Chapter 371: Catherine finally gets to work

In this way, Catherine spent three days in Freeport, Massachusetts.

On the fourth day, she finally started to do business.

Of course, this was not because of her conscience, but because the three hundred gold she brought was almost spent, and she had to start budgeting carefully.

I have to say that her spending habits are really typical of a wage earner.

Now that she was almost out of money, she went to stare outside the Iris Club headquarters for a while, trying to find the person to cross-dress.

But after two days of guarding, the intended target was not seen.

Before coming, Ethan specifically asked Sophia for information, and finally settled on a middle-level manager at Iris named Matthews.

This person's position will not be too low and can access the core, but it will not be too high, so there will be no bodyguards, so you don't have to work too hard to control him.

And Matthews fits the bill and can be said to be a very suitable candidate.

It’s just that Matthews has been missing in recent days and hasn’t seen anyone for several days.

Catherine didn't know where he lived, so she could only wait outside the headquarters for two days.

However, on the third day, he finally arrived.

Now that you have found your target, you need to spend a few days getting to know that person's personality, work and rest habits, etc.

These may be difficult for others.

But for Catherine, don't be too simple.

But when she started following Matthews, she discovered a big problem.

That means the money has been spent and the hotel is going to kick her out.

Yes, she is about to be kicked out.

At this time, Catherine regretted spending too much money.

But there is no use regretting, so I can only go to Ethan again to ask for money.

Originally, she wanted Volibear to come forward, but Volibear just pretended to be dead and didn't give any response at all.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it myself.

When the communication was established, Ethan saw Catherine taking the initiative to find him, but he hesitated and said nothing, so he could only ask about the situation first.

This question made Ethan completely confused.

I thought it was because I encountered difficulties during the operation, but it turned out that the difficulties were completely different from those expected. It was actually because I ran out of money.

Ethan clearly remembered giving Catherine almost 300 gold before departure.

Although 300 gold is not a lot of money, for personal consumption, if you save a little, you can use it for ten years!

Moreover, Catherine is a very economical person. She would like to break a copper in half.

How could it be all spent in just a few days?

Ethan noticed something strange and felt it was necessary to ask.

Of course, he didn't care about the money, he was just worried that Catherine would do something bad.

"Catherine, what happened?"

"No...it's okay!" Catherine stammered: "It's just...it's just...I accidentally spent all the money, and now...the hotel owner wants to kick me out."

"Did you go gambling?" Seeing that Catherine didn't answer, Ethan directly asked his doubts.

From what he thought, there was basically no other reason besides gambling.

Catherine waved her hands repeatedly: "Absolutely not, I just..."

When she was mid-sentence, Volibear appeared and said on her behalf: "Master, the situation is like this.

When we got here, we found some people who were sick. Catherine felt sorry for them and gave them some money.

As a result, I kept giving and accidentally spent all the money. "

Ethan was relieved to hear that he was not going to gamble.

As long as it's not gambling, everything else doesn't matter, even if she uses the money to spend the day and night.

So he signed a 500-gold Iris Club note on the spot and asked a transcendent eagle to deliver it to the two of them.

And told Catherine that 300 gold would be spent on her, and the other 200 gold could be given to other people for medical treatment.

Finally, he asked about the progress of the plan and learned that he was still learning to imitate Matthews. Ethan nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to end the call, Volibear suddenly said: "Master, you pay a salary to everyone who follows you, can you give me some as well?

I don’t want more, just 100 gold. "

Volibear suddenly asked for wages, which Ethan didn't expect.

He doesn't need to eat or drink. He can live by absorbing some magic power. Why do he need money?

Ethan immediately thought that he might give it to Catherine!

This little girl is usually greedy and doesn't practice her magic power well. She eats like humans every day. As a result, her skills have not improved, but her appetite has increased every day.

In fact, no matter what the reason, it was rare for Volibear to speak, and it was certainly impossible for Ethan to disagree and even double the amount.

After Catherine got the money, she originally wanted to spend more money, but this time Volibear stopped her.

And she has a tough attitude, so she can only do things well.

After several days of careful observation, Catherine finally fully grasped Matthews' behavior and was ready to take action.

Early that morning, when Matthews was dressed neatly and preparing to go out, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, then his eyes went dark, and he fell unconscious.

After a while, the other Matthews walked out of his room normally, and then boarded the carriage waiting outside the door normally.

Matthews, or rather Catherine, sat in the carriage, thinking about the internal structure of the Iris Society and the intelligence she had.

The headquarters of the Iris Society is a majestic stone castle that is heavily guarded. Especially the underground secret rooms where important information is stored are protected by complex mechanical locks and tight guards.

The key point is that there is a magic barrier there. It is really difficult to enter without using formal means.

Just as she was thinking about it, Catherine suddenly realized that the direction the carriage was taking was not heading to the headquarters of the Iris Society.

So he quickly stopped the coachman and asked, "Where are you going?"

The coachman was confused after hearing this: "Mr. Matthews, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to the Mitchell Manor in the suburbs for vacation?"

"Send me to the headquarters first. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with." Catherine directly ordered without explaining.

"OK!"

So the carriage turned around and drove towards the headquarters of the Iris Club.

Arriving at the Iris Society headquarters, Catherine walked swaggering towards the database in the basement based on the known information.

Along the way, because the guards all knew Matthews, there was no obstruction.

But when she reached the door of the database, she ran into trouble.

Because there are two guards here, she needs to show a warrant before she is allowed to go in to check the information.

Catherine said she forgot to bring it and had something urgent to do, so she asked the guard to let her go first and make up for it later.

But the two guards firmly disagreed.

Catherine couldn't get in and was about to give up when a man with black hair and blue eyes came over.

He seemed to know Matthews. Seeing Matthews appear here, he looked suspicious and said:

"Matthews, I remember you are on vacation today, why are you here at the headquarters?"

Catherine didn't know who this person was, but she kept calm, thought quickly for a moment, and replied: "Suddenly there was an urgent task, and some documents needed to be processed immediately, which delayed my vacation. However, I will leave after processing these."

The man nodded, seemingly convinced, but still stared at her with some doubts. "Okay, but if you need any help, just ask."

"I forgot the warrant and can't get in! But things are a bit urgent and I don't have time to apply." Catherine said with a worried look.

Seeing Catherine's anxious look, the man laughed and said, "You are usually very cautious, what happened today?

Forget it, looking at you like this, I know things are very troublesome.

It just so happens that I also want to go in and check some information, let’s come together! "

"Thank you very much, you have been a great help."

The man smiled indifferently, and then while showing an exquisite hand ticket to the guard, he joked with Catherine: "Please treat me to a drink tonight!"

"no problem!"

While the two were talking, the guard confirmed that there was no problem with the pass warrant and opened the mechanical lock on the door to let them through.

However, they still stopped Catherine and refused to let her in.

Catherine wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, the black-haired man slapped the guard in the face.

"Crack!"

"You two have your brains kicked in the ass, do you think I don't exist?"
