Director Rhaenys is very powerful. Her ability is shadow, and she uses shadow to control everything.

She should know that I signed a master-servant blood contract with the demon Rebecca, so she would take the initiative to give the demon to me.

This operation was very dangerous, and I almost died in B03 twice. Thanks to the life-saving method of mirror jumping, I was able to persist until Rhaenys came to save me.

In the final analysis, it is because I am too weak and I must become stronger as soon as possible.

Rebecca has increased her own strength, and also won the favor of Duke Hagen and 10 gold coins of her own money. This is an unexpected gain.

Just as Locke was thinking about the demon Rebecca, the restless Rebecca also ran out of the pipe.

A white smoke formed a lively little lolita.

She looked at Locke's humble rental house with disdain,

"Damn it, you're not going to live here, are you? I'm going to break the contract with you. I don't want to follow the poor guy."

"Rebecca, please watch your words, I am your master now."

Locke said.

Rebecca immediately transformed into a huge demon and rushed towards Locke with bared teeth and claws.

"Who are you threatening? Let me show you how powerful the big devil is!"

Snapped--

The next second, Rebecca, who rushed forward to scare Locke, was slapped by the black cat Irene and flew to the wall, dispersing into a line of white smoke.

The white mist condensed into a demon form again. This time she did not attack Locke, but directly attacked Irene.

Erin slapped her backhand again, and Rebecca was knocked to the wall again.

"How is it possible? How can a cat like you touch this demon and have such great strength!?"

The demon Rebecca didn't smell the scent of a witch on Irene. In her opinion, it was just a weird black cat.

She became more frustrated and braver, and pounced on Irene again.

Erin stretched out her furry cat paws and directly grabbed the devil's tail. Like a windmill, she spun Rebecca until she was dizzy. Finally, she opened the window and threw her out.

"I don't like the devil's unpleasant smell."

Erin said calmly.

"Ah - I will come back!"

Rebecca's miserable voice came from the window, and soon turned into a shooting star in the sky, flying to who knows where.

But Locke was not worried that she would go far away, because the boarding pipe was still in his hands.

Just worried that she would eat other people's souls outside, Locke still gave her an instruction, "Rebecca, you are not allowed to eat anyone's soul without my order."

"Is this useful? Remote calling."

Locke looked at Eileen who was standing elegantly on the windowsill.

Aileen nodded slightly, "If it's a slave contract, she must abide by it even if she can't hear it."

"Well, she is my new slave, the demon Rebecca."

Locke introduced.

Eileen jumped onto the sofa with a bounce, "A servant's servant is equal to an inferior servant. Let her learn more etiquette in the future and don't mess up her dignity."

"Forehead…"

Locke sweated on his forehead and began to worry about the way Irene and Rebecca got along.

At the same time, he also complained in his mind that the demon Rebecca was too weak, and even Irene in her weak period could not defeat her.

The next day, the bell of the Cathedral of Life rang on time.

A new day ushered in Kosolk. There were still snowflakes in the morning. Half a meter of snow piled up on the streets in the West District. The road conditions did not improve until the East District. The snow became a thin layer and There are also sanitation workers who are constantly cleaning and are very dedicated to their duties.

People in the West District are mostly discussing the issue of rising grain prices. After the Compass Drinking Water Company incident was resolved, the grain prices at Baker Grain Company not only quickly returned to their original prices, but also recently started to rise, with prices doubling.

Many people are already criticizing Old Baker, believing that the grain tycoon has violated his original intention and has become a real blood-sucking capitalist, because Old Baker once said that the price of domestic grain will not exceed 8 meters per kilogram, but now it has reached crude prices. The price of 10 meters per pound of flour.

In fact, since the West End water pollution incident, the power of grain pricing is no longer in the hands of the old Baker, and Baker Grain Company has become Baker Grain Co., Ltd.

Rising food prices is an inevitable trend, and they must at least be the same as those in other countries in the Southern Continent.

"Fortunately, I bought a lot of grain from Baker Grain Company and stored it at home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it now."

"Why don't you do more activities for a while? I didn't get much food at all."

"These hateful capitalists don't care about the lives of our people at the bottom."

"Haha, when I asked you to buy it before, you didn't buy it because you said the price of food would drop. What about now? The price of food has risen so high. Can't you afford it?"

Compared to the West District, people in the East District are talking about the resignation of congressmen and the resignation of news tycoons.

"Have you heard? Congressman Bowman Bister and Tumen Times editor-in-chief Bill Harper are under investigation."

"Why? How come the news tycoon and the congressman are related?"

"These two people have been in cahoots with each other for a long time. Together they forced worker Yoang Tahan and his family to death, and also blamed Desi Reina. They joined forces to manipulate public opinion and deceive the people, resulting in Desi Reina's defeat and Bowman's defeat. Bicester is now under investigation, while news tycoon Bill Harbor has now been ousted and the editor-in-chief of Tumen Times has been replaced by Anna Lalo.”

"Who is Anna Lalo?"

"It is said that he is the deputy editor of Tumen Times. After sitting on the bench for many years, he finally made his mark."

Hannah looked at the newspaper with a smug expression,

"My guess was right, wasn't it? Bill Harper and Bowman Bister have been in the same boat for a long time."

"Great."

Locke gave a thumbs up.

The medium-sized carriage driven by two red date horses slowly drove into the Peggs District near the Wells District. Locke and Hannah sat in the carriage and looked through the latest Tumen Times.

Chapter 99, My Devil Maid

The carriage stopped at No. 11, Peggs District.

Next to a three-story villa.

"Hannah, we're here."

