Chapter 1399.

Two days later, Luo Nan rented an apartment three kilometers away from the Wang Family Higher Police Academy. The reason why it took so long was because the neighboring area was very tight for rental apartments, it was very hard to find a suitable house, and he still managed to get it done by commissioning an intermediary.

This two-bedroom apartment required Luo Nan to shell out a high monthly rent of 12 gold pounds and 5 silver dollars!

Such a monthly rent was higher than the monthly salary of a higher police officer in Rande City.

In fact, there were cheap houses, but Luo Nan completely looked down on it, although he did not pay much attention to the living conditions, but there was really no need to compromise himself when he had a lot of money in his pocket.

Relying on Gordon. Relying on the proof of war service provided by Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse, Luo Nan smoothly received two generous bounties from the Ministry of War, totaling more than 40,000 gold pounds.

Therefore, although the house price in Ceres was extremely high, it was not a problem for him to rent a small villa.

It was only because of the large expenses he would have in the future that Luo Nan chose this apartment, which was not large in size, but the location, environment, and d茅cor were not bad at all, to live in temporarily.

He didn’t have much luggage, so he signed the contract with the landlord and moved in directly.

Of course, some daily necessities had to be purchased separately.

After a lot of fussing, Luo Nan finally settled down in the largest and most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Invia.

Meow~

After skulking around the apartment room, Blackie comfortably laid down on the sofa in the living room.

It was obviously quite satisfied with this new home.

Luo Nan felt okay with it as well.

This apartment was only forty to fifty square meters in size, but it was cleverly separated into a bedroom, study, living room, and bathroom, with a bed, desk, sofa, closet, and other furnishings, and the decor was simple but not too cozy, making it very suitable for a single person to live in.

There is no kitchen, and the landlord does not allow tenants to cook over a fire in the apartment.

However, meals could be ordered from the administrator.

“Go.”

Luo Nan patted Xiao Hei’s head and said, “Take you to a good meal.”

Earlier, he had purposely asked the apartment administrator and knew that there were quite a few restaurants in the neighborhood, gathering food from all over the kingdom, so as long as he had gold pounds in his pocket, he could eat for a long time even if he changed it up every day.

Xiao Hei rubbed Luo Nan’s arm affectionately, and instantly jumped down to the floor, following him out of the room.

Right at the moment Luo Nan closed the door, he keenly felt the gaze from behind him.

Only when Luo Nan turned around, what he saw was merely the tightly closed door of his next-door neighbor’s room.

The apartment building had a total of five floors, with a two-staircase, four-family layout – a walk-up staircase, of course.

Luo Nan rented room 404, with neighbor 403, while the other two households were on the other side of the corridor.

He didn’t care and took Little Blackie Little Building to forage for food.

At the same time familiarize himself with the surroundings.

The apartment manager’s recommendation was still quite reliable, and there were dozens of large and small restaurants in the surrounding area.

In one of the mid to high grade restaurants, Luo Nan ate a dinner for 1 gold pound and 2 silver dollars.

The taste of both the main course and the meal was fine, it just felt as if the gold pounds had depreciated quite a bit in Celis, and the cost one needed to pay to live here was a lot higher than in Rande City.

After eating out, Ronan purchased two more sandwiches as well as grilled sausages at a roadside stand for tomorrow’s breakfast.

The food at the roadside stand was undoubtedly a lot more affordable.

He also bought a few boxes of cigarettes and slipped a box to the janitor uncle when he returned to the apartment.

The janitor of the apartment was responsible for all the fees and charges, and also served as a security guard, and was tall and lanky with a good personality.

It was necessary to have a good relationship with him.

After all, Luo Nan was going to live here for at least a year.

He brought Little Black back to the fourth floor and had just pulled out the key to open the door to his room when he once again sensed prying eyes from behind him.

Luo Nan turned around with a huff, and with a glance, he saw that the door of his neighbor’s room had opened a palm-width slit, and a four- or five-year-old girl was standing behind the door peeking towards his side.

Bang!

And when she realized that her peeping was discovered, she immediately shut the door of the room nervously.

A curious little girl.

Luo Nan was dumbfounded.

He stood at the door and waited for a few moments, and unsurprisingly, the neighbor’s door was quietly opened once again.

“Hello.”

Luo Nan didn’t wait for her to open the door again and smiled, “I, Ronan . Raymond, the tenant who just moved in today.”

Same floor next door neighbors, head down, head up, familiarize yourself first lest you be mistaken for an outlaw.

The peeping little girl was about to close the door, when she heard Ronan’s gentle voice, she obviously hesitated for a moment, then opened the door a little wider and said timidly, “Hello, Mr. Raymond, I’m Janice. Toland.”

“Pleased to meet you, Ms. Toland.”

Ronan smiled and asked, “May I ask if your parents are home?”

He thought about getting to know his neighbors, but the little girl shook her head, “My mother hasn’t returned yet.”

Luo Nan was surprised, “You’re home alone, huh?”

Janice pursed her lips, looking a little sad and lost, “Uh-huh.”

Her stomach suddenly made a strange gurgling sound.

The little girl’s face immediately turned red!

Luo Nan couldn’t help but shake his head, then handed over the food bag containing sandwiches and grilled sausages, “Ms. Toran, this is the dinner I just bought, I wonder if I can share it with you?”

He looked at this little girl’s dress and mannerisms, she should be from a small noble family, only mentioning her mother but not her father, so he guessed that she was a single parent family.

It was just a bit irresponsible to leave the little girl alone in the house when the mother hadn’t returned this late.

At least the house should have some food on hand, right?

“Thanks.”

And facing the bag of food handed in front of her, Janice subconsciously swallowed her saliva, then shook her head and said, “But mom said you can’t eat strangers’ things.”

“But I’m not a stranger ……”

Ronan laughed, “I’m your neighbor Ronan . Raymond ah.”

The little girl’s brain went a little down.

“Who are you and what do you want?”

It was at this time that a voice of shock and anger suddenly came out.

The next moment, a figure darted from the stairway, “Stay away from my daughter!”

Ronan took two steps back and watched as the other party rushed to the door, protecting Janice . Toland protected behind her and glared at him again.

It was a pretty lady.

She was around twenty years old, wearing a plain white lady’s dress, with light blonde curly hair and snow-white skin, with beautiful eyes and teeth of outstanding value.

Only this young lady’s expression at this moment was somewhat fierce, like an enraged female beast.

“Mom.”

Without waiting for Luo Nan to speak, Janice. Toland pulled the corner of the pretty lady’s skirt and said weakly, “This is the neighbor who just moved in, Mr. Ronan Raymond. Mr. Raymond, he wants to share dinner with me.”

“Ronan. Mr. Ronan Raymond is a good man.”
