Chapter 6: The Church Earthquake (Part 2)(2/2)
The drying line in the distance was covered with white cloth, and some women raised their heads numbly.
The face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which was not cosmetics but the color of the fabric.
They cast their eyes on the passing carriage, and when they saw the exquisite Miss Josie in the carriage, the eyes of these women could not detect yearning, but also a deep sense of inferiority.
Shar held the crutch in his hand nervously. He had already noticed the unkind looks cast by the men in the shadows.
As for the housekeeper, he clutched the money bag around his waist tightly.
Only Xu Tong's clear eyes were silently commenting on the slum in front of him, and he was already thinking about another thing in his heart: how to harvest the incense and merit of these poor people in his own way under the nose of the church.
After all, in order to deal with the Nine Evil Ghost King last time, the incense merit has been almost exhausted.
But this also allowed him to discover a new use for the merits of incense, smashing the gods!
It took the carriage half an hour to get out of this slum.
The faces of Shar and the housekeeper were covered with sweat. They breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that a mob would rush out.
Miss Josie tried her best to calm herself down, but everything she witnessed seemed to have a great impact on her.
The only one with a normal state of mind was the driver who was humming a tune.
"Stop and take a rest."
Xu Tong saw the cafe in the distance and signaled the driver to stop.
Shar and the housekeeper also thought this was a good idea. Although this area is far away from the city center, the scenery is still quite good.
Close to the sea, you can see the largest port in Amantes.
I jumped off the carriage and felt the sea breeze blowing in my face.
The four of them came outside the coffee shop, admiring the scenery in front of them and leaving behind the sense of depression they had just felt in the slums.
"Please forgive my wording. With such a noble status, you will never be able to easily step into a place like that again. It is really too dangerous today."
The housekeeper said seriously to Xu Tong.
Even Char on the side surprisingly didn't refute.
Because it was really too dangerous, he even noticed the scary eyes of some men looking back and forth at Miss Qiao Qie.
I can't imagine what a terrible scene it would be if someone really took the lead and rushed out.
The thought of beautiful Miss Josie being dragged into a dark alley by those dirty pariahs...
Sal didn't dare to think about it any further.
Josie didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so she shut up the housekeeper, then stood up and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Josie stood up and left.
The butler knew that he was talking too much, so he looked at the coffee shop on the side: "The taste of this coffee shop should be quite good, Master Kevin, do you want to try it?"
Xu Tong nodded: "Put more sugar."
After the butler expressed his understanding, he stood up and walked into the coffee shop.
When the housekeeper and Qiao Qian left, Xu Tongcai looked at Shar: "What about you, do you have anything you want to talk to me about alone, such as about my relationship with the church?"
Shar has served the Corleone family for 40 years, and there are few secrets that the family deliberately hides from him.
After Kevin's father was shot dead on the street, it was the old housekeeper who took care of Kevin meticulously that allowed Kevin to survive until now.
Therefore, if there is any flaw in my identity, it must be with this old housekeeper.
Sha'er heard Xu Tong's inquiry, thought for a moment, and shook his head. He didn't even have the slightest doubt about Xu Tong.
Just when Xu Tong wanted to inquire further.
Josie had already walked back and saw that the housekeeper was not there. After looking around, she asked: "Where is Angus??"
Angus was the butler's name. Shar pointed to the coffee shop nearby, indicating that the butler had gone in to buy coffee.
Qiao Qian nodded when she heard this and didn't care. But as time went by, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Qian finally couldn't sit still.
"I'll go take a look."
I saw Qiao Xi talking and walking to the cafe. However, when she got closer, she noticed that there was already a thin layer of dust on the door of the cafe.
This gave Josie a sudden bad feeling in her heart.
"Angus!"
Josie stood outside the door and called out, but there was no response from inside. Josie bit her lip and slowly stretched out her hand, but just when she was about to try to push the door open.
The closed door suddenly opened, and Angus, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, stood in front of Josie with a smile.
"Huh... Angus, you old guy, are you trying to scare me into having a heart attack?"
Josie cursed loudly and took the coffee from Angus' hand. Angus explained with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Miss, there are too many people in the cafe."
Hearing this, Josie was startled and looked back at the cafe behind Angus suspiciously: "Are you sure there is really someone inside?"
"Of course, it's a shame that there are so many people in such a remote cafe."
As Angus spoke, he didn't forget to look back, but when he saw it, Angus was stunned... The originally bustling coffee shop actually became empty all of a sudden.
