By the time Angel began to prepare for his wedding, Barton had already arrived with his new wife, Hannah, in Dartmouths, a small town in the southwest of England, to begin his studies at the Naval Academy.

Dartmouth is a small town 50 kilometres west of Plymouth, with beautiful natural idyllic scenery and the beautiful Dart River running through the city, where the Royal Naval College, known as the cradle of the British Navy, is located.

In January, Dartmouth was still winter, with an average temperature of only four to seven degrees, and because he only needed to live in Dartmouth for a year, Barton did not buy a property in Dartmouth, but rented a house not far from the Naval Academy.

The landlords of the house are an elderly English couple who are a little curious about Barton's identity, but fortunately Hannah is standard British, so the British couple are reluctantly willing to rent the house to Barton and Hannah.

In the UK mainland, even in a small town like Dartmouths, the cost of living is almost the same as that of Los Angeles, and the house rented by Barton and Hannah is a bit old, said to have been built in the sixties of the last century, so the house is about sixty years old, older than Barton and Hannah combined.

But the good thing is that the house looks in good condition, although there is moss on the stone at the bottom of the exterior wall, but Hannah likes this antique feeling, the outer wall of the house is crawling with vines, now because it is winter, it looks a little muddy, but in the summer it will be full of greenery, the stairs in the house are not broken, it can be seen that it is well maintained, such a house, the rent for a year is about 24 pounds.

For Barton and Hannah, the price of 24 pounds was a bit expensive, but for the sake of Hannah's liking of the house, Barton still paid it happily.

Patton also has a salary during his studies, and the salary is increased on the basis of the normal foreign allowance, which can get about 650 rand per year, which is Patton's salary as the captain of a naval destroyer, and when he finishes his studies and returns to southern Africa, Patton will have the opportunity to serve as the captain of a light cruiser, and Patton's salary will be further increased at that time.

Hannah earns more than Barton at the University of Nyasaland, and in addition to her basic teaching income, Hannah is also a researcher at the Abu Biology Laboratory, earning more than R1,000 a year from the Biology Lab alone.

Not to mention that Barton and Hannah are followed by Buck and Douglas, one is a member of parliament for Southern Africa, and the other is the Minister of Education and Health of Southern Africa.

After renting the house, Hannah remodeled the house according to her own wishes, paying an extra £10 to the old couple for this Hannah, and promising to leave the additional furniture and decorations in the house after leaving, and the old couple agreed to let Hannah renovate the house to a certain extent.

However, the old couple obviously didn't expect that Hannah's renovation of the house was far beyond the "transformation" in their concept, so the renovation was directly stopped by the old couple as soon as the renovation began.

"This house has not been inhabited for a long time, although the furniture is very complete, but I still want to replace it all, you can rest assured, the furniture after the replacement will be kept here, this is what we have negotiated, in addition to the furniture, but also to install the telephone and power supply system, bathroom and kitchen also to redecorate, but you can rest assured, all the costs are my own responsibility, and after all the decoration is completed, you can harvest a new house, next year's rent can be doubled." Hannah has a lot of money, so it costs more to rebuild it than to rebuild a new house.

"That's not what we talked about before, I thought you were only replacing some furniture that you can't continue to use, and you're not moving in with the two of you now, which doesn't meet the conditions we negotiated at the beginning." The old gentleman did not have the elegance of an English gentleman at all when he negotiated the price, and the appearance of the baht must be more hateful than that of a calculating merchant.

There are indeed more than two people in the house, Barton and Hannah, the security situation in the UK is more than a level worse than that in southern Africa, in addition to Barton and Hannah, there is also a female security guard and a maid living in the house.

"It's okay, if you don't want other people to live in your house, I can find another place for Sharon and Kelly." Hannah has a good temper, and it is normal for the old gentleman to have such worries.

Sharon is a field worker at Umbrella Inc., and she knows by the name that she is a standard white person, while Kelly is a Gurkha from India who Hannah hires from Christian Human Resources.

Don't underestimate Kelly, the little maid, and I don't know how Christian's human resources company trains these maids, Kelly's proficiency in firearms is no less than Sharon's, and her proficiency in cold weapons is still above Sharon's.

This is also normal, the Gurkhas, they don't know how to play two scimitars, what kind of Gurkhas.

