Chapter Thirty-Four Slums, Misers

Slum, this is the place where residents of the bottom-level Blackstone City gather.

Compared with the neat streets of the rich area in the center of the town, the citizens who come and go to dress appropriately, the most indecent side of Blackstone City is presented here.

Alleys with sewage flowing, ragged residents, and crimes that have been repeatedly banned...

Anyone with a little ability will not want to stay in the slums anymore. Even if you move to a dilapidated and desolate suburb, it is better than being in a slum!

But even in the slums, there is a strange man.

He is the richest man in the slums, and he should even be a huge wealthy man in the entire Blackstone City, but such a rich man is willing to live in the slums. It has to be said that this is a strange story.

As for why he stayed here, according to the analysis of the archives, it should be to save money.

That's right, this rich man named Grandet is a genuine slave to the wealth.

He clearly has the wealth that can buy half of the slum, but he lives a harder life than most of the poor in the slums. He lives in a broken house with wind and rain in winter and rain in summer, so that no one in the entire Blackstone City knows Grandet's wealth.

Until some time ago, an unexpected fire burned Grandet alive to his home, and those who went to put out the fire found boxes of gold and silver in the ruins.

At that time, the entire Blackstone City was shocked by the wealth accumulated by Grandet.

Not to mention the slum residents on the scene, they all rushed forward to start looting, and during this process, more than a dozen people were even trampled to death.

Finally, Grandet's treasure was robbed.

Grandet has no relatives, no children and descendants, and there is not even a friend who can speak.

Originally, things should be over when we got here.

But in the past few days, some bizarre events have occurred in the slums.

Some people disappeared, no one saw them, but they just disappeared from their homes.

Then all the property in their homes disappeared, and not even a single copper coin was left.

Finally, according to the investigation of the City Guards, these people were the ones who snatched Grandet's treasures the most.

According to analysis, such incidents are likely to be related to the monsters that appeared in the city recently, and the city guards immediately told Andrei about the matter.

After Andrei received the report, he rushed to the slum as soon as possible.

"Grandt's obsession with wealth is far more than ordinary people. According to the rules, he is indeed very likely to return strangely."

"Those people took away Grandet's treasures, how could Grandet let them go?"

"It turns out that he is a veritable greedy man."

Andre walked in the slums and walked around the site where several missing incidents occurred.

When he saw the traces of the scene, Andre nodded slightly.

Sure enough, there was still a strange and unique yin and cold feeling left on the scene.

However, judging from the feeling left behind, it is worse than Richard, and it is better than nothing.

With such a faint aura, Andre couldn't even feel Grandet's existence, let alone finding him.

Even though Grandet still retains a little bit of reason, he is afraid that he will go around Andre, and it will be even more trouble for Andre to find him.

"It's too strong and you'll have troubles."

"If I have a ability to strengthen my perception and help detect, the hunting efficiency will increase significantly, and I don't even need the information of the city guards. I can kill the entire Black Stone City in one or two days.

But neither the red poisonous snake nor Xisa have mastered similar abilities, nor have they heard of them.

Andrei set a goal silently in his heart.

"It seems that the next resurrected character will be given priority to detection."

"Since you can't find Grandet directly, you have to change your mind and let Grandet come to me on his own initiative."

"By the way, I also want to do a few more experiments on a weaker weirdo like Grandet."

Andre's eyes were deep.

Until now, he still doesn't know why strangeness is born.

He had no conditions before, but now he has enough strength. He wants to try to capture a strange person alive and see if he can find more information.

Thinking of this, Andre turned around and walked towards a building in the slum.

This house is already in ruins and cannot be lived in at all. It is full of dark traces of fire. It is even considered a haunted house because it burns Grandet to death. Even beggars are unwilling to sleep here.

After Andrei walked here, he was not polite and walked straight in.

Before entering, he said to the city guards who had been following him not far away and waiting for instructions.

"Go and have someone send the title deed of this house."

"Also, let's collect Grandet's lost treasures. Whether you exchange them for money or grab them directly, you'll need as much as you want. I'll send them here before dark."

After hearing the order, several city guards did not dare to neglect and quickly followed Andrei's instructions.

Andrei closed his eyes and rested in the ruins, calming his breath, ready to deal with the next battle.

He could feel that the remaining breath of Grandet was very weak, which means that Grandet was so weird that he was far less cruel than that of the enemy he had ever faced.

But the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength to deal with monsters like the weird ones that Andre has no idea about yet. Andre dares not be careless at all.

Who knows if there will be any incredible relics of obsession on Grandet?

It's better to be careful.

Andrei experienced the power of ripples and ripples martial arts in his breath, and his breath became more and more settled.

In the evening, several city guards finally walked in with a box.

In front of Andre, they opened the box, and there were immediately various flashes inside it, a large number of silver and copper coins mixed in it, and occasionally they could see a few expensive gold coins.

At the top of these coins are the land deeds of this house and some other industries purchased by Grandet.

"Sir Andre, we have done our best to collect it."

"A lot of people were competing for Grandet's treasures at that time, and time was in a hurry, so we can only get these now."

Several city guards looked at Andre in panic.

Andre nodded, it was beyond his expectations to collect so many.

He waved his hand, and the city guards quickly left as if they were fleeing.

Andrei waited quietly until dark until late at night.

According to the records of the archives, residents nearby would always hear ding-dang sounds at this time in the past.

They used to think it was the sound of the iron sheet being blown by the wind, but now when they think about it, it's probably Grandet who is counting his wealth.

For a wealth-keeping slave, this habit is probably not changed even if he is a ghost.

Andre sat in the room.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

In the room, there was a sound of licking the tongue and turning over the account book.
