Chapter 836: Abner's Calculations
Outside the luxury villa at 22 rue Saint-Martin in the Solon district of Trier, a man who looks to be in his forties greets his host.
He has unusually deep light blue eyes, and his dyed black hair is neatly combed, and his temperament is handsome, even if he is a little older, he is also the type that can make a lady's eyes shine.
The man, Bowen Bennett, was the butler that Ms. Helen had helped Abner find to meet his requirements.
Although this gentleman is a devout disciple of Mother Earth, he has an adopted son who has joined the "Church of the Eternal Sun" and has now achieved the position of bishop, so in Helen's opinion, he perfectly meets Abner's requirements for both reliability and connections in the "Church of the Eternal Sun".
- After visiting the city-state in Grossell's Travels a few days ago, Helen lent Abner her mansion, which was not too far from the Cullen family's ancestral home, to Aubner for free.
At this moment, Abner took "Checia" and entered the study on the third floor with the butler Bowen.
"Sir, as you have commanded, I have hired ten maids, nine manservants, a cook, two gardeners, a coachman, and a coachman's assistant......
"The weekly expenditure on these servants is 20 fils,
"In addition, regarding the recruitment of housekeepers, the 'Helping Domestic Servants Association' has also given a list, and you can choose it yourself."
As he spoke, Mr. Butler handed a booklet to Abner. He didn't mention the matter of the valet.,The existence of "Cecia",Let him feel that the master prefers the valet.。。
Abner took the booklet and looked at it a few times before putting it down, after all, just looking at the resume, in fact, a few candidates can't check much.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Abner asked with a smile.
The butler Bowen seemed to be prepared, but he still thought about it and said: "Jennifer seems to be experienced, but she is a believer in the 'God of Steam and Machinery', and she used to be more in mechanical maintenance positions in other people's homes, and she can only be said to be average in terms of finances.
"Caroline, there's nothing wrong with her resume on the surface, but as I understand it, she's more interested in seducing men to bed than working......"
At this point, Boun, the butler, stole a glance at Abner's expression and saw that he had no intention of moving, so he continued, "Finally, Ankas ...... This is a good lady, who had been married to the eastern city of Ritter a few years ago, and somehow returned to Trier...... But in terms of business ability, she is indeed stronger than the above two. ”
Abner naturally heard the tendencies in Bowen's words, but he didn't care, even if Bob really colluded with this so-called "Ankas" to embezzle in the future, wouldn't he have the means to recover it?
In this case, it is better to have the highest level of professionalism.
Thinking of this, Abner counted Ankas's name on the roster and said, "That's it." ”
"Yes, sir...... I'm going to go to the legal counsel to draw up the contract. Mr. Bowen, the butler, bowed in answer, and when he saw that his employer did not mean to say anything more, he withdrew with amusement.
As soon as the door of the study was closed, Cross Fia's figure appeared beside Abner, she looked at the luxurious decoration in the room a few times, and asked with a smile: "You specifically asked Helen for this house, did you want to 'reasonably' contact with the Sauron family, and then unite with them to defeat the Delion family?"
"However, I must warn you that Sauron is not as arrogant and stupid as he was a hundred years ago after the Russell incident, and it is very difficult to take advantage of them."
- Since Cross Fia has taken over the mission of Mother Earth, she naturally chooses to live in Abner's house so that she can act as a "thug" at any time.
"But Sauron's biggest threat at the moment is also from Delien, and if there is an internal problem with the latter, they will not let it go...... And I'm just going to provide information so that they can act in time. As he spoke, Abner pulled out a newspaper and pointed to the headline, "And the opportunity has arisen."
Crossfia took a curious look and saw that it was written entirely about the affair of a courtesan in Trier, only to mention at the end that the courtesan was startled by the crowd when she went out...... This would have been normal, but the newspapers detailed the causes of the march and its political demands.
Closfia came from the royal family of Fenerport and knew a lot about politics, and after a little hesitation, she spat out a word: "Press control? ”
"Yes, the wave of boycotts of 'press regulation' has grown, and it is conceivable that it will never pass Congress in the end...... The Prime Minister will not tolerate this, and will dissolve the current Diet before the general election in April, and force the bill through the reorganization. Abner was confident.
Even if he didn't want to, he would have let Thero Delien, who had been replaced by his fate, provoke the idea.
