They all call me master

While muttering to himself, Maltz's eyes became fierce as he stared at the corpse.

Suppose Cotton comes back, for what purpose?

revenge!

When the dead return, they only call for revenge.

But in front of me, it was obviously not a call.

That……

All that's left is revenge!

Is Cotton's death related to the bookstore owner in front of him?

Are the deaths of his remaining 118 comrades related to the other party?

This time, Maltz didn't hesitate.

He turned around and walked out of the bookstore, and was about to go to No. 2 Kirk Street, but before the old police chief could walk out of the side alley, a patrolman hurried over.

“Sheriff! Sheriff!

Bugle report, something happened! "

Maltz was startled by the patrolman's words.

Almost subconsciously, the old police chief thought of his friend and prostitute Scott, and immediately asked——

"What happened?

Is Scott okay? "

…

The hangover made Scott's temples swell, especially the soreness in his lower back, which made it impossible for the young man who had just been promoted to editor-in-chief of the Bugle to sit at his desk and work safely.

Fortunately, due to repeated reports on his friend Arthur's affairs, the situation of the Bugle improved greatly. Not only was he promoted to editor-in-chief, but he also had an independent office where he could rest in a more comfortable position. No need to huddle in the lobby with all the editors.

This office is not the original editor's office, but a separate office.

As for the original editor’s office?

It is still used by the editor-in-chief.

This editor-in-chief has been working diligently at the Bugle for forty years, and he has worked there almost as long as the Bugle.

Such an editor will not be fired.

No one else would ever allow this to happen.

Not only because of the integrity of this editor-in-chief, but also because this upright editor-in-chief has been fired, will it be their turn?

Boom, boom!

Scott immediately sat up straight amid the rhythmic knocking on the door.

"Please come in!"

With the sound of words, the office door was pushed open.

When he saw the old man outside the door, Scott immediately stood up and said in a respectful tone.

"Editor-in-Chief Commons!"

Commons, the editor-in-chief who was as big as the Bugle.

The editor-in-chief, who is over sixty years old, has long gray hair and a stooped figure. However, he is still in good spirits and can walk fairly smoothly with the support of a cane.

"Editor-in-Chief Scott!"

Facing Scott's respect, the old editor also gave corresponding respect.

Scott was also helpless about this.

Although he repeatedly stated that there was no need for this and that he was just a junior, the old editor-in-chief persisted.

In fact, the old editor-in-chief has maintained a strict style for many years.

"I would like to treat everyone at the newspaper to a meal - as a parting ceremony."

"Farewell ceremony?

Didn’t the editor-in-chief say that you don’t need to worry about that, the Bugle will take care of you in your retirement!

Or is it because of me? "

Scott was stunned and looked at the old editor in confusion.

When he was promoted to editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief said in public that he would provide for the old editor-in-chief in his retirement.

It is impossible to regret such words spoken in public.

The old editor looked at the anxious Scott and immediately waved his hand.

“It has nothing to do with the editor-in-chief. He was kind enough and didn’t abandon me even in the most difficult times!

It has nothing to do with you, you brought new energy to the Bugle, and you did a great job!

I chose to leave because I have reached the age of retirement, and I also have enough pension. I will choose a farm outside Nanlos to spend my remaining years!

If you want to see me, you can come anytime! "

The old editor said, showing a rare smile.

"Okay, I will definitely visit you often - then which restaurant should we go to eat?"

Looking at the old editor's smile, Scott nodded repeatedly and made a promise.

The young editor-in-chief will never forget that when he first joined the newspaper, it was the old editor-in-chief who led him step by step towards formality.

"Dining room?

I'm just a poor old man who's about to retire. Do you have the heart to go to a restaurant and let them exploit my pension?

I ordered food from ‘Mother-in-law’s Kitchen in Andorra’ and ate it at the newspaper office. "

The old editor-in-chief joked with Scott more and more rarely.

Then, the old editor bowed slightly and went to inform others in person.

The old editor-in-chief attaches great importance to the 'parting ceremony'.

Of course, the province is still a province.

However, the craftsmanship of Andorra's mother-in-law is still so reassuring.

The noon meal is a 'civilian's recipe' with beef and mutton as the main course - this is also a new term that emerged after the 'Seven Years' War'.

Along with it, there are ‘medium recipes’, ‘affordable recipes’ and so on.

Among them, ‘superior recipes’ and ‘medium recipes’ were only allowed to appear in festivals for a long time.

It's like a 'medium recipe' that includes offal and offal, and only needs to be eaten on Sunday.

The ‘Superior Recipe’ can only be used on the five festival days of ‘Harvest Festival’, ‘Winter Festival’, ‘Spring Seed Festival’, ‘Summer Celebration’ and ‘Peace Festival’.

Although as time passed, Nanlos became wealthy again at a speed far beyond imagination, but a meal of 'common people's best recipes' was still available.

What's more, it's an increased version——

Roast beef (four portions, 600g each), beef stew with potatoes (one pot, no less than 5000g), fried lamb chops (twelve portions, 120g each), mutton stir-fried with coriander (one pot, no less than 3000g), Haggis soup (one pot, no less than 5000g), baked apples in mutton fat (twelve), vegetable and egg salad (twelve servings, 200g each), white bread (5000g), some condiments (including butter, honey , black pepper 20g each).

Food for 12 people was delivered by two apprentices of Andorra's mother-in-law.

This does not include alcohol.

The wine was provided by the editor-in-chief.

But after just one drink, the old editor-in-chief's eyes were filled with sadness and his words gradually started to increase.

In the end, halfway through the meal, the old editor became completely drunk, so much so that Scott had to help him back to his office.

When he put the other party on the chair, Scott could see that the old editor wanted to say something, but in the end, the other party didn't say anything.

There was no chance to talk anymore.

After lunch, the newly hired trainee editor was assigned to take care of the old editor. But as soon as he opened the door, the new trainee female editor was so frightened that she fell to the ground——

"Ahhh!"

The screams attracted everyone to watch.

Seeing the old editor's throat cut, everyone except Scott was frightened.

"Call the police!"

Scott shouted.

Then, his eyes stared at a large gold coin on the ground, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

He was certain that there was no such big gold coin here before.

The old editor is also accustomed to using banknotes and has no habit of using gold coins.

‘Left by the murderer?

What's the meaning? ’

The young editor-in-chief was thinking when he suddenly saw a familiar boy running into the newspaper office.

The other person is a kid from Dal Lane who often runs errands for his friend Arthur.

Just as he was thinking about it, the little boy came to Scott and handed over a note.

At the same time, Wu Ni also grabbed a note and landed in front of Maltz.

Maltz and Scott opened the note almost at the same time.

Immediately, surprise flashed in their eyes.

Even though the two of them were prepared in their hearts, they still felt incredible.

Because, the note said -

Want to know what happened?

At 8 o'clock in the evening, come to No. 44, White Bird Street, and I will tell you everything in the salon!
