Chapter 116: Miscalculation
After a pause, he ignored Haaland Rodrigo's stunned eyes and coughed lightly: "Fortunately, I was invited to my friend's house tonight, otherwise the secret that my friend's husband buried in his heart would have really become a secret." ”
After speaking, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, quietly waiting for Haaland Rodrigo's digestion, and at the same time secretly ashamed in his heart.
Offended, Mr. Haaland, the story is a bit outrageous, but I'm also here to reconcile you and your daughter...... Sean slowly tasted the Ceylon black tea in this mouthful, and inexplicably felt that it was very delicious.
It took a while for Haaland Rodrigo to recover from his shock, his mouth twitched a few times, and finally he looked at Sean with a wary look and said, "Mr. Sean, I am grateful that you came to tell the news in person, but what I want to know is why you didn't go to my daughter first, but me." ”
He is not a fool, before this, he and Sean have never met, nor do they have any deep friendship, even if the other party is loving, they will not be in such a hurry to visit him in the middle of the night.
Then the answer is obvious, the reason why the other party came must be motivated, and even, there is a high probability that the other party wants to trade with his daughter's news.
Sean naturally noticed the change in Haaland's expression, and after sighing at the other party's caution, he smiled and said: "Mr. Haaland, since that's all I said, I won't go around in circles, in fact, the purpose of my coming today is very simple, I want to know what one of the decks of cards in the next tarot lottery is." ”
Haaland Rodrigo suddenly realized, and said with an ugly face: "So you want me to help you cheat." ”
Sean touched his nose to hide the embarrassment in his heart, and coughed lightly: "Mr. Haaland, you can't say that, I'm just asking you for help, you can completely refuse...... However, I can tell you one thing in advance, and that is that your daughter has actually wanted to recognize you all these years. ”
Haaland Rodrigo's body shook, and he bowed his head silently, his eyes full of struggle and hesitation.
Sean was not in a hurry at all, and slowly sipped the fragrant black tea in the teacup, giving the other party enough time to think.
He was very sure that the other party would definitely make the most correct and logical choice between the whereabouts of his daughter and a small favor.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Sean's cup of tea was about to be drunk, Haaland Rodrigo slowly raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Mr. Sean, I'm sorry, you can go back." ”
......
On the way back to the "Hunters' Guild", Sean was no longer in the mood to ride in the carriage, and his eyes were full of distress while holding Miss Lucy.
He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that Haaland Rodrigo would not eat this set at all, and even the other party could resist the huge temptation to find his own daughter, which has to be said that the other party is a more principled person than he imagined.
"Ms. Kelly is really, such an important piece of information has been omitted, which is too unprofessional."
The autumn wind of the night slapped on Sean's cheeks, stiff and dry, and surprisingly consistent with his mood at the moment.
Miss Lucy, who was in her arms, opened her eyes and suddenly said, "You are quite strange, since that person has already rejected you, why do you still tell him the news of his daughter?" ”
Sean was silent, his eyes were complicated, and he said to himself, "Maybe I'm a fool." ”
"Fool?" Miss Lucy turned her head to look at Sean for a moment, and said with a strange gaze, "You're a little self-aware. ”
Sean stiffened, smiling wryly and not knowing what to reply.
"Actually, you can ask the black cat."
At this moment, Miss Lucy suddenly yawned lazily and moved her ass to make herself more comfortable in Sean's arms.
Sean was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Brother Tom? ”
"Huh."
Miss Lucy did not respond again, but closed her eyes as if she were asleep.
Sean was used to this, and just thought about it as he went.
Why is Lucy so kind all of a sudden? With its indifferent character, this is not scientific! Or does it have ulterior motives and some ulterior motives?
The more Sean thought about it, the more cautious he became, especially when he thought of the terrifying power that Miss Lucy had inadvertently exposed just now, which made him feel like a man.
It can be said that Miss Lucy is the most bizarre existence he has encountered so far, although she is a harmless white cat on the outside, but the unfathomable strength and mind of the other party make him understand that if he is careless because of this, he will inevitably pay an unimaginable price.
With mixed feelings, Sean returned to the Hunters' Guild and met Kelly Marshall, who was about to sit still.
Kelly Marcile was happy to see Sean, but soon she saw something in Sean's expression and comforted: "It's okay, it's really not good, let's bet once." ”
Sean shook his head, carefully returned Miss Lucy in his arms to the other party, and then beckoned to Brother Tom who was sulking on the side.
Tom snorted and twisted his head.
The corners of Sean's mouth curled slightly, and he said softly, "Caramel grilled fish." ”
Tom's nose moved, but he remained unmoved.
The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, and he said lightly: "Two!" ”
"Humph!"
Tom snorted heavily, turned his head and walked outside.
Sean smiled at Ms. Kelly, who had a strange face, said "Don't be in a hurry about the lottery first", and hurried away.
Although Kelly Marcile wanted to buy a lottery ticket immediately to make a lot of money, she also knew that there was only one chance, and she had to be cautious and cautious, so she didn't say anything, just stroked Lucy's hair and said to herself: "Lucy, you say, can Sean and I win the lottery this time?" ”
Lucy opened her eyes slightly, then closed them again, looking uninterested in anything......
......
After a lot of effort, he finally found a grilled fish restaurant to eliminate Tom's dissatisfaction, and one man and one cat went home.
Sean was worried that Lucy would have bad intentions, so he didn't mention the lottery to Tom, but came to the bathroom alone after Tom was napping on the couch and sleeping.
So many things have happened in a row, and he has not entered the saint, this time he has to study how to maximize his identity as the owner of the magic mirror.
Skillfully filling the sink with water, Sean sank his head into the water, and soon, the familiar burning sensation in his chest appeared, and the long-lost heartbeat gradually filled his ears, and his eyes twisted, and the familiar walls and magic mirrors reappeared in his sight.
Sean got up from the high-backed chair, arranged the gold coins, charms, and keys placed in the saint and placed them on the silver box, and then went to the magic mirror and pressed his left hand up.
Soon, the respectful face of Hypnos reappeared.
"Welcome, honorable host."
