21: Intelligence refresh, the cunning rabbit has three burrows

At the same time.

At Litton's house, after Ron, Lisa, and Litton finished dinner.

Ron played with Lisa for a while, then said his goodbyes, and returned to his room with a pot of hot water.

After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Ron took out something from his embrace: half a bottle of nutrient paste.

"Although this room is less than ten meters from the main building."

"But Litton and Lisa live on the second floor, and are polite people, so they won't easily disturb my privacy."

"Therefore, as long as I don't make too much noise, this is a good place to cultivate in peace."

Ron's lips curved into a satisfied smile.

When he left in the morning, he had intentionally divided his existing belongings in the stone house.

He considered it very carefully; if today's plan went smoothly, then this stone house could be used as a backup safe house.

If something went wrong, he could run back directly and make other plans.

Ron left all the cheap items like the iron pot and food.

As for the coins and nutrient paste, they were each divided in half.

One portion was carried with him, and the other was hidden under the bed in the stone house, at the innermost bed leg against the wall.

This location was very concealed; even if someone else discovered this stone house.

Unless they were extremely bored and decided to crawl under the bed, they would definitely not find these items.

"Starting tomorrow, under the guise of being Litton's assistant."

"I can openly walk around Hibo Town."

"I can even go to Kula City and find a way to redeem my sister..."

Ron's eyes narrowed. Although he had only transmigrated half a month ago and had never met his predecessor's sister.

However, if it weren't for her selling herself into slavery to get four silver coins for his predecessor.

Then even if he had activated the system, he would have struggled to survive until now.

Therefore, Ron acknowledged this favor and had never forgotten the matter of redeeming Alice.

However, the indenture Alice signed was very harsh.

To redeem her, he not only needed to pay ten times the selling price, but also had to do so within three years.

If the three-year limit was exceeded, the price would continue to double, with no upper limit.

Currently, Ron did have two gold coins, which he could use at the Exchange to buy her back.

But the problem was, he currently had no house or property. How could he explain the source of these two gold coins?

You know, Barto and Mirar were still keeping an eye on him!

"I'm sorry, Alice, bear with it for now. I will definitely become a Knight as soon as possible and rescue you!"

Ron's gaze was firm, and his fists were clenched.

He knew that only by becoming a Knight and possessing great power.

Could he break free from restraints and redeem Alice.

Therefore, Ron stopped overthinking. After brewing the nutrient potion with hot water, he assumed a stance and began to cultivate.

Because his Wild Wolf Breathing Technique was highly proficient, even though his punches and kicks were wide and flowing, they did not make much noise.

As time passed, the blood mist in his chest, full of vitality, became increasingly dense, as if it was about to condense into raindrops.

Until the early hours of the morning, Litton and Lisa had long fallen asleep, but Ron remained diligent and hardworking, without any slack.

Suddenly, Ron stopped his movements, and a prompt appeared in his mind.

"Ding! Today's intelligence is as follows—"

"1. After Barto met Mirar yesterday, he was preoccupied and anxious. He secretly resolved to make two plans for this."

"2. Barto decided that if Nem could invite Doctor Gavin today to cure his injuries, he would continue to serve the nobles of Kura City. Otherwise, he would leave his last words, entrusting all his family property and hidden gold to Nem and Lola."

"3. Barto has four types of industries, namely — click to expand. He has three locations for hidden gold, namely — click to expand."

"4. Mirar and Barto's slave industry essentially serves the nobles of Kura City. Due to an insufficient number of qualified slaves, they have decided to risk forcing you and more free people into slavery."

"5. Due to rumors of wild magical beasts, Nem was unable to return by night yesterday and therefore stayed at an inn in Kura City. He will return to Hibo Town this morning."

"6. After receiving your letter yesterday, Poke went to Grace's house to discuss strategy, planning to kill Barto. However, he was caught off guard and fatally stabbed in the back by Grace. His body is buried under a tree in Grace's courtyard."

"7. To prevent Grace from refusing, Poke made prior arrangements, renting a room and a carriage at an inn and hiding his property in the room. The specific location is as follows — click to expand."

"8. After receiving notification from his sister, Grace, Gevas will return from his wild patrol this morning to jointly discuss how to dispose of Poke's body and the plan to kill Barto."

"9. Litton has made all preparations and will submit his resignation to Barto tomorrow, with his private clinic officially opening the day after tomorrow."

"10. Members of the Thieves' Guild in Kura City have located the collected items in the Grand Cathedral of Kura City."

Ron concentrated, beginning to examine the intelligence word by word.

"Hmm? Barto's industries and hidden gold locations?"

After reading the first three pieces of intelligence, Ron's heart stirred, and he quickly clicked to expand.

Among them, Barto had four types of industries.

They were large farmlands outside the town, some rental properties within the town, several trading shops in which he held shares, and finally, the clandestine slave trade.

Ron merely glanced at the detailed information of these industries and then paid no further attention.

The reason was simple: no matter what industry it was, he couldn't get his hands on it, so there was no need to look further.

However, he did thoroughly read about Barto's hidden gold locations.

There were three hidden gold locations: one in a small secret room in Barto's study, one in an uninhabited small courtyard in the Commoner District, and one in an unregistered safe deposit box at a bank in Kura City.

"This old fox really has three cunning burrows, leaving so many contingencies?"

Ron's lips curled upwards. Barto was indeed an old slave owner; the three hidden gold locations combined contained over a hundred gold coins!

And besides the gold coins, there were also other items of considerable value.

"What a pity, Barto, you're about to die."

"What's the use of all the money and property you've exploited before?"

Ron sneered, then pondered how he could get his hands on this hidden gold after Barto's death.

After a while, once Ron had formulated his plan, he looked down.

As a result, when he saw the fourth piece of intelligence, his expression involuntarily changed slightly.

"Wait, Barto, that old bastard, is almost dead, and he still won't let me go?"

Ron's gaze turned cold, murderous intent emerged in his heart, and a surge of malevolence spontaneously arose.

"Since that's the case, I'll just have to send you on your way sooner..."