"Once the parliament is dissolved, I am afraid that the contradictions that have accumulated before will erupt, and the situation may get out of control...... Would the Prime Minister really do that? Crossfia paused at this point, and then said, "Don't expect me to 'hypnotize' him...... A position like his would inevitably be regularly inspected by the Church of the Eternal Sun, and it would be impossible to hide it. ”
"I understand, but it's not that Mr. Prime Minister lacks political wisdom, it's that he can't help himself...... There are many tools that we can operate during this period. Abner stood up, walked to the window, looked in the direction of the Sauron family's ancestral house not far away, and continued, "Do you think the Sauron family will let go of the opportunity for restoration?" ”
"There's no way they're going to restore the ......," said Crossfia, shaking her head.
After all, the Church would not allow it, and the Sauron family was still too weak to fight against the Church.
"So, I have to give them a 'confidence'." Abner said with a smile.
"What is it?" Crossfia asked, confused.
"Secret." Abner smiled mysteriously, did not explain, and avenged the "revenge" that was "calculated" by the other party.
Cross Fia glanced at him with a smirk, and did not dwell on the question, but said, "I remember that among your 'friends' there was a little girl from the Sauron family...... Is it okay to calculate her family like this? ”
"Elaine is just a side branch of Sauron, don't calculate those descendants, how can she get on the throne?" Abner remembered the "red maid" who worked hard to help him run the "film and television company", and said confidently.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Crossfia quickly disappeared, and Fanny walked in from outside with the orange cat.
- Abner had instructed the servants before they had moved into the villa that if Fanny, Firth, Elaine, and Helen came to visit, they should be brought directly to the study without notice.
The orange cat, that is, Leon the "Lion", sniffed his nose suspiciously when he came in, looked around for a while, but found nothing.
Fanny, as usual, stepped forward and gave Abner a hug, before getting down to business: "My father would like to invite you to dinner on Friday night to thank you for taking care of me on the way......"
As she spoke, she handed Abner a beautiful invitation.
"Your father...... Invite me? Is there anything else but thanks? Abner pretended to be strange, but he had a bottom in his heart.
In fact, if the other party really wanted to thank you, it should have been invited a long time ago, instead of delaying it for a week as it is now.
But it just so happens that I also need the cooperation of the Surrey family...... Even if Mr. Senator had been looking for me, I would have taken the initiative to visit him after I had settled down completely......
While Abner was muttering to himself, he heard Fanny reply, "It should be about the shares of Suhit's bank......
Really! As soon as he heard this, Abner grasped the mentality of Fanny's father, Mr. Councillor.
After all, in a sense, the crisis of the Surrey family over Suhit's bank was designed by him in the past two days.
Who would have thought that Mr. Henry, the second shareholder of Susit Bank, was actually an agent of the "Men in Black" organization?
Abner used Thelo to indirectly order Henry to reveal to Fleith his intention to sell his shares.
As for the fact that this calculated Fanny's father's affairs, Abner didn't think it was excessive, so he took a breath of relief for Fanny!
It was only after Abner came to Trier that she learned that Fanny had been living in Beckland with her grandfather because after her mother's unexpected death, her father had married a widow, making her unable to fit in with the family of four.
……
Byam, in the backyard of the Doge's Palace.
A cadre of the "Celestial Sect" greedily looked at the beautiful figure sleeping in the "crystal", and said to the guards who transported it: 'Good job! Where did you find her? ’
"It was a couple of fishermen who found her and planned to sell it...... Later, I asked for it. When the guard said this, he also felt that he was very lucky to encounter such a good thing on the way to the fat pharmacist to buy medicine.
"Excellent! What reward do you want? The cadre asked.
The guard turned his head, looked at the slender figure in the crystal, swallowed and said, "I...... Once you've done that, can you let him and I come once? ”
The cadre sneered and thought: The witch is also something that you can touch as an ordinary person? Aren't you afraid of getting sick to death?
But on the surface, he smiled and nodded: "Yes!" ”
This reply immediately made the guards jump.
At the same time, Crane, who pretended to be sealed unconscious, felt a wave of nausea, although he knew that it was aimed at Tracy and had nothing to do with himself, but he still couldn't help but get goosebumps.
This allowed him to deepen his knowledge of his true self once again.
On the other side, after the guards retreated, the cadres did not dare to slack off, and while directing the people to move the crystals to the dungeon, they also ordered people to deliver the news to the "Breeding Messenger".
