Chapter 6 Temptation of A Remote Place

Sunlight shone through the window.

The windows of the dining room were open. Outside the windows was the backyard of the house. There was a flowerbed. Inside the flowerbed, the tulips were very beautiful. They swayed gently with the wind, and the strong fragrance of flowers drifted into the room with the wind. It was refreshing.

Ryan sat at a seat facing the windows, separated from his uncle's family by a rectangular table. On the opposite side sat his uncle Jordan Bell, his aunt Susan Bell, and his cousin Ronzo Bell, who was sitting on the top of the table on his right. Now, he was talking with confidence.

"This is rare! This is a rare good thing!"

Ronzo waved his arm. The amplitude of his movement was not big, but it was very powerful.

He stared at Ryan, who was opposite him. His eyes were bright and his expression was particularly sincere.

Ronzo had once seen Speaker Macron's speech in the upper house and often practiced in private. At this time, he was imitating that person's heroic posture. However, his performance was somewhat funny in Ryan's eyes.

"One Gold Louis!"

He raised his index finger and clicked his tongue.

"The settlement fee was a Gold Louis. As long as you sign the contract, you can have a Gold Louis!"

After a pause, Ronzo blinked.

"As long as you go to the New Continent, you will immediately become a public servant as soon as you get off the ship and work as a level six civil servant... I have been working in the city for several years, and now I am only level six. You only need to sign this contract, and you will be on the same level as me!"

Ronzo shrugged and smiled. There was a very conspicuous envy in his eyes.

After that, he did not speak. His gaze shifted to the the clock on the wall. He seemed to have suffered a blow. However, the corner of his eyes did not shift away from Ryan's face. He was carefully observing Ryan's reaction.

Ryan was silent as he searched his memories.

A few days ago, Ronzo had come to the apartment to visit Ryan and talked about this matter. At that time, the young man had been a little tempted, but in the end, out of his cautious nature, he had not agreed, but said that he needed to think about it for a while.

After leaving home to be an apprentice at the age of thirteen, except for his second cousin, James, who would occasionally come to his rented apartment for one or two nights when he was drunk, his uncle Jordan, aunt Susan, and Ronzo had not come to see him. Their meeting a few days ago was the first time Ronzo came to see him.

How could such a good thing benefit him?

This was the reason why Ryan hesitated.

Moreover, he had his own plans.

The manager of the business club, Mr. Devon, valued the youth very much. After a period of time, as long as he got the accountant certificate, he would be promoted. He would no longer be a clerk, but an assistant of Mr. Devon.

In the foreseeable future, he might be able to take over the position of manager after Mr. Devon retired.

Compared to that road, it might not seem to have the same bright future, but it was more stable and not that dangerous.

At that time, the teenager was just hesitating about it, but now, he had other ideas and connected it to the attack last night.

"The monthly salary is eighty Louis, free accommodation, and free food. As long as this kind of good news is spread, the people who rush to go can line up from the Southern Bridge to the Holy Cross Church. Ryan, what are you hesitating for!"

Uncle Jordan's voice was almost roaring.

He stared fiercely at Ryan, and his face flushed red.

"If not for your cousin's relationship with the city government, such a good thing would never have happened to you!"

"Sign it..."

His fat aunt Susan said with a smile. Her skin on her face folded, and her eyes narrowed into a line.

At this moment, Ronzo pushed a stack of documents in front of Ryan. There was a gold coin on the documents. It was illuminated by the sunlight through the window, reflecting the dazzling light.

"A Gold Louis!"

Ronzo stared at the gold coin and said in a chanting tone.

"Sign it. This Gold Louis is yours!"

Ryan's gaze also fell on the gold coin.

Although there was no evidence, he understood that this matter had something to do with the attack last night. There must be a connection between the two. Perhaps it was because he had not signed the contract and had not gone to the New Continent, which hindered someone's plan, so he had been attacked last night.

Another choice!

Ryan raised his head and looked at his uncle, Jordan.

"James..."

Jordan frowned and waited for Ryan to continue.

"I think we can let James sign this contract."

Ryan's second cousin, James Bell, was a bartender at a bar in Baker Street. He often hung out with those shady fellows, so sloppy that the Bell family's heart was scorched.

"No, James can't go to that damn place!"

Aunt Susan was hurried to interrup as she was afraid that her youngest son would stay away from her.

No matter how disappointing James was, he was still the youngest son she loved the most. If he was far away from her, she would probably never be able to see him in this lifetime. When she thought of this, her heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.

Jordan glanced at Susan with a gloomy expression.

Ronzo looked the same.

If possible, he wanted to send that disappointing brother to the New Continent.

With that guy staying his family, he would also be implicated. If he wanted to marry the daughter of a declining noble, it would not have been possible. After all, it would be too annoying if other knew that he had a ruffian brother.

Unfortunately, this contract had to be signed by Ryan.

A week ago, his superior had called him to the office and had handed the contract to him. When he had heard the name of Ryan from his superior, he had been shocked. Especially when his superior had told him to make sure that Ryan signed the contract. In this way, in assessment of the second half of the year, he would sign the recommendation letter and recommend him to take the test for the level five civil servant.

This was an unexpected surprise!

With Ronzo's qualifications and background, as well as his ability to work, a level six civil servant should be at the peak of his career. Perhaps he could be promoted to a level five civil servant before retirement, however, that was only a consolation prize and had no practical significance.

Now, he was able to obtain the opportunity to be promoted. For this, he was even willing to sell Ryan to the devil!

Moreover, he just needed to go to the New Continent.

He also looked at the contract. It was an official document, not forged.

Well, in fact, he did not look carefully. Even if this was a fake document, he would forcibly pull Ryan's hand to sign it. For this, even if it were a deal with the devil, there was no problem.

"No, James can't!"

Ronzo leaned forward and stared at Ryan.

"Compared to you, he is too inferior!"

He placed his hands on the dining table and overlapped them.

"This is a good opportunity. Only if I give it to you will I not waste it. If it were forJames, even if he forcefully escorted that guy onto the boat, he would still jump into the sea and swim back to Lanceton midway..."

Ronzo laughed as he said.

"Sign it, Ryan!"

He sat up straight and pursed his lips with a serious expression.

"I will not harm you..."
