Chapter 1

The cold water irritates Harvey's skin. His eyes, mouth and nose are submerged by the water. He struggles to breathe instinctively but chokes again. The disgusting feeling of cold foreign bodies pouring into his stomach makes him at a loss. The rotten smell of stinky ditch stimulates his senses. His head is in a mess. He even doesn't know why he is here.

WOW~

"Cough ~ ~ woo Hoo Hoo Hoo ~"

Harvey felt a tug at his back and finally got out of the stinky river. He gasped, choking his respiratory tract and eyes.

Where am I now?

He moved his body to find that he was tied up by the rope and could not move. The night was dark. He was collapsing on the edge of a river. He had just been fished out of the river and was soaked. When the cold wind came, he shivered and looked around in confusion. He was surrounded by several strong men with fierce faces. He could barely see them by the dim street lamp.

foreigners?

Harvey stammered to say something. A strange memory suddenly appeared in his mind, telling him where he was, who he was, and who these strong men were. Along with the memory, Harvey also had this message in his mind. Harvey had no time to take care of it. After a few breaths, his stomach twitched and spat out the river he had just swallowed and the bread he had eaten for dinner.

"Wow ~ ~"

In front of him, a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman in a black suit was disgusted to cover his nose with a handkerchief. The crutch he held in the other hand touched Harvey's forehead and said slowly, "Dear Mr. Harvey, your loan in our company has been overdue for more than a month. In this month, our company spent a lot of energy to catch you here, When you borrowed money, how did you accept it? As a descendant of the Adrian family, you don't have the spirit of being an aristocrat. It's really a shame. Maybe I should take you to court, where you will be judged fairly. "

Harvey felt better after vomiting, coughed a few times, and struggled to look up at the gentleman dressed middle-aged man: "wait... Wait, Mr. Lester, I need a little more time to collect the money I'm paying you."

——This is the way I just crossed?

Harvey was full of abuse in his heart. In the body of this man named Harvey, his soul came from an ordinary young man on earth. He accepted the memory of the body and understood how it happened. First, the owner of the body was the heir of a declining aristocratic family. Second, he was a dandy who was used to spending money freely, He borrowed money from private banks for his family's property. As a result, he fell into the present situation. After enjoying it, he left all the mess to him, a forced passer-by.

He still has to find a way to solve the dilemma in front of him, otherwise he will suffer in the end.

The gentleman named Lester clenched his crutch and said with disdain, "tell me, how can we make it together? The Adrian family filed for bankruptcy three years ago. Can you put together 30 barons in a period of time? "

"Thirty? I remember borrowing only ten barons from you Ten barons can keep Harvey happy for a while. The average family uses one Baron a month. Thirty barons are a lot of money for ordinary nobles, which makes Harvey unable to accept.

"This is the consequence of your breach of contract and the total amount of energy we spent in looking for you. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the court to file a lawsuit."

Harvey's face was gloomy. He thought about it and gritted his teeth. "OK, but I need time to raise money."

In my memory, the contract signed by the owner of the body is indeed overdue several times. Is he a pig!? The world's laws are not perfect enough to regulate lending.

Lester nodded to the next few thugs. When Harvey was in trouble, he was caught by the thugs and punched heavily in the stomach.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah"

With the pain and suffocation coming from his abdomen, he fell down on the floor and gasped. Leicester, dressed as a gentleman, pressed his crutch on the back of his hand and pressed it with a slight force. He sneered and said, "Mr. Adrian, do you want to use the same trick on us again? Unfortunately, there are only two options. Maybe you can choose to sell your maid or wait for the court to decide

There are two options. In fact, the latter one is intimidation. For Harvey Adrian himself, a former aristocrat who was sued by the bank is expected to become a laughing stock of the upper class. For Harvey, who has always maintained a noble style, it is impossible to accept the option. Now Harvey doesn't care about reputation, but he's not stupid enough to choose this option.

Harvey breathed difficultly. After a while, he looked up at the indifferent gentleman and said in a diffident tone: "I'm sorry, I can't choose either of these two options. Mr. Leicester can choose to drown me here or wait for a while. I promise that I will prepare 30 barons to pay off the debt."

Leicester was a little surprised. He looked down at the tender young nobleman in front of him. He thought he would throw him into the river and submerge him. After a few words of threat, he would sell the maid to offset his loan. Looking at Harvey's firm eyes, he laughed and nodded to the thugs nearby. Next, Harvey was beaten by thugs in turn. He curled up silently, covered his head with his hands and endured the pain.

The thug obviously often does this matter, starts the hand to know the propriety, did not salute to the body's vital point.

Harvey was beaten as a sandbag for several minutes, and Lester asked again, "so Mr. Adrian, have you changed your mind?"

Harvey shook his head and refused. He looked directly at the gentleman and said, "well, Mr. Leicester, although the Adrian family has declined, you should know that we are still part of the society. In the name of the Adrian family, I just need a little time. It's more valuable to you than a corpse. "

The so-called social contact refers to the upper class. Harvey's words have the meaning of guarantee and threat. The Adrian family has declined, but no one knows what kind of deep-rooted relationship this ancient family will have. If things go wrong, people who once had a relationship with the Adrian family will suffer if they feel a little upset about it.

Harvey is the only one who understands the truth. The rules of the upper class are very cruel. The Adrian family is a member of the eliminated family and has no status at all.

RAST's face was uncertain. He came up to Harvey and warned, "well, we'll give you another month. If you can't get 30 pieces of balun in one month, we'll formally file a lawsuit to the court and ask for ten times of the amount. I hope you can understand the interest in it."

With that, he ordered his men to untie the rope on Harvey and leave here.

At this time, Harvey was able to relax. He staggered to a wall, sat down and looked around. There were old buildings in Victorian style. They were angular, Gothic, Renaissance or Greek. They looked very delicate and beautiful. The glass windows lit up the river that had just submerged him. The river was muddy, He was sick at the thought of just a few drinks.
