Chapter 82 Aspirations

"Today I, I'm paying wages."

When Lin En came to the bar, his face was flushed, and his demeanor had lost the shrewdness and confidence of the past, and he looked a little shy and silly. The smile on the beautiful boy's face seemed to have never been polluted by any worldly age, with primitive innocence and beauty.

Sophia couldn't help but frowned when she saw Lin En, who seemed to be drunk.

"Hey, help me watch."

She asked the female worker beside her to help her watch the bar, and then among the lively and cheerful customers, Sophia grabbed Lin En's hand and took him to the back door.

As soon as he went out of the back door, the hustle and bustle in the bar was isolated.

The big sister pressed Lin En to sit on the steps without courtesy, and then turned around and went in to get a large glass of cold water. She sprinkled some water on her hands, and then patted Lin En's face.

After several times, Lin En grabbed Sophia's hand.

His green eyes looked unusually bright under the light of the moth moon, without the chaos and confusion of a drunkard.

"I'm not drunk."

"Every drunk customer who takes the opportunity to touch a girl's butt says he's not drunk." Sophia said a little unhappily. She has worked here for a long time, so of course she can tell whether a person is really drunk or just using drunkenness as an excuse to do something.

Lin En didn't rush to speak.

He asked Sophia to sit down, and he took out his wallet. When the brand new gold pound shone with a charming red ink luster under the moonlight, Lin En smiled and burped, and then stuffed it into Sophia's hand.

"Today's drinking party with my colleagues, I'll pay for it. In addition, I'll give you half of the rest, and the rest..."

Lin En hadn't finished his chattering, and Sophia couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Lin, I know you have a good job, and I think you should have a decent life, but now is not the time for you to be the son of a wealthy businessman, right? You have to be thrifty and prepare for your future life. Do you know how much money you will spend in the future?"

"Hehe, Sofia heard that I..."

"Let me calculate it for you. The property fee in the central city, the daily expenses you need to maintain a decent life, the salaries of servants, housekeepers, and tutors, the expenses of banquets and donations, without these, you have no way to make connections. Those gentlemen need to be stylish to get in touch with them." Sofia became more and more excited. She kept thinking about what Lin needed to go back to the past. She knew better than Lin that a quarter of a penny needed to be carefully calculated.

"Calm down, calm down, Sofia!" Lin grabbed her hands.

"Huh..."

The big sister took a deep breath, and the peaks on her chest also swelled several points with her inhalation, highlighting a different momentum than before, as if she was going to run over Lin.

Realizing that Sophia was getting serious, Lin En spoke up before she got even more upset.

"It won't take two weeks for me to get 10 pounds a week."

Sophia was stunned.

The rising aura on her body seemed to be frozen, and her emerald eyes were full of doubts, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?" A clerk who has only worked for a week is going to get a raise. What kind of fantasy novel plot is this? Is Lin En lucky?

"Really! I'm going to be promoted soon. Um, there are some confidentiality regulations that I can't tell you, but I'll have 10 pounds a week soon. I'm sure it will be over soon because I did something myself." After the peace conference, Lin En's promotion report will be submitted, and his treatment will naturally change.

Lin En's eyes were shining with excitement.

He pulled Sophia and wrote and drew on her palm with his fingers, telling her that he had made some plans. With a weekly salary of 10 pounds, he would definitely save money to start a business in addition to spending, just like his father did to open a factory. Lynn could fully foresee that with the advent of peace, Albion would definitely vigorously revitalize the economy, and its market was large enough for those who participated in it to make a lot of money.

Sophia was still immersed in the news that Lynn was about to receive a weekly salary of 10 pounds. She felt that all this was too easy and too simple, and seemed very unrealistic.

However, when she saw the confidence on Lynn's handsome face, she suddenly realized that Lynn must have made great efforts for this goal.

Somewhat moved, Sophia realized that the goal she pinned on Lynn was too strong.

"In fact... it's okay not to be like Mr. Moritia."

The eldest sister lowered her head and murmured with some shame. She felt sorry for Lynn for working so hard for her goal. In fact, what she really wanted was for Lynn to live happily.

That was the expectation they had made for each other in childhood.

"How can that be? I want to take back everything my father lost." Lynn said without thinking. With the continuous improvement of his life prospects, he gave birth to some small goals in addition to his original big goals. "One day, I want this city to know that Lynn Moriarty has a promising future, and this name will be engraved on the mechanical clock tower."

The mechanical clock tower is the landmark building of [Steam City].

The names of those who have made outstanding contributions to this city will be engraved on the huge dial. In this alley where no one cares, Lynn made a promise to her sister with high spirits.

"Mechanical clock tower, ha, I remember we went up together when we were young..." Sophia looked at Lynn writing and drawing seriously on her hands, and she softened her whole person.

Sophia couldn't help but reach out and touch the temples of Lin En's neat hair.

"When you have a promising future, I will be your lover and promise to take care of all the trivial matters for you, so that you can climb up without any worries." Sophia's eyes flashed with hope.

"Okay, then not only will I buy you a house, but I will also invest in you to become a nun in a monastery. I will run a charity in the downtown area, so that you can do what you have always wanted to do, and let those little bastards who steal chickens and dogs on the street have the opportunity to go to school!"

Lin En has entered the stage of talking nonsense.

Hearing that Sophia wanted to be his mistress, he thought she was talking nonsense like himself, and the alcohol in his stomach began to take effect, and he was a little confused when he spoke.

The joy of success must be shared by someone.

Lin En is very lucky. Although he has suffered misfortune, he is not alone. There are always people by his side, and the number is gradually increasing. Those will be his family and friends.

That night, Lin En talked a lot with Sophia in the back alley of the bar. He also drank a lot of wine with her company. In the end, he even forgot what he said, but he only knew that it was a very happy vision. Finally, in a happy softness, Lin En was drunk. In a daze, Lin En felt that he was back to the soft big bed in the spacious rental room.

It seemed that someone was touching his face, itchy and warm.

In such a peaceful and happy situation, Lin En fell into a deep dream, and the bizarre starry light enveloped him again. In a trance, Lin En seemed to hear the Black Holy Grail humming a song before the time travel, which was a heavenly sound, with a little sadness and infinite longing.

Lynn Moriarty, a small step closer to the goal of returning home.
