“Do you know Mr. Moretti?” Angelica asked, somewhat surprised.
“Well, we are neighbors, and Mr. Moretti is also my sponsor.” Roger nodded.
Of course, the kind that only sponsored one penny…
“I see.”
Lady Angelica's eyes changed slightly, and she pointed to the end of the corridor:
“The room at the far end on the right. I need to remind you that it's best to wait until the current client's divination is over before going in to see Mr. Moretti.”
“Of course.”
Roger nodded slightly in greeting, and then quietly sat in the hall, reading the newspaper while waiting.
After about ten minutes or so, a middle-aged gentleman in his thirties, wearing inexpensive formal wear, came out of the divination room where Klein was, and couldn't stop thanking the diviner inside.
“Mr. Morris, how was your divination?”
Angelica immediately stood up. Although she had heard that Klein had good skills in physiognomy, she couldn't help but worry since it was his first time officially accepting a divination commission.
“Very good. Mr. Moretti is an excellent Master.”
Mr. Morris did not hide his approval of Klein.
“Of course… Klein is a true ‘Diviner’.”
Roger thought to himself, and walked towards the divination room where Klein was.
Klein was putting on his clothes, preparing to leave.
He turned his head in confusion and saw Roger standing at the door, smiling.
“Mr. Bonway, do you need a divination too?” Klein joked.
“Yes, I need to divine when I can have the good life promised by the previous Cabinet.”
The two laughed at the same time, and after a few seconds, Roger stopped smiling and said:
“Mr. Moretti, you haven't had afternoon tea yet, have you? There's a nice new special restaurant nearby. I wonder if you'd be willing to grace me with your presence? My treat.”
The club previously provided free drinks, but it was inevitable that drinking only liquids would be a bit unbearable.
Although Klein had some surplus funds at the moment, Roger still couldn't bear to let him spend money on some high-end restaurant.
“I'd be delighted.” Klein didn't refuse, and then said, “You can just call me Klein from now on.”
“Mettis.” Roger responded friendly.
Klein picked up his Silver-Inlaid Cane, put on his hat, and then left the Divination Club with Roger, heading to the “Loretta Restaurant” across the street.
The two casually ordered some tea and snacks, and then began to eat and drink.
Klein tapped his eyebrow center lightly with the tip of his index finger, and looked at Roger, saying:
“Mettis, my intuition tells me that you should have something to ask me.”
“Yes, I have a commission, and I don't know if you're willing to take it.”
Roger didn't hide it, and told Klein about the matter entrusted by Willis.
Of course, he omitted the overall expenses.
“If I'm not mistaken, you should be working at the security company where we met before.
“The police don't pay much attention to this matter at the moment, so if your company can solve this matter, I'm willing to share 20 Gold Pounds of the fee with you as a reward.”
After Klein heard Roger's words, his expression was also a bit solemn.
He still hadn't participated in the official mission of the Nighthawks team, so he was a bit unclear about the depth of this matter.
But the fee of 20 Gold Pounds could be said to be quite tempting—because this matter involved a Supernatural Event, so it was considered the Nighthawks' job, rather than a commission to “earn extra money.”
This was also Roger's idea, to let Klein use his official convenience to seek some benefits for himself, and by the way, help himself with the help of the Church's Official power to rescue James.
Both a compatriot and a good neighbor, they could earn money together.
Roger, as the “order-taking” channel, he considered the four-six split to be quite reasonable.
On the other hand, if this matter was related to the “Aurora Society”, with the help of Official power, it could also prevent the Messenger of God in Ahoa County from targeting him in advance.
“I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that I can complete it.” Klein pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Roger didn't worry at all that the Nighthawks couldn't handle such a thing. He took out a 5 Gold Pound banknote and handed it to Klein: “Then it's settled. This is the deposit. Please solve it within 3 days.”
Klein took the money and nodded.
He ate the remaining pastries on the plate and drank the Sweet Iced Tea in the glass.
“Thank you for the treat. I'll go to the company to report for work now.” Klein put on his hat and politely said goodbye.
Today was Captain Dunn Smith's day to guard Chanis Gate, and he needed to go back to the “Blackthorn Security Company” to tell the other party about this matter.
As Klein walked, he took out a One penny coin from his pocket.
“Is Mettis's commission dangerous?”
After silently reciting the question, he flipped the coin and got the answer “no”.
“It seems that my neighbor is indeed a good person. From the Spiritual Vision result just now, he should also be a Beyonder.”
Klein thought to himself: “Perhaps I can bring him into the ‘Tarot Club’? The day after tomorrow is the day of the gathering. There happens to be another invitation spot recently, so I can use this opportunity to probe whether he is a Transmigrator…”
After a while, Klein took a public Carriage and arrived at the “Blackthorn Security Company”. After greeting Old Neil and Rosanne, he went straight down and came to the office near Chanis Gate, and found Captain Dunn.
“Captain, I have a report involving a Mysticism event here.”
He told Dunn the general situation, and the latter nodded:
“I think this matter is related to the ‘Aurora Society’. There have been many clues recently that point to them engaging in illegal Faith activities.
Dunn took out a piece of information from the drawer and threw it to Klein:
“This is the list of missing persons reported by the Tingen City Police in the past week. We also planned to join the ‘Punishers’ to wipe out the Aurora Society's Hideout in the past two days.
“Since you have already been involved in this matter, I am considering adding you to the list of Law Enforcement members this time.”
Klein quickly scanned the list and indeed found the name “James Willis” on it.
“Delighted.”
Klein was a little excited. Although the Captain had promised to let him officially join the Nighthawks after solving the Antigonus Family's Notes case, he was also very happy to accumulate some experience first.
After all, with the two Churches jointly enforcing the law, there was naturally a great guarantee in terms of safety.
“Go back and wait for news.” Dunn nodded, and then said in confusion, “By the way, what was I going to do just now…”
Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he got up and exited Dunn's office.
…
The evening of two days later, Tingen City Dock Area.
Sitting in a small Tavern on a back street, drinking sparkling water, and eating Salted Cod with a Knife and Fork, Roger looked at a large building without a nameplate not far away, seemingly unintentionally.
Some people with the characteristics of Beyonders, which were clearly revealed within his Spiritual Vision, were slowly approaching there in the manner of ordinary walking.
There will be another chapter later.
