Chapter 1384 Blood Moon (Twenty-three)
"Mr. Ronan, this is your letter."
In the lower town of Rand City, when Ronan came to the downstairs of his rented apartment again, the gatekeeper, Old Jack, respectfully handed him a letter sealed with wax.
This white-haired old man witnessed Ronan's transformation from an ordinary reserve police officer to a respected police officer.
In just two months!
"Thank you."
Ronan took the letter with some curiosity.
He came to the apartment today to process the termination of the lease. On the one hand, the lease period was about to expire, and on the other hand, Sea Cliff Villa was already open for occupancy.
I didn't expect that someone would send me a letter.
Ronan opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it, only then did he realize that the letter was from home.
Or more precisely, his former home.
Raymond Estates in the Country!
Ronan was informed by his family that his sister Jenny Raymond would be engaged in three days and they hoped that he could attend the engagement ceremony.
There is also a very important matter that Ronan needs to discuss when he returns home!
Although the letter was finally signed by Ronan's cheap father, Baron Malcolm Raymond.
But he knew at first glance that it was the butler's work.
And even though the letter contained words like "hope", "please", and "negotiate", the condescending and bossy tone between the lines was lingering.
This made Ronan's past memories instantly emerge in his mind.
Interestingly, there were actually 5 silver dollars enclosed in this letter.
According to his memory, Ronan tasted the taste of pity.
After thinking about it, he calmly put away the "family letter".
If it were any other descender, they would most likely ignore this letter. After all, their original bodies had already left the Raymond family and were abandoned.
Now that the relationship has been severed, why bother to get closer?
But Ronan thought differently.
He could feel the extremely complex emotions that the original body had towards his family and his biological father Malcolm Raymond.
It was an emotion mixed with awe, admiration, resentment and humiliation.
Such emotions were deeply engraved in the original body's soul, so much so that even Ronan today cannot completely eliminate them.
Therefore, he decided to go back and completely end this cause and effect!
After completing the procedures for canceling the lease, Ronan went to the third police station and asked for leave from Deputy Sheriff Sean.
Sean readily gave Ronan a week's vacation.
Because the Night's Watch had launched a sweeping operation in the sewers of Rand City some time ago, a large number of underworld members had been cleared out, including many spies infiltrated by the Blackbeard pirates.
The underground forces in the entire Rand City suffered a very severe blow.
Therefore, the security environment in the downtown area became very good during this period. Although it did not reach the point where people could leave their doors unlocked at night and no one would steal anything on the streets, the serious crime rate dropped significantly, and the few detectives in the police station were rarely dispatched.
It really doesn't matter if Ronan is missing.
In addition, Sean also wants to make friends with Ronan, a promising young detective, and asks if a week's vacation is enough.
If it’s not enough, you can give a few more days.
Ronan, of course, said enough was enough and expressed his gratitude to the deputy sheriff.
The next morning, he boarded a train to Raymond Manor.
Raymond Manor is located in the remote suburbs of Rand City, about 50 kilometers away from the main urban area. In addition, due to the limitations of the road environment, riding a bicycle back is obviously not a smart choice.
There is a railway between Rand City and Sinjorge City, and Frye Town, a stop on the way, is only a few miles away from Raymond Manor.
Ronan originally took a train from Flytown and came to Rand City alone to study and make a living.
Although the journey was not long, Ronan did not compromise himself. He spent 3 silver dollars to buy a first-class ticket.
The trains in this world are still in the development stage of the steam age. The railway lines of the Kingdom of Invia mainly connect several large cities. There are quite a few stations along the way, so the speed is not fast due to the frequent starts and stops.
The 50-kilometer journey from Land City to Frye Town takes more than two hours.
But it is also faster and more convenient than riding a horse.
As for cars, they were still a luxury item for aristocrats in that era.
The first-class carriage was at the very end of the train. When Ronan got on board, there were only a few passengers inside.
The decoration and seats in the carriage are luxurious, fully worth the ticket price. It is equipped with a bar and beautiful female stewards, and provides non-free drinks and meals.
After Ronan sat down, he asked the flight attendant for a glass of champagne.
It cost him another two silver dollars.
As the departure time approached, more and more passengers appeared in the first-class carriage.
These passengers, both men and women, were all well-dressed and were basically aristocrats, businessmen, and high-ranking professionals such as lawyers and doctors.
A girl wearing a floral hood and a plain white dress sat down opposite Ronan.
She brought a large leather suitcase with her and wanted the flight attendant to help her put it on the luggage rack above her seat. However, several flight attendants were busy dealing with other passengers and did not hear the lady's call.
As a young police officer, Ronan showed his gentlemanly manners at the right time: "Let me help you."
As he spoke, he picked up the suitcase and stuffed it into the luggage rack.
The girl in the white dress raised her head and smiled shyly but with gratitude: "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
Ronan sat down again and asked casually, "Are you going to Sinjorge?"
The city of Sinjozhi is a large city in the inland of the Kingdom of Invia, about four or five hundred kilometers away from the city of Rand.
The girl in the white dress shook her head: "I'm in Frye Town."
"That's a coincidence."
Ronan smiled and said, "I'm going to Flytown too."
The girl in the white dress raised her hood and stretched out her hand to him: "My name is Audrey Norton, nice to meet you."
Ronan shook her hand: "Ronan, Ronan Raymond."
It was only then that Ronan noticed that this young lady had a pure and beautiful face, skin as white as snow, a beautiful nose, and starry eyes. Her looks were much better than Selena, the policewoman from the third police station.
It is a bit surprising that such a beautiful girl is traveling alone on the train.
However, Ronan could feel the power hidden beneath Miss Norton's beautiful appearance - extraordinary power!
The other party is an extraordinary person.
The journey of more than two hours was neither long nor short. During the journey, Ronan had a pleasant conversation with Audrey Norton. When they arrived in Flytown, they even exchanged contact addresses.
Ronan keenly noticed that when the lady saw his handwritten address, her eyes changed obviously!
