David considers himself a very smart man. After his parents got married, they moved from Dunland to Bruguet to make a living. His father, who was originally an apprentice of an excellent metalworking craftsman, studied in Bruguet and became an excellent steam engine engineer. His mother moved to Bruguet in Dunland.

The settlement successfully found a Dunland language teacher.

In the era of great navigation and steam engines, the most profitable industry was undoubtedly the financiers on White Street in the capital. Those fat-bellied gentlemen with top hats were the ones calling the shots on the trading floor, which made the young David extremely envious, even though his father wanted to

He went to major in Mechanical Engineering, but David changed his major to Finance when he signed up.

But reality slapped David hard in the face. When he was in school, he was the son of aristocrats or big financiers from Bruguet's country. He was like glass mixed with diamonds. David, who had just graduated and was high-spirited, wanted to go first.

I was looking for a position as a stock trader. The interviewer went well in the interview, but when he talked about family and ethnicity, his face suddenly changed. He quickly ended the interview and said that he had news to inform him.

David, who considered himself a top student and a future elite, could not find a job six months after graduation. His father saw that the connections he had accumulated for many years and the help of many layers of connections sent him to the National Bank of Eggsburg. He originally planned to make a difference in the financial battlefield.

It turned into being at the counter every day arguing with the grocery store aunt about deposits and withdrawals. David felt that he was just a humble bank clerk in his life, until one day after a rain two local gang members of Dunland descent knocked open the door of his small one-room apartment.

's door.

The two men said nothing and threw an envelope directly to David.

"See for yourself, do you want to live a prosperous life and go back to visit relatives in glory, or continue to live in this dark and shabby apartment for the rest of your life." One of the men who looked like the leader said.

David opened the envelope in confusion. A stack of ten pound notes was revealed. The inertia of work made David count the notes inside.

"50 pictures, all Harold."

Harold I was the founding king of Brugge, and he also had the largest denomination of banknotes in Brugge. Each banknote was ten pounds. The envelope in front of him contained his five years' salary.

"It's hard to get this money..." David swallowed. The huge amount of money in front of him did not make David dizzy.

"There are always some problems with the source of funds in our industry. You just need to turn a blind eye when we come to you for a loan. Don't worry, we are just borrowing your loan to replace our funds. We will repay the loan on time.

"

"why me?"

"You are one of our compatriots. If you are not worthy of helping us, who else can we go to? You will be promoted if you do big business, and you can get remuneration at the same time. You also help your compatriots. This is not a win-win-win-win situation."

David's ideological struggle didn't last too long. On one side was the disillusionment of his ideals, and on the other was the bright Harold. What followed was the completion of a 500,000-pound loan business with Bais Import and Export Trading Company for three consecutive years. The illegal gang also

He is very trustworthy and always repays his debts on time. Because of his excellent business, he was promoted to manager and received a salary of 500 pounds a year.

Not only did he have a decent life and got a girlfriend, but something went wrong recently. His superiors seemed to have doubts about his loan business and transferred him out of the loan business. His girlfriend Luo Lan also knew about his situation, and she reminded herself that if the illegal gang

If you know that your use value has been used up, you will definitely not let yourself go. Only the dead can protect secrets. If the bank knows that you helped launder money, it will definitely send you to prison.

When he was panicking all day long and preparing to escape to the Northern Continent Colony, Lorraine brought back the three Wolfe brothers one day. Although the three brothers seemed not very smart, Lorraine formulated a robbery plan that worked both inside and outside, and by the way, Wolfe

The three husband brothers went to find a bad gambler as their scapegoat.

In the past two weeks, I carefully planned my escape route and the location of valuable items in the vault. On July 21, everything went smoothly. I grabbed more than 10,000 pounds in cash and more valuable jewelry, and successfully replaced myself with the scapegoat.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a damn police dog that day and was shot. My original plan to buy a farm in the Northern Continent and live a prosperous life after finishing this job was ruined.

The four of them fled to the countryside together and put on a spare carriage. The four of them carefully returned to the city of Eggsburg and separated. David sneaked back to the house where Lorraine lived, usually in the bell tower of the nearby church.

Look from a high vantage point to see if there are any police or plainclothes officers monitoring Lorraine.

Four days have passed since the robbery, and the enthusiasm of the police in the Kingdom of Bruguet is only three days. There is no sign of the police patrolling the streets. Now the only worry is the three Wolf brothers. David is very worried that these three look like

Will stupid people get caught and implicate themselves?

There were no suspicious people on the street today. David finally felt relieved and planned to sneak to the Northern Continent on a boat introduced by Luo Lan at the end of the month. Then a month later, Luo Lan also resigned and they would meet in the Northern Continent.

