Chapter 8: Mischief
As a time-traveler, as a former genius, Jack is worthy of honor on Earth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among them, he won the gold medal of the Global Trick League when he was 15 years old, so he is quite confident in his trick ability - no, more accurately, when it comes to tricking, he has an arrogance that can see the mountains at a glance.
So, when he saw Ino confidently entering his house, he had no idea what the disgusting fat man was confident about.
He beckoned Aunt Lucy, who was sweeping the floor in the distance, whispered a few words in her ear, and then asked Aunt Lucy to take Remy back to her room - he didn't want this fat man who looked like a pervert to look at his cute sister.
"Here, Mr. Byron, please. Jack stretched out his hand and led the two guests into the reception room.
"I am a viscount, and of course soon I will inherit my father's earldom. Eno who followed behind seemed to be reminding, and as if showing off, he pretended to be calm.
"That's really congratulations! Looks like you have a healthy father. Jack congratulated without malice.
"How do you speak?" said Ino, who was walking behind, with an unpleasant frown.
"I'm sorry!" Jack smiled innocently, "I'm not very good at complimenting people, and I'm sorry if I accidentally say something wrong!
While saying the witty words, Jack's eyes were on Miss Maid who was following Ino, the red-haired Miss Maid walked gracefully, looking left and right at the decoration of the mansion, she saw Jack looking at her, and she also replied with a pure smile, that kind of moving expression, which reminded Jack of his youth.
Eno noticed the eye contact between Jack and Lilith, and he reaffirmed his opinion of Jack, he felt that the genius of invention praised by the elders of the clan was nothing more than an arrogant and lustful man, so he just sneered and said, "Don't you stare at Lilith anymore, Mr. Scarlett, don't you think your behavior is not noble?
"Really? haha!" Jack laughed twice, seemingly satisfied, and he didn't look back, but there was an indeterminate glint in his eyes out of the sight of Eno and Miss Maid.
"Of course it's true, but it's a new maid, and I just want to try it, so I took her on this trip. To tell you the truth, there are many beauties like her, and we have a lot of Byron family, but Mr. Scarlett, you have probably never seen such a young and beautiful woman!
"Of course not!, but it can't be helped, it's my uncle's arrangement, these maids are not only old, but often careless, which is very nerve-wracking to me!"
"Haha, I understand that a young man like Mr. Scarlett will always have all kinds of needs ......"
A bucket of water fell from above, but was blocked by Ino's unfurled magic shield.
The fat nobleman still looked calm, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile that he thought was evil and crazy, and he sneered proudly: "Mr. Scarlett, this kind of trick is a child's favorite! Why, do you like to play like this? It's a pity, do you know, this is a protective ring from the master of magic carving, and his function is to ......"
As soon as Ino's feet slipped, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
The fat on his stomach fluctuated, and Ino's face was first frightened, and then flushed with anger!
Jack stopped, turned around, and said condescendingly, "Ah, Viscount Byron, why did you fall down all of a sudden?
"You, what the hell are you doing, do you want to play with me, do you want to go to war? Okay, come on!" Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Eno rolled over and sat up, yelling at Jack with anger on his face.
But Jack seemed to see nothing, and said with a bright smile: "What are you angry about? Viscount Byron, I told you, my maid is very careless! You have to be careful, they may have forgotten to wipe the lubricating water off the floor, so the ground may be a little slippery!"
"Don't talk nonsense like that, it's obviously ...... Hmph, okay! What about the water that fell from his head?" Ino, who wanted to continue scolding, seemed to have crossed the peak of anger, and he remembered the family's orders when he came out, so he suppressed his anger and asked.
"Well, our maids have just finished wiping the relief on the ceiling today, and I think they may have forgotten to take the bucket down!" Jack pretended to be puzzled, he scratched his head, and said, "Don't worry, Viscount Byron, I will teach them a good lesson, they are too serious to do things, and let our distinguished guests be treated so rudely." I'm so sorry, come, Viscount Byron, get up, sit down first, and then slowly dissipate the troubles just now in the fragrance of tea!"
"Hmph, hehe! Okay—" Ino smiled and nodded, grabbed Jack's outstretched hand, and stood up.
Jack didn't say anything more, just invited Ino to sit down on the couch.
As if out of courtesy, although Jack invited the maid to sit down with her, she smiled and shook her head, and stood at the back of the couch.
Jack didn't force it anymore, he just asked his maid to serve them twice as much black tea with ice.
At this time, thanks to years of aristocratic training, Eno's face had returned to its original state, and he even brought a hypocritical smirk, "Count Scarlett, the world drinks hot tea, but you are ingenious here to treat guests with cold tea!"
This seems to be a compliment, but from the perspective of aristocratic discourse, Eno is using tea as a metaphor for people, sarcastically treating guests very indifferently, not a good person, if it were another nobleman, Jack doesn't mind playing with him, but in the face of this self-righteous half-ass, Jack is too lazy to talk to him.
So, Jack smiled and asked, "Viscount Byron, you came all the way to say it's for business, so what kind of business is it?"
"Slow!"
"What's wrong?" Jack put down his teacup.
"You drink this!" said Ino, cleverly swapping the two teacups.
"What, Viscount Byron, doesn't believe me?" Jack looked at Ino with a mysterious smile.
"No, no, no, I just don't trust the maid of your mansion!" Ino replied with a smile.
"Okay, I'll just drink this cup. ”
"Wait!"
"What's going on?" Jack still smiled.
Eno poured a little of the tea from his cup into Jack's cup and said, "You can drink it now!"
"Good!" answered, and Jack took a sip of tea.
Seeing that Jack drank so naturally, Eno was finally relieved, and he also took a sip of the black tea in front of him.
"I have to say, your cold tea does have a unique flavor. Ino smiled and complimented, and pretended to show his aristocratic demeanor.
But Jack smiled and said: "Viscount Byron, don't be too happy, is there anything in this tea, it's not up to me, even if I drink it, can't I take the antidote first?"
"You ......," Ino's face turned pale.
Seeing that the fat man was scared out of a cold sweat, Jack suddenly smiled harmlessly, "Don't be nervous, Viscount Byron, no matter what, I have no reason to hurt you, do I? Did you see me taking the antidote just now? No, right! So don't worry, we might as well talk about our big business!"
"Talk, talk about what?"
From the beginning to the present, Eno Byron's arrogance has finally been suppressed to the lowest point.
Jack knows that the best moment for negotiation has come!
