Louis Family seemed to be in a hurry, so the transaction was scheduled for the next day.

As for the location of the transaction, it was placed in a remote corner of the wealthy district, Horst Sixth District on the edge. There is a group of vacant apartments for sale at the east end of it, among which a small apartment belongs to the Louis Family.

There are few people here. A curved upward road leads along the guardrail to Fengdeng Cemetery on the top of the mountain. If you cross the guardrail, you will enter the landscape plant area. Its function is to prevent someone from slipping and falling, because the mountainside is a 90-degree cliff, and you can even overlook the Fengdeng Lake and Fengdeng Lake piers below.

Horst Sixth Avenue, in apartment No. 39.

A young man with short brown hair, a thin face, and a blue plaid suit was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a cigarette in his hand, looking impatient.

Behind the sofa where he was sitting, there were four tall and strong men standing. Each of these strong men wore leather jackets and leather berets, and they had a fierce temperament.

"What time is it?" The man asked casually without looking up even though he was wearing a gold watch.

"Master Kurt, it's ten minutes to eleven in the morning."

A strong man glanced at the clock on the wall, bowed his head respectfully, and whispered to the young man on the sofa.

"Damn bitch, we made an appointment at eleven o'clock, and we haven't come yet!"

Kurt·Louis cursed.

He took a drag of his cigarette and was silent for a moment.

After the death of the Oak Gang boss Lucas, Kurt and the other four brothers and sisters of the family pooled their money and hired detective Granny to track down the boy named Gilan·Iros, intending to take back the film and make up for the mistakes they made.

As a result, no one was caught, nothing was recovered, and the detective died.

A whole 250 Gold Caesar was wasted.

Several of their direct family members were very angry and could not swallow their anger.

As expected, the father was very angry when he learned about this. He slapped each of them hard on the spot and cut off several people's living expenses.

Kurt rubbed his face, and he still felt a dull pain. Echo Hearing his father's words of "trash" in his ears made his self-esteem quite frustrated, and strong shame, anger and unwillingness kept emerging in his heart.

Kurt blamed all of this on the useless detective and the culprit who caused all this, the low-level bastard named Gilan.

Fortunately, Kurt recently learned the news from his brother Pa. In a few days, his father will receive a distinguished guest from the capital "Muse City". It is said that the guest has a profound background, and even his father must lower his profile and treat him with caution.

The distinguished guest seemed to be keen on watches, especially collectible pocket watches.

This gives Kurt an excellent opportunity to restore his father's impression. If he can get a good pocket watch and present it to his father, his father will surely be happy.

After a subsequent investigation, Kurt targeted Fuz Lowry, who happened to have a famous watch in his hand... The most important thing was that Fuz was just a factory owner with a small fortune, which was easy to handle.

"I heard that Fuz Laurie's daughter is very beautiful, and she is a graduate of 'Fengdeng Noblewomen's Academy'."

Kurt's eyelids were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were mocking.

"A businessman wants to train his daughter to be a noble lady. Haha, how ridiculous... A humble bloodline is a humble one, and nothing can change it."

As he spoke, the evil spirit in his heart could not escape, and cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"After that bitch hands over her things, help me hold her down..."

The several strong men behind the sofa looked at each other and immediately understood what Master Kurt meant, so they nodded.

Kurt finished smoking the cigarette, put it out in the ashtray, and sneered:

"When I'm done, you can also have some fun. Remember to take pictures. That old guy Fuz Laurie doesn't dare to tell anyone... Well, it's useless to tell him. A small businessman doesn't dare to offend Louis Family."

"Okay, Master Kurt."

When several strong men heard the man's words, they couldn't help but start to move in their hearts.

With their status, they have never been qualified to approach a noble lady, but now they have the opportunity to kiss and kiss her. Even though the daughter of the Laurie family is not a real noble lady, she is not comparable to those "window sill girls" in the slums.

Just as several people were thinking about it, the sound of wheel hubs and ringing bells came from outside the house.

jingle bell...

"It's finally here." Kurt smiled and gestured. "Go, open the door and let the bitch come in."

A strong man nodded in agreement and quickly walked to the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a young lady wearing a long white and green dress and a lace headband was standing in front of the door, as if she was raising her hand to knock on the door.

The other party's facial features are exquisite, and a few strands of blond hair fall randomly from the edge of the skirt, adding a sense of youthfulness and beauty.

The strong man could not help but feel his heart beat faster when he looked at the beautiful woman who came alone in front of him.

"Come in, beautiful lady." He grinned and stepped aside.

"Hmm."

Miss Sparrow squeezed out a smile, nodded, and immediately entered the room.

There was a click and the door closed tightly.

Immediately, the strong man wearing a leather beret quietly locked the door, pulled up the door chain, and bolted it.

"Miss Aurora, where are the things?"

Kurt saw the young woman coming in and asked directly without talking nonsense.

Miss Sparrow sat on the sofa opposite Kurt, took off the shoulder bag, and said stiffly:

"Here..."

She opened the zipper of her satchel and took out a round pocket watch half the size of a palm.

The whole thing is silver, and the surface is carved with fine and delicate patterns in gold. If you look closely, you will find that it is a picture of the sun rising at noon and shining brightly, which commemorates the birth of "Noon Dawn" Omer.

Hence the name "Christmas Pocket Watch Fisher".

Kurt saw the antique pocket watch in her hand, her eyes lit up, she quickly reached out and said:

"Give it to me."

As he spoke, he added perfunctorily:

"Don't worry, I only want this watch. Your father and his factory will be fine. I, Louis Family, am still very honest."

"I believe in the integrity of your family."

Miss Sparrow bit his lip, hesitated, and then handed the pocket watch to Kurt's hand.

Kurt looked happy when he got the pocket watch.

He quickly pressed the knob switch on the upper edge and heard a click. The pocket watch cover popped open on its own, revealing the complex and exquisite dial inside. The twelve hours were inlaid with fine diamonds in cursive characters, and each was equipped with a symbolic symbol.

Kurt knows that those symbols represent the twelve supreme Hour-God. They are the world's beliefs and the gods who live outside the world.

However, both the minute and hour hands stopped, and the second hand would only jump in place and make a clicking sound.

The pocket watch has long been broken.

"Why is it bad?!"

Kurt was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

He stood up and asked Miss Sparrow pretending to be angry.

"It has been broken for many years..." Miss Sparrow seemed a little scared and shrank back. "Dad found many watchmakers but couldn't fix it."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Kurt's inner desire was out of control. He sneered and was about to pounce on her.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Boom, boom, boom!

Kurt and the four strong men were all shocked and turned to stare at the door.

"Who?!" Kurt shouted angrily.

"Hahaha..." There was a faint burst of laughter from outside the house. "I just knocked on the door casually, but I didn't expect there was anyone inside. Those who can live here must be rich people, right?"
