Lumian looked at Jenna, curled his lips and said, "This is because you have not yet realized that you are 'Assassin', and have not realized that you have stepped into Mysticism World. Otherwise, in the past two months, you You can definitely use Franca to get in touch with some Occult Gathering and collect some useful items. Although it is definitely not as good as the bottle of Healing Potion I just had, it can at least allow you to do something without having to watch your mother's condition worsen."

Jenna did not respond in anger and swear words as usual. Instead, he remained silent for a few seconds and said "Yeah".

This made Lumian a little unable to accept it, so he had to "tsk tsk" and said, "Of course, you don't have much money, and you are still burdened with debts and tuition fees. Even if you really participate in Occult Gathering, you can't afford anything. This is more of an opportunity for you to earn money or items by accepting Commission."

At this time, Jenna's brother Julian had rushed over with one Doctor and two Nurse.

Then Doctor glanced at Elodie and said doubtfully, "I remember that she doesn't seem to need to be rescued..."

"You remember wrong." Lumian calmly interrupted Doctor's words.

Doctor had already treated many injured people. He was so busy that his memory was already confused. Hearing this, he felt that he must have recognized the wrong person, so he simply treated Elodie's remaining injuries and asked the porters to put her on the carriage and wait to be taken to the hospital.

Connecting Noel District and Market District is a bridge called Passi, which is one of the five bridges across the Serenzo River in the city of Trier.

Next to Paxi Bridge is Holy Palace Hospital, which was funded by "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church. As a believer of "Eternal Blazing Sun", Elodie was sent here and placed on the top floor of a white six-story building, crowded into the same ward with five other injured people.

Watching Doctor Nurse drawing blood, checking, or hanging infusion bottles, Jenna stood against the wall and sighed in a low voice:

"In recent years, the hospital Change has become very big..."

"Huh?" Lumian expressed confusion.

Jenna said with a slightly gloomy expression, "A few years ago, when my father and others were sent to the hospital, the more serious injuries were directly treated with Surgery, while the lighter ones were bandaged and given medication, and we waited to see the effect. No blood was drawn, and the examination was only done briefly. It is completely different from now. The whole process seems to have changed."

"This is a good thing." Lumian nodded.

It looks more professional.

While the two were communicating in low voices, Jenna's brother Julian had been busy cooperating with Doctor and Nurse. He sometimes answered questions about the injured's daily physical condition, sometimes helped move the IV stand, and sometimes was ordered to go to the pharmacy.

When the busy work of the people in white coats came to an end, he had not come back yet.

That One Doctor, who was in charge of Elodie, took the Recording board, walked up to Jenna, looked at her Rose colored dress, and her face softened a little.

"Elodie is your mother?" he asked.

"Yes." Jenna nodded.

The name Men Doctor considered it and said, "Your mother's condition is better than I expected. It seems that there is no need to do Surgery at the moment. Of course, this is only a preliminary assessment. The specific results will depend on the results of various examinations.

"This is a good thing. The bad thing is that your mother's body is seriously damaged and she may have to stay in the hospital for several months or even half a year or a year. Even if she recovers, she will not be able to return to her previous condition and will be in a relatively weak state.

"The first-aid expenses for the first two days will be paid by Church's charitable foundation in advance, and will be deducted after Factory's accident compensation. You will need to bear the subsequent treatment costs yourself. This is not a small sum, and you should not expect too much from the accident compensation. According to my experience, it takes an average of three to five years to get it. You must know that in order to protect business, our Intis laws are biased towards Factory owners and Banker."

Jenna did not hesitate:

"I will let my mother receive treatment until she is cured."

She has already thought about it. If she wants to take out a large sum of Cash at once, she will borrow it from Franca and Lumian, and then repay it in installments. If the treatment expenses are paid monthly or weekly, then she can save money, reduce the amount of repayment of the original debt, and cover it with the income from part-time job Underground Singer.

No matter which method she used, she couldn't do Underground Singer for only one year as she had previously expected. It might take two or even three years.

The Doctor looked at Jenna's appearance and her little dress, and said no more:

"Then take this slip and go to the financial window on the first floor to prepay 200 Felkine."

200...Jenna breathed a sigh of relief, signed the notice with his real name "Celia·Bello", took the order and went down the stairs.

On the way, she glanced at Lumian who was following her, hesitated and said, "If, if I need to pay a large amount of medical expenses in the future, I think I would like to borrow some from you."

Jenna has always been a stubborn person with her own principles. When she worked for Market District and several Dance Hall companies and worked hard to make money, she never thought of borrowing from Franca or asking her to help arrange a part-time job that was easy and profitable. But now, for the sake of her mother Elodie, she plans to let go of her persistence in this aspect.

