Jean had expected something would happen. During this time, the night world in Saint Georgia City was controlled by his three large groups. The first group of red bears, the second is the group of black horses. The last one is the white wolf.
Each of them controlled the western part of the capital, the east, and the south. The northern part was left empty because it was where the royal castle and the royal family residences as well as the high-ranking nobles lived.
These three groups at least had a balanced strength. They are equally strong and have their own advantages and disadvantages. The relationship that was going on between them was definitely not a friend or ally. But they also avoid open hostility.
These three groups did not want to disturb each other. At least that's what it looks like on the surface. But in various ways, all three are trying to scramble for influence.
Either that by trying to take the hearts of the nobles, terrorizing each other, sometimes launching acts of murder to some of their members.
And the group that Jean made ever got this request. One of the members of the red bear asked him to kill some members of the white wolf.
Well, the person who became his client did not say that he was a member of a certain group. Jean found out when she saw the clothes the man was wearing. There is an embroidery picture of a bear opening its mouth wide.
Forget about that client. What is clear, with the conditions currently underway, the potential for clashes from the three groups will be even higher.
To be honest this was a sweet opportunity for Jean and she couldn't miss this. The three groups did have their own troops. But that amount will not be enough. Usually they would pay the other party to support them.
'There was a chance that they would prepare money to pay the mercenaries and many bouncers. This is an opportunity for me.'
But Jean is also not arrogant and naive to think that one of the three will use her services. Either way, Jean and the others were relatively new arrivals. He had gone through several missions but the scale was small and had no major impact. At most only 'defeating' personal grudges.
He had to raise his reputation again. Jean held her chin. There were many options to raise his reputation and price, but with the resources he had now, the options became so limited.
Moreover, at least for now and some time soon, he should avoid dealing with those three underworld groups. Jean eventually decides that for a time, Jean will not accept requests from them.
In the end, he still had the network and connections he had built with some of Uncle Hull's nobles and trading associates. Without him noticing, Jean smiled cunningly.
The climate among the nobles and wealthy merchants was not exactly good. They are in conflict with each other. They smile at each other and shake hands outside. But inside, they would try to get rid of their enemies and opponents even in a dirty way. And Uncle Hull is not even an exception.
Jean has found her target market. That night, after spending time thinking in the kitchen where the children she saved lived, Jean returns to Uncle Hull's residence.

"Hello Jean, long time no see huh? What about your situation?"
In the afternoon, Jean is greeted by Natasha who is standing in front of him. Jean herself just finished accompanying her non-anya, Charlotte, studying. His job has increased lately. In addition to being Hull's uncle's right-hand man, Jean is also asked to become Charlotte's mentor.
"Good afternoon, Miss Natasha. Have not seen each other for a long time. It's an honor to see you again. Let's go in, Miss Charlotte is waiting for you in her room."
Natasha smiled and followed Jean from behind. Natasha is getting beautiful. The tubes are getting higher. Not fat but not skinny. In other words, Natasha had a very beautiful slim body.
"By the way Jean, you look very comfortable working here huh? Is serving this family fun for you?"
Jean smiled a little. He did not stop his steps, kept walking.
"Instead of Fun, I consider this to be a Reward for what they have given me."
"Reply?"
"really. Miss Natasha, there is no free lunch in this world. Even when Uncle Hull sincerely wanted to help, I still had the moral burden of paying that debt. Therefore I learned and tried to give my best to uncle Hull and his family who have accepted me."
Natasha tilted her head. Helping out? Does Jean have a certain problem so Hull has to intervene to help her?
"If you may know, what problems have happened to you?"
Jean stop. He turned his body towards Natasha. Her mouth let out a small smile but Natasha felt something uncomfortable from Jean's behavior.
"Is this a question to answer, Miss Natasha?"
Natasha shaking. The girl is not stupid enough to think that this is a sensitive matter for Jean.
"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Natasha. Besides, please forgive me for my behavior just now. I've been disrespectful to you."
This time it was Natasha's turn to smile.
"no need. I should have apologized for touching something I didn't touch a day. Let's go to Charlotte now."
The two of them continued on their way and reached Charlotte's room. It turned out that the girl was looking in the mirror while chatting with Selena. Patently, Charlotte's personal maid combed her nona hair while chuckling a few times, responding to a joke from Charlotte.
"Miss Charlotte, sorry to interrupt your time. Miss Natasha has come."
Charlotte's gaze immediately turned to Natasha. He seemed happy with his friend's presence. Natasha came in and hugged Charlotte. Charlotte also introduces Selena to Natasha. The fact that they were the same age made the two who were new to know become so close in no time.
Jean closed the door and waited outside. It was the talk of the girls so there was nothing really important to hear. Like their hobbies, for example. Or attachment to the opposite sex.
But at the end of the chat, Jean who heard from outside concluded there were two important points. First, tomorrow they will hunt to the nearby forest. Samuel and Joan, their two brothers, will be coming along.
And most importantly, Natasha said that her family was having problems with a certain Baron family. The corner of Jean's mouth was lifted. Looks like luck's a little on her side, huh?
