"York City Economic Daily" once conducted a survey and statistics for the society. The question was which topic do you usually choose to start when you meet an acquaintance outside and say hello.

The topic with the highest votes is - weather.

Because the residents of York City spend one-fifth of the year thanking God for giving us such good weather today, and the remaining four-fifths of the time are filled with blasphemy against God.

It rained again today, and it rained heavily.

Leon walked into the office holding the documents and saw Richard standing by the window looking at the rain outside, his back a little bleak.

This made Leon feel very strange, because in his past and present perception, Richard was a very cheerful person, even a little too cheerful.

Putting the documents on the desk, Laian took the initiative and asked: "Why, are you feeling depressed?"

From Leon's point of view, rainy days do tend to make people sad.

Richard shook his head and replied: "I'm worried about the drainage situation of Hongye Street. The streets there are often blocked when it rains heavily."

"Hongye Street?" Lao Ang searched in his mind and had no impression of this place name. "What kind of place is Hongye Street??"

"A place that can wash away fatigue and purify the soul."

"It sounds very mysterious." Laon rubbed his neck, "By the way, Captain and the others have been on vacation for a long time. Even the director can't see them these days."

Richard turned around, walked to his desk, filed the documents, and then put them in the file cabinet in the office in order of labeling.

"They should be busy with other things."

"Are you busy with other things?"

Laon frowned slightly. As a newcomer, he had a sense of crisis in this regard. After all, what newcomers fear most is being excluded and unable to integrate, even if he is the grandson of the chief bishop.

In other departments, he will definitely receive special care, but in this team, he is not ranked high. After all, there are students of the former high priest and the young master of the Benda family. In addition, their team has just brought down a bishop.

, no, it was to overthrow a bishop family.

Hearing what Richard said, Laon asked cautiously: "Then why didn't you go?"

"I'm too weak, and I don't belong to that circle." Richard explained.

"Circle? Our team's circle?"

"Um."

"Well, can you be more specific?"

Richard put the last document into the cabinet, pushed the drawer up, clapped his hands, and said, "How about I talk to you at lunch tomorrow. It's time to get off work now."

"It's still early, why don't I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

"I'm going to Hongye Street."

"Then let me go too, and go see the place you mentioned."

Hearing this, Richard laughed.

This smile was so warm that Laian was a little confused.

Although there are no big ones recently, there are a lot of small ones that need to go through the procedures, so the department is very busy. Otherwise, Richard would have brought Ang to see the real customs and customs of York City. Now he has offered to talk to him

Go, that would be the best.

"Okay, let's go, take my car."

"OK."

The two people entered the dressing room, changed out of their divine robes into civilian clothes, and then came to the parking lot.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Laian looked at the car seat and the decoration inside and asked:

"You brought your mother's car?"

"My new car."

"Why do I feel a bit more girly?"

"Well, yes, I bought this new one to teach Philomena how to drive. I gave it to her. I usually take a taxi to and from get off work. The weather is bad today, so I brought you with me."

"Oh, that's it. I discovered that you and Philomena have a very good relationship."

"Haha, I think so too. She is a bit introverted. Sometimes when no one is there to help her out and attract her attention, she will be very uncomfortable. I am responsible for making her feel comfortable."

"Make her comfortable?"

"She is the second one in our team who can play. The first one is Karen, and the second one is her, so it is very important to make her comfortable."

"I understand, your work is very important." Laon said this without any joking or ridicule, he was very serious.

After all, he is also a member of the team, and his previous jobs were all civilian jobs. Although his strength and talent are pretty good, the people in this team are either selected by York City or passed the final selection... He has not yet been selected by York City.

The ones that passed were a bit unsatisfactory.

Therefore, he will definitely go on missions with the team frequently in the future. Of course, he hopes that the second strongest player in his team will always be in a good mood.

Richard sighed: "Well, she is gone, but I feel quite lonely."

"Are you in love with her?"

"Like it? No, I just enjoy this feeling of being needed. You know, the most stressful thing in this team is not the work, but the fact that you feel useless."

Laian: "..."

"I'm not talking about you, don't get me wrong, you are very useful."

"Thank you for your comfort."

"Seriously, some things can be easily solved by just going home, hugging grandpa's arm and being coquettish."

"I know some things very well, but can you not say it so bluntly?"

"Family background is one of your abilities. Why don't you be embarrassed? Just be calm. Karen often uses Vic and Murry's family background to put pressure on each other outside."

"Okay, okay, you should introduce me to the circle."

"Oh, the earliest circle was actually very simple. When Karen first established this team, it was divided into three factions, the local gang in York City and the out-of-town gangs from other regions. Memphis and I came in through the back door and were considered acquaintances.

Gang, Alfred is actually an acquaintance.

This circle is still applicable today.

You see, after Vic came in, Blanchemas and the others got closer to him, because they were all out-of-town gangs.

After you came in, did you get closer to a few of us? Because we are a local gang, we can also be called an acquaintance gang.

But later, I discovered that new factions had emerged."

"New faction?"

"Yes, the previous factions were divided by the team members under Karen. In fact, the boundaries were not very clear. They mainly got together habitually when eating and walking; but the new faction is based on Karen.

The origin, spread outward and covered.”

"Captain Cullen spread it by himself? Did he create factions in his own team?"

"Well, you can understand it as a direct descendant."

"Why did he do this?" Leon, who had also served as a small office leader, was very puzzled by Karen's behavior that was not conducive to unity.

"I don't know about this, but it is true. Alfred belongs to the earliest direct line, followed by Ventura and Murray."

"Ventura and Murry? There are local gangs and out-of-town gangs."

"Yes, I clearly felt that after a certain period of time, Ventura and Murray's attitudes towards Karen were completely different.

This time, I feel like Philomena has become a direct descendant, and I mean like, after all, you see, the only one who is on vacation with Karen this time, except Muriventura, is Philomena."

"Then how can we become a direct descendant?"

"It's hard to say, but it should be related to loyalty and ability."

Richard was driving while chatting. The roads were a bit congested on a rainy day, so although he got off work early today, it was already dusk when he arrived at Hongye Street, and the heavy rain had stopped.

Entering this dim sum street, Leon finally understood where exactly the place that Richard said "purified the soul" was.

It's not that he has never experienced this. Although his upbringing is very strict, with his identity and status, he will definitely not lack such opportunities. But for the same reason, he will not come to the snack shop to spend money.

Taking a deep breath, exhaling again, Leon tried his best to make his expression less stiff.

“I like coming here very much during this time. Look at the snack shops on the roadside, their signs, their lights, the people behind their glass doors, everything gives people a very comfortable and curious hazy feeling.

feel.

You see, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Walking here is like walking in a scenic area. The scenery here is really no worse than that in the scenic area. Well..." Richard took a deep breath, "People are the most beautiful scenery."

"I'll invite you to have tea. There's a better view there."

"Tea? No, I just like it here. I'm fascinated by its charm."

"Your preferences are really strange."

"Hey, I suddenly remembered that today seems to be my dad's birthday."
