"Tom! Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Aldridge. He lives on the third floor. We are neighbors!"

Al first said enthusiastically to his good friend, but according to social etiquette, Al should first introduce Tom to Aldrich at this time.

Aldridge smiled nonchalantly, took off his hat, and nodded to Tom.

"Mr. Aldridge, this is my good friend Tom Hansen. We grew up together!"

"Hello, Tom."

"Oh, oh, hello, Mr. Aldridge..." Tom rubbed his hands on his trousers crampedly, looking a little nervous.

Aldridge accidentally noticed that Tom's hands were covered with calluses, especially the fingertips.

Al completed the great job of introducing friends. He felt more and more proud, and happily asked Aldridge to sit down. He didn't feel the complicated mood of his good friend Tom at the moment.

"I used to work as a helper in a restaurant! Although I was fired for breaking a plate, I still stole some skills from the restaurant's uncle chef, Mr. Aldrich, give it a try!"

Aldridge nodded, picked up an iron knife and fork, forked a piece of badly stewed beef, and chewed it in his mouth.

The taste is very simple, it is the taste of beef, and the seasoning should only be put in some salt. As for the spices? These things are definitely not cheap in this day and age.

"It tastes great!" Aldridge pretended to be surprised and said, his expression didn't change much, but it could make Al feel heartfelt joy.

White lies are necessary, not disrespectful, but the real feeling of Aldrich from the big foodie empire is indeed very ordinary. The king of Varna Empire is estimated to eat less than 15 yuan for takeout on Earth.

Of course, this is Aldridge's own conjecture.

"It suits your taste!" Al said happily.

Aldrich took a piece of brown bread and chatted casually with Al while eating. Tom sat by the side and ate silently, without taking the initiative to speak.

"I'm not going to be an apprentice or helper now. Tom has learned some tailoring skills. He makes teddy bears. All I have to do is sell them."

Aldridge swallowed a piece of food that tasted like a potato, feeling that his stomach was finally relieved from hunger, and said, "That's really good. Those little bears should be very popular with children."

"Yes! Tom said the same thing. He asked me to sell bears to those little girls. It was very effective." Al said excitedly, "I sold 10 of them yesterday. I earned 2 silver nars!"

Aldridge nodded knowingly. It seemed that today's beef meal was meant to be a celebration.

He turned his head to Tom and said, "Your hands are very clever, and the little bear is very beautiful."

Tom was startled by Aldridge's sudden call, and said awkwardly, "Thank you, Mr. Aldrich."

The meal ended with Al's enthusiasm and Tom's silence. Aldridge pretended to eat very little and only ate three or four pieces of beef. He didn't want to take advantage of Al and the others.

Fortunately, he is very thin, and his small appetite is convincing.

Aldridge also planned to visit Derek, so he said goodbye, and Al took the initiative to send him out of the house.

After closing the door, Aldridge was about to go downstairs. With his good hearing after stepping into the extraordinary, he heard Tom's small voice coming from the door:

"Al, you shouldn't have invited him as a guest! Well-dressed people like him don't look down on us mud legs, look at him, he only ate a little bit, and pretended how delicious you made it, Just as hypocritical as those big men!

I wanted to celebrate! We should celebrate too, we deserve it, but now it feels all ruined! "

"..."

I was just kind, Aldridge looked down at his neat and decent clothes, and sighed silently.

After that, Aldridge didn't listen to what he said. He returned to his residence, washed two red oranges, and took them to South Huodu.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for this visit to Derrick Rose.

A businessman who believes in the goddess Feiyue and Cangyue will never like someone who works for the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess.

But that's okay... Aldridge isn't an absolutely honest person.

The Southern District was too far away from where he lived, so Aldrich could only reluctantly rent a carriage for 35 copper nars, and it took nearly 40 minutes to arrive at 19 Shuangyue Street.

Aldrich got off the carriage, and after a brief observation, he found that this villa was much smaller than the other one, and even the garden was much smaller.

He walked to the black door and rang the doorbell.

After a while, a young man dressed as a servant walked out and asked unceremoniously, "Who are you?"

Aldridge replied, "I am a staff member of the Church of the Mother Earth, and I have something to visit with Mr. Derrick Rose."

"Church of the Mother Earth? Sir, don't you know where this place is?" The young man put on a disgusted face and mocked lightly.

"Of course, I even know that Mr. Ross is a believer of the Double Moon Goddess."

Aldridge was not interested in chatting with such unreasonable people, and continued bluntly: "I was recently investigating about another villa and found that it has something to do with Mr. Ross, and it has a deep influence... Hehe, if Ross Sir, it doesn't matter to me about this matter, then please pretend that I haven't been here today."

After Aldridge finished speaking, he saw that the young man was already frowning, guessing that this guy was also in the know.

"You wait here, I'll ask the master's opinion." After that, he turned around and walked into the villa.

Aldridge held up his hat and waited patiently.

After a while, Aldridge was invited in and saw Mr. Derrick Rose, who was as bloated as a ball.

"Good day, Mr. Ross, my name is Aldrich Alfred."

Derek leaned on the sofa, pointed to the leather sofa on the other side and said, "Sit down! I really don't know what's wrong with that **** villa!"

"What do you want to know?" After cursing for a while, he asked impatiently.

"I want to know what happened when you lived in that villa."

Derek snorted twice, as if his anger rose again: "What's the matter? Damn it! That villa must be cursed by the evil god!"

Aldridge endured this guy's foul-mouthed words, and roughly understood the situation:

For about a month, the villa has been in trouble. At first, dirty things like feces frequently appeared in the yard, and then blood words appeared on the walls of the yard. Those words had no meaning, but they looked very scary. Derek thought it was a prank, but never caught the culprit.

Until one day, UU reading www.uukanshu. com His pet dog died on the lawn, his entire body was put in an extremely twisted shape.

This made Derek unbearable, and he just wanted to sell the villa quickly, and the external price was only 70% of the purchase price.

Aldridge noticed a clear inconsistency in these words: the nature of these things was completely different from what happened to the Strellings!

"Fortunately, the Strellings bought the house, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Derek finally said happily.

Aldridge's heart was moved and he asked, "The Strellings don't know what happened in the villa?"

"Why don't you know? I can't hide this matter! I was puzzled when I sold it, and I found out after inquiring that it was a decision made by Mrs. Strelling. Sure enough, women are not reliable, they only like Greed for petty cheap, even the nobles are the same!"

Mrs Strelling? Mrs Strelling! Ah! Aldridge suddenly wanted to understand a lot of things.

He stood up eagerly, startling Derek.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ross."

Aldridge put on his hat and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Derek exclaimed.

Aldridge turned to look at him strangely.

"Oder, uh, this gentleman, do you think this matter will affect me? What kind of impact, serious?" This is what Derek cares about.

This guy can't even remember my name, Aldridge thought silently.

"As long as you don't spread the word about this, it's fine. We'll handle the rest." Aldridge finally said, then nodded his farewell.

When I was walking, I heard the guy behind me constantly muttering: "That's okay, that's okay, only fools go around talking about it!"