Although Lumian has "squandered" only more than 700 Felkine left on him, and has advanced most of the income he can get from Breeze Ballroom, and is ready to hand over another 4000 Felkine in exchange for "Pyromaniac" Beyonder Characteristic, but at this time he was not embarrassed at all and said nonchalantly, "Okay."

Jenna glanced at him suspiciously:

"I thought you would hesitate for a while. I heard Franca say that you have something very important recently that requires a large sum of money Cash."

Lumian smiled:

"That's for promotion, I bought 'Pyromaniac' Main Ingredient, but that doesn't affect me lending you money. As a Beyonder, and as the leader of Savoie Gang, I can help you get enough money even if I don't have a single Kopek on me.

"The simplest way is to let René sign a long-term contract with you, advance you 10,000 Felkine, and then deduct 50% of your income from the Dance Hall every day to repay it in installments. When you finish paying it off, the contract will be terminated naturally."

Jenna was silent for a moment, and found that something that had made him so embarrassed and troubled that he had a headache was so easy and simple in Charles's mouth.

Lumian glanced sideways at her, smiled and said, "As a 'Assassin', you shouldn't have to worry about such medical expenses. If you want to be promoted in the future, the money you need can be measured in tens of thousands."

"You have to change your thinking now and stop taking the law too seriously. You just heard it. Intis's laws do not protect the poor. We can only protect ourselves.

"When you think about it clearly, we will kidnap the previous Factory owner and steal enough Cash. When Verdict comes out and he pays your father's accident compensation, you can donate the money to those in need.

"As long as we do it cleanly, and add Franca's Anti-Divination, the probability of success is very high, and we won't be found out afterwards. It's unlikely that a Factory owner will have a Beyonder bodyguard."

Jenna was so moved by what he said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I always feel that something is wrong..."

"Fuck, are you 'Instigator' or am I going to be 'Instigator'? How can you be such a Temptation person?

"If you violate the law wantonly, you will pay the price sooner or later, right?"

Lumian smiled and said, "I haven't finished what I said just now. We only do what is necessary and cannot act recklessly. That will not only bring danger, but may also increase Loss of Control's risk. Kidnapping the Factory master is to get back the compensation that your family should have received long ago."

Jenna was silent again.

Seeing that she was about to reach the first floor, she quickly said, "I'm going to get off Washroom."

When she came out of Washroom, she already had a stack of Banknotes worth 200 Felkine in her hand.

Watching Jenna pay the first treatment fee in advance, Lumian looked at her Rose colored dress and said, "You can't take care of Patient like this. I'll go back to the Dance Hall to help you bring your previous clothes, and I'll ask you for a leave by the way."

"If your mother's condition gets worse, come to me or Franca immediately."

He had just observed Elodie's Fortune and confirmed that her condition was no longer critical, but it had not yet changed in a better direction. It was a bit Chaos, and it might depend on the effectiveness of the hospital's treatment.

"Yeah." Jenna pursed his lips and nodded.

Breeze Ballroom Second floor.

Lumian was about to go to the manager René to tell him about Jenna and ask him to rearrange tonight's Singing, when he saw Louis coming over.

Louis glanced around and said in a lowered voice, "Boss, about half an hour ago, Boss sent someone to deliver a bag of stuff and put it in the financial safe, saying it was for you."

What Boss sent..."Pyromaniac"Potion's Auxiliary Ingredient? As expected of "Hunter"Pathway's Mid-Sequence...Lumian nodded lightly, walked through Café happily, and entered the corridor on the second floor.

As soon as he opened the financial safe, he felt a little hot.

There are three Glass Bottles in that Grayish-White Cloth Bag: one is filled with crimson blood, which is bubbling, and a little firelight pops out when each bubble bursts; one has Blood-Colored powder at the bottom, and the other contains a finger-sized stone that emits Crimson fluorescence.

Fire Salamander's blood, Red-Crowned Impatiens's powder, Magma Pyroxene... it turned out to be "Pyromaniac"'s Auxiliary Ingredient... Lumian picked up those items with satisfaction.

Except No. 3 White Coat Street, Apartment 601.

Lumian, who left Breeze Ballroom, came here directly to find Franca, intending to borrow 4000 Felkine and use the share of "Harvest Sacrifice" as collateral.

After opening the door and seeing Lumian, Franca let out a "tsk" sound and said, "Did you know? An explosion occurred at Factory south of Market District. During this period, many things happened to Market District, which gave me a feeling that Torrential Rain is about to come."

Hearing this sentence, Lumian instantly remembered something.

He said in a deep voice, "It was Goodwell Chemical Factory who had an accident, and this morning, Boss of Goodwell Chemical Factory went to Parliament Parliamentarian’s Office."
