Chapter 179: Born Extraordinary
Redemption - His Excellency Hugo Hall, the British son of impeccable manners, once again unabashedly and nakedly showed his devil's fangs.
For this reason, after praying his last prayer before Christmas in the church to remember his ancestors, he sincerely repented for three seconds.
As for what shady means Luca will use to redeem Jordan Belfort in the future, it has nothing to do with him, just like Helena only knows that Gagosian is willing to serve the Hall family.
Of course, Helena will also come up with a total of £5 million in cash to support the strategy for the 'Eastern European Energy Footprint', which needs to be washed over and will have to arrive late.
"We should at least invite Mr. Gagosian to dinner." She said with a little reproach.
Hall disappreliantly reassured: "There will be a chance in the future, we should go to the airport." ”
Five million pounds would turn into a house in Northern Europe, the United States, and Australia, bank certificates and private school offers, as well as a host of luxury consumables. According to the black market dollar exchange rate in the Soviet Union mentioned by Isabella a few days ago, it is enough to make Gagosian a boy who is loved by everyone.
So he didn't take much extra risk, and this black intermediary was already engaged in the sale and purchase of assets for the transfer of assets of the Soviet elite.
It is still too early to wait until the Berlin Wall is torn down next year, and Hall is willing to put down the sparkling water and have a glass of wine with him.
After arranging the next direction of the family, the mother and son said goodbye to the old butler, Mr. Atwood, and then went directly from Orange Manor to Leeds City Airport, where they boarded a flight to Sweden to see the Northern Lights.
They have to stay in Sweden until January 3 for Hall's birthday, and Luca has to return to New York after Christmas to try to redeem Jordan Belfort, the lost lamb; Aunt Caroline finally had a holiday and decided to spend Christmas with her family.
Counting with his fingers, he simply didn't even bring a servant, only Cheng Chen, an entourage.
All the past is prologue, and next year's story is about to begin, and everyone needs a short leisure time.
The place to see the aurora is set in Abisko, a village in the northern Swedish province of Lapland, where there is a polar night phenomenon in winter in the Arctic Circle, so many itineraries are arranged for a ten-day holiday.
The three spent Christmas Eve in a quiet port town in Norway after snow, riding a reindeer sleigh through the windswept Finnish Arctic wilderness on Christmas Day, painting oil paint and jumping into the cold river of Stockholm, Sweden.
Finally, three days before his birthday, Cheng Chen returned to New York alone, and after the Christmas holiday, high-intensity social activities were ushered in.
Hall and Helena rush to Abiscu in search of Aurora.
Abisko Park is considered the best place to see the Northern Lights, but Hall and Helena came at the wrong time, and the weather was so cold from late December to early January that it was impossible to ride a sleigh and had to stop and go along the road.
And the aurora only has to be seen in a clear and cloudless night sky, and despite the fact that the guide is very professional, he didn't see anything for the first two nights.
It wasn't until the early hours of Hall's birthday night that they saw the aurora at the Aurora Sky Station.
"The aurora has exploded!"
Some tourists excitedly raised their cameras and ran outside.
Hall and Helena also hurriedly followed, the snow reflected pink light, and a green gauze light curtain slowly floated in the sky, which actually looked more like the sea.
He suddenly fell into the snow with a "poof" and closed his eyes.
"Hugo, what's wrong with you? Hugo? Hey, Hugo...... What happened to you?! Helena hurriedly bent down to her knees.
"Hey, hey." Hall smiled mischievously, "I think it's best to see the aurora from this angle." ”
Helena blinked blankly, her brown eyes brushed the messy hair around her ears, tightened her mink coat, and stood up and walked towards the Sky Station.
Hall raised his head and shouted, "What's wrong with you?" Don't be angry, I'm kidding. ”
shouted a few times but didn't get a reply, so I had to get up and prepare to coax.
As a result, as soon as he stood up and patted the snow on his buttocks, he looked up and saw Helena turn around and speed towards him, and her bloated warm clothes seemed to be clumsy and slow.
Hall only needed to use the quick-witted cerebellum to know what would happen in a few seconds, but he didn't dare to hide for fear of falling her, so he had to tilt his head and close his eyes, and spread his hands in place and pretended to be dead.
Helena's prank comeback was successfully completed with the cooperation of her opponent, and both of them fell in the snow, silent and could hear the warm breath in their ears.
"It's beautiful." After a long time, Hall said with a yawn.
The aurora eruption in the sky is getting stronger and stronger, and pink and purple appear in the green, colorful and mysterious.
Got no response.
He couldn't help but put his hand behind his back and poked it twice, Helena took off her gloves, took out two whole small biscuits from her pocket with difficulty, and handed him one: "It's time to make a wish." ”
The guide said that in Sweden, you can make a wish come true by breaking gingerbread into three pieces.
Hall crunched the cold gingerbiscuit into his mouth and chewed, "It's only when I see it with my own eyes that I believe that light has shape...... Phew, how can there be soot ......"
"It was ashes, and I saw a tourist holding an urn, and the aurora was hard to come by, and his wife wanted to be with it."
"Vomit ......"
"Happy birthday, Hugo, we met the Aurora." Helena whispered.
