"Huh." Kelly Marcile chuckled lightly and said with a mysterious expression, "Don't be so painful, believe me, when you get to know this club, not to mention the annual fee of 30 gold coins, it is 300 gold coins, and you will accept it." ”

Sean was stunned for a moment, and wanted to continue asking, but he saw Brother Tom on his shoulder suddenly move his ears and said in surprise: "Hey, what kind of sound is this?" ”

As he spoke, it didn't wait for Sean to ask, and suddenly jumped on the ground and ran towards what looked like an "elevator" in the distance.

Sean was startled and hurriedly chased after him.

Kelly Marcile was a little strange because she couldn't understand Tom's words, but out of caution, she still put a free hand into her pocket, and as for Lucy in her arms, she arched into her arms so as not to accidentally fall off.

At the door of the elevator stood two sturdy men in white shirts and vests, who didn't pay attention when they saw the black cat running over, but just swept their eyes to Sean and Kelly Marcile chasing behind, and after confirming the membership badges on their chests, they relaxed their vigilance.

"Sean, down there."

Brother Tom looked at the switch knob blocked by the two security guards in front of him, and knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, so he knocked on the ground with his paws.

Sean nodded slightly, beckoned to Brother Tom, and after Brother Tom jumped on his shoulder again, he said to one of the security guards, "Hello, please open the door." ”

Kelly Marcile also walked over at this moment and smiled: "Death is not the end. ”

"Okay, please wait."

The security guard bowed slightly, pulled down the switch handle behind him sideways, and the wooden door in front of the two suddenly slowly opened to both sides, revealing an open suitcase hanging in mid-air.

The display of the suitcase is carved with beautiful, luxurious lines, and there is a complex gear mechanism on the top, although Sean can't understand the specific operating principle, but basically guesses that this is a simple mechanical elevator.

Brother Tom jumped in with a "swish", Sean hurriedly followed, and Kelly smiled and thanked him, and carried Lucy into the wooden box last.

Squeak! The security guard pulled down the switch handle again, and the wooden door slowly closed.

"Ms. Kelly, this is ......"

Before Sean finished speaking, he felt a shock to the wooden box, and then as if riding a Ferris wheel, his body slowly moved downward with the wooden box.

"This is a wooden wheel ladder, also called the Roman ladder, which was transformed by the first emperor ancient Rome according to the waterwheel he invented back then, although it is outdated for today's era, but Viscount Red is very fond of these ancient objects."

Well, ancient Rome again...... Sean looked at Ms. Kelly who was smiling and explaining, and didn't know how to complain about his familiar and strange fellow for a while.

While speaking, the Roman staircase had stopped at an entrance, and before the two of them could act, they saw that Tom had already jumped one step ahead.

At this time, even Kelly Marcile saw how anxious Brother Tom was.

The two glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them.

This is a high-ceilinged hall the size of a swimming pool, the hall is gorgeously decorated, there are waiters who serve wine and fruits, the overall layout of the hall is a clean and tidy counter, some of the counters are already people, and there are bottles and cans and all kinds of strange items on the table.

"This is the club's underground market, and it's the only illegal place that is acquiesced in by the authorities."

Kelly Marshall's gaze fell on Brother Tom, who was squatting at a counter, and said, "I forgot to tell you, there is a fee for trading here, huh..... One tenth of the transaction amount, both the seller and the buyer have to pay. ”

Sean was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Viscount Red is really a good person, he can obviously grab it directly, but he also generously built a trading market for us." ”

It took a while for Kelly Marcile to understand that Sean was sarcastic about Viscount Red, and immediately cried and laughed: "Sean, don't think Viscount Red is greedy, you know, can make the three major churches and the city government acquiesce to the existence of this market, do you think Viscount Red only relies on his own title?" ”

Sean was silent, although he may not know the unspoken rules of this world as well as Ms. Kelly, but human nature has the same end, even if he has not seen it, he can still guess some of the unspoken rules under the table of this world.

However, when he guessed it, he still felt a little painful when he thought of one-tenth of the handling fee.

Good guys, although I don't know how much the daily turnover of this trading market is, even if it is only 1,000 gold coins, counting the two-way handling fee of the buyer and the seller, there is a net income of 200 gold coins per day, which is 6,000 gold coins a month and 72,000 gold coins a year.

Well, I'll admit I'm jealous...... Sean clenched his fists with some blushing, and for the first time deeply realized what it means to be a profiteering industry, what it means to not pit the poor, and what it means to be a conscientious capitalist who likes to do charity.

Oh no, and add the names of real estate dealers and bankers.

"Alright, let's go over and see why Brother Tom is so anxious to come here."

As soon as Kelly Marcile finished speaking, she was stunned and said to herself, "When did I get used to calling this black cat Brother Tom?" ”

Sean came back to his senses and was about to speak, when suddenly a beautiful piano sound sounded in his ears.

He subconsciously followed the sound to look, but in the middle of the hall, a gentleman in a black tuxedo, a bow tie, and a high silk top hat of the same color was sitting elegantly in front of the piano and playing the piano.

Next to the piano was an expensive cane inlaid with gold, and the shimmering golden luster seemed to silently indicate the noble status of the owner to the surroundings.

The gentleman looked about forty years old, and on his thin lips was a black mustache that spread like an umbrella, and the mustache swayed slightly with the swaying of his body, which had a unique charm.

"Viscount Red!?"

Kelly Marcile also noticed this scene, but she covered her mouth and snorted softly, obviously not expecting to meet the famous Viscount Hunter Red here.

Sean was also shocked to meet the owner of the club here, and was hesitating whether to continue listening to the piano level of this Viscount Red, when suddenly he felt that this Viscount Red looked a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but shake his body, and finally remembered where he had seen this noble viscount.

That's right, that day, Lady Jessica and I met the nobleman with a gold-studded cane in front of a cloakshop on our way to Hogg House...... At the same time, Sean was suddenly a little puzzled in his heart, with such a noble status as Viscount Red, why did he go to such an ordinary coat shop to buy things?
