Chapter 309 Klein: Should I start to struggle?

Dongdong.

In the evening, Klein, who had been busy in the kitchen for twenty minutes wearing an apron, had just finished cooking a pot of beef stew with potatoes when he heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

He put down the fork he was using to taste the beef, put the lid back on, and leaned out half of his body to look in the direction of the door.

At this time, it was indeed time for Benson and Melissa to return, but they all had keys with them, so they could just open the door when they got home, without knocking.

Could it be that Benson was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring his keys?

Klein thought for a few seconds, wiped his hands on the hem of his light blue apron that was stained with a little oil, and then walked out of the kitchen and came to the door.

Just in case, he first cautiously asked the identity of the person knocking on the door.

"I am Greyste, and I worked with you and Leonard in Tingen to deal with the Ince Zangwill incident."

The man at the door spoke in a familiar voice. Klein relaxed his guard a little and opened the door a little. When he saw that only Greyste was standing outside.

Klein opened the door completely and said with a smile: "Mr. Greyste, why did you suddenly come to visit me?"

"Mr. Klein, we meet again." Greyste said again: "I am sorry to bother you by visiting me this time."

"Please come in first. Would you like tea or coffee?" Klein stepped aside and invited Greyste in.

"A cup of ordinary tea will do. I am always on the road and don't care too much about this."

Greyste walked into the house and sat on the sofa. Seeing that Klein was still wearing an apron and smelling the faint smell of food from the kitchen, he chuckled and said, "It seems that I came at the right time."

"I am sorry to make you laugh. I got off work early today and cooked something at home. It is just an ordinary home-cooked meal."

As Klein said this, he made a cup of tea for Greyste and himself, then took off his apron and brought the teacup over.

The two chatted for a few words while drinking tea, and Greyste explained the purpose of coming here today.

He wanted to invite Klein to go with him to Southwell County to deal with the matter of Punin Port.

In this matter, Archbishop Anthony allowed him to pick a few people to assist him, and the first person he thought of was Klein.

"Why did you choose to invite me to Southwell County?"

Klein's eyes showed a puzzled look. After coming to Backlund, he had no contact with Mr. Greyste, and their private friendship was also quite ordinary.

Greyste looked at him and explained the reason: "Because this matter is related to Ince Zangwill, and you have had contact with him before."

At this point, he smiled and said: "Of course, this is not the main reason why I chose you. The real reason is that I think you have a kind of good luck, and this kind of good luck is what I lack."

Klein also laughed and said: "Such a statement is too unreal."

"No, no, it's not unreal at all. When it comes to extraordinary things, some people are easily blessed by good luck. The specific manifestation is that they can often turn dangerous situations into safety. You have fully proved this in the 008 incident." Greyste explained very patiently.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Mr. Grayste saw something special about him.

He thought for a while and asked, "Since this matter is official business, why don't you recruit directly, but visit privately?"

Grayste said sincerely, "I just want to give you a chance to choose freely. If it is a public recruitment, it is indeed more time-saving and labor-saving, but you don't seem to want to leave Backlund, so I chose to visit privately."

Klein was silent for a while, raised his head slightly and asked curiously, "How do you know that I don't want to leave Backlund?"

"From your daily life, you go home to accompany your family after work every day, and you don't show your personality of liking to go out and be lively on weekdays. Based on these, I made the inference that you don't want to leave Backlund."

Seeing that Klein's face was a little unnatural, Grayste added, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't follow you privately, nor did I find a private detective to investigate you. I just learned a lot about you from your colleagues."

Klein's face eased a little, but he didn't immediately respond to Grayste's invitation. The scene fell silent for a while.

Click.

It was the sound of the key turning in the lock.

Before the door was fully opened, Benson's slightly exaggerated voice was heard.

"Klein, are you preparing anything delicious tonight? I just smelled the aroma of beef stew in the corridor."

Benson walked in and changed his shoes that were stained with a lot of mud. When he looked up, he saw that there were guests in the house today.

He was stunned for a moment and looked at Klein.

"Benson, this is Mr. Greyste, who helped me in Tingen and is also my colleague. He has been working in Backlund."

