Chapter 128: Shocking Horses
Fortunately, it wasn't the mushrooms I ordered, otherwise it would have been a waste of this dish...... I didn't have any psychological shadow about mushrooms, but the smell of the letter just now successfully made me "sick" again...... Klein's expression quickly returned to normal, retracted his left hand, picked up the cup next to him, and gulped down the ice water inside.
"One more drink. He turned his head as if nothing had happened, and ordered the waiter standing at the door of the pantry.
At the same time, he pressed the clothes on his abdomen, slowly got up, apologized, and walked to the separate bathroom of the box.
This is the opposite of the dedicated pantry, which is located on either side of the main door.
Furth, who was hiding in the cupboard, listened to the footsteps approaching, and the bathroom door closed, and couldn't help but come to Hugh's ear, suppressed his voice, and said with a smile:
"It's the second time!
"It's only been a little over half an hour since they've entered the box, and Dawn Dantès has already gone to the bathroom for the second time!
"The first time it was obviously urinating, but if it is still this time, it means that this gentleman's kidneys, bladder or prostate are not very good.
"It's out, it's out, it's really just peeing, tsk, he usually seems to drink a lot of water, and often goes to the bathroom, hey, it's not easy to be a rich man, and it's especially not easy for a rich man who looks good!"
Hugh glanced at his friend:
"It's none of your business.
"Be serious, focus, we're on task!
"Also, the councillor named Makht, the bodyguard seems to be quite powerful, maybe extraordinary, we have to be careful enough. ”
Furth had to suppress the desire to communicate, retracted his body and said:
"They were all guarding the door, they didn't guard against anyone going through the wall, they weren't professional at all...... Well, let's go back and talk about it. ”
By this time, Klein had walked back to the table and sat down in his place.
He took a sip of ice water, sipped his white wine, and said with a smile to Congressman Macht:
"It's been almost two months since I came to Beckland, and I've always been busy getting acquainted with the environment here, and I've never been able to start a new business, and I've been waking up every day watching the gold pounds flow out, and I haven't come back at all, hehe, it's time to do something. ”
He jokingly nodded his willingness to mingle with the arms trade.
Councillor Makht rubbed his cup and said with a warm smile:
"I can understand that I was at that stage at the beginning.
"How much more money do you have? I can introduce you to some friends to work with. ”
Klein replied in a calm tone:
"At the moment you can draw up to 20,000 pounds. ”
"You're richer than I thought you were. Congressman Makht sighed with emotion.
Under normal circumstances, a rich man who can come up with 20,000 pounds of liquidity in one go will definitely have a net worth of 100,000 pounds.
Without waiting for Daun Dantès to be modest, he said casually:
"Didn't you buy a 3% stake in Coim before, and you can pledge at least 10,000 pounds with it, which can help you ease the financial strain. ”
Klein suddenly smiled and sighed:
"I have donated this part of the shares to the church to set up a bursary fund for the poor. ”
"Donated to the church?" Makht did not know about the pastor and bishop of St. Samuel's Church today, and he was outside and had not received the invitation.
Lady Liana and Hazel, who were enjoying their meal, also raised their heads and subconsciously turned their gaze to Daun Dantès.
At their level, there are not a few familiar friends who can come up with 10,000 pounds in cash, but there are only a few who can afford to donate so much money directly, and among these few, there may not be a single one who is willing to donate like this!
No, there is already one, Dawn Dantès!
"Yes. Crane nodded as usual, "If it weren't for the blessing of the goddess, I would have died in the chaotic Southern Continent, and when I was young, if I had the opportunity to go to school and study, maybe life would be completely different, I want to give some hope to those children who are eager to change their fate." ”
"Your character is as impressive as your generosity. Lady Liana put down her knife and fork and praised heartily, and Hazel nodded imperceptibly, seeing that Daun Dantès's gaze softened considerably.
Seeing her parents chatting with each other about charity, she left the table apologetically and walked to the bathroom, pressing her right hand on her stomach seemingly casually.
When she reached the door, she was about to turn to the right, when she suddenly turned her head and looked at the cupboard in the pantry.
Her brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion, and she withdrew her gaze and unscrewed the wooden door to the bathroom.
Washing her hands, Hézel seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, touched the necklace on her chest, and returned to the table.
