Chapter 61: Hooked

After being exposed, Rowena no longer concealed it, her eyes blinked, and they changed from cloudy to clear. Then the hot gaze touched Grandin from head to toe.

"Willing to come back?" She grumbled, her voice crisp.

It's like a joke between lovers, but it's a little scary to say it in the face of an old man.

A sweet voice came from the mouth of an old man in his fifties, causing Grandin to shiver, and he said in a calm tone:

"You're playing an old man now, can you talk well."

"Hmph, you're a terrible man. Well, ahem. Rowena coughed twice, her voice became low and hoarse, and then, without waiting for Grandin to ask, explained:

"It's really scary if a man doesn't like a woman and has no weaknesses. Is it because I'm not very attractive? Isn't there a single wonderful woman around you who can fall in love with you? Why are you always so calm, or say you have a problem......"

"Miss Rowena, my sexuality is normal." Grandin defended himself.

"Then prove it to me." Rowena's voice seamlessly switched to a charming female voice.

The sound stirred up a small flame in Grandin's mind, but before it could spread, reason extinguished it.

'Machines' have no feelings.

But the thought of being remembered by a witch made Grandin uncomfortable, and he could only explain: "My preferences are normal, but I know how to refrain from it." And there are always things that are more important than the love of men and women. ”

Rowena snorted in her mouth and took the initiative to change the topic:

"Can you really 'fish' the target with this method? I think it's a waste of time, and I might as well keep checking the apple orchard...... "M.. coM

Her grumbling faded away.

Because Hugh and Furth, dressed as thieves, have a buyer next to them.

The buyer hid his entire body in a wide black robe, the hood of the robe pulled up by him, and his entire face was hidden in the shadows.

"My gut tells me that this is what we've been looking for." Grandin reached into his trench coat and immediately activated it with his own spirituality when he touched the 'Harlequin Mask'.

His face became rough, his complexion darkened, the corners of his eyes elongated, and he soon became a different person.

"I don't need you to remind me, I smell it too." Rowena's voice regained its depth, "The next step is to stalk him, it's a lot more troublesome than killing." ”

"Yes, to find their stronghold." Grandin wiped his hand on his chin, and a beard quickly grew on his face. "When the investigation is over, we will meet at the bell tower at the East Bailang dockyard."

"Don't bother, I'll find you." Rowena stretched out her fingers and drew a circle around his chest, and Grandin keenly felt the remnants of spirituality.

This beautiful movement made Grandin feel uncomfortable, and his hair stood on end.

It's a marker.

Grandin's reaction caused Rowena to chuckle. She slowly stood up, like a real old man, staggering into the flow of people on the black market.

What happened around the corner went unnoticed, and the bargaining between the two groups of people in the distance was nearing its end.

"I know it's stolen goods, but I'm willing to buy it for five gold pounds. The shape of the pendant is very peculiar and should have some collectible value. The black-robed man's voice was hoarse.

Hugh and Foirth seemed hesitant to sell.

"I'm sorry, but I'm also interested in the naked man on this pendant - >>

, I'll give 20 gold pounds! Grandin, who had finished his disguise, leaned over, "I studied history, and I think this pendant is a few years old, and it is likely to be an antique." ”

Then he feigned interest and looked at the pendant closely. The illusory voice began to echo in his ears again, and he couldn't bear to show no signs of it.

"Naked men?" The black-robed man's chest rose and fell for a moment, "I'm willing to pay 50 gold pounds, sir, it's a good thing for both of us to let it go now." ”

There was ferocity in his voice.

Grandin saw calluses on his knuckles. It's a gangster, but it's not an extraordinary one. Since he is not a 'hermit' of the Aurora Society, there is no need to conflict with him now.

"It's crazy to pay 50 gold pounds for a pendant!" Grandin shook his head and walked to the stall next to him, exiting the bid.

"Humph!"

Behind him, the black-robed man snorted coldly.

However, he was willing to spend 50 gold pounds to buy a pendant, it seems that he is not looking at the wrong person, this is the goal he is looking for.

After the lack of him to disrupt the situation, the deal was quickly struck.

The man hurriedly left the black market with the pendant box in his arms.

Hugh and Furth took the gold pound in their pockets, and walked around the black market a few more times, before burrowing into an alley. By the time they came out again, they had already changed their clothes.

Hugh was dressed as a newsboy, while Foirth wore a long gray trench coat and glasses.

"Hugh, let's just say that this pendant sells for 5 gold...... Pound. Forthth stammered abruptly as she saw Grandin.

Grandin clasped his hands around his chest and leaned against the wall. When he saw them come out, he put his pocket watch in his pocket.

It was 1:45 a.m., and he decided to wait until 4 p.m. to meet Rowena.

"Good afternoon, ladies. You have fulfilled my commission, and this is a cheque for 50 gold pounds, please keep it. Grandin returned to his original appearance and greeted them with a smile.

He handed Hugh the check.

Hugh took the check in silence, her friend's behavior blushing a little.

"I, too, I helped. I'm going to have to keep that part of your 'master trick' trait. "I'll be able to scrape together the gold pounds in no time." ”

"Of course, this is all agreed before, 600 gold pounds, you can get it." Grandin nodded in promise.

Furth seems to be running out of gold pounds...... It's a bit fast, but it's normal for a writer. As long as she overcomes laziness and writes a little more, Miss Foirth is not weak in earning money. But I have to quickly separate the extraordinary characteristics of the 'apprentice' and the 'master of tricks', or I'll lose a bit.

Grandin remembered two other extraordinary traits that he had forgotten in his closet on the third floor, and he didn't know when he would be able to get his hands on them.

"After the commission, is our life back to normal?" Hugh folded the check and slipped it into his breast pocket.

"Yes, I didn't notice anyone following you. However, for the sake of safety, I still recommend that you wait at home for a few days. Grandin suggested earnestly.

Hugh and Furth are very successful in playing the little thieves, and the gang probably thinks they are real thieves without suspicion at all.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for Rowena to find the Aurora stronghold, and then he'll launch a surprise attack. It won't take long to figure this out, but there is something else weighing on his mind right now.

The Aurora gangsters killed several of the presidents of the workers' union in the warehouse...... The purposefulness of this kind of behavior, coupled with the increasing tension now, forced Grandin to think about more things.
