On April 16, 1770, Ajaccio was covered with dark clouds and a continuous drizzle.
Although the farmers in the countryside couldn't help but smile at the expected spring rain, for the poor in the western part of Ajaccio, the rain was depressing.
Most of the citizens living in the slums do not have regular jobs and can only make ends meet by doing odd jobs in the streets of Ajaccio. This non-stop spring rain has undoubtedly reduced their income for a day.
The idle poor people sat idle in the iron sheds, listening to the sound of rain hitting the iron sheets in boredom.
"Huh? What do you think that is?"
A poor man who was dozing against the wall accidentally glanced at the street opposite, sat up quickly, woke up his companion and said.
I saw a girl holding a black umbrella slowly walking out from the opposite street corner.
Although her whole body was wrapped in a simple black robe, from her long white fingers and her beautiful face looming under the hood, she even surpassed most of the little Habsburg princesses in terms of charm.
"Where did this noble lady come from?"
"It would be great if I could replace that old lady in my house."
"Mom, I can see..."
"Shhhhhhh! Please keep your voice down, didn't you see the person behind her?!"
Listening to the discussion among his companions getting louder and louder, the poor man quickly signaled them to shush, pointed at the people guarding the girl and shouted in a low voice.
The girl was followed closely by six patrols in full formation. Although they did not carry fire due to the weather, the rainwater only made the swords on their waists even more cold.
Everyone knows that the current patrol is a relative of Governor Bonaparte, and if the girl can be escorted here by the patrol, her identity will be revealed:
"Hiss...that must be Miss Anna."
"No, I saw her parents a few days ago. This girl has really changed completely in the past two years."
"I'm eating and drinking better. Before, I was so thin that my bones were visible, and my skin was withered and yellow."
"It's just that what Miss Anna did when she returned to the slums, her parents no longer live here."
...
Anna ignored the opinions of the people on the street, but skillfully searched the neighborhood, and soon stopped in front of an unobtrusive and shaky-looking small shed.
Dongdong.
Reaching out and knocking twice on the rusty iron door, Anna waited patiently.
After a while, I faintly heard an inaudible movement from inside the shed, and then a young but strong female voice came from inside:
"who?!"
"Yes, Ann, Anna Celestia." Anna responded softly.
The iron sheets were slightly opened, and the girl inside cautiously looked at An outside the house. After confirming that it was him, she opened the door completely.
Inside the door was a young man of similar age to Anna, wearing a rag shirt.
Moreover, her face was withered, her cheeks looked very weak and severely malnourished, and her thighs were not even as thick as a normal male's forearm.

"It's you, Ann, come in quickly." The girl inside the door seemed to not want to be exposed to the eyes of the neighbors. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Anna's arm to pull her in.
",Sister Xadia."
Anna stood there, a little excited and said with heartfelt joy:
"Governor Bonaparte wishes to see you."
...
"Then, you are Miss Xadia, right?"
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Lawrence looked at the withered young man brought in by Anna in surprise. He quickly waved for her to sit down and asked Anna to stay in the study room. After all, she was familiar with Xia Dia.
Xadia nodded expressionlessly, then shook her head and said in a hoarse voice:
"I am Xia Di, but I am not a little one. I am Xia Diya from the slums."
"oh?"
Lawrence looked at the young man in front of him even more surprised. Although he hardly used power
Although the situation was overwhelming, Lawrence was still very surprised to see that Xadia still looked completely indifferent when facing the supreme commander of Corsica.
"Sister Shadia!"
Anna, who was sitting next to Xia Dia, quickly poked her with her elbow, fearing that her attitude would arouse Lawrence's dissatisfaction.
"Okay, I'll just call you Xadia."
Lawrence, who came from a later generation, did not care about the rules and regulations of aristocratic etiquette, so he said nonchalantly:
"Although this is my first time seeing you, I am very satisfied with the work you have done for me in the past two years."
As early as two years ago, in order to fight against Xi, Lawrence at that time assigned Anna to contact the children's party she once belonged to, and Lawrence paid for it to regularly obtain information from this party.
Even after Ciro's death, Lawrence did not relax his support for this party. Instead, he increased the amount of funding for them as the size of the party expanded.
Not long ago, when Lawrence inquired about William Pitt's identity, the information from the party saved Lawrence a lot of trouble, including the address of the tavern where William Pitt's entourage lived. The party provided him with the address.
And just at the end, Lawrence released the news to the outside world that the Kingdom of Corsica was about to be established, and it was also through this party that it was spread to the outside world.
However, it was only today that Lawrence learned that the leader of such a large-scale intelligence organization was actually the thin and eclectic girl in front of him.
"Just use money to do things."
Xia Diya shook slightly and said very briefly that she didn't take Lawrence's affirmation to heart.
Lawrence sat on a chair and waited for the movie. Seeing that Xadia had no intention of speaking actively, he smiled to himself and said:
"Okay, okay, tell me about your party, that..."
"Bread party." Shadia interrupted Lawrence and said:
"That's its name."
"Bread Club? I must say it's a peculiar name." Lawrence said curiously.
“It was founded with the hope that everyone in attendance would have all-you-can-eat bread.”
Xia Diya looked at Lauren, lowered his head and was silent for a moment and said:
"With your funding, this original intention has been basically realized. In this sense, I have to thank you."
Lawrence frowned and looked at Xia Diya's thin arms, which were as thin as firewood. Obviously, what Xia Diya said about having a full stomach did not include herself.
Anna saw Lawrence's suspicion, so she walked up behind Lawrence and leaned over and said softly:
"First of all, only a small part of what you give to the bread maker will be left to her. I have also advised her, but..."
"Yeah..."
Lawrence nodded while looking at the young man in front of him with interest. Regardless of whether Xia Dia acted out of morality or profit, he was much wiser than those idiots who were blind to money. He was even patrolling with Lawrence himself.
Distributing money among troops and troops has the same effect.
This also made Lawrence feel that he made the right choice in choosing to meet her.
After all, Lawrence still has an important position that is still vacant - the head of the Corsican State Secret Police.
From Corsica to Fourth Rome.
