Chapter 56: Trouble

"Please don't be nervous, Lady Antonia, I have no intention of harming you, nor am I a robber of a burglary. ”

Antonia breathed a sigh of relief, picked up an opened bottle of whiskey from the table next to her, and poured it into the two empty glasses on the table: "Since you are not a robber, nor are you a killer invited by other colleagues to kill me, then it seems that Sir should need me to do something for you, so what should I call you, sir?"

The man looked at Antonia in surprise: "What a clever lady, maybe you can call me a clown." ”

Antonia picked up the goblet full of whiskey and handed it to Mr. Clown, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Then why don't we have a drink before we talk about work, Mr. Clown?"

The clown leaned his cane against the edge of the bed, reached for the goblet, and placed it on the bedside table beside him: "I'm sorry I had to turn you down, beautiful lady, I think keeping a clear head will be more conducive to our next conversation." ”

Antonia raised her goblet to the clown, "Then I hope you don't mind if I take a sip first." ”

The Joker shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't mind her.

Antonia raised her glass, took a puff of whiskey, and then said to the clown, "So, please tell me why you're here to find me." ”

The clown shoved the revolver back into his waist, got up from the bed table, and walked to Antonia with his cane: "Let's not talk about this matter for now, I want to ask you first, Ms. Antonia, are you happy on a day like this?"

Antonia looked at the clown in amazement: "Are you sure I heard it right? Happy? What kind of joke did I hear, and you asked a nightingale if his life was happy?"

The clown bent down and gently lifted a strand of long hair from Antonia's shoulder: "I think you heard it right, I do want to know how you feel about your career and life, and whether you think this life is happy?"

Antonia leaned her head into the clown's arms and looked at him with seductive eyes: "Are you happy...... Don't you want to try it for yourself?"

The clown looked at the beautiful and sexy Antonia in his arms, and gently pushed away her hand that was reaching for his waist: "I think you'd better not make any other small movements, maybe I'll try it myself after our conversation is over." ”

Antonia straightened up: "Okay, you want to ask me if I'm happy like this? Ha, what a ridiculous question, if you were allowed to live in this environment since you were a child, would you be happy? In order to survive, you have to receive disgusting guests every day, but I can't show a trace of disgust, damn, I used to think I was living in hell!"

The clown looked at Antonia, who was gradually becoming irritable: "Then what if I can give you a chance to change your current state of life?"

Antonia had a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Chance, I don't believe that there is a free dinner in this world, tell me the purpose of your coming here, please don't say those things that lie to the little girl, after all, I am no longer young." ”

The clown sat down in a chair next to him: " I have investigated you, Lady Antonia Hyde, born in the spring of 1840, and your mother was the same nightingale, and as for your father, it is not yet known with which guest your mother gave birth to you, and you grew up in the Nightingale where your mother worked, and when you were thirteen you received your first guest in your life, and then, six years ago, when your mother died, you received her inheritance, seven pounds, plus the money you had saved since you were a nightingale, and built this nightingale inn on Gyusepp Street, and after a few years of your development, the Nightingale was the largest nightingale in all of LondonI have to say, Ms. Antonia, your life is enough to be called a legend. ”

Antonia had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of wariness: "It's really unfair, you have found out so much about me, even my mother's amount of her inheritance, and I don't know anything about you." ”

The clown didn't answer Antonia's words, but said, "And my purpose is to reach an alliance with your Nightingale Hotel and share information."

Seville looked straight at the clown: "Alliance? I don't want to sneak into my room like you did today and coerce me with a revolver, it's not like a partner." ”

A low laugh erupted from the clown's mouth: "I'm sorry, Ms. Sevilla, because my status is a bit special, so I don't think I can talk to you through normal channels." ”

Seville took a sip of whiskey: "It seems that Mr. Clown's identity is not simple, so what kind of benefits can I gain from reaching an alliance with you?

The clown nodded in agreement: "You're right, Ms. Seville, I originally planned to invite you to join my organization, but I don't think you will trust me easily, so maybe while I get the information of the nightingales, we will also help you solve the troubles you can't handle, what do you think?"

Sevilla looked at the clown with scrutiny in his eyes: "Then as partners, we all have to trust each other, so Mr. Clown, should you take off your mask first and let me see your true face?"

The clown shook his head slightly, "I'll let you see me for who I am, but not now." ”

Sevilla walked up to the clown: "Okay, I respect your privacy, if you can really help us deal with some troubles that we can't solve, I agree to form an alliance with you, but before forming an alliance, you need to show the strength of your organization, I think you can understand my caution, after all, in this era, there are always all kinds of liars." ”

The clown bowed slightly to Seville: "I say that I understand your thoughts very well, so Madame Seville, please tell me what is the trouble that you can't solve?"

Sevilla lifted her long skirt and bent her knees to salute the clown: " I think you should know that the area of Gissepp Street belongs to the mafia, the territory of the Hungry Wolf Party, and the people who set up shops on this street need to pay an expensive protection fee to the Hungry Wolf Party every week, originally speaking, I could afford this fee, but they increase the fee every few months, and the increasing protection fee has seriously dragged down the development of the hotel, if you want to form an alliance with us, then go and ask the Hungry Wolf Party to stop increasing the protection fee. ”
