Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 126 Trading Table

The cook was puzzled. "What is there to regret? The boss is very nice and treats me very well. Although everyone is saying that Lord Babbitt has made great contributions to this city, what does this have to do with me?"

The two were almost at the store where Babbitt appeared today. The cook spoke much faster and softer, "I'm just an outsider. I haven't experienced their previous lives, but I don't think my current life is better than my hometown. I just can't go back."

Cecilia was about to ask why he wasn't going when she heard a noise.

There was a huge crowd of people at the door of a pub owned by Babbitt. It looked like it would be impossible to squeeze in.

But the cook gestured to her to follow her in another direction.

The two men went in from the back kitchen of the tavern.

There were quite a few people inside the tavern, but there were few people around where Babbitt was sitting.

Babbitt had his back to her, and Cecilia couldn't see his face clearly.

Just the back view makes him look younger than Cecilia thought.

Looks thirty at most.

But think about it, Babbitt inherited his father's title, and he has only been in power for four years.

I heard that the old duke was less than 50 years old when he died. How old could his son be?

Cecilia and the cook arrived at the right time and happened to catch a good show. The daughter of the chief of the Public Security Bureau of Huguzhi City sat opposite Babbitt, and many people who were watching the fun around began to talk.

In the eyes of the common people, this weekly Babbitt transaction is a way for Lord Babbitt to solve their life problems. Why would this powerful person compete with them?

The woman was arrogant but also a little timid. Her eyes were not firm and her tone was a little tentative. "I want to be your wife. You can name the price. How about that?"

The onlookers were in an uproar again. Everyone in Hu Gu Zhi City knew that there had never been a failed transaction at Lord Babbitt's trading table so far.

But Cecilia shook her head in the shadow of the tavern's kitchen.

If we give the initiative to the other party, I'm afraid this "transaction" will not be able to go on.

Cecilia opened the system information and took a look. No wonder, this little girl is only eighteen years old this year.

As expected, Babbitt, who was considered the local emperor of Huguzhi City, did not give the girl this opportunity. "Maritice, this kind of thing should not be handled by a girl. Go back and tell your father that instead of thinking of these crooked ideas here, you should think of a way to catch the man for me."

The little girl probably had never been so embarrassed in her life. She ran out crying, covering her face.

People on the street pointed at her until Babbitt said loudly, "Next."

The cook poked Cecilia at the side and said, "I heard before that the people from the Public Security Bureau seemed to have not caught an undercover agent who had sneaked in. I heard that it was a middle-aged woman who looked to be around 40 years old. Lord Babbitt seemed particularly angry about this."

Cecilia: ...

She didn't know that she had been put on Babbitt's wanted list.

"How does this confirm that she is undercover?"

The cook shook her head. "Then I don't know."

Cecilia continued to watch.

After the incident with the little girl, the subsequent transactions went relatively smoothly.

Most of the so called deals are more of a job seeker.

It's like he is willing to risk his life for Lord Babbitt, hoping that Lord Babbitt can give him something to eat, and then Babbitt will have someone take him away and give him a job.

Thinking about it this way, all the positions in Hu Gu Zhi City are indeed in Babbitt's hands.

No matter what advantages or disadvantages a person has, Babbitt can arrange a job for him.

They can range from the senior management of Huguzhicheng to the helpers of Babbitt's industries.

There are really as many job vacancies as you want.

Seeing that Babbitt was a little tired, Cecilia thought he was going to announce that today's transaction was over, but then she heard him say, "Next."

At this time, the cook was chatting with the people in the tavern.

The cook was able to bring herself in from the kitchen, so her relationship with the other person was self-evident.

The two of them chatted happily, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Many people in the crowd could see that Lord Babbitt was a little tired. Normally at this time, Lord Babbitt would just call the next person as a formality, and if no one came forward, he would announce the end.

Cecilia looked in the direction of the cook again. Behind her was the kitchen, and in front of her were a few people standing sporadically, all with their backs to her.

Cecilia quickly took off the mask on her face, revealing her true face, walked quickly forward, and sat opposite Babbitt at the critical moment.

Babbitt swallowed back the words he wanted to say to end the conversation. He stared at Cecilia's face and didn't speak for a long time.

Cecilia didn't say anything either.

The crowd began to talk in low voices, but Cecilia did not listen. Her whole attention was almost entirely on observing Babbitt.

Babbitt put away his tired look and seemed to be interested, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "What do you want to trade with me?"

"I heard that Lord Babbitt is catching an undercover agent. I have a way."

Babbitt leaned back in his chair, supporting his head with one hand and tapping the handle of the chair with the other. "Oh? Tell me about it?"

Cecilia laughed, "You're joking. You can't say this in public, right?"

Babitt nodded, sitting up straight and crossing his hands on the table, "So what do you want from me?"

Of course Cecilia would not impulsively walk up to Babbitt. After the farce caused by that little girl just now, she heard a lot of useful information from the crowd.

Most of the employment in Huguzhi City was decided by Babbitt himself.

But the father of the little girl just now, the chief of the police department, was from the same era as Babbitt's father.

Judging from the scene just now, it can be concluded that the relationship between Babbitt and the Chief of Sheriff's Bureau is not harmonious.

"I want the position of sheriff's chief."

This time it was Babbitt's turn to laugh. "You want to be the chief of the Public Security Bureau just because you caught an undercover? I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public, right?"

Cecilia remained calm, "You know very well whether that person is an undercover agent or not, and you also know very well where that person came from. Perhaps if you think about it for a little longer, that person might have left Hu Gu Zhi City."

Babbitt put away his smile, and his aura suddenly changed.

The people around were confused and had no idea why Lord Babbitt suddenly became unhappy.

Cecilia was not afraid at all. "Sir, I think you know very well that the worst outcome for me is death without a burial place, but I'm afraid you don't want all these years of planning to go to waste, right?"