Klein briefly introduced him. Greyste gave Benson a kind smile, then stood up and looked at Klein again, "I will leave Backlund at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you can think about it carefully."

After Greyste left, Benson frowned and said, "Klein, are you leaving Backlund?"

Klein shook his head, "I haven't decided whether to go on a business trip. Mr. Greyste also allows me to make my own choice."

"Business trip..." Benson hesitated, then looked towards the kitchen and smiled, "Let me taste the fruits of your labor tonight first."

"Potatoes stewed with beef brisket, I am very confident about this dish."

Klein smiled and followed Benson into the kitchen.

About ten minutes later, Melissa also came back from school and caught Klein and Benson in the kitchen stealing several pieces of beef brisket and potatoes in the name of tasting.

At night, Klein lay on his bed alone.

He was thinking about what Mr. Greysteed said today. Even Mr. Greysteed, who didn't have much contact with him, could see that he liked comfort and didn't want to leave Backlund to venture out.

Is it really that obvious?

He went to work at 8:30 every day to handle work matters, and he could go home at 6 o'clock in the evening. He only needed to work overtime when there was an emergency or unexpected incident.

He could rest one day a week, and he tried to arrange his rest time on Sunday, so that he could take Benson and Melissa out to play and visit the beautiful Backlund.

Such a comfortable and relaxed life is like working from nine to five in the original world.

"Maybe I should really go out for a walk."

Klein had already made up his mind. After thinking for a while, he got up and went to the bathroom, and walked four steps backwards to the gray fog.

He wanted to use divination to see if his journey to South Wales would be smooth.

The final divination result was: Although the process was bumpy, the result was still good, and it also involved some major changes in his life.

As for the possible major changes, whether good or bad, it is impossible to divination so accurately.

"Do you want to try to divine the whereabouts of 008?"

Klein only thought briefly for two seconds and gave up this suicidal behavior.

After all, no one knows who 008 is in the hands of now, and it is a big risk to spy rashly.

...

In the morning, at the steam train station at 7:50, Greyste waited for Klein.

There was no surprise on his face, because he knew Klein would definitely come.

"Mr. Greyste, I need your care on this journey."

"Mr. Klein, this is what I want to say to you." Greyste smiled.

...

On the sea, a small ship has been sailing on the sea for more than ten days.

On the bow deck, Leonard was facing the sea, fishing in the cool sea breeze.

Since leaving Puning Port, they have been moving forward on the sea, encountering several waves of rampant pirates during the period, but unfortunately none of them knew the current specific location of the Black Emperor.

There was no way, they could only ask and search at the same time.

"Alas, the fish in this sea are stupid, so casually bite the hook."

Leonard exerted force on his wrist and threw a big fish weighing nearly 20 kilograms on the deck, pretending to look at a teammate who had not yet harvested anything.

Seeing that his face did not seem to be very good, and there was an obvious bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, Leonard was in a much better mood,

Thumbs up.

There was a sound of footsteps on the deck, Leonard put down the fishing rod and looked at Ms. Illya who came out of the captain's room.

Illya glanced at Leonard and another teammate, and then slowly said: "There is news from the church that the team members who stayed in Puning Port to investigate have encountered trouble, and even the news can't be transmitted normally."

In trouble?

The first thought that came to Leonard's mind was to be glad that he did not choose to stay in Puning Port, and the second thought was to worry about the situation of his teammates.

Leonard asked tentatively: "Ms. Illya, do you think we were deliberately led out of Puning Port?"

"Well, this matter is indeed a coincidence, and coincidence and accident are the most important obstacles we need to overcome in this investigation."

Illya also felt this way, especially after leaving Puning Port.

Another team member said: "Then let's return to Puning Port now?"

"This is the purpose of my coming to you now."

As soon as Illya finished speaking, the shadow of a ship appeared at the end of the distant sea and sky.

When the ship gradually approached, Leonard and others saw clearly that the ship was the Black Emperor they had been looking for.

Leonard's face was extremely solemn and he asked, "Is this also a coincidence arranged by someone?"

Hearing this, Illya's face changed slightly, but her eyes were still full of calmness and confidence.

"Whether it is a coincidence or not, we should not give up this opportunity."
