7 p.m., 13 Rose Avenue, Baron Bill's residence.

The tall villa swept away the decadence of the previous day, the expensive gas lamps were all lit, and a pale yellow glow shone in every pane of glass, and private carriages stopped in front of the door, and ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes and delicate makeup walked down one by one, holding their partners' arms.

Tonight's banquet was specially organized by Baron Bill to celebrate the fact that the Blood Rose had not been stolen, and he stood at the door in a crisp tuxedo to greet the invited guests, his face radiant and the same as the day before, and his face always kept a bright smile.

"Sir George, welcome to you.... Well, that's right, I'll be exhibiting the Blood Rose tonight..."

"Ah, dear Charles, I thought you were going to be late tonight! Come on in, I've got your favorite Orb champagne..."

A figure suddenly came to Baron Bill.

Baron Bill, who was hugging his friend Charles, saw that the other party was wearing a Dalaris robe, his eyes lit up, and he thought it was Mavi coming: "Father, you... Father Satuk? ”

The smile froze, and instantly turned into consternation, Baron Bill looked at Father Satuk standing in front of him, and was a little unresponsive for a while.

He sent out many invitations, but there was only one church, and that was the Truth Church, where Ma Wei worked.

After all, his previous relationship with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny was average, he had seen each other, and he could name each other, but he didn't have much to do with each other.

Again...

The Blood Rose case has nothing to do with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, so why invite them?

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny who visited without receiving an invitation...

In Baron Bill's eyes, it was an uninvited guest.

"I heard that Baron Bill is holding a banquet at your home to prepare for the display of blood roses, and I have always been interested in precious stones, so I was not invited."

Father Satuk glanced at the priest Ernest behind him, asked him to take out the aged red wine that had been prepared in advance, and said with a smile: "This is a little heart, please accept it." ”

"Father, are you interested in gemstones?"

"Well, is there anyone in New Ross who doesn't know that Baron Bill has a priceless ruby?"

"Hmm..."

Baron Bill pondered for a moment, but accepted the gift: "Welcome, Father Satuk, the first room ahead is the banquet hall. ”

"Thank you."

.........................................

"Daddy, Daddy! It's so lively there! ”

Outside Baron Bill's residence, Unia looked at the golden villa in the distance, and said with some excitement: "There must be a lot of delicious food at the banquet!" ”

"Of course, it's a dizzying amount of it."

Touching his daughter's head, Mavi looked at Father Satuk and the two who were standing at the door of the villa, and when they had successfully entered, they were just about to catch up when a four-wheeled carriage stopped beside them.

Click...

The door slowly opened, and in the dark compartment, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting inside, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Ma Wei recognized the other party at a glance.

"Don't play tricks here, Dino."

"I thought it would scare you..."

A kerosene lamp was lit in the carriage, and Dino, the gray wolf in an evening dress, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Ma Wei and the three with interest, his eyes stayed on Levin for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Who is he?" ”

"The Church's new monk, Levine Bojie."

"You're going to start expanding?"

With just a small change, Dino judged Ma Wei's inner thoughts, and he raised his eyebrows: "Recently, the Church of Truth has done a lot of things, and it is involved in the fashion industry and recruiting.... I've never seen you in such a hurry before. ”

Ma Wei didn't want to talk about this on the street, he looked at Dino's evening dress and frowned: "Where are you going?" ”

"Baron Bill's mansion, attend the banquet, just like you."

Dino, who had read the newspapers, apparently knew about the Blood Rose case.

"Do you know Baron Bill?"

"Isn't it just that we know each other, but we are business partners, okay?" Dino rolled his eyes: "The Chamber of Commerce I run has a lot of investment from nobles and gentry, and Baron Bill is one of the investors, and he only takes dividends and doesn't care about anything else, otherwise how do you think I can make a comeback in just three years?" ”

"Oh... So can you hook up with the fourth prince Arthur? ”

Although Mavi thought that Arthur, the fourth prince, was a careerist and would not immediately agree to Bishop Fowler's proposal, he did not like to pin his hopes on others.

"The Fourth Prince?" Dino shook his head: "No, I also wanted to ask him to invest in the Chamber of Commerce before, but I was rejected." ”

"Well... It's okay, you go first, we'll be there later. ”

"Hmm."

Nodding to Levin, Dino closed the car door and came to the villa.

"Pluto!"

Seeing Dino, Baron Bill opened his arms, stepped forward very happily, and hugged him heavily: "Welcome, welcome!" I haven't seen you in a long time, what have you been up to lately? ”

"I went to the royal capital two days ago, and I was busy with some business matters, and I just came back this afternoon." Dino grinned: "I brought this month's Chamber of Commerce dividends, a total of 300 gold pounds, still the same as before, the check of the Thames Bank, you can exchange it at any bank." ”

"Okay, it's too cold outside, let's come in and talk."

"Until then, I have something to tell you."

Baron Bill was stunned by his serious expression, he paused, came to a secluded place with Dino, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"On the issue of the equity of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce." Dino said: "I will hold a shareholder meeting in the near future, and I will let you know today. ”

"Is the Pluto Chamber of Commerce having business problems?"

"No, um... I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to quit. ”

"What?!"

Baron Bill looked at him in shock like a bolt from the blue: "Pluto... You don't have a fever, do you? The Chamber of Commerce's income has been getting higher and higher over the years, making more and more money year by year, and withdrawing at this time is not giving up your hard work? Are you in trouble? If you are short of money, just say, I will lend it to you, the Chamber of Commerce can't live without you! ”

"It's not about money."

Dino said: "There are many things in this world that cannot be solved by money, money is very important, but it is not omnipotent. ”

"You're terminally ill?!"

“.... No, don't talk nonsense, I'm healthy. ”

"Then you.... Oh! Father Mavi! You're finally here! ”

Baron Bill, who was still six gods and no master in the last second, smiled in the next second, left a sentence of 'talk later', and walked quickly towards the three of Ma Wei.

"Father Mavi, you are the protagonist of tonight's banquet, and I have been looking forward to your coming!"

Baron Bill smiled and said, "No one can miss you without you!" ”

The warm welcome made Marvey feel slightly uncomfortable, because he found that Baron Bill's smile was a little fake, and it was a heartfelt emotion...

It doesn't seem like a lot.

It's not a show, but it gives people a very strange feeling....

A sense of disobedience.

It's like having some kind of purpose.
