167 Rent, chance encounter

Owen hung up the phone and started browsing the information. He quickly selected a few suitable places, which were not far from CTU and Zilin Road, and the prices were not too expensive.

Owen has a resolute character. Since he told his mother yesterday and her mother agreed, Owen is planning to move out today.

After contacting the agent, Irving drove out and looked at several houses but was not satisfied with them. Irving crossed out another option with a pen and looked at the list. Only the last one was left.

After contacting the landlord, Owen drove there and arrived at the place quickly.

The landlord was a middle-aged couple, and it was his wife who came to receive Irving. After Irving followed the landlord in, he looked around and found that the house seemed pretty good.

The house is not big, with one bedroom and one living room. It is an old house, about 40 square meters, with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The surrounding area is also quite quiet, and this is an old city, and most of the surrounding residents are white. The public security

Not bad, but the price is a bit expensive.

After hesitating for a while, Irving decided to rent this place. After signing a contract with the landlord on the spot and paying part of the deposit, Irving got the key.

The landlady asked Owen not to change the layout of the room arbitrarily and was about to leave. Of course, Owen readily agreed. He would only sleep here at most, and he would not spend too much time here.

Probably because he was in a good mood after receiving the money, the landlady kindly gave Owen a business card to a pizza shop before leaving, saying that it was a nearby restaurant that tasted good and also provided takeout service. If Owen was too lazy to cook, he could order this.

.

Owen expressed his thanks and sent the landlord away. He turned around and looked at the cabin again. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Well, now he finally has his own nest.

The house had not been lived in for a while and there was some dust. After Owen briefly cleaned it with the tools he had, the house looked much cleaner.

Owen went out again to buy simple bedding, and then went home and brought some changes of clothes. His luggage was very simple, and he could pack it all in one suitcase.

It was already past noon when all the work was finished, but actually the efficiency was still very high. Irving looked at four houses all morning before finally choosing this one. After cleaning and shopping, I finally got it done.

After missing the meal, Owen decided to try the business card the landlord left for him and order takeout.

Soon, a seafood pizza was delivered. Irving finished the pizza in a few seconds. It seemed to taste pretty good.

Now that there was nothing in the house, Owen decided to go out and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Without driving, he just walked around on his legs. There were cake shops, coffee shops, barber shops, gun shops, gyms, and a large supermarket three kilometers away.

The facilities near this old community are quite complete, making daily life relatively convenient.

Owen was walking casually on the road, and a gym in front of him called "Muscle Storm" attracted his attention. Because the gym's advertising pictures were very distinctive.

The picture in the advertisement shows a muscular white man roaring, but what attracts him mainly is the slogan below the picture - reading is to calmly talk to idiots, and working out is to allow idiots to talk to you calmly.

.

Hahaha, this gym is quite interesting. Owen decided to go in and have a look. He changed his residence and needed a place to exercise. It only takes ten minutes to walk from his residence, so it is quite suitable.

As soon as he approached the gym, he heard a lot of noise inside. There seemed to be some competition going on inside. No one greeted him. Even the receptionist at the front desk was watching the fun.

Owen followed the sound and walked inside, and saw a group of people forming a circle. There seemed to be a competition going on in the circle, and people kept cheering next to him.

"Larry, come on, you monster, hahaha, you succeeded, this is 160 kilograms..."

The heavy object fell to the ground with a "bang", and Owen noticed that a huge barbell was thrown to the ground. There were an exaggeratedly thick stack of barbell plates installed on both ends of the barbell. No wonder some people said it was a monster.

In the middle of the venue, a Hispanic guy roared like a monster. He was obviously Larry the Monster. This guy was muscular, with a shockingly low body fat percentage, and the blood vessels on his body were bulging out like earthworms.

What is the concept of shoulder pressing 160 kilograms? Irving himself exerted all his strength to shoulder pressing 90 kilograms. This man's pressing strength is almost twice that of Irving.

You must know that Irving also works out regularly. If he were an ordinary person, he would be more than three times as likely as them.

A monster, indeed a monster.

Owen was still sighing when someone over there shouted.

"Harry, Harry, teach him a lesson..."

