Pandley looked at the power of attorney in his hand with a frown on his face and turned it around anxiously.
He had been warned by the law firm for the second time yesterday, and coupled with the hospital compensation that had not yet been recovered, he became more and more convinced that he might have been cursed by bad luck recently.
If I continue to fail to complete this deal, I may be expelled from the law firm and enter the industry blacklist. This will happen to me for the rest of my life... Pan Deli stood in front of his desk and sighed.
Just when he was lamenting his miserable fate, a burst of noise came from the window, which made his already gloomy mood even more confusing. He slammed the documents in his hand to the ground, gritted his teeth and went downstairs.
"These guys don't care about other people's feelings at all!" Pandley was wearing a nightgown and a pair of slippers making a clicking sound on the floor. He opened the door and wanted to teach those unqualified people a lesson.
There was a banging sound.
The door was pushed open, and Pandley was wearing a nightgown. He had an outstanding appearance. Matched with the anger on his face, his whole body exuded a different kind of majesty.
In front of him, four or five burly middle-aged men followed the sound and looked over.
Their weather-beaten faces are covered with thick beards, their eyes are evil, and their strong backs and thick arms clearly show that they have been engaged in heavy manual labor all year round.
Compared with them, Pandley in his pajamas was like a skinny little chicken, looking extremely weak.
An awkward and silent look at each other.
"My God, the weather is really nice..." Pandley said dryly.
After glancing at Pendry, these people didn't stop at all. They pushed each other into the house next door, and then another loud noise came out.
Pandry had already vented most of his anger and looked dejected. He was about to go home and continue to think about the troublesome commission in hand. When he was closing the door, he happened to catch a glimpse of the sign next door.
"Mutual Aid Society?"
Pandley was somewhat impressed by the house next door, and after thinking about it again, he was ready to compromise.
"Maybe I can give it a try. I won't have such bad luck all the time."
Then he quickly went back to wash up and dress up. When he opened the door again, he regained his usual professional lawyer demeanor and confidence.
"It's my first visit, and I'm still a neighbor. I should bring some gifts." He looked at the tricky power of attorney in his hand and muttered to himself.
Pandley, who had just knocked on the door, felt a little regretful, feeling that he was too rash.
"It's all because of those rude guys who disrupted the rhythm of my day."
Just as he lowered his head and complained softly, the door opened, and a face with no features popped out.
Gary looked Pandley up and down, and finally focused on the document in Pandley's hand. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have already explained that he is not a wanted criminal. If you have any questions, please go to the police station and ask."
Pandley was confused. When he saw Gary trying to close the door, he quickly stopped him, "I have a commission to entrust you with."
"That's right," Gary scratched his head and smiled, "Sorry, sorry, please come in, I thought you were here to provide clues?"
Pandley followed Gary into the room and saw a thick stack of papers stacked on the table next to the commission column.
"What clue?" Pandley asked subconsciously.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding that is not beautiful."
Gary rang the bell, and soon Selin and Betro came downstairs.
Selin looked at Pandley, who was in a neat suit, and then at Gary, showing a questioning expression.
"The new commission is not here to provide clues." Gary explained.
Selin nodded and invited Pandley to sit on the sofa nearby, "Hello, President of the York City Mutual Aid Association, Selin Claude."
"Pandley Luther." Pandley stretched out his hand to shake Selin's hand, "I have a commission for you." Pandley hesitated and said a little embarrassed, "Something special."
"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Please elaborate on it."
"I... I have a friend who is also a client of mine. We originally made an appointment to meet at the law firm, but after the agreed time, I still couldn't see him, so I wanted to visit him at his home."
"His home is in a manor in the southwest outside the city, not far away. When I saw him, he was already in a state where he could not move freely, and his body was covered with bandages. After his wife told him,
That’s when I realized what happened.”
Pendry paused for a moment, "It is said that their manor was attacked by wild beasts."
"Beasts?" Selin asked curiously, "Are there any large beasts that can hurt people near York?"
"His wife also took me to see their manor. A large number of fruit trees were badly damaged, which was a huge loss." Pandley feels that he is particularly sensitive to money figures now.
"So your commission is for us to help control the wild beasts? You can seek help from the police for this kind of matter. It is within their scope of responsibility to control the wild beasts."
"I have already asked, but..." Pandley said hesitantly, looking embarrassed, "After my friend was injured, he immediately sent his servant to the police station to explain the situation, and the police were dispatched that night."
"But it is said that ghosts appear at night, and the police's muskets are no match."
"Damn, this matter has nothing to do with me originally, but if I can't complete this business, I may be kicked out of the law firm. I am also burdened with a housing loan. Once there is no income, I really can't
Know……"
Pandley showed his true feelings, tears and runny nose flowed out as he spoke.
"Ghost?" Selling asked.
Pandley sniffed, took out his handkerchief and cleaned it, then nodded slowly, "Yes."
"Okay, the advance payment is 20%, which is five pounds, and the remaining amount will be paid after the completion..." Selin was halfway through, seeing Pandley's embarrassed expression, and sighed, "The advance payment is not needed for the time being.
Please go over there and let’s perfect the contract together.”
