Chapter 117

"Praise Order!" Pike exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Alfred remained indifferent and pointed to the four square-shaped soda bottles in front of him, saying, "The rigorous shape is naturally aesthetically pleasing and makes people feel comfortable just looking at it."

Karen shook his head and laughed, "You guys are really childish. You might as well buy a box of building blocks to play with."

Everyone laughed, and Karen stood up and bid farewell to Pike and Dingkang. "We're leaving."

"We're leaving too. Thank you for your help."

"Thanks for your assistance."

Karen and Alfred returned to the car.

"Young master, it's really a coincidence to run into fellow practitioners," Alfred said.

"Hmm."

Not all funeral societies have backgrounds in the Order of the Gods. In fact, the proportion of the latter is very low. However, due to the growth system of the Order of the Gods, especially at the stage of the judge, there are many places where magic needs to be used to deal with "corpses," and judges can use "corpses" to monitor the "dynamics" of their respective areas. Therefore, there are indeed many places where judges will carry out funeral society business.

There are many funeral societies and crematoriums in Roja City, but only the Inmoleis family has a background in the Order of the Gods.

The population and city size of York City are more than ten times that of Roja City, and there are countless funeral societies in the city. It's really lucky to directly encounter a funeral society with a background in the Order of the Gods in such a large sample.

Alfred turned on the car radio, adjusted it, tapped it with his finger, and then the voices of Dingkang and Pike in the hearse came through the radio.

Dingkang said, "You fool, how can you casually praise the Order in front of outsiders?"

Pike replied, "I couldn't help it. Weren't you excited just now? Besides, what's wrong with praising the Order?"

Dingkang said, "Those two people just now seemed to be familiar with our line of work. They weren't afraid of 'guests' at all. I think they might be in our line of work too."

Pike said, "You're thinking too much. They could be doctors or butchers."

Dingkang said, "Anyway, don't say anything with identity implications in front of strangers next time. If the boss finds out, be careful he breaks your legs."

Pike said, "If the boss makes a mistake, it's not our fault. We, as servants of the Order of the Gods, are still under the Order's jurisdiction. Are you afraid of him?"

Dingkang said, "Are you not afraid of him?"

Pike said, "I'm afraid, of course."

Dingkang said, "Don't forget, we are servants under the boss's name. Once the boss is suspended and convicted, we will definitely be implicated."

Pike said, "I don't know if the boss is clean or not, but I'm very clean. I even remember to return the deposit for my soda bottle."

Dingkang said, "Because we are too insignificant, no one will really care whether we are clean or not. It's not worth investigating for us. Okay, let's drive. After picking up the 'guests,' we'll go pick up the boss. Don't make him wait."

Pike said, "It's okay. The boss will add time himself."

The hearse started, and Alfred turned off the radio, rubbing his forehead lightly.

"It's an Order of the Gods judge," Karen said.

Alfred said, "But their boss, the judge, seems to have been suspended and may face internal litigation from the Order of the Gods."

"Let's follow and keep our distance," Karen said.

"Yes, young master."

(Note: The names Karun and Roja were used in the character introductions, but they were not mentioned in this section of the text.)After about fifteen minutes, the hearse drove into a "Dim Sum Street," with every storefront displaying dim sum, giving Karun a sense of déjà vu from a street of hair salons in his past life.

After waiting for about five minutes, a middle-aged bald man walked out of one of the dim sum shops. He had a cigarette in his hand and cleared his throat heavily before spitting on the ground and getting into the hearse.

"Even if it's just for the sake of appearances, I think this judge should be suspended," Alfred said.

Karun looked towards the dim sum shop where the judge had come out of. The shop was called "Eva's Dim Sum Shop," and there was an advertisement posted outside that read "Delight half of your soul."

Noticing Karun's gaze, Alfred pointed towards the shop and explained, "Young master, the meaning of this advertisement is that this shop's service cannot be taken to the final step, but all the other steps are available, hence the name 'Delight half of your soul.'"

"Take note of it."

"Yes, young master."

"When you have time, go investigate it."

"Yes, young master."