Although all the jewelry was lost, he could still get 5,000 pounds of more than 10,000 pounds in cash divided 50-50 in advance, which was enough for him to buy a medium-sized farm in the Northern Continent and run it. Thinking of this, David felt better.

Then he walked out of the church and returned to Lorraine's house next door, preparing to have a good sleep.

Dais walked out of the church door and saw a boy in his early ten years setting up a stall selling newspapers at the door. Thinking that he had been hiding in Tibet for a few days without contact with outsiders, David became interested and walked up to chat with him.

"Does anyone buy the little guy's scrap newspapers?"

The little boy in front of him opened the two piles of newspapers in front of him enthusiastically when he saw someone coming over. He pointed at the newer pile and said.

"Brother, look, these are this week's and last week's newspapers. What happened is quite new. You can buy it back and read the news. The key point is that the original price was 1 to 2 pence and now it only costs 2 French new. Isn't it a great value?

"

"What about this pile?" David pointed to the pile of yellow-looking newspapers next to him.

"These are old newspapers. You can buy them to wrap food or paper walls or windows. However, sir, you don't need this to replace wallpaper for your high-end clothes."

"The kid is very discerning." David enjoyed the compliments. He took out a penny and threw it to the kid in front of him. "Bring me the five recent newspapers. What's the big news recently?"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to find it for you now. Isn't the biggest news this week a bank robbery? I heard that the robbers brutally killed a bank employee and stole at least tens of thousands of pounds of property?" The newsboy in front of him rummaged through five pieces of paper.

Hand the newspaper to yourself.

"How many tens of thousands of pounds?"

"Yes, I am content with a few hundred pounds. I don't know how to spend tens of thousands of pounds."

"That's not what you should be thinking about now." David was secretly happy that it seemed that the scapegoat plan had not been exposed for the time being. David happily walked back to Lorraine's residence next door.

Reading the latest newspapers, most of them are daily news. Except for the recent bank robbery, several countries in the Western Continent have defeated several tribes in the Northern Continent and opened up many new colonies. Or what new discoveries have been made by explorers in the Southern Continent?

Species, there has been no major war news recently since Frontania's Great Expedition with more than a hundred sailing battleships and steamships as the main force was destroyed in the east more than ten years ago.

While reading the news indifferently, David woke up with a rapid knocking outside the door. He looked at his pocket watch and saw that at four o'clock in the afternoon, Lorraine's off-duty time was five o'clock in the afternoon. Who is here now? David is here

I took out the unused pistol from the drawer. Although I had never fired a shot, holding it always gave me courage.

"Who?" David's voice trembled a little.

"It's us, Brother Wolfe."

Hearing this, David felt relieved and opened the door. The three men at the door, who were different in height, fat and thin, were the three Wolf brothers.

"Why are you here today? Didn't you agree to meet here at the end of the month?"

The three of them squeezed in together and threw a bag to David. The tallest man still held a bag himself.

"Your share is a total of five thousand five hundred pounds. If you count, they are all descendants of Dunland. We can't cheat you and run away."

David opened his pocket and found that the banknotes inside were sorted by denomination, from the largest ten pound note to the smallest one shilling note. A rough estimate was between five thousand and six thousand pounds.

David hid his pocket in the bedroom and walked out. The three brothers had already poured themselves tea.

"Are you planning to go to the Northern Continent with me?"

"We didn't say we were going to the Northern Continent. The reason why we robbed money was because we came into contact with a mysterious organization. If each of us contributed more than a thousand pounds, they would be willing to sacrifice to the gods in exchange for us awakening as extraordinary beings.

"The one who spoke was the eldest of the Wolf brothers, who was my favorite.

"Supernatural beings?" David, as an employee of the National Bank, and his fiancée Loren, who is also an employee of the church, naturally knew about the existence of supernormal beings. But whether it was the president's casual chat or Loren's awakening who had never heard of sacrifice.

The awakening of most extraordinary beings is either a matter of life or death, while a few lucky ones awaken after a short sleep. Such super lucky people are generally called those blessed by gods.

"Be careful of being deceived." David reminded him out of friendship with his compatriots.

"How could we be deceived? We personally fired at those extraordinary beings in red clothes. The bullet only left a red mark on his hand without scratching the skin." After the boss finished speaking, the man next to him

The two brothers also nodded to show that they had seen it with their own eyes.

David didn't want anything to happen in the early stages of his escape, so he had to remind the three of them: "I'm leaving Bruguet at the end of the month. You'd better keep a low profile these days. There won't be any strange people when you come."

"We are very low-key, haha. You don't know that we set our foothold opposite the bank that was robbed. The police have turned around Eggsburg these days, but no one thought to check the bank opposite.

That street. As for the strange people, there was no one across from the church when we came, only pedestrians and carriages passing by."
