Chapter 203: Moulin Rouge

The two met late, and the chatter was full of uncle and nephew affection, and after a while, they reached the streets of the north city of York.

It was already the second half of the night, and there were only sporadic lights in the city, and Storm flew over the city without hesitation, and finally landed in front of a multi-story brick building.

The building was still very lively, and the gas lamps outside the building were covered with stained glass lampshades, reflecting the whole building like a canvas that had knocked over a paint box. There was a faint sound of music and laughter in the building, making it clear to Jacques that this was not the place to be.

Four young men in tuxedos stood in front of the door, and when they saw Storm and Jacques, they bowed respectfully and shouted, "Welcome to the Moulin Rouge!"

It turns out that this is the famous Moulin Rouge!

Entering the antechamber, a bright-looking woman came forward to greet him, but the visitor quickly recognized Storm, and without saying much, led Storm and Jacques upstairs.

Jacques followed Storm through the semi-open hallway on the second floor, and below the corridor was the first-floor ballroom, where many energetic men and women were dancing to the music.

Seeing Jacques observing the ballroom downstairs, Storm smiled: "The ballroom is only a part of the Moulin Rouge, mainly to provide customers with a convenient place to choose a female companion, and many customers are too lazy to dance. ”

While speaking, the three of them went down the stairs to the third floor. Turning to the top of the staircase, Jacques heard a noise, and when he went upstairs, he saw that the third floor was also a brightly lit hall, and in the hall there were many large tables, each of which gathered a dozen or twenty people.

Storm said, "Well, this is where they like it." ”

The woman led the two through the noisy hall, and Jacques took a closer look as he passed, revealing that they were tables of the game. Just by looking at it, Jacques discovered four or five different types of betting.

Jacques had never been to a casino before, and it is said that there was also a casino in Port Mousse, but unfortunately it was a little far from Jacques's life. In his original concept, gambling was just four people pushing cards with some lottery heads, just a way of entertainment between friends, but he didn't expect it to be such a business.

In the eyes of many, Jacques read the joy, anticipation, madness, and despair, and his feet slowed down.

The woman leading the way pushed open a room at the end of the hall, and Storm entered, while Jacques, who was a step behind, glanced back at the staircase where they had just gone upstairs, and a woman in a square-necked close-fitting dress was slowly walking upstairs.

The face was the woman with the deformed man I had seen on the ship before, Eliza, the proprietress of the Red House.

The room was a reception room, and Storm walked over to the shelf to pour a glass of wine, and asked Jacques what he wanted to drink, apparently intending to continue the conversation with Jacques.

But before Jacques could reply, the woman who led the way returned again, knocked lightly on the door, and entered the house.

Storm asked, "Gaia, what's the matter?"

The woman lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Sir, Mom is back, and she wants to see you." ”

Storm groaned slightly, then smiled slightly, and said to Jacques, "Nephew Jacques, I have some business to attend to here. You see, those games out there, if you're interested, I'll ask Gaia to get you some chips and play as you like. ”

Jacques hurriedly shook his head and said pretendedly: "No, no, I'll honestly wait for my father to come." ”

Storm continued: "Paul may not be able to come for a while, or else, the upstairs is full of guest rooms, and I will arrange a room for you to rest." ”

Jacques had wanted to continue to inquire about Storm's situation, but now that the nest has been found, something unexpected has happened. At this time, you have an independent space, which is more convenient to escape.

So he pushed the boat down the river, saying that he was also tired, so he just had to rest.

A short time later, the woman in the short skirt named Gaia took Jacques to the fifth floor and arranged him in the guest room.

After entering the room, within a few minutes, Jacques pretended to want to get something to eat, opened the door to look for the waiter, and immediately found that there were hidden watchers in the opposite room and corridor, and sure enough, Storm was still not at ease with himself.

Returning to the house, he checked up and down again to make sure there was nothing wrong with the room, and Jacques collapsed on the bed, thinking about his next steps.

Storm had deceived himself into trying to get some benefit from his father, and Jacques had not been able to guess his purpose before.

Entering the Moulin Rouge and seeing the attitude of the people in it towards Storm, a conjecture was formed in Jacques's mind.

It wasn't until he met the proprietress of the Moulin Rouge that Jaco's suspicion became even stronger, that Storm and Stuart's spy had the same purpose, Mr. Kane, or more specifically, something in Mr. Kane's possession!

Storm's identity in the Mithril Society should be only high compared to Twenty-Three, Twenty-Three is the member of the Mithril Society and its subordinate organizations who are responsible for managing Ryo City, could it be that Storm is the leader of the Mithril Society in York City?

So does Storm know that his men, the Moulin Rouge's proprietors, are in cahoots with Stuart spies, or are they using those spies? Or is Storm a Stuart spy himself?

Jacques thought about it for a long time but didn't figure it out, and it was inconvenient to summon Fat Orange over and go to Storm's room to eavesdrop, so he simply turned around and told his father and Mr. Kane that they should have a headache.

But now that he's here, Jacques still wants to explore Storm's lair, probably because he's been with Fat Orange for a long time, and Jacques has begun to get into Fat Orange's curiosity.

As soon as he said it, Jacques immediately opened the spatial rift and dodged into the light gate.

There were a few places where Jacques decided to explore: one was the tail room on the top floor of the building, one was Storm's reception room, and the other was the basement of the house.

These may be places where important items are stored, or secret rooms are hidden.

In the mysterious space, Jacques relied on his memories of the position and first went straight to the tail room on the top floor, which was closest to his room.

When I got to the approximate location, there was no human figure condensed by points of light, indicating that there was no one! Jacques clicked on a small hole, and when he looked closely, he found that it was just an ordinary room.

Then to the tail room at the other end, there is still no gain, it seems that I have found the wrong place.

But Storm's reception room was not accessible for the time being, Storm was still there, and Jacques was afraid to guarantee that he would not be caught by a grandmaster.

So he had to descend all the way to the basement of the house.

After going around the basement and finding that there was only one place where there were people, Jacques looked for a few openings in several directions, either the soil layer or the ordinary warehouse, and found nothing of value.

Finally Jacques zeroed in on the place where there were people, where there were only two figures, and when Jacques came down, he found that they were sitting in the same position and had not moved, as if they were writing something.

Will there be anything going to happen there?

Jacques simply moved behind the two humanoid light clusters sitting side by side, opened a small hole, and peeked out through the hole.

The basement room was lit by four gas lamps, and two men sat facing the wall, desks stacked with manuscript paper and ink, both concentrating on what they were writing.

If it was just that, it was a very ordinary thing, but Jacques's eyes were drawn to what the two were wearing on their heads. Both of them wore earmuffs on their heads, and the earmuffs were something that Jacques had seen the students of the Northern Regions bring in the Misty Forest Challenge, mainly to keep their ears warm and cold, why did these two people wear earmuffs indoors?

On closer inspection, Jacques noticed that both of them had a thread dragging on their earcups, which was connected to one of the dozens of tiny holes in the wall.

The two also pulled out the connection from time to time, replaced a small hole, and then picked up a pen to write some words.

- There is a problem here!

Jacques decided to find out.
