Volume 1: First Kiss Roll - Stage Curtain Chapter 34: The Puppeteer (2)
After some explanations with the driver, Cai and Muse bought some fruit at a fruit store, and while Muse was buying fruit, Cai borrowed a bank card from this beautiful woman with a lot of money and beauty, and directly stated: "I met an interesting store on the road, can I buy some supplies?" Miss Muse, be back soon. The muse readily agreed, and at the same time, about ten minutes later, Cai also returned, because there were no oranges in the season, Cai hastily bought some favorite fruits, and got into a taxi with the muse, and went to the [rich area].
If you ask the driver why he is willing to wait, the charm of money and the [rich area], it is obvious.
(Dividing line)
"Miss, you're back." A white-haired old man, who got the information early, stood at the iron gate of the villa a few minutes in advance and waited, with a professional smile on his face.
But what he saw, the taxi door was the first to come out of an unseen Asian man, Cai brushed his hair, (in just a few seconds, from the way of walking and dressing, with calloused wide palms, a faint pair of fine eyes, sophisticated bearing. Naturally, he realized that the old man was a housekeeper, so he gave him a subtle greeting: "Hello, Mr. Butler, Mr. Cai is Miss Muse's new friend." Then he took a bag he had just bought from the fruit store and pulled out a large green mango, "Do you want one?" ”
The housekeeper raised his eyebrows, his face was a little unsightly, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes, man? Who?
Cai saw this change, waved his hand helplessly, walked to the front seat, took out a few banknotes and stuffed them to the driver, saw a large amount, the driver was satisfied with it, and then drove away.
The front door was opened, and a few seconds later, the muse, who also got out of the car, ran over, threw himself into the butler's arms, and smiled sweetly: "Butler, I miss you a little bit after a few days!" ”
His face looked slightly better, doting on the muse's hand, the housekeeper giggled, the thick wrinkles stretched out, his expression was compared to the sternness of Cai, a pair of kind eyes, after glancing at it, he sighed: "You seem to have figured it out, miss." It seems that after a few days of not seeing each other, the butler's words are full of worry.
"Lala, how can there be, and the butler, this is my new friend, the other person is okay, can I borrow it for a day today?" The muse was coquettish like a girl in front of her acquaintances, and cast a look of expectation that could not be refused to the butler.
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, "I still have to ask the master, but since the young lady likes Mr. Cai so much, I guess the master will definitely not refuse." ”
Cai appropriately added, "Housekeeper, I must be sorry for disturbing the day, take care of it." ”
As he spoke, he didn't know where to get a knife (mixed from a fruit store), and in a bit of a greedy appetite, he took the knife, sharpened the green mang, ate it in one bite, and handed the muse a sharpened green mang.
Politely thanked, the muse took it naturally, unlike Cai's mouthful of chewing, tasting it carefully, it has not been affected by Cai's exaggerated painting style, and still maintains everyone's beautiful image.
The housekeeper was on the side, observing carefully, and he was also relieved in his heart, it seems that although this Mr. Cai's image is not very good, his words and deeds are still very considerate.
While Cai was eating the fruit, he was also carefully looking at the big villa, a total of six security guards, the whole was dressed in Gothic style, well, it was very much in line with his appetite.
"I didn't have a good attitude towards you before, so please ask Mr. Cai to follow me to meet the master, the young lady rarely makes new friends, and the master is willing to be happy." The housekeeper said so, apologized slightly, took the bag in Cai's hand, and instructed the nanny to vacate a spare room for Cai, to clean and make the bed, and then led the muse and him to lead the way to the depths of the villa.
Along the way, paved with fine pebbles, the colorful seems to be carefully designed by the owner of the villa, on both sides of the path, there is a garden of roses, the servants regularly take care of it, at this time the flowers are blooming, blooming quite beautifully, Cai leaned over, behaved normally, intoxicated and sniffed the flowers, and praised a few words: "Muse, your father, is really a person who loves scenery, and he must have traveled to many places when he was young." ”
The housekeeper smiled, nodded, and explained to Cai: "What Mr. Cai said is that the old man has indeed been to many places when he is young, and this stone is still laid by the lady with him before, and the flowers are blooming just as before. ”
Muse's face was a little puzzled, and she pointed to these plants: "Housekeeper, are these all planted by my mother before?" ”
"Miss, yes. It's a pity that you haven't heard much about it, and we haven't mentioned it much, it's an old thing from nineteen years ago, and it's not good to mention it. As if there was something hidden, his tone was reluctant to mention it, and the old butler brought it up lightly and led the topic elsewhere, "Mr. is coming to Gotham City for the first time." He looked at Cai, and it was easy to see the curiosity in Cai's eyes and the sense of incongruity with the city, and he could see at a glance that Cai was an outsider.
Although Cai was a little interested in how Muse's mother died, but since this was the case, he also followed the housekeeper's meaning, "Yes, I came all at once, I didn't expect it to be really good, why don't you talk to me." ”
So, go with the flow, attract the attention of the muse, and excitedly introduce to Tsai the affairs of Gotham City, until she talked about [Batman], expressing a strong sense of worship.
Hearing [Batman], the corners of the butler's eyes twitched involuntarily, his expression was abnormal, and he noticed this subtle change, Cai secretly remembered it in his heart, and his tone showed that he should be surprised: "Batman? ”
He plans to give his acting skills a full score, you must know that Hollywood invites him to make a cameo, which is hard to find!
In fact, (Cai and the housekeeper) have been paying attention to each other's behavior and constantly paying attention to each other's performance.
Seeing Cai's impromptu performance without hesitation, completely like a lonely traveler, the butler eliminated some of Cai's worries a little, and said in his heart that this person really had never been to Gotham City, so he grabbed the muse's hand, whispered to his ear, and said with some blame: "Miss, don't mention that criminal, it will affect the mood of the guests." You don't want to be thought to be some kind of dark knight by some unobtrusive newspapers, and there is no need to worship it. ”
It seems that this butler definitely knows something, and maybe knows the inside story of this [Parallel World Gotham City].
Cai guessed that since the four instructions must be related, and he could already obtain some information by brushing up on the muse's favor, then he planned to simply make reasonable use of his current advantages and dig more, preferably to get some hidden secrets.
Then now it is time to meet this old man, Cai secretly thought, a small courtyard appeared in front of him.
Now because of the coercive effect of the Doom Card, he has lost all his abilities, and he is no different from an ordinary person who started out.
The message that Fakron began to manifest reminded him of the horror of the Doom Card.
It's not Gotham City that he watched in the world, the movie and TV series, but madness is bound to have similarities.
