The male supporting character was actually myself.

“I will take over the gangs around the Sentis River as soon as possible.” Joyce nodded and said softly, “I’ll try to do it by next Saturday.”

The series of victories coincided with April's birthday.

The Irving family had a lively and wonderful day.

By Wednesday noon, Joyce's informant reported that Bella had left the Finnan port area by carriage.

The person in charge of tracking them didn't return until evening.

Bella went to the Yabua Supermarket in the city center.

It was trading day, and the place was packed with people. They quickly lost track of them and could only hold onto a few exits.

Half an hour later, Bella came out from the south gate, went around to the confessional of the Crossroads Cathedral and stayed there for half an hour. After that, she ate and drank coffee and did not return until evening.

However, since there were no opportunities to take advantage of these places, the tracking personnel could not get close and could not find out who she met or where she met them.

"Oliver is really difficult to deal with!" Joyce frowned in thought.

They must have a secret code for meeting.

Oliver could not possibly set foot on the Irving family's territory;

Bella has stayed here all the time except for today when she took the day off.

How exactly did they connect?

Did they arrange in advance which day of the week and where to meet?

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Little White Cat's Stalking

While Joyce was completely baffled, Jiang Chen lay on the sofa listening to the little white cat's excited tale.

"Luckily I followed that blonde girl! I saw the main characters' group, they were no match for them." The little white cat took a bite of dried fish and muttered, "They can't just sit on her shoulder and follow like I can."

Bella and Oliver met at the Yabuya Supermarket.

After she went inside, she hid in a flower shop and easily shook off her pursuers by going out the back door.

Then, wearing a hat and veil, she chatted with Oliver for a short while in a small grocery store.

Oliver inquired about the progress of the arms investigation;

He then asked Bella about a chestnut horse.

She clearly knew nothing, and Oliver told her to investigate as soon as possible and to pass on the information using the old method once she had any.

Then the two of them separated.

I thought about it for a moment, then followed Oliver out of the store and wandered around until we finally ended up in a very quiet courtyard.

The little white cat munched on dried fish while searching the map with its paws. After a moment, it pointed to the edge of the Lehrkas district and said, "This is it!"

I remember it clearly: there was a dock a short distance east of his residence.

That's what the words above look like!

Jiang Chen marked the outermost dock of the Lerkas district with his pen. "Any other news?"

"Yes, yes, although I don't know what Bella and Oliver used to pass messages," the little white cat said smugly, "but I know who sent him!"

Before I came back, Oliver wrote a letter.

He wrote and read it aloud in a low voice, so I could hear him clearly.

The letter was addressed to a man named Eric Taylor, and it essentially said that a suspect had been found, but he was being hampered by the mob and was severely understaffed, needing additional manpower from Taylor.

“Eric Taylor.” Jiang Chen drew a line on the map with his pen.

The Owen family's sphere of influence is located in the Finnan port district of Sentis;

Sentis, on the other hand, belongs to Ammastershire, and Eric is currently the representative of Ammastershire.

In other words, when internal strife leads to the division of the country.

Eric quickly seized power in Amherst County, taking control of the weapons factories, incorporating the police, and decimating the troops due to the war, becoming the local tyrant of the hill.

“Oliver has sided with him.” He quickly glanced through the script.

Aside from the fact that he himself will die this week while protecting the protagonist, only Joyce's future remains unchanged.

All the others died in a gang shootout three months later.

The character list is 100% unlocked, and the story exploration is 60% complete.

It seems we need to eliminate the hidden dangers, otherwise the Owen family will be left with only the protagonist as their sole heir.

"The main character is perfectly fine, but his ability to bring misfortune to his friends and family is a bit too strong," the little white cat complained, washing its face with its paws.

Jiang Chen carefully examined the details of each character and casually said, "It's all for the sake of the plot."

How can the protagonist accumulate rage points without losing several teammates?

How to advance the plot?

How to portray the protagonist's rich life experiences and dramatic ups and downs?

Besides, it is only when others die due to various mistakes that the protagonist's meticulousness, intelligence, and resourcefulness are highlighted.

Do you see Joyce now, besides not being able to die, does he also have a clear protagonist's halo?