The hearse continued to move, with Alfred following behind. Perhaps because a judge was in the car, even if he was a suspended one, Alfred showed him respect by keeping a greater distance between their cars.

"They seem to live in the Blue Bridge community too, but on the other side," Alfred said.

"Okay."

This area was also part of the Blue Bridge community, but Karun's apartment was located at the southern end, while the hearse was headed to the northern end of the community. The residents of the Blue Bridge community usually went to the city center for their shopping needs, so although the northern and southern ends were technically part of the same community, there wasn't much interaction between them on a daily basis.

The hearse pulled up in front of a storefront at the end of the small commercial street. It seemed to have rented two storefronts.

"This condition is much worse than our home," Alfred said.

Karun nodded and noticed the sign for the funeral home: "Pavarotti's Family Funeral Home."

Of course, a more appropriate understanding would be "Pavarotti Family Funeral Home."

"Record the location," Karun said.

"I have, young master."

"Let's go home then."

"Yes, young master."

Alfred turned the car around and headed towards the apartment.

"Young master, do you plan to approach them?"

"Not for now. I can leave it for the time being. The Allen family will send me my new identity information soon, and according to Puerh's suggestion, they can help me find a new channel to contact and enter the Order of the Gods. As long as I am a servant of the gods, it will be much more convenient."

"Is it safe?"

"Well, not every judge is like Dis."

"Then I'll go investigate them when I have time."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Evie's Dim Sum Shop and Pavarotti's Family Funeral Home. I'll investigate them soon."

"You can take a few days off from accompanying me for these investigations."

"No, protecting your safety is my top priority. I can conduct these investigations at night. The dim sum shop stays open very late."

"Okay."

When they arrived at the apartment complex, Karun went upstairs while Alfred went to park the car. The golden retriever, who had heard Karun's footsteps, opened the door for him.

Puerh was sitting on the sofa in the living room, eating a piece of mousse cake. When she saw Karun come back, she asked, "My dear Karun, did your work go smoothly?"

"I start work tomorrow."

"Oh, thank goodness. With your income, this shaky home can finally be sustained again."

"By the way, remember to share information with Alfred, I don't want to be the messenger between you two," Puerh said.

"Are you talking about the letter? That was my negligence," Puerh admitted frankly, "It's also because I and the stupid dog were too tired after catching the crow last night."

Of course, Puerh couldn't say that it was intentional retaliation for when Alfred deceived her into thinking that the young master had overdrawn his power due to her "urging" and "oppression" to awaken Count Lecarre after Karun tried to do so.

Nowadays, although the Black Spade A organization has only held one meeting, it has formed two factions:

One is the pet radical reformist group composed of cats and dogs from home;

The other is the radio conservative faction composed solely of Alfred.

Puerh's family belief system and the divine finger of light on her tail, the golden hair's knowledge and experience of evil gods, and other factors allow them to use external factors and power to help Karun develop and improve;

Alfred advocates that the young master himself is a great existence and will always be correct and great!

Because Alfred is extremely conservative, he directly put the cats and dogs under the corresponding "radical reform."

"I'll take a shower upstairs first." Karun said as he walked upstairs. The air pollution in York City was very bad, and you could clearly feel the coal pollution in the air when you went out for a walk. It was very uncomfortable without washing.

Alfred also returned home and immediately called Puerh and Kevin to help him check his breath fluctuations.

The results obtained made Alfred very satisfied, because even they who had extremely sensitive "smell" had to admit that Alfred's demonic breath had become very weak, and had been replaced by a kind of priest-like breath.

"Hahaha!!!"

Alfred didn't care about his previous image and laughed heartily with his hands on his hips.

Puerh and Kevin looked at each other and saw the oppression in each other's eyes. Has the conservative faction become so "powerful"!

Although there are small groups, Puerh still reminded:

"Now that your demonic breath has become faint, you can try some basic methods of hiding breath to cover up the remaining demonic breath. Unless you encounter a truly powerful existence, other people using detection techniques will find it difficult to detect your identity as a demon."

