Chapter 121: The Heartache-Pounding Mr. Fool and the Heart-wrenching Miss Justice
It would be impossible to say that Crane was not interested in that large sum of money, after all, it was fifteen thousand gold pounds, not fifteen thousand pieces of paper.
Even if the sum of money he had just gotten was only a part of it, it was a huge sum of five thousand gold pounds, which he had never seen in his life.
Although Crane was at the Tarot meeting, when he heard Miss Justice say that he would give himself fifteen thousand gold pounds, he acted like a light man, as if he was not interested in money at all.
But that was just a way for him to maintain his form.
Just now, the five thousand gold pounds of money were placed in front of him, and the scent of ink attached to the banknotes was still fresh in his memory.
How could this be unimpressed for Crane, who usually hasn't even reached four figures in his deposits?
If he had these five thousand pounds, then not only would he be able to easily pay off Gawain's eight hundred and fifty pounds in arrears, but he would also not have to worry about the cost of materials for his promotion in the future.
By the time Crane and Benson Melissa had met, the 5,000 gold pounds would greatly improve their lives.
As he was writing the letter just now, the scent of ink from the five thousand pound bill kept drilling into Crane's nose, and a voice in his head bewitched him, telling him to give this large amount of gold pounds and not to Mr. Azik—
"Where would a big man like Mr. Azik put this money in his eyes? Settle down, he will understand you and will not blame you for it. ”
"Come on, Crane, Mr. Azik won't even know about it, with this money, your life will be much better, don't you want Benson and Melissa to have a better life?"
But after some psychological struggle, Crane finally wrote the amount of fifteen thousand pounds on the letter, and then summoned the Bone Courier and handed him the money along with the letter.
Crane leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring blankly at the place where the gold pound had been placed on the table just now, and his nose seemed to be able to smell the residual aroma of the money.
Just now, he personally gave out the five thousand gold pounds, and the next ten thousand gold pounds that he will get one after another may also be given out through his hands.
"If this money hadn't passed through my hands, I probably wouldn't have been so uncomfortable, hey, this feeling is so painful, it's almost distressing......" Crane touched his chest and said to himself with a wry smile.
Just then, Crane heard the bell ringing on the door.
He came to the door and opened it, and found a brown-haired boy standing outside the door.
……
Friday afternoon, Viscounts Grelynt House, Queens.
The door of the study was tightly closed, completely separating the four people sitting inside from the outside guests who participated in the salon.
"Hugh, Forthth, this is your due." Audrey, dressed in a long yellow dress embellished with lace, pushed two rather bulging envelopes to the two ladies across the desk.
Hugh was about to say a few polite words, but by this time, her hand was already uncontrollable, and she grabbed the envelope one step faster than her thoughts, and felt the weight of money in it.
Her hands were faster than her mouth, so she had to say sincerely:
"Miss Audrey, thank you for your kindness, your honesty makes you more beautiful."
As she spoke, she untied the thin thread around the envelope and saw the bills inside.
It is a neatly colored black banknote on a gray background, thick, exuding a special ink fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed by the ink fragrance.
"10 pounds......" Hugh pulled out one and confirmed the denomination, and Furth, who seemed to be lazy and didn't care about money, came over at some point.
This, at least...... Hugh observed the thickness and figured out how many there were.
She couldn't help but glance at Furth and saw the surprise in each other's eyes:
That's a lot more than they imagined!
Audrey smiled lightly:
"The information you've gathered is crucial, and it's been my way to the whereabouts of Ziringus.
"So, two envelopes are two thousand pounds in total, and this is what you deserve, and you decide for yourselves how to divide it."
"I'm sorry that put you in danger."
In Audrey's opinion, it was based on the information obtained by the two ladies in front of her that Mr. Power was able to keenly see through Ziringers' plan, so that her family could survive the crisis.
That's a lot of money, and there's really no need to apologize at all, and if I knew I could get paid so much, even if I knew the possible consequences, I would have accepted the commission...... Hugh, who was petite, looked at the banknotes in front of him in a daze, eager to draw them all out and count them repeatedly.
She believed that the generous and beautiful Miss Audrey would definitely not be short of pay, but what if the other party was wrong?
But Hugh finally got in control and didn't let her hands think of themselves again.
The corners of Furth's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he sighed:
"This is the first time I've seen a four-figure money ......"
Should I praise Miss Audrey, or laugh at the poverty of the writer? She added silently.
Viscount Greinte, who was sitting on the sofa, was also a little envious, but not Hugh and Forthth, as a viscount with a fairly good financial situation, more than a thousand pounds was not a large amount.
What he envied was Audrey's boldness and no burden at all.
"Ahem......" Viscount Greint cleared his throat, "if you can get the recipe for the 'Apothecary', I'll pay you a lot of money." ”
"We do our best!" Hugh replied without hesitation, and then she looked at Audrey, "We've recently come into contact with someone who is suspected of being a psychic alchemist, and the 'audience' potion you want will soon have clues. ”
Hugh, I'm already in sequence 8?, better than you...... Audrey smiled reservedly:
"I'm looking forward to it."
After finishing business, the four of them chatted about various rumors in the extraordinary circle, and under Audrey's demonstration, they each looked for the book they wanted to read.
Suddenly, Hugh's eyes lit up and he saw two hard-covered books:
History of the nobility of the Kingdom of Rune and Heraldry.
At the same time, Foirth also found books that interested him:
"Geography of the Figures of the Empire of Fursac" and "Around the Northern Continent".
"Dear Viscount Greinte, may I borrow these two books? I will return it soon. Hugh looked pleadingly at the master of the study.
Gleilynt nodded indifferently:
"No problem."
Hearing his answer, Furth hastened to make a request as well, which was also granted.
The corners of Audrey's mouth, who witnessed all this, hooked slightly, looked to the side reservedly, and pretended to be looking for a book.
As a qualified and promoted "spectator", after many encounters, she had accurately grasped the preferences of Hugh and Firth in certain aspects, so that she could make arrangements in advance without anyone noticing.
And this kind of silent guidance is also the embodiment of the audience's ability.
