Chapter 133: Earl Hall's Proposal

£10,000...... Audrey blinked, showing her surprise with a subtle change in expression.

Without her opening her mouth to ask, Count Hall sensed her doubts and laughed:

"This is a very knowledgeable person, and some of his ideas have inspired me and resonated with me a little, and besides, I can't ignore suffering because it is objectively present and difficult to really solve for a long time. ”

Audrey vaguely understood her father's words, but felt that she did not understand clearly enough, nodded slightly, took out her cheque book from the handbag that matched the dress, and wrote down the amount of 1,000 pounds.

It was a charity gala, and it was held in the chapel wing, so there would be no dancing, no extravagant arrangements, no valet and maids with them, only simple self-help and more or less donations, and the ladies would no doubt bring their own bags.

After the guests put the cheques into the offering boxes, they went to the long tables on both sides to get drinks or simple food, and walked back and forth in the hall to communicate with others and no longer sit down.

It's closer to a buffet.

Klein followed Bishop Elektra to the side of Sage Anthony and was introduced to the senior of the Church of the Night.

St. Anthony smiled in response to Daun Dantès's greeting, looked at him and said:

"Very well, we are proud to have believers like you.

"The Goddess taught us that character is more important than status, so you are a noble enough gentleman. ”

Frankly speaking, when facing this sage, Klein was a little drumming in his heart, because the gods or extraordinary beings who were related to the "fate" realm could see the gray mist aura on his body, for example, the whole of the "monster" path, for example, the "goddess of the night" who held the doom, and if St. Anthony was a high-level member of the "Sleepless" path and had mastered the extraordinary ability of doom, then it had to be said that he did have a certain probability that he could see that there was something wrong with Dhorn Dantès.

For this reason, before Klein came to this charity gala, he went to the gray fog for divination and got a risk-free answer.

Since the goddess didn't say anything, even if his archbishop could really find something, he would probably pretend not to see it...... Klein responded with a warm smile:

"During this time, I often came to the church to pray, listened to Bishop Elektra's lectures, and felt that my soul had been baptized, and even my soul seemed to have been purified to a certain extent, so that I could follow the teachings of the goddess and pass on beauty and hope to others. ”

St. Anthony nodded and said:

"Before the goddess, all believers are distinguished only by character, whether they are nobles or commoners, whether they are men or women.

"May those who live in bad places be free from fear and find peace.

"Praise be to the Goddess. ”

Bishop Klein and Elektra then tapped four times clockwise on their chests:

"Praise be to the Goddess!"

Seeing that Archbishop St. Anthony had turned to other believers, Klein prepared to go to the long table and get a glass of champagne to quench his thirst.

Just then, he saw a gentleman approaching.

The gentleman's skin was a little saggy, and his belly was visibly bulging, but it was evident that he was quite handsome in his youth, and even now his smiling blue eyes and beautiful beard kept him from being ugly.

Klein had just heard from Councillor Macht, and knew that this was Earl Hall, a member of the House of Lords, and a big banker.

Of course, for him, the nobleman's most important identity was the father of Miss "Justice", and Audrey happened to follow him, looking at Daun Dantès with bright eyes, waiting for the next gentleman's exchange.

This made Klein suddenly a little uncomfortable again.

I had to behave like Daun Dantès...... A person from an ordinary background, trying to squeeze into high society, must be a little nervous and cramped at this moment, a gentleman who likes beauty, in the face of the gaze of Beckland's most dazzling jewel, nervousness and crampedness are inevitable, but he will unconsciously show his own insight, show his charming side, have the desire to express, well, a rich man who has rich experience and has come out of chaos, must have hidden pride, self-confidence and confidence, no matter what the inner feeling is, the surface will try to be plain, respectful but not humble...... Crane's thoughts raced, a smile appeared on his face, and he saluted the approaching Earl Hall:

"Honorable Earl, I happened to see your cheque just now, and I was greatly impressed by your kindness and kindness, but you never flaunted it, nor told anyone how much you had donated. ”

Count Hall laughed and said:

"No, it's not as good as you, because I don't pay you as much as you do. ”

What he implicitly meant was that £15,000 might be one-tenth, or even one-fifth, of Dawn Dantès's total assets, and £10,000 was one-thousandth, or less, for him.