Locke got off the carriage first, stretched out his hand, and helped Hannah get off the car.

The black cat jumped onto Locke's head by himself.

"Locke, are you kidding me?"

Hannah looked at the villa and the surrounding environment in surprise. Rows of villas with very similar architectural styles formed a beautiful landscape, especially the houses were covered with snow, making it look like a fairy tale town, full of winter atmosphere.

There is a large lawn in front of almost every house, with a thick layer of snow on it, and some yards have snowmen at the door.

Hannah couldn't believe that she would move directly from Old Tom's apartment to such a wealthy area.

"I won't joke with a lady easily. How about the rent of 2 silver mick? Do you still think it's expensive?"

Locke asked with a smile.

"It's not expensive. We only rented two bedrooms, or one bedroom? Or the attic."

Hannah asked simply, with curiosity in her eyes.

She actually didn't like to share a house with others, but with such a good environment and supporting facilities, surrounded by rows of neatly trimmed fir trees, it takes 15 minutes to walk to the prosperous Wells District, and it only costs 2 mick fare to reach Bonnie's house in the central area.

Such an environment and geographical location are completely worthy of the rent. Hannah decided to compromise, even if she shared a house with others, she could accept it.

"No, this is all ours."

Locke grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Locke, are you sure?"

Hannah looked at Locke in disbelief. This feeling was as unrealistic as if the news she wrote suddenly won the Tumen Kingdom's news award.

Hannah pinched her face to make sure she was not dreaming.

"Is it here? If it is, we will unload the goods."

The coachman and the temporary movers said.

In fact, Locke and Hannah did not have much luggage, but they bought a lot of food to stock up during the last clearance of Baker Grain Company, which resulted in a lot of physical work when moving.

These movers are all old faces in the Pete District. Each person only needs 5 grams per hour, which is quite cost-effective.

Red-nosed Aram and the short Slavin, plus the voluntary coachman, a total of 3 people.

Hannah thought Locke had found too many people before, but when it came to moving, she knew that these people were completely useful.

"It's here, everyone move your things in, thank you for your hard work."

Locke said.

Aram and Slavin carried the bags of flour and rice off the carriage with quick movements.

The tires of the carriage were instantly freed, and the carriage moved up two centimeters.

Locke took Hannah to open the door and walked into the living room.

The sunlight shone through the stained glass windows into the spacious living room, making the living room colorful, just like Hannah's colorful mood.

Hannah felt that she fell in love with this place in an instant, even though she felt bad for paying a monthly rent of 2 silver mik.

The floor was covered with a fluffy brown carpet, and the living room was connected to the dining room. There was a traditional fireplace on the wall in front, an exquisite crystal chandelier above the head, and oil paintings on the left and right walls. It didn't look like the work of a famous artist, but it matched the decoration of the living room and added an artistic atmosphere.

Dust was dancing in the sun on the log-colored coffee table and the brown-red sofa, like a group of lively and active elves, welcoming the new owner of this room.

The red dining table was covered with a white floral tablecloth, and there were 10 high-backed chairs on both sides.

Such a restaurant is enough for 10 people to dine together, which is a little too big for Locke and Hannah.

The semi-open kitchen also has ready-made kitchenware and tableware, including a large oven.

Locke had only seen this metal lump in the back kitchen of the Sixth Weird Investigation Bureau.

Hannah stood there blankly. In fact, as a reporter, she had seen many mansions and interviewed some local wealthy people.

But she never thought that one day she would live in such a house.

In addition to Hannah, the coachman and two movers from the West District also stood there.

It was the first time they saw such a luxurious residence.

According to their idea, the residents of Old Tom's Apartment wanted to move, and at most they would move out of the Pete District. It would be very promising to live in the Trey Bridge area. As a result, the carriage passed through the Trey Bridge all the way, and also passed through the prosperous Wells District, and came to the Peggs District, which was basically full of rich people's residences.

Of course, the rich here can only be regarded as the middle class of the kingdom, but for the lower-class people, they are also looked up to.

The bourgeoisie of the Tumen Kingdom only accounted for 5%, but they controlled 60% of the country's wealth. The royal family and the nobles only accounted for 1%, and they controlled 30% of the wealth. The remaining middle class accounted for 14%, and they controlled 9% of the country's wealth. The civilians, who accounted for 60%, controlled 1% of the country's wealth. 20% of the poor had no assets and might even have debts.

The gap between the rich and the poor was huge. It was a chasm for every class to cross, but it was very easy to fall.

For example, the transformation of civilians and the poor only required the introduction of a new decree, or a snowstorm, a company layoff, or a price increase.

The nobles often spent extravagantly for the sake of decency, and their income was not enough to cover their expenses, and they gradually fell into the middle class, but they still did not admit it. They would use their titles to borrow money from banks and continue to live a squandering life until the bank completely put them on the list of dishonest people and the queen was unwilling to pay for them.

"Hannah, are you satisfied?"

Locke patted Hannah on the shoulder.

Irene frowned, "It needs a thorough cleaning. Maybe we can hire a maid for odd jobs and a maid for laundry."

Locke sweated and chose to automatically ignore Irene's unreasonable request.

Why did you think of hiring servants just after moving?

I haven't become rich yet.

"I am very satisfied, but I feel a little sorry that we took advantage of the landlord."

Hannah said honestly.

The coachman and the two helpers also came to their senses and started moving things.

Locke reminded them to put the food in the kitchen, the books in the study on the second floor, and the clothes in the bedroom.

He and Hannah were not idle either. He was responsible for helping the workers move together, and Hannah was responsible for counting and checking.

When everything was moved, Locke paid the coachman and movers and sent them out.