"Yes, this is a good suggestion. I'll go and look through Mr. Hoffen's notes now. Praise Mr. Hoffen, praise the young master!"

Puerh, who couldn't stand the "arrogant" conservative faction, jumped onto the golden hair and left the living room on the first floor, muttering to the golden hair under her, "Don't worry about his current momentum, after all, our reformist faction has taken the lead in completing the political marriage and occupying the high ground!"

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

At this moment, cats and dogs rarely united.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Karun realized that the clothes he had taken off two days ago were still in the basin and had not been washed.

Alfred could not be summoned and would not easily go upstairs, so he naturally could not see the basin in the bathroom. Even if he did, Karun would not feel comfortable asking Alfred to wash his clothes.

As for Puerh and the golden hair...

Karun imagined Puerh using cat paws to scrub the clothes and the golden hair carrying the clothesline to hang the clothes.

In short, it was unrealistic.

In the past, in the Inmoleis family, the housework was taken care of by aunts and aunts, and younger siblings would help after school. He almost just lay down;

It was the same when he was at the Allen estate. There were many servants, and he had no such worries at all;

But the reality was that he really needed a maid now.Aleye's wife Jane bought all the household supplies for their home, so they lacked nothing.

Karun found a small stool, sat down, poured in laundry detergent, and began washing clothes.

Karun was patient when cooking, but when doing housework, he felt a slight annoyance rising in his heart.

One by one, the clothes were soaked in water and then soaked in the laundry detergent basin, like coating small fish in flour before frying them.

After soaking, he squeezed them with his hands, and then put them into another basin of clean water to continue squeezing. After two basins of water, he confirmed that there were no more bubbles of laundry detergent foam squeezed out of the clothes, which meant that the clothes were washed.

There was an iron at home, and Karun knew that many of his clothes needed careful handling to look good when worn, but he was really too lazy to bother and just brought the clothes to the rooftop to dry.

Looking at the clothes hung up to dry, Karun frowned slightly because he knew he would probably forget to take them down.

Karun went downstairs.

"Alfred, go find a maid now."

Alfred was taken aback and thought, "Shouldn't we wait for Aleye to come back and look for an agency together?"

But the next moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately said, "I understand, young master, I'll go find one now."

"Also, buy some dinner and we'll just eat whatever tonight."

"Yes, young master."

Alfred immediately took the car keys on the table and left.

Karun returned to the second floor, but did not enter the bedroom. It was too early to rest at this time. If he fell asleep, he would have to wake up in the early morning and sit at the clinic until dawn.

He went into the study, sat down behind the desk, opened the drawer, and saw several notebooks inside. The black notebook was at the bottom, and when he was at the Allen estate, Alfred had specially ordered a wooden box to hold this notebook.

Karun took out the notebook, opened the wooden box, and then opened the notebook. He didn't know if it was because the process dissipated his interest or because he didn't have anything to record today, but he simply closed the notebook and put it back in the drawer.

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf, his gaze wandering until he saw a set of many books called "Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Thief" by Maurice Leblanc, a famous author from Fakson.

Karun took out one of the books, sat down behind the desk, and began to read.

Although he didn't start from the first book, there was no obvious connection between the stories in each book, so it didn't affect reading them separately. Of course, some characters might have some linkage between books.

The story and characters were not complicated, and it looked very interesting and relaxing.

Compared to the realistic absurd literature that Yunes often recommended to him, Karun felt that taking out a leisurely afternoon to read this type of book was truly relaxing and enjoyable.

Of course, he didn't know that his loyal servant Alfred had already returned to the clothing store.

Alfred pushed open the door, and Mrs. Michelle asked with some confusion, "Is there a problem with the clothes?"

"What about her?" Alfred asked.

"Who?"

When Alfred was standing here alone without the presence of the young master, his temperament and gaze easily made people feel fearful.

"Shirley, the girl with the big butt."

"Uh, she left after delivering the yarn..."

"Find her and bring her back."

"This..."

"Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll go, I'll go."