"In my opinion, as long as it can help the poor who are eager to change their fate with knowledge, all donations are kind and benevolent enough, and from this point of view, the difference between 10,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds is only 5,000 pounds. Crane tried to be sincere, and deliberately glanced at the blonde girl who was listening.

He knew that the normal "without a trace" meant "very obvious" to the "audience".

Audrey smiled faintly and listened quietly to the conversation between her father and Daun Dantès, and did not seem to notice the gentleman's peeping, which made Klein, who had no way to get feedback, not very confident in his "performance".

Count Hall smiled and said:

"Then it's not a bad thing to keep our opinions, at least we're all complimenting each other.

"You can see that you've had tough times and you've been through that kind of poor life. ”

Klein nodded and said:

"I don't shy away from these pasts, they are my precious treasures. ”

"And that's what my friends and I lack. Earl Hall smiled and nodded, "Because of this, you have a unique wisdom and perspective, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future." ”

"That's what I'm looking forward to. Klein responded appropriately and sincerely.

Count Hall pointed to the side:

"Some friends are waiting for me to come over, may your good deeds, may your wealth increase. ”

Crane didn't dwell any more, and drew the crimson moon on his chest:

"Praise be to the Goddess. ”

"Praise be to the Goddess. Earl Hall and Audrey tapped four times clockwise on their chests at the same time.

Seeing them cross him and head somewhere else, Crane couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he tensed up again, and naturally looked around the hall, taking in the shadow of the doorway.

The big golden retriever was still crouching there, quiet and silent.

............

On the carriage back to Queens, Earl Hall, who seemed to have his eyes closed, suddenly turned his head sideways and looked at his daughter:

"Audrey, didn't you say you wanted to work in a charitable organization in the church?

"Are you interested in joining this charity fund?"

"Huh?" Audrey was already aware of her father's possible thoughts in the church, and was rightly surprised and confused.

"It's just a small charitable fund. Audrey's brother, Hibbert Hall, fought for his sister.

Count Hall smiled and shook his head:

"I asked the bishops that the total donation tonight has reached 100,000 gold pounds.

"Why do you think there are so many?"

Hibbert Hall frowned slightly, and said as he thought:

"Buy?"

At the same time, Audrey also gave her own opinion:

"The Sinking of Knowledge and Electoral Eligibility?"

Count Hall nodded, sighed, and said:

"Nothing is inevitable, not including human beings themselves, including the aristocracy. ”

He looked at Audrey again and said with a smile:

"You don't have to force yourself, I can find someone else to join this bursary fund, I just hope you can see more because of this, don't see certain things as inevitable, never change, hehe, missed this, there are other charitable organizations. ”

"Dad, I'll think about it. Audrey replied earnestly.

After listening to the stories of the poor told by Dawn Dantès, she actually wanted to join the bursary fund and contribute to raising donations, liaising with the government, and organizing activities, but she hesitated because she felt that the middle-aged gentleman had a problem.

Back at home, Audrey immediately called Susie and closed the door.

"What do you think of that Mr. Dawn Dantès?" asked Audrey directly.

The big golden retriever squatted on the opposite side, thought for a while, and said:

"He seems to know you or something on you, and he's acting a lot of the time, and there's a certain trace...... He seemed a little defensive of me, very sharp......"

"Well, I've also found out that he can be extraordinary, he performs well, but he's still performing, but it's normal, we're in the social arena, when we're facing different people, we play different roles and perform accordingly. Audrey pondered and said, "The biggest question is still why he was surprised and even a little frightened to see me, and also, he was involved in two cases in a row, especially the case of Baron Sindras, which seems to have extraordinary factors and traces of guidance......"

Susie opened her mouth, unable to find a definite explanation, so she had to "Wang".

Audrey changed her mind:

Not...... I'll have to find someone to investigate Dawn Dantès and make sure there's no major problem before joining the bursary fund...... Ah yes, it's almost Monday, and it is possible to entrust Mr. Forth and Mr. "Moon" at the Tarot meeting, both of whom are in Beckland......

............

Monday afternoon, three o'clock sharp.

Streams of crimson light burst out of the magnificent palace, froze into vague figures.

"Justice" Audrey quickly looked around, looked at the top of the bronze table, and saluted with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~"
