To be honest, Varina twisted his body a little uneasily when he saw Quaid, but fortunately he reacted immediately and covered it up with a gesture of adjusting his sitting position.

He watched carefully, only to see that no one paid attention to his movements, including Quaid who had just entered.

"Hey, I almost didn't admit myself, is this what it feels like to be a thief?"

Quaid walked straight to Susan as he entered, and explained his intentions directly: "The boss asked me to meet with York Lukka and ask a few important questions. ”

Susan couldn't help frowning when she heard such rude and direct words, but thinking of the other party's gangster background, she still resisted the urge to accuse and asked:

"So you're trying for my help to meet with Mr. Luca?"

"Yes," Quaid nodded, "I don't recognize him, and I can't get into the office over there." ”

Susan looked at Varina and John, and saw that they were both watching the excitement, so she glanced at them fiercely, and then continued to ask:

"Are there a lot of questions? Can you tell me and let me help you ask? ”

Quaid recalled the questions to be asked, and found that they would affect the reputation of the gang, so he directly shook his head: "No." ”

"I can go and see Mr. Luca and tell him about it, but he's busy and I don't guarantee he'll see you. In the meantime, I'm only going to help you this once. ”

Susan tried to be as straightforward as possible about her decision, so as not to wait for a while when things didn't go well and she would be entangled by the other party.

"Okay."

Quaid agreed, but thought to himself, "If that's not enough, then you don't have to follow the rules." ”

Is he the kind of person who follows the rules? How can it be.

If he hadn't said hello to the red-haired Kirk before he came here, he would have been screaming by now.

After Susan left, Quaid looked left and right, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Varina and John had been busy writing and sketching.

In his opinion, the job was simply a torture-like torture, and he would rather be injured in a fight than suffer such a crime.

This awkward scene of not seeing each other lasted for a while, and Susan returned.

With Mr. Luca.

York Luca decided to take the time to meet the gang for the sake of the president's face. But he was really busy, so he didn't care about decency, and as soon as they met, he spoke directly:

"What's your boss's question?"

Quaid didn't answer right away, but pointed out the door, "The three of you go out." ”

It is self-evident which three people he is referring to.

The three looked at Mr. Luca.

Mr. Luca's already furrowed brow deepened.

"Five minutes, you only have five minutes."

He squeezed the words out of his mouth, and the three of Varina immediately understood, turned and walked out of the hut.

Outside the house, the three of them stood not far away and chatted, and the topics were basically speculations about Quaid's intentions.

Five minutes were fast in coming, but Mr. Luca didn't come out.

The three of them waited a little longer, and the two of them in the hut came out together.

They left and right, and left their own way.

The three of them could only go into the house and continue their work with unsatisfied gossip.

Of course, as the culprit, Varina's performance is naturally performative.

……

In the afternoon, it was about half past two.

Queens, inside the luxurious villa of the Earl Hall's family.

When the middle-aged Earl Hall returned home, the first thing he did was to ask the servant what his precious daughter was doing.

"Miss Audrey is in the little study, sir."

Earl Hall nodded slightly, and after taking three steps, he suddenly paused, and commanded:

"You go to the butler at once, and let him go to the treasury and choose a suitable gift for the young lady."

"Get to the rest room, preferably quickly."

A manservant took the order, bowed, and quickly turned to leave.

Count Hall restarted his steps, walked to the rest room, and commanded, "Send afternoon tea in advance, and send it to the rest room as well." ”

In the process, he reached for the buttons of his coat, trying to make it easier for himself.

The valet had been by Earl Hall's side.

He pointed with his eyes to one of the maids beside him to inform the kitchen, and as he stepped forward quickly, helped the Count undress, and then placed his coat in the crook of his arm.

Relaxation room.

Soon after the Earl of Hall was seated, a competent maid brought black tea and dessert.

While enjoying it, Earl Hall casually flipped through today's Beckland Morning Post.

After a while, the butler hurried in and placed the fine gift box in his hand in front of the earl.

"Sir, the gift has been chosen, it is a golden armband of the Ancient Bailang Empire." "But it's just an ordinary piece of men's jewelry, and you may need to arrange a mysterious owner for it," said the butler. ”

With a smile in his eyes, Earl Hall nodded and said, "Well done." ”

"So what advice do you have about this 'mysterious master'?"

The butler apparently had already prepared the answer to this question, "Folklore, the god of death worshiped by the ancient Bailang Empire had an heir who had the title of 'Archon of Death'. ”

"Good."

Earl Hall put down the newspaper and asked affirmatively, "Is she still in the little study?" ”

"Yes, sir."

The Earl nodded, got up and left, and the valet followed with the box in his hand.

……

Small study.

This is Miss Audrey Hall's exclusive study, filled with books that are barely related to the occult - books that are far from the real occult books.

Miss Audrey, 16, is reading a newly arrived "occult book" with her head down.

Her valet Anne stood in the doorway, with a big golden retriever dog lying at her feet.

Anne noticed that the Earl was approaching with a valet, and hurriedly opened the door and reported to the young lady: "Miss, the earl is here. ”

When Audrey looked up from her book, she saw her father coming in. She smiled sweetly and asked, "Dad, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing to do?" Earl Hall smiled gently, "Or did I disturb you?" ”

"How so?"

Audrey took a few steps forward, took the Count's arm, pulled him to the desk and sat down, and said in a coquettish tone: "Daddy, you are usually so busy, and rarely come to see me in the afternoon. ”

The Count patted Audrey's white arm and said:

"I'm here to give you a gift, you see, a mysterious treasure, from the Grim Reaper of the Ancient Byran Empire."

By the time the Count entered the door, the valet had already handed the box to the maid Anne. At this time, following the Count's words, Anne held the gift box in front of Audrey.

Audrey cheered, pulled the ribbon on the gift box, and opened it on the spot.

"Huh? A men's armband. ”

Her voice sounded a little disgusted, "Dad, is it really an extraordinary object, why doesn't it look like it at all?" ”

"Maybe it's a special ceremony for it to show its extraordinaryness?"

The Count coped with ease, and his words were bewitching: "You are so clever, I think you will be able to solve this puzzle." ”

"Well, another sealed treasure." Audrey puffed out her cheeks and looked playful and cute.

At this time, Count Hall saw the opportunity and asked:

"Audrey, I want to get a gift from you today, do you think it's okay?"
