"Are you sure, old man?" Leonard pretended to brush his drooping hair and whispered to himself.

"There will be no mistake, that girl is your 'kind', and the one who parasitizes her is not very well hidden...... I just don't know if it's a wild 'thief' demigod who lacks 'common sense', or if Amon is deliberately 'fishing'. The old voice of Parles Zoroaster rang in his ears.

In this regard, Leonard scoffed and muttered in a low voice: "If it was really Amon, would you take the initiative to talk to me now?" ”

"Yes, it's finally grown, and this time the analysis is good." Instead of being annoyed, Pales laughed "hehe" and exclaimed, "Finally willing to use his brain to think about the problem!" ”

The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched a few times, and he always felt that the old man was "connotating" himself.

"Find a way to get closer to her, I need to make some confirmations." Parles suggested.

"How close? Under what pretext? Leonard subconsciously asked.

"There's a ball going on here......" Parles reluctantly recounted his surroundings.

Hearing this, Leonard was stunned for a second, then looked at Abner Blaine, who had just danced the opening dance with a courtesan on the dance floor, and then reacted, then straightened his collar and hair, and walked straight to Miss Emma at the table.

Yes, because he had privately investigated Viscount Abner Blaine, Leonard had seen the information about this young lady, so he knew her.

It's just that halfway through, he felt a little strange, after all, there was no one around such a beautiful young lady to invite him to dance.

"Miss Emma, may I ask you to do a dance?" Leonard said after making a gesture that he thought was handsome.

Emma looked at him a few times, then turned her head and said unceremoniously:

"I don't dance with weird men!"

"Huh?" Leonard, who stretched out his hand halfway only to find that he had been rejected, was suddenly confused.

……

On the other side, Abner, who had danced the opening dance, was wandering among the invited guests, and he was exchanging pleasantries and recounting his plans for the city of Belden.

Unfortunately, most people were more interested in his film company, and the reaction to the "Beldin City" project was a little lukewarm.

However, this was also expected by Abner, and he was not disappointed...... Anyway, investing in "movies" is the same, as long as the money is in your own hands, it's not how you want to spend it?

After all, the current film industry is still in the stage of savage growth, and the director and producer are all served by the company's own people, so it is not up to them to decide where the money is spent?

As long as you spend eighty percent of your budget to build a location in Beldan, isn't it also a disguised investment in territory construction?

In this way, Abner walked and stopped between the staggered and soon came to a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes, deep facial features, and a typical Rune look.

He wears a silk top hat, his face is relatively thin, and his temperament is quite cold, but he is not a gloomy and uncomfortable type, but the kind that has the meaning of the night.

"Mr. Patrick Blaine?" Abner asked, smiling, holding his glass.

"Hello, Viscount Brean...... I'm Patrick. As he spoke, the man looked at Abner carefully several times before exclaiming, "When I heard the reputation of 'Hero Detective' before, I often told other people that your achievements are already on par with mine...... And now, I think I was too arrogant in what I said back then. ”

Rune-style subtlety, when complimenting others, can always make people smile.

Abner nodded thoughtfully, and under the close contact, the other party's "river of destiny" was also partially presented in his eyes, although he couldn't see too many things from this, he could also be sure that the other party was indeed a blood relative of his own body.

So, Abner showed a "polite" smile and began to talk to the "test subject" demigod cultivated by the artificial death faction of the "Spirit Order" in front of him, and took the initiative to lead the topic in the direction of the "clan".

After all, it is still too difficult to obtain the blood of a demigod silently, even if the other party lacks a lot of knowledge in the field of occultism, and is evaluated by Miss "Messenger" as an "immortal ......" and "fool...... in the original book

"I need a lot of people to build my territory, can you recommend a few good 'clansmen'? After all, one's own people are always more trustworthy. Abner smiled and made his "request", and at the same time threw an "olive branch" to the family.

Patrick also smiled heartily when he heard this, and immediately recommended three young people with college degrees.

One is Nellum, a graduate of Beckland Technical College and currently a clerk for a construction company;

One is named Beaton, who graduated from the history department of the University of Tingen and is considered a senior of Klein;

The last one is named Confer, and he graduated from the university Abner has never heard of, but his major is more in line with the film company - acting.

Patrick even admitted frankly that Conver is actually his illegitimate son, although he is not surnamed "Brian", but he is a good actor, and has starred in many dramas, but he has been excluded because of his background, so he can't get ahead.

Nellum and Beaton should have no problem, they are the normal elite of the so-called Bryan family, and they just want to follow me for a future...... This is considered to have their own needs, as if they were selling blood.

As for Confover...... I'm afraid it's an extraordinary person...... Studying the "acting" major is for better "acting"?

Hehe, maybe he was a "giveaway" from Patrick after drinking excess potions......

Well, there is a high probability that this bastard still believes in the "Grim Reaper...... Is Patrick trying to preach in my territory through him?

When you think about it, it doesn't seem like a problem...... Anyway, it won't be long before the "Grim Reaper" is the vest of the "Goddess...... It doesn't matter if you believe in Him......

With the help of Patrick's disturbance of his "fate", Abner observed more "tributaries", and many thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.

Then, after instructing Patrick to get the three young men to report to him as soon as possible, Abner walked past him and walked to the place where Viscount Horatio's family was.

Then he witnessed Leonard's rejection.

Abner laughed in his heart, but also quickened his pace, because Leonard's unusual behavior, coupled with the previous reminder of "Lion" Leon, made him sure that there must be something wrong with Emma.

……

In order to play the role of a "scammer", Emma used to tease the men who invited her at the ball, which often made people unable to get off the stage, so she had a reputation for being "weird".

But at that time, people talked about it behind their backs at most, and they didn't say anything to their faces.

But with the assassination of Duke Negan and the deposition of her father, all kinds of ugly words have begun to fall out of favor, and her reputation has become more and more unbearable...... Although she herself didn't care.

However, just because she doesn't care doesn't mean her mother doesn't care.

So, after Emma unceremoniously rejects Leonard's invitation, Mrs. Norma finally can't resist reprimanding her.

But at this moment, Abner's voice came at the right time:

"Miss, do I have this privilege to invite you to dance?"

Seeing this, Emma smiled, immediately put the glass with champagne in her hand on the tray in the waiter's hand, and responded politely:

"It's also my pleasure."

This completely different attitude surprised Mrs. Norma, who looked at Abner several times in surprise.

Also let Leonard, who hasn't gone far? Mitchell suddenly became "indignant".

Abner Bryan isn't much more handsome than me!