When the dishes and desserts were served and the dinner was over, the four of them left the box, took their respective servants, and met up with the two bodyguards outside, ready to return home.
At this moment, Hazel suddenly paused and said:
"My studs seem to have fallen inside, sorry, wait a minute. ”
Without waiting for Lady Liana to tell the maid to look for it, she turned to herself, took a few steps around the corner, and returned to the box she had just had.
Hazel dropped the palm covering her left ear and went straight to the private pantry, walked over to the cupboard, and placed her hand on it.
She wanted to open the door of the cupboard at great speed, but after thinking about it, she cautiously held the necklace with her other hand and turned her body sideways to guard against a sudden attack from inside.
Taking a breath, Hazel took advantage of the waiter's tidying up of the table inside and pulled it sharply, revealing the inside of the cupboard.
There was nothing but spare cutlery and tablecloths.
Once again, Hazel looked bewildered, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"I sensed that there were very valuable items in here...... she whispered to herself, closing the door of the cupboard and walking out of the private pantry before the maid could catch up.
............
Outside the restaurant in Intis Cerenzo, Forth and Hugh looked back at the same time and looked inside.
"That girl found us?" Furth whispered in disbelief.
If she hadn't been able to "open the door" and slip out of the back of the cupboard in time, she and Hugh would have been discovered and had to admit to secretly protecting Dawn Dantès.
Hugh was also puzzled:
"When she went to the bathroom, I remember you didn't speak, you didn't move. ”
"Perhaps...... She's also an extraordinary, and has a certain spiritual intuition......" Forth guessed uncertainly, "Mr. Dawn Dantès's life is really difficult, and while he is often met with nobles and rich people, not only is there a housekeeper who studies dark arts in his house, but there is also an extraordinary person with mysterious abilities nearby, by the way, what is her name?"
"Hazel. Hugh was looking for Daun Dantès's carriage and hid underneath, his gaze suddenly frozen, "Forth, you see, that man is behaving a little unusually. ”
Furth followed her line of sight and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit, pacing up and down the edge of the street, looking anxious and impatient.
"What's wrong?" Furth didn't have time to take a closer look, and asked directly.
Hugh replied simply:
"He was dressed like a decent gentleman, but his shoes were dirty, and they didn't seem to have been wiped in a while, and you know, Beckland was dusty.
"Also, every now and then, he touches his armpit, and I bet there might be a pistol hidden there......
Beyond that, his expression and his gesture speak of his anomaly.
"Hmm...... They're coming out soon, I'll go to the carriage first, and you keep an eye on this man, and take care to protect Mr. Dantès. ”
"Good. Feeling troublesome and intrigued, Firth retreated to a sheltered area and kept an eye on the door of the Intis Serenzo restaurant.
Twenty or thirty seconds later, Dawn Dantès and the Macht family walked out, said goodbye to each other, and prepared to go to their respective carriages.
At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage rushed from the street, extremely fast, ready to tip at any moment.
The horses pulling the cart looked crazy and seemed frightened, and in a panic crashed into the door of the restaurant in Intis Cerenzo.
One of Mahert's two bodyguards met him and tried to subdue the frightened horse, while the other protected the councillor, his wife, and the young lady, and retreated to the side.
At this moment, the wandering middle-aged man strode closer from behind, pulled out a revolver, and aimed his expression at Congressman Macht's head with a distorted expression.
Klein's right hand was raised imperceptibly, then retracted, doing nothing.
With a light jump, he avoided the front of the startled horse, and at the same time, Furth, who was hiding on the other side, gently grasped the palm of his hand and pulled it to the side.
The attacker's feet suddenly went limp, and he seemed to have tripped over something, and he fell directly to the ground, without time to shoot.
In a hurry, he stretched his hand and jumped up violently, about to shoot frantically without aiming.
However, he snapped his fingers, but nothing touched them.
His revolver had fallen off just now and landed at Hazel's feet!
Immediately after, he and Shocking Horse were subdued by bodyguards at the same time.
"Why did you attack me?" asked Councillor Makht, holding back the emotions rolling in his heart, stepping forward and asking in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man burst out laughing, and shouted with a crazy expression:
"It's all you!
"What air pollution, what do you want to use anthracite! My factory is bankrupt, my children are sick and dead, my wife is committing suicide!"
