Clown

Klein evaluated his physical condition and felt his aching sore muscles. Thus, he acted as though nothing had happened and continued walking towards the door.

Well, we have to follow what our heart tells us! Safety matters!

He has gun of suicide. And he get some bullets fron old Quinn. The cheser will be a clown at most sequence 8. After passing through a few streets, Klein arrived at the a narrow path. That clown also increased his speed and took that narrow path.

Klein didn't shoot him because he know about clown ability and know he will dodge the bullet. He stand their without any expression when clown see him he first feel Klein attack him but Klein was standing there expressionless. Clown check Klein but he didn't react so he took out pendulum for divination. He wrote a statement if something happened to Klein. Just when he closed his eyes he heard four shots and felt pain from his legs and arms. He fall and try to stand no avail.

Klein who come up with a long rope bind his hand and leg separately said "don't believe on divination blindly. Fate only give surprise every time."

"If I killed him here I don't know what would happened. If captain and others believe me or not." Klein thought.

Klein took a clothe and put into clowns mouth so if he have any intention of suicide he can't. Klein send a passersby to Nighthawk station and he checked his pockets and hidden pockets he get some cards and 85 pounds money.

He took all pounds and leave only pence. "If fate gives you something don't be shy." Klein lampooned.

After 10 minutes captain and Leonard come and when they seen that clown there first reaction was surprise then they understood it was inevitable those people seeking Klein who wanted antigonus notebook.

"It seems like your fate is tied to Beyonders and evil forces. In just a day. you have come across more supernatural incident.Leonard joked, looking at the corpse on the ground.

"It might not be a coincidence," Klein added, as he suddenly thought about the quill.

Dunn surveyed the surroundings and, with his gray eyes trained on Klein, "You don't look well. Are you alright?" asked in concern.

There was no need for you to take the risk. As long as you confirm the target and that he hasn't left Tingen, there would always be a way to find him," Dunn added as he tried to pull the clown in dream for interrogation.

Klein immediately said in embarrassment, we don't know what would they do or they leave Tingen. Dunn nodded, his gaze leaving the clown.

After Klein answered all his questions, he saw the fatigue in Klein's eyes and waved his cane.

"Not bad. But in future don't take risk.

You can go back and rest. Kenley, bring Old Neil over."

After giving out instructions, Dunn smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He lumbered into the house, he then removed his hat and jacket before falling asleep on the sofa.

Sometime later, he woke up abruptly, took out his pocket watch, and snapped it open and see a short-haired man nearing his thirties and wearing a linen shirt seated at a desk .

His heart tensed up before relaxing immediately . Klein greeted with a smile, "Good morning—no—good afternoon, Benson . "

This man was none other than Klein's and Melissa's elder brother, Benson Moretti . He was only twenty-five this year, but his receding hairline and decrepit appearance made him look nearly thirty .

He had black hair and brown eyes, resembling Klein somewhat, but he lacked the faint scholarly air which Klein had .

"Good afternoon, Klein . How was the interview?" Benson stood up as he grinned .

His black coat and halved top hat were hanging on a protrusion of their bunk bed .

"Horrible," Klein replied in a deadpan manner .

When he saw Benson stunned, Klein chuckled and added, "In fact, I didn't even participate in the interview . I found a job ahead of the interview and it pays three pounds a week . . . "

He repeated what he told Melissa again .

Benson's expression calmed down as he shook his head with a laugh . "It feels like I'm seeing a child grow up . . . Well, this job is pretty good . " He sighed and said, "It's great that the first thing I heard is such good news after being away for work . Let's celebrate tonight and buy some beef?"

Klein smiled . "Sure, but I believe Melissa will feel the pinch . Let's buy some ingredients later in the afternoon? Let's bring at least three soli? Well, to be honest, a pound exchanges for twenty soli, and one soli exchanges for twelve pence . There are even denominations like the halfpence and quarterpence . Such a coin system just goes against logic . It's so troublesome . I think it must be one of the most foolish coin systems in the world . "

Benson lifted the corners of his lips and said in all seriousness, "You should understand that to institute a reasonable and simple coin system, one needs to know how to count and grasp the decimal system . Unfortunately, there are too few talents among those important figures . "

It's simply sharp and incisive . . . Klein burst out in laughter . Using the rich experience he had from his previous incarnation, he added another insult . "In fact, there is no evidence to suggest that those important figures have any brains at all . "

"Good! Very good!" Benson roared with laughter as he gave a thumbs up . "Klein, you are a lot more humorous than before . "

After taking a breath, he continued, "I have to go to the pier in the afternoon . I'm only off work tomorrow . After that I'll have time . . . to go to Tingen City Housing Improvement Company with the both of you . Let's see if they have cheap and good terrace houses for rent . Also, I need to pay Mr . Franky a visit . "

"Our landlord?" the perplexed Klein asked . Does our current landlord have some terrace houses from pretty good districts under his name?

Benson shot his brother a glance and said, amused, "Have you forgotten the one-year rental contract we have with him? It has only been six months . "

"Hiss . . . " Klein immediately drew a gasp of cold air .

He had really forgotten the matter!

Although rent was paid once a week, the lease was a year long . If they were to move now, it was equivalent to a breach in contract . If they were taken to court, they would have to compensate large sums of money!

"You are still lacking in societal experience . " Benson touched his receding black hairline and said wistfully, "This was a clause I fought so hard back then . If not, Mr . Franky was only willing to lease it to us for three months each contract . To those with money, landlords would sign leases for a year, two years, or even three years to seek stable income . But for us—the past us—and our neighbors, landlords would have to be constantly worried that something bad might happen, depriving them of their rent . Therefore, they would only sign short-term contracts .

Klein was addicted of renting room his past life.

Alright, you don't have to worry . The issue with the contract can be easily resolved . To be frank, even if we owe him a week's rent, Mr . Franky would have immediately thrown us out and confiscated whatever valuable items we have . After all, his intelligence is below that of a monkey's . There's no way he can comprehend overly complicated matters . "

Upon hearing this, Klein suddenly recalled a particular Sir Humphrey's meme . He shook his head and said seriously, "No, Benson . You are wrong . "

"Why?" Benson was puzzled .

"Mr . Franky's intelligence is still slightly higher than a monkey's," Klein replied in all seriousness . Just as Benson seemed to smile in response, he added, "If he is on form . "

"Haha . " Benson lost it and burst out in laughter .

After a series of rapturous laughter, he pointed at Klein, momentarily unable to put his thoughts in words . Only then, he returned to the topic at hand .

"Of course, as a gentleman, we cannot employ such shameless tactics . I will discuss this with Mr . Franky tomorrow . Believe me, he's easily convinced, easily . "

Klein had no doubts regarding Benson's point . The existence of the gas pipes was excellent proof .

Klein getting ready for meal.
