Three days later.

Woo. Woo. Woo.

A luxury steam train entered the upper town of Innocence City from the mine passage.

As soon as the train pulled into the platform, the conductor was already waiting for him, respectfully standing at the door to greet the guests coming off each carriage.

Unlike Xiacheng Station, which is dirty and noisy, the passengers who get off this train are either rich or expensive.

All of them were brightly dressed and looked haughty, and most of them were accompanied by three or five guards and servants.

In the first car, a handsome young man wearing a crisp white suit walked out.

He wore a bowler hat, shiny expensive white leather shoes, and held a sterling silver tiger-head cane in his hand.

The most eye-catching thing is the simple black and yellow cross coat of arms hanging on his left chest.

As soon as they got off the train, there was an old butler waiting beside the train. He caught a glimpse of the coat of arms and bowed to the young man: "Your distinguished Lord Baron, your car is already waiting outside the station."

The young man in a suit looked at it with a slightly arrogant curve on his lips: "Yeah."

That's right, this person is Ji Xun.

Xie Guozhong used Bureau X's resources to arrange a disguised identity for him as a nobleman, now called Charlie.

This is a hereditary baron who only has a name, no territory, no position, and has been in decline for a hundred years.

The Old World is now an undeveloped gold mining area in the eyes of the Federation.

There have been a lot of such down-and-out nobles coming to Innocence City recently.

They are all looking for opportunities to see if they can regain the glory of the nobility.

And this Charlie is not fictional.

If someone investigates, there really is such a person.

In the remote Moen City and Lilley Town in the rich mineral layer, this family has always had a trace of life.

This "substitution method" almost eliminates the possibility of exposure to external factors.

Ji Xun also thinks it is very ideal.

The noble title system was actually abolished when the Federation was established two hundred years ago.

But in the next few decades, after the upper levels of the federation gradually formed a monopoly of power and solidified their classes, some powerful people felt it was necessary to differentiate between them and ordinary people based on their bloodline.

The aristocratic caste system is back again.

Nowadays, anyone with a bit of power will get themselves a background showing that their ancestors are from a certain noble family, and they will be proud of it.

This is also the threshold of upper class society.

Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you will feel like a nouveau riche with no background.

Charlie's family is an old aristocracy with a long history.

But apart from this title, he has nothing.

Charlie's character is a fighting enthusiast and speculator who wants to get rich overnight by clinging to the powerful.

Relying on his status as a noble, he borrowed a sum of money from the Federal Bank and planned to come to Innocence City to make a comeback.

Ji Xun is a professional actor.

After he familiarized himself with some of Charlie's character scripts, he easily brought the character into his own person.

Now, he is Charlie.

The housekeeper who picked up the station was called Lao Ding, and he was also a professional housekeeper hired in advance through an agency.

They don't know each other.

After getting into a rented car, we drove a few kilometers out of the station and arrived at a small apartment.

It was also the first time for Ji Xun to come to the city of Innocence.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw bright lights.

The upper city is more than ten times smaller than the lower city, but there is a sense of nobility everywhere.

Exquisite small western-style buildings with white walls and red roofs, clean streets, bright street lamps, street trees and flower beds with bright flowers.

The gentlemen on the street are all in suits and leather shoes, and the ladies are elegant, youthful and beautiful.

It is completely different from the street scene full of hunters in the lower city.

The luxurious Gothic-style castle on the hillside not far away is the residence of the lord Cao family.

It was also Ji Xun's first time here, and he was secretly surprised.

But after getting off the car, there was still a look of arrogance on his face, and he muttered in a disgusting tone: "The Innocence City is really a dirty and sinful countryside~"

It seems that breathing the air here will pollute his noble baron bloodline.

Hearing this, Butler Ding bowed down respectfully and led him into the small apartment at No. 233 Maple Leaf Road.

This apartment was also rented in advance.

After entering, there were already two maids and a cook inside.

Servants are a must.

Nobles need to be ranked well. Even if the money in their pockets comes from loans, the cards must not be bad.

But renting a house and a maid already cost a fortune.

"Charlie" must find a way to get money in Innocence City as soon as possible.

Ji Xun walked in, and immediately a maid helped to take over his coat, hat and cane.

The old butler pointed to a stack of invitations on the table and said: "Lord Charlie, I heard that you are coming today. The nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city are eager to get to know you. This is the invitation they sent."

The old housekeeper's words were very boastful.

Ji Xun glanced around and saw that there were no nobles at all. They were all invitations from the XX Chamber of Commerce.

A hereditary baron can continue the noble bloodline through his children.

A bit like a humanoid stallion.

Many wealthy businessmen want to blend into the real upper class society, and are happy to marry such down-and-out nobles to achieve the purpose of improving their family bloodlines.

At this time, the old butler handed over another invitation with the coat of arms of a halberd and a double-headed falcon on the seal, and introduced it emphatically: "The most important thing is this one. There is a dinner party at the Lord's Mansion tonight.

Invite all the nobles in the city to participate.”

Ji Xun glanced at it and said calmly: "I know."

He came today just for the dinner party.

Only when you show up in a high profile and make the people of Silver Moon Sect feel valuable, those people will take the initiative to come to you.

The life of aristocrats is so monotonous.

What you have to do every day is not work, but communication.

Endless dance parties and endless dinner parties.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Ji Xun stood in front of the window, read all the invitations carefully, and wrote down the names.

Every trace from now on may be the key to leading out those people from the Silver Moon Sect.

Ji Xun checked the furnishings in the room again, and after finding that there were no problems, he began his daily reading practice.

In the evening, the young maid took a bath.

Ji Xun put on a new white suit and went out in the car.

Not long after, we arrived at the Lord's Mansion.

Both lords died violently, and the Cao family now has no chance of controlling Innocence City on their own.

The members of the Federal Assembly are holding back the Cao family, and the lord of Innocence City cannot be changed for the time being.

And this branch of the Cao family couldn't bear to have such a large piece of cake taken away by the Zong family.

Therefore, today’s dinner party is somewhat intended to make amends.

This is accurate information that Xie Guozhong had obtained long ago.

When Ji Xun arrived, several streets near the entrance of the Lord's Mansion were filled with luxurious steam cars.

I got out of the car, flashed my coat of arms and identity tag, and entered the manor smoothly.

The outer walls of the ancient city walls were painted with luxurious gold, and the dazzling light of the crystal lamps made the entire castle shine.

You can see valuable oil paintings hanging on the walls of the castle, and there are two knights wearing frost armor every few dozen meters in the corridor.

The Cao family is worthy of being a high-ranking noble. Even though Ji Xun personally killed a lord, when he walked into the castle, he still felt like he had just broken off a corner of a bull's head. Although it didn't look good, it was still huge and strong without it.

After walking through the front hall, there is a lush green lawn.
