, Selena suddenly wanted to go find Xia Er. She felt that being by Xia Er's side might be a little "safer" than being in this strange security company.
Pfft!
Klein felt as if he had been shot in the heart.
He knew that if he let Selena leave with this misunderstanding, his impression of Melissa would be ruined.
He had no choice but to help Xia Er resolve the trouble he had caused.
"Selena, Maynard's attitude may have caused you to misunderstand something."
"But we're not the gang you're thinking of; we have proper documentation."
As he spoke, Klein produced the identification document for a public official of the Ahowa County Police Department that Dunn had given him.
"I understand. What about that confidentiality agreement?"
"I'll sign it now."
Selena glanced at the documents and became even more confused, seeing the slight comfort she had received from an acquaintance vanish.
She said it very cooperatively.
You really did misunderstand, didn't you?
Klein looked to Rosanne for help.
"Klein, I'll go get the documents for you."
Rosanne coughed lightly, using this as an excuse to run away quickly.
When Xia Er came out of Dunn's office, she saw Klein looking utterly hopeless and Selena staring blankly ahead, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
He also saw Leonard, who had come to watch the show, and Leonard secretly gave him a thumbs up.
It feels so sneaky...
Anyone who didn't know better would think the poet classmate ate at Selena's place.
"Have you finished dealing with it?"
"Then I'll be going now."
Xia Er greeted everyone and prepared to leave.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
Selena jogged over and stood in front of Chael, whispering something.
"You won't let Klein drive you?"
"Don't you know each other?"
Shael glanced at Klein, whose eyes were now filled with murderous intent.
"I want to follow you."
Selena lowered her head, still wearing black gloves, and her superior wisdom provided the answer.
Xia Er ruffled the little girl's hair, looking at Klein, Leonard, and Frye and Rosanne, whose invisibility suits didn't exist, with a strange expression.
Are you so many people still unable to explain things to a little girl?
We can't reveal information about the supernatural world on our own initiative, so how am I supposed to explain this?
Klein took a deep breath, realizing this wouldn't do, and stood up, saying:
"Let me help you take Selena home."
Upon hearing this, Selena shrank back behind Chael and nervously grabbed his sleeve.
Klein's heart shattered once more.
Just last night, you praised me as a handsome gentleman.
Should I apologize?
Xia Er blinked. Shouldn't the night watchmen have experience in dealing with all sorts of troubles at the grassroots level?
"You should go back to Backlund quickly."
I'm begging you!
Klein looked at Admisor, who was carrying a large sack and looked as if he had just finished a home invasion robbery.
He let out a desperate cry.
Will their Blackthorn Security Company be considered a den for selling stolen goods?
No, I don't want that kind of thing!!!
