Chapter 1397 Blood Moon (39)

Two days later, Ronan rented an apartment three kilometers away from the Royal Police Academy.

The reason why it took so long was that the rental housing in the surrounding area was very tight, and it was very difficult to find a suitable house. He still commissioned an agent to get it done.

And this two-bedroom apartment requires Ronan to pay a high rent of 12 gold pounds and 5 silver dollars every month!

Such a monthly rent is higher than the monthly salary of the senior police officers in Rand City.

In fact, there are cheap houses, but Ronan doesn't like them at all. Although he doesn't pay much attention to living conditions, there is really no need to wrong himself when he is rich.

Relying on the military merit certificate provided by Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Wodehouse, Ronan successfully received two generous bounties from the military, with a total amount of more than 40,000 gold pounds.

Therefore, although the housing prices in Ceres are extremely high, it is not a problem for him to rent a small villa to live in.

However, considering that there will be a large amount of expenditure in the future, Ronan chose this small apartment with a good location, environment and decoration 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 trouble, Ronan finally settled down in the largest and most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Yingweiya.

Meow~

After strolling around the apartment, Xiaohei lay comfortably on the sofa in the living room.

It was obviously very satisfied with this new home.

Ronan felt okay too.

This apartment is only about 40 to 50 square meters, but it is cleverly divided into bedrooms, study rooms, living rooms and bathrooms. It has all the furniture such as beds, desks, sofas, wardrobes, etc. The decoration is simple but warm, which is very suitable for single people to live in.

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

But you can order meals from the administrator.

"Let's go."

Ronan patted Xiao Hei's head and said, "I'll take you to a good meal."

He had asked the apartment manager before and knew that there were many restaurants nearby, gathering delicacies from all over the kingdom. As long as there were gold pounds in his pocket, he could eat for a long time every day.

Xiao Hei rubbed Ronan's arm affectionately, then jumped to the floor and followed him out of the room.

Just as Ronan closed the door, he keenly felt the gaze from behind.

But when Ronan turned around, he only saw the closed door of the neighbor next door.

This apartment has a total of five floors, with two elevators and four households - of course, it is a staircase.

Ronan rented room 404, his neighbor was room 403, and the other two households were on the other side of the corridor.

He didn't care and took Xiao Hei to the small building to find food.

At the same time, get familiar with the surrounding environment.

The apartment manager's recommendation is still quite reliable. There are dozens of restaurants of all sizes in the surrounding area.

In one of the mid- to high-end restaurants, Ronan had a dinner for 1 gold pound and 2 silver dollars.

The staple food and meals tasted OK, but it felt like the gold pound had depreciated a lot in Ceres, and the cost of living here was much higher than in Rand City.

After eating, Ronan bought two sandwiches and grilled sausages at a roadside stall for tomorrow's breakfast.

The food at the roadside stall was undoubtedly much more affordable.

He also bought a few boxes of cigarettes and gave one to the administrator when he returned to the apartment.

The administrator of this apartment is responsible for various charges and also serves as a security guard. He is tall and burly with a good personality.

It is still necessary to build a good relationship with him.

After all, Ronan will live here for at least a year.

He took Xiao Hei back to the fourth floor. Just as he took out the key to open the door, he felt the prying from behind again.

Ronan turned around suddenly and saw that the door of the neighbor's house had opened a palm-wide gap. A little girl of four or five years old was standing behind the door and secretly looking at him.

Bang!

When she realized that her peeping behavior was discovered, she immediately closed the door nervously.

A curious little girl.

Ronan laughed dumbly.

He stood at the door and waited for a moment, and as expected, the neighbor's door was quietly opened again.

"Hello."

Ronan didn't wait for her to open the door again, and smiled: "I'm Ronan Raymond, a tenant who just moved in today."

Neighbors on the same floor and next door, you don't see each other often, so get familiar with each other first to avoid being mistaken for criminals.

The peeping girl was about to close the door, but 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 Tolan."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Tolan."

Ronan smiled and asked: "Excuse me, are your parents at home?"

He wanted to get to know the neighbors, but the little girl shook her head: "My mother hasn't come back yet."

Ronan was surprised: "Are you home alone?"

Janice pursed her lips, looking a little sad and lost: "Yeah."

Her stomach suddenly made a strange gurgling sound.

The little girl's face immediately turned red!

Ronan couldn't help shaking his head, and then handed over a food bag containing sandwiches and grilled sausages: "Miss Tolan, this is the dinner I just bought. I wonder if I can share it with you?"

He looked at the little girl's dress and speech and behavior. She should be from a noble family. She only mentioned her mother but not her father. It was probably a single-parent family.

But her mother hadn't come back so late, leaving the little girl alone at home, which was really irresponsible.

At least there should be some food at home, right?

"Thank you."

Facing the food bag handed to her, Janice swallowed subconsciously, and then shook her head and said, "But my mother said that we can't eat strangers' food."

"But I'm not a stranger..."

Ronan smiled and said, "I'm your neighbor Ronan Raymond."

The little girl's brain suddenly crashed.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?"

At this moment, a voice of shock and anger suddenly came.

The next moment, a figure rushed from the stairs: "Stay away from my daughter!"

Ronan took two steps back, watching the other person rush to the door, protecting Janice Tolan behind him, and glaring at him.

This is a beautiful lady.

She is about twenty years old, wearing a plain white lady's dress, with light golden curly hair and snow-white skin, beautiful eyes and white teeth.

But the lady's expression at this time is a bit fierce, like an angry female beast.

"Mom."

Before Ronan spoke, Janice Tolan pulled the skirt of the beautiful lady and said weakly: "This is Mr. Ronan Raymond, the neighbor who just moved in. He wants to share dinner with me."

"Mr. Ronan Raymond is a good man."