April can regulate the emotions of the whole family;

The Susanna sisters manage the finances;

Ed and I were in charge of the fighting and killing;

Benson handles all sorts of trivial matters;

Lily and Edmund have taken the first step toward clearing their names.

Our protagonist, aside from discussing transaction calculations, horse racing arrangements, and keeping an eye on the overall situation within the underworld, basically has nothing else to worry about.

"Oh right, but I still prefer the atmosphere of the whole family together." The little white cat lazily licked its paws and said goodbye to its host. "I have to keep an eye on Bella now. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Goodnight, love you!

(づ￣3￣)づ”

The fluffy little dumpling skipped away, and Jiang Chen turned to his own page in the script, his finger resting on the last line of text as he fell into deep thought.

Thursday was another beautiful and pleasant day.

Oliver sat comfortably in the sun, waiting for a reply.

The environment here is nice, quiet and safe.

Not far away is a small dock, which is convenient to enter and exit by water, and there is not much noise from loading and unloading cargo.

At most, nearby merchants occasionally deliver some supplies; there aren't many other people around.

In your free time, you can go fishing by the river or take a walk.

If it weren't for the upsetting incident of losing the weapons, I might have already risen through the ranks thanks to my previous work experience and secured a good job in Amherst County, enjoying a comfortable life.

Thinking about his predicament, Oliver touched the scars on his face and decided to go for a walk to clear his head.

He put on his hat and scarf, took a modified cane, and slowly walked towards the river.

Not long after Oliver left, several burly men who had been secretly observing him swaggered into the courtyard of his rented house, stood together smoking and whispering.

Occasionally, someone would pass by and glance at them, only to be glared back fiercely. Once they estimated that the time was about right, the burly men would shout and leave.

While Oliver was out for a walk and lunch in the afternoon, several more burly men came over. In the eyes of other residents and business owners, this new tenant with a terrifying scar on his face was closely associated with a group of people who looked like gang members.

He's always either running to the dock or observing something along the riverbank, whispering and acting suspiciously. He's definitely not a decent person!

Oliver quickly noticed the strange looks from the surrounding residents, but they seemed afraid of getting into trouble and would immediately look away when he looked over.

Even when asked, almost no one dared to answer.

“Daniel, this is all your doing!” He saw the fear on the faces of the others and attributed it all to the horrifying scar on his face.

Oliver made up his mind to move to a new place as soon as he received a reply!

Early Friday morning, Jiang Chen and Ed led a group of men carrying two machine guns and easily took down two small gangs that were severely weakened by internal strife.

"Oh no, host!"

Just past noon, the group that had been organizing and reorganizing were resting after eating and drinking their fill when the little white cat suddenly rushed over in alarm and cried out, "Anderson suddenly sent someone to invite Joyce, and he left with Bella by car at eleven o'clock!"

I'm not familiar with this area, and it took me a long time to find you.

Didn't we agree on Saturday?

Why the sudden change of heart?

Jiang Chen rolled over and sat up, startling Ed who was next to her. "What's wrong? Did you burn your butt?"

"I just remembered something urgent and I need to go back. Are you alright?"

Ed tossed him the car keys, muttering, "You're such a hotshot, all talk and no action. What's the rush that you only think of now? I'm not like you, you brat. Leave this to me."

"Drive carefully, or you'll be responsible for cleaning it up!"

The car roared and disappeared around the corner. Ed shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, controlling the overall situation still depends on me, the boss."

He's so reckless, he can't even drive steadily..."

After informing its host, the little white cat perched on his shoulder and scratched him alternately with its two paws, asking, "Host, will the protagonist be alright?"

"The script only stated that the protagonist would be ambushed this week, but it didn't specify which day of the week. I was too careless." Jiang Chen drove towards Anderson's villa.

The little white cat had never been there before and didn't know the way.

He kept checking the time as he drove, hoping he could make it in time. If he really couldn't get there immediately, he would have to use an A-level item after the mission was issued.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mr. Jones's Taste

The weather was beautiful; Anderson's magnificent villa looked even more luxurious under the blue sky and white clouds than at night.

In the far distance, there is a wide, shimmering riverbank and a dark green pine forest;

The neatly manicured lawn stretches from the front of the villa to the pine forest, wide enough for a horse race.