Alfred stood in the store and closed his eyes.Actually, Alfred had finished trying on clothes earlier, but he deliberately stayed a little longer after hearing the conversation between the young master, the female boss, and another young woman.

When he went out, he was just testing whether the young master wanted to find a maid.

But when he got home, he unexpectedly encountered the young master's personal urging!

It was his own mistake. Although he understood the young master's thoughts, he did not correctly recognize the urgency of the young master's idea.

About ten minutes later, Mrs. Michelle ran back to the store holding Hily's hand.

"I brought her back to you." Mrs. Michelle didn't dare to look at Alfred.

Hily bowed to Alfred:

"Hello, did you look for me?"

"Go to my house and be a maid." Alfred said.

"Huh?" Hily didn't understand and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, I need to work and take care of my parents and brother. I really can't spare the time to do..."

"How much do you earn in a month?" Alfred asked.

Mrs. Michelle helped her answer:

"1500 Lier."

Hily immediately said, "No, it's not that much. Generally, it's only seven or eight hundred Lier, and it depends on how much work there is."

Without citizenship, one cannot enter a regular factory and can only go to small workshops that use black labor. Naturally, their income cannot be compared with that of ordinary workers.

Mrs. Michelle immediately pinched Hily's waist!

"3000 Lier a month, including three meals."

Hily was stunned. This was much higher than the monthly income of a worker with citizenship.

Alfred took out his wallet, took out three thousand Lier, and put it in front of Hily:

"Will you do it?"

Hily took a deep breath and nodded, "I'll do it, but it's too much. I have never been a maid before, and I don't know my own abilities..."

"I don't have many requirements." Alfred glanced at Hily's buttocks. He felt that this girl with slightly dark skin was attractive to the young master, and it should be this part.

Therefore, the maid's skirt did not seem suitable for her, only jeans.

Alfred originally wanted to take out a wad of money and give it to Mrs. Michelle to buy Hily some jeans, but hesitated for a moment. He was currently using the young master's money and couldn't be so extravagant.

We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.

Compared to that, Alfred did not think that hiring a maid for 3000 Lier was too exaggerated. The young master would not have any objections to this price, after all, the cost of that cat drinking coffee and eating snacks every month is almost the same.

Alfred put the money in Hily's hand and said:

"This is your salary for this month. In addition, you need to prepare your own work clothes. Choose a few pairs of jeans here and change into them. I will take you to my house."

"Go to work today?" Hily was very surprised. This was too fast.

Mrs. Michelle immediately pulled Hily's hand and pulled her inside:

"Come, I'll help you pick pants."

Then she whispered:

"Don't be afraid. Do you know what brand of clothes this butler is wearing and how much it costs? People like him won't harm you!"

"But..."

"Smack!"

Mrs. Michelle used her hand to pat Hily's buttocks.

"Ouch..."

"Hey, I told you, which man can resist its temptation? The handsome young master is obviously no exception, but he's shy. You seize the opportunity."

...

"Oh my god, Karun, you washed your clothes yourself!"

Puerh sat on the golden retriever's back, just finished "patrolling" the rooftop and was surprised to see the clothes hanging to dry. She immediately ran to the study to ask.

"Yeah.""My poor young master Karun has fallen so low as to have to wash his own clothes." Puerh wiped non-existent tears with her cat paw.

"Woof... sob." The golden retriever also showed a sad expression.

"Don't worry, when Unis's bloodline is fully digested, we'll bring her over as the lady of the house to take care of you," Puerh immediately suggested.

"No need, I'll have a maid," Karun replied while flipping through a book.

"Right, we do need a maid. We need an experienced, stable, responsible maid with a family and responsibilities," Puerh added with every adjective being able to fit in parentheses. "And older."

Your dear great-great-great-grandmother still remembers to keep your spot warm while you sleep.

At this moment, the door on the ground floor was opened.

"Young master, I've brought the maid back!"

Puerh immediately summoned the golden retriever to the staircase on the second floor and saw a young girl in jeans standing next to Alfred.

Soon, the eyes of the cat and dog noticed a crucial spot.

Puerh murmured to herself, "Damn, the conservative forces are so fierce!"