Pandley nodded excitedly and looked in the direction of Selin's finger. In a nearby room, a tall man was sitting at a narrow desk, busy with something.
"Such a person can actually be qualified for civil service." Pandley was shocked. He felt that the seal used to sign documents might not be as big as that man's thumb.
"After all, we don't have enough manpower, otherwise we wouldn't let Betro do such a thing," Selin sighed, "We need to organize the manpower, can you leave us a contact information?"
Pandelli shifted his gaze back from the tall Betero and waved his hand, "I don't think you need it. I'm at No. 33 next door. We are neighbors. I will always be waiting for you at home."
After saying that, the two parties quickly went through the contract several times. After finding that there were no problems, Pandley happily stamped the contract and breathed a sigh of relief.
After everything was agreed upon, he was about to leave. As soon as he opened the door, a white figure rushed in, followed closely by a slightly thinner figure. Two consecutive impacts knocked him dizzy.
.
"Andu, please restrain your behavior appropriately in front of guests." Selin scolded in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Angdu apologized quickly, "but we have no choice but to do it. You don't know how scary it is outside now."
At Selling's signal, Gary sent the stunned Pandley home. Although it was only a few dozen steps away, seeing Pandley's appearance, Selling was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to walk the dozens of steps smoothly.
It wasn't until he sat down peacefully on the sofa at home that Pandley came back to his senses.
"Have I seen that person just now somewhere?"
??????
"So, what happened that made you so panicked?" Selin suddenly froze and asked nervously, "Did the purification ceremony not go well?"
"Well, that's true, but not entirely." Angdu found a few old coats from the cabinet and threw them to Su Ge, "Oghai
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Archbishop Ma is away for something, so we came back first."
"What's going on?"
Ang Du showed a frightened expression, "Let's let the police station post the wanted list. Now everyone in the city still thinks that Su Ge is a suspect. On the way back, we met several groups of enthusiastic people who wanted to take us to the police station.
The citizens kept pestering us, and in the end they made a long circuit back from the north."
Selin nodded thoughtfully, and Gary smiled, then went to the table next to the commission column to bring a stack of wanted orders, and placed them in front of Ondu and Su Ge.
"This..." Su Ge was stunned.
"They are all here to provide clues," Gary said with a smile, "It seems you are very popular."
At this time, Selin clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. After briefly explaining Pandley's entrustment, he began to discuss the assignment of tasks.
"Let's start with the simplest thing. Send someone to the police station to explain the situation and ask them to help remove Su Ge's wanted list."
There was a different pause in Selin's tone when he said the word "Suge", but everyone pretended not to realize it.
"Two people followed Pandley to complete the commission, while the rest scattered around the city and continued to collect clues about devil worship and the Shilian Apartment incident."
After saying this, Selin looked around, waiting for a voice to suggest something.
"No problem, as long as it's not a clerical job in an office, I can accept it." Gary said with a smile.
"Then you come with me to complete the commission."
Seeing that everyone was meaningless, Selin was about to announce the start of action when Su Ge suddenly swallowed his saliva and his voice was particularly loud.
Su Ge was sitting on the side, nervously at a loss. When he saw everyone suddenly turning their heads to look at him, his mind went blank in embarrassment.
Although he has not undergone the archbishop's purification ceremony, he is still considered a member of the association, and he should have been assigned tasks.
However, he had never participated in or observed the association's actions. He was too embarrassed to ask questions, so he could only sit silently and wait to be assigned.
Selin looked at Su Ge, who was so embarrassed that his fingers were fighting with each other, and began to think deeply.
Originally, the old team members should lead the new team members, but considering that bringing in new people would waste a lot of action, and the wanted list on the street has not yet been removed, taking to the streets openly like this will definitely cause quite a commotion.
Maybe you can ask Cecia to help take care of it first and explain some basic common sense?
Just as Selin was thinking this, Angdu suddenly raised his hand.
"How about we take Su Ge with us to complete the commission?" Angdu suggested.
"No," Selin shook his head. "Although newcomers can directly participate in the commission, a caregiver who is not involved in the task must be assigned to lead it from beginning to end. Originally, only two members were required to complete the commission. If one increases and one decreases, the task will still remain.
How to proceed?”
"So, all four of you are going."
"Four of us?" Selin asked in surprise, and then his eyes turned around on Sugar, Gary and Betro, "Four of us can complete a small commission?"
Angdu nodded, "The rest of the investigation is not expected to be concluded immediately. I can go to Cecia for help, and isn't this just an opportunity?"
"Take him to see what our world is like, and there are a lot of things going on recently. How about if he understands it earlier and can become a usable action force earlier?"
Selin fell silent, wondering whether he was thinking about Ondu's words or something else.
"Newborn birds will eventually fly to the sky on their own." Angdu said this to someone he didn't know.
Selin raised his head, looked at Andou, then looked at Gary and Betro respectively, and everyone nodded slightly to him.
"I don't have a problem with it," Gary said, "even as a nanny."
With everyone's acquiescence, Selin finally sighed.
"That's it, let's start taking action." Selin announced and left Su Ge with a side face, "Don't cause any trouble."
