Two days later, Ronan rented an apartnt three kiloters away from the Higher Police Academy of the Kingdom.
The reason it took so long was that rental housing in the surrounding area was incredibly scarce, making it very difficult to find a suitable place. He only managed to secure one by entrusting a real estate agent.
This two-bedroom apartnt costs Ronan a hefty monthly rent of 12 gold pounds and 5 silver coins!
This monthly rent is even higher than the monthly salary of a higher-ranked police officer in Lande City.
In fact, there were cheaper houses available, but Ronan didn’t care for them at all. Although he isn’t very particular about living conditions, there’s no need to compromise when he has so much wealth.
With the proof of military rit provided by Colonel Gordon Wardhouse, Ronan smoothly received two generous rewards from the military, totaling over forty thousand gold pounds.
So although the housing prices in Seles are extrely high, he wouldn’t have any problem renting a small villa if he wanted to.
However, considering future large expenses, Ronan chose to temporarily stay in this not-so-large but well-located apartnt with a decent environnt and decoration.
He didn’t have much luggage, so after signing the contract with the landlord, he moved right in.
Of course, so daily necessities still needed to be purchased separately.
After a lot of fuss, Ronan finally settled down in the largest and most bustling city of the Kingdom of Invia.

Hei wandered around the apartnt room and then comfortably sprawled on the sofa in the living room.
It was evidently quite satisfied with this new ho.
Ronan felt it was pretty good too.
The apartnt is only about forty to fifty square ters, but it’s cleverly divided into a bedroom, study, living room, and bathroom, with all the necessary furniture like a bed, desk, sofa, and wardrobe. The decor is simple but cozy, very suitable for a single person to live in.
There’s no kitchen, and the landlord doesn’t allow tenants to cook with open flas in the apartnt.
But you can order als from the manager.
"Let’s go."
Ronan patted Hei on the head and said, "Let’s go have a good al."
Earlier, he specifically asked the apartnt manager and found out there are plenty of restaurants nearby, offering cuisines from all over the kingdom. As long as you’ve got gold pounds, you can eat a different dish every day for a long ti.
Hei affectionately rubbed against Ronan’s arm, then jumped down to the floor and followed him out of the room.
Just as Ronan was closing the door, he keenly sensed a gaze from behind.
But when Ronan turned around, he only saw the tightly closed door of his neighbor across the hall.
This apartnt building has a total of five floors, arranged in two elevators and four units—naturally, a staircase.
Ronan rented room 404, with 403 as his neighbor, and the other two units were on the other side of the corridor.
Not paying it much mind, he took Hei downstairs to find sothing to eat.
And to get familiar with the surrounding environnt.
The recomndation from the apartnt manager was indeed quite trustworthy; there are several dozen restaurants in the surrounding area, big and small.
In one of the mid-level restaurants, Ronan had a dinner that cost 1 gold pound and 2 silver coins.
The taste of the main course and dishes was acceptable, but it seed like gold pounds had significantly depreciated in Seles; living here costs much more than in Lande City.
After eating, Ronan bought two sandwiches and grilled sausages at a roadside stall for breakfast the next day.
Undoubtedly, the food from the street vendor was much more cost-effective.
He also bought a few boxes of cigarettes, giving one to the apartnt manager upon returning.
The apartnt manager is responsible for all kinds of fees and also acts as a security guard and porter. He’s tall, burly, and has a good personality.
It’s necessary to establish a good relationship with him.
After all, Ronan plans to live here for at least a year.
As he brought Hei back to the fourth floor, just as he took out his key to open the door, he once again sensed the peering gaze from behind.
Ronan quickly turned around, imdiately spotting the neighbor’s door slightly ajar with a four or five-year-old girl secretly peeking out from behind.
Bam!
As soon as she realized her spying had been discovered, she nervously shut the door.
A curious little girl.
Ronan chuckled quietly.
He stood at his door for a mont, and as expected, the neighbor’s door slowly opened again.
"Hello."
Ronan didn’t wait for her to open the door again. He smiled and said, "I’m Ronan Raymond, the tenant who just moved in today."
Being neighbors on the sa floor, running into each other is inevitable. It’s best to get to know each other to avoid misunderstandings as a shady character.
The little girl, who was about to close the door, hesitated when she heard Ronan’s gentle voice, then opened the door a bit wider and said timidly, "Hello, Mr. Raymond, I’m Janice Toran."
"Nice to et you, Miss Toran."
Ronan asked with a smile, "Are your parents at ho?"
Thinking of getting to know his neighbors, he was surprised when the little girl shook her head: "My mom isn’t back yet."
Ronan was surprised: "You’re ho alone?"
Janice pursed her lips, looking a bit sad and lost: "Yes."
Suddenly, her stomach made a strange grumbling noise.
The little girl’s face instantly turned red!
Ronan couldn’t help but shake his head, then offered the food bag containing the sandwiches and grilled sausages: "Miss Toran, this is the dinner I just bought. Would you mind sharing it with ?"
Judging by the little girl’s clothing and deanor, she seed to have co from a small noble family. She only ntioned her mother, not her father, suggesting a single-parent household.
But for the mother to be out so late, leaving the little girl ho alone is quite irresponsible.
At the very least, shouldn’t there be so food at ho?
"Thank you."
Faced with the food bag offered to her, Janice instinctively swallowed but then shook her head, saying, "But Mom said not to eat food from strangers."
"But I’m not a stranger..."
Ronan smiled and said, "I’m your neighbor Ronan Raymond."
The little girl’s brain seed to freeze for a mont.
"Who are you, and what do you want to do?"
At this mont, an angry and frightened voice suddenly resounded.
The next mont, a figure raced up from the staircase: "Stay away from my daughter!"
Ronan stepped back two paces, watching as the woman rushed to the door, shielding Janice Toran behind her, and glaring at him angrily.
This was a beautiful lady.
She seed to be around twenty years old, wearing a plain white lady’s dress, with light golden curls and fair skin. Her bright eyes and sparkling teeth were exceptionally attractive.
However, her expression at the mont was rather fierce, like an enraged female beast.
"Mom."
Before Ronan could speak, Janice Toran tugged at the hem of the beautiful lady’s dress and said weakly, "This is our new neighbor, Mr. Ronan Raymond, and he wants to share dinner with ."
"Mr. Ronan Raymond is a good person."