Larry's opponent obviously has his own fans. He is not surprised by the amazing result of 160 kilograms and is still clamoring next to him.

"Ah~~~"

There was a roar from the other end, and a strong man lifted a barbell in one breath. This barbell was equally exaggerated, and the metal rod in the middle was slightly deformed by the heavy barbell plates at both ends.

After holding on for a few seconds, there was another "bang" sound, and the heavy barbell hit the ground and trembled.

"Hahaha, 165 kilograms, how about it? Are you still dissatisfied? Hahaha, you will definitely lose..."

"No, no, no, you can't take pictures. You know the rules. We, Harry, don't want to be a big star."

The person who spoke probably noticed that someone was taking pictures and started to stop him. The girl at the front desk who was watching also helped to stop him. Those who were stopped did not complain. Apparently everyone accepted this fact.

At this time, Owen looked at the man who spoke and Harry who was lifting weights in surprise. He actually knew these two people. Well, to be precise, they should have met each other.

The two of them hadn't noticed Irving in the crowd. Those who had taken out their mobile phones to take pictures all took them back angrily. Some people muttered dissatisfiedly: "Simon, you are wasting resources. You should be Harry's agent. Harry

With such strength, it is easy to become famous, and Harry will be a big star by then..."

"Come on, do you know how innocent our Harry is? It's more economical for us to make a little money occasionally. If we send him to Hollywood, he will be eaten by those Hollywood bitches, hahaha~~~"

Simon's dirty jokes immediately aroused everyone's laughter, and no one bothered about taking pictures anymore. The losers happily handed over their US dollars, and the amount was not large, up to 10 US dollars. Obviously, their bet was

It's all a joke too.

When Simon came in front of Owen, he was stunned. He obviously recognized Owen, but he immediately winked and pretended not to recognize Owen, and shouted to the reception girl who was watching the fun: "Rachel, we have a guest.

You don’t know how to say hello, I think your boss should deduct your salary..."

Owen looked at Simon curiously. Since he pretended not to know him, Owen did not rush up to recognize them.

The reception girl who was not doing her job heard Simon's shouting and finally saw Owen in the crowd. Among these muscular men with big pants and vests, Owen's ordinary clothes seemed a bit unusual.

"Oh, sir, is this your first time here? Please come here and let me introduce our gym to you."

The girl at the reception immediately started selling her gym hard, "Our gym is very good. This is the equipment area and this is the fighting area. We have complete facilities. There is a discount for applying for a card today. Do you want..."

Owen was very interested and didn't expect to meet these two people here. Harry and Simon just now were the two CIA who came to seek cooperation during the Qisi Island incident, but CTU had just been deceived by Ethan at that time and was very fond of CIA.

Unhappy, the two took the blame for Ethan.

Simon had clearly recognized him just now but pretended not to know him. Obviously they usually had different identities, otherwise Simon wouldn't have given him a wink.

"Of course, but I want to ask, who were the two people who competed just now?"

"Oh, you are talking about Larry and Harry. They are our members and come here to exercise often. If you also become a member here, you can see them here often."

Owen glanced at the receptionist speechlessly. Those two guys with muscles all over their bodies were not beauties. I still hope to see them more often. This girl went a little too far for performance.

But Irving still asked: "Oh, what do they do, I mean profession, are they fitness instructors here?"

This time the receptionist girl was stunned when she was asked. She really wanted to say yes, but she couldn't lie. She could only tell the truth: "Well, that's not true. Larry is a construction worker and Harry is a gift salesman.

, but they often come to our place for fitness, almost several times a week..."

The little girl didn't give up her last glimmer of hope. She seemed to have decided that Owen was interested in them and spared no effort to promote them.

Owen found it a little funny that Harry was actually a salesman.

"Okay, get me a card."

The receptionist almost jumped up with joy, "Thank you so much. Today is my first day at work. You are my first customer since I started working. Thank you very much..."

Owen had a black line on his forehead. His first client? His first day at work? He seemed to have been tricked.

"It's your first day at work, so how do you know they come here often?"

"Well……"

The receptionist showed a naive smile.