While the old couple was negotiating with Hannah, Sharon stood behind Hannah, staring at the old gentleman's eyes.

Kelly was busy serving tea and pouring water, but the scimitar she wore at her waist seemed to be even more terrifying.

Kelly's scimitar is a special one, and it seems to be smaller than the scimitar used in the army, but this does not affect the power of the scimitar, and this small and delicate weapon is more powerful in a small space at close range, and is suitable for stabbing in addition to slashing.

"It's hard to find a house in the town right now, and at this time of year, there are always a lot of people looking for a house." The old gentleman's purpose is not to pick up people, but to add money.

In fact, Patton is not a normal student, but temporarily came to the Royal Naval College for further study, which is commonly known as the "transfer student", at this time in Dartmouth, there are really few people renting a house, and the whole town is also small and pitiful, sparsely lala hundreds of families, shopping or anything is very inconvenient.

This is also to accompany the study, otherwise Hannah would prefer to live in big cities like London and Plymouths, but the winter in a big British city -

Don't mention it.

"And what do you suggest?" Hannah gradually began to get impatient, and although Hannah liked the house very much, Hannah would not put up with it if the old gentleman wanted to fill it.

"Two more people in the house will add two people, if it is the two of you, then it will be 24 pounds, if it is the four of you—" The old gentleman really asked for money, and he probably wanted to double it.

"How much does it cost four people?" Hannah smirked.

"Fifty pounds!" The old gentleman lion opened his mouth widely, doubling it more than directly.

This is not necessarily, it is estimated that the old gentleman's meaning is still doubled, but the poor mathematical level of the British, it is estimated that this level of calculation is to take a pen to list a formula, mental arithmetic for most people, that is a special ability that only Chinese can master.

"Oh, Mr. Ashkenazi, is fifty pounds too much?" It was only then that Hannah remembered what the surname "Ashkenazi" meant, and he was really good at business.

It's just that this kind of "goodness" is easily disliked, which may also be the reason why a certain ethnic group is not popular in Europe.

Fifty pounds is not a small amount of money for the British, according to last year's statistics, the annual income of an ordinary policeman in Britain is about a little more than fifty pounds, and those who work in the British government are paid less than fifty pounds a year.

"Fifty pounds is not much, a pitiful amount for southern Africans like you, who have always been rich, haven't you?" Ashkenazi's words became more and more unseemly, and Hannah finally lost a smile on her face.

"Can I interpret this as a verbal attack by southern Africans like us, Mr. Ashkenazi?" Hannah is no ordinary southern African, and if Ashkenazi wants to blackmail Hannah, then Ashkenazi has chosen the wrong person.

"Why, I'm praising you, praising the rich southern Africans, we spent billions of pounds during the British World War, and you southern Africa made tens of billions, so fifty pounds is nothing to you." Ashkenazi's words are presumably intended to represent Buckingham Palace in punishing southern Africa for the profiteering of war profits.

But if it's Ashkenazi who makes a lot of war money, then I'm afraid Ashkenazi will be very proud of himself, to put it bluntly, why are you southern Africans who make a fortune -

"Mr. Ashkenazi, you seem to have forgotten that our southern Africa is also part of the British Empire—" Hannah did not want to talk to Ashkenazi anymore, it would be a waste of affection to talk to such a person: "-Then let's terminate the contract, I will no longer rent your house, so as not to affect your chances of renting it at a good price." ”

"Are you going to tear up the contract? Then you have to pay the liquidated damages arising from tearing up the contract! "Ashkenazi feels like Hannah has been settled, and if it were Patton, then Ashkenazi might have been a little more restrained.

No, such people, if they are replaced by anyone, they only have money and money in their eyes, and nothing else, and greed has made them lose their minds.

"It's not that I tore up the contract first, Mr. Ashkenazi, now it's you who want to raise the rent, so it's you who tear up the contract." Hannah argues with reason, as if this kind of person is very good at beating up.

"I said you tore it up, you tore it up, this is Britain, not you southern Africa!" Ashkenazi waved his hand in emphasis, as if he were George V.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, wait for my lawyer's letter." Hannah doesn't talk to idiots, who are best at lowering your IQ to the same level as him and then beating you with his experience.
