Chapter 95: Speechless
Upon realizing the true identity of the jewelry designer, Varina became nervous.
First, he used the extraordinary ability of "misleading" just now, and it is estimated that the identity of the extraordinary person has been detected by the other party;
The second is the other party's actions just now, if it is not intended to sabotage his plan, it is spying on himself.
No, you have to bang back!
After making up his mind, and waiting for Roger and Wadden's compliments to speak, Varina took the opportunity to say:
"Mr. Arukaard, I have heard that you are an excellent psychiatrist in addition to being a master jeweler, may I take the liberty of visiting you?"
He has accentuated the pronunciation of the word "psychiatrist".
Mr. Arukaard turned his head to see the malice in Varina's eyes.
Of course, this fleeting moment is very easy to be dismissed as an illusion.
But he's a Sequence 7 "psychiatrist" and believes he can't be wrong. So...... Is this a threat?
He was stunned, and regretted his previous random spying.
He was a little overbearing, but he didn't expect that the other party was not an ordinary extraordinary, but he was so keen, and he judged his own sequence with just one sentence.
You know, he has just determined that the other party is indeed extraordinary. As for the sequence, it can only be said that it has narrowed down, probably one of the "lawyers", "scammers" and "instigators".
But this doesn't match the malice just now...... Could it be that he is a "cold-blooded person"?!
Mr. Arukaard's mind raced, and he quickly smiled rather warmly, "If it's a formal visit, you're welcome." β
"Yes, if I'm free during the day."
Varina smiled and nodded, having a more accurate grasp of Mr. Arukaard's attitude, which seemed to be a choice.
Of course, he will not let his guard down because of this, after all, he must "watch out for the audience".
Fortunately, Mr. Arukaard did show sincerity, and in the subsequent verbal exchange between Roger and Waldden, he also began to use language to guide and soften the attitudes of both sides.
He and Varina cooperated, "misleading" and "persuading" followed by "appeasement", and soon made the two protagonists abandon their preconceptions and shake hands.
"Everyone, about the gambling game these days, at today's afternoon tea party, I think I can give you a result." Roger held the large jewelry box and shouted to attract the attention of all the guests.
Wadden stepped forward, reached out and opened the jewelry box in Roger's hand, showing the exquisite diamond necklace with a large aquamarine pendant inside, and said:
"Roger and I decided to shake hands and make peace, and the bet was cancelled."
Roger followed up and said, "This 'La Mer Heart' necklace will be owned by me and Wadden as a testament to our friendship." β
This unexpected ending surprised the guests who came to the afternoon tea and talked about it.
"Click!"
The Mike reporter, who had been prepared, seized the opportunity and captured the scene of the reconciliation between the two.
He hurriedly slipped into the small notebook in his coat pocket and jotted down this key message, "Roger and Waden canceled the gambling settlement, and the bounty hunter Lexa seems to be the key figure." β
β¦β¦
Before the end of the afternoon tea party, Varina was reminded by the servant to stay at the end and leave.
In the foyer of the villa, he meets with Roger, who has just sent off his guests.
Roger looked at Varina, showing a hint of disappointment, "Originally, you did a very good job, and I was going to double your bounty." β
"It's a pity that because of your caution, my victory was not obvious enough."
He looked at Varina, shook his head, and said, "Like you said, you're really just a bounty hunter. β
"However, you still completed my commission, so the bounty will not be less than yours."
The manservant on the side stepped forward at this time and handed over a bulging envelope.
Varina took it, didn't check it, stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity." β
"I hope there will be a chance to work together next time."
With that, he put on his top hat, nodded in greeting, and walked out of the foyer.
β¦β¦
Although there were some twists and turns, the result was good.
On the return carriage, Varina opened the envelope, counted it, and found that the bounty Roger had finally offered was Β£600.
Do the math, plus the 300 pounds from Wadden's side, and owe Marich a little, even if you take into account the material premium, there is no problem in terms of money to take down the two main materials of the Sequence 7 "Witch" potion.
The premise is that MariΔ's circle is a little more powerful and can find two materials.
Varina then thought about the "psychologist", Mr. Arukaard.
With a brief "state of reasoning", Varina recalls that this gentleman is a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society and the head of the future review of Miss Audrey "Justice" joining the Psychological Alchemy Society.
It shouldn't be a big problem for the time being.
This is Varina's final judgment.
After all, he only exposed the identity of the bounty hunter, and the other party exposed more, and if they hurt each other, it was obviously the other party who suffered more.
As for a longer period later?
At that time, he had probably become a "witch" and had changed his identity, so there was no need to worry.
Back at her lodgings, Varina was surprised to find that Qili was not there.
This is rare, didn't she always stay at home in the past?
However, considering that she is also restricted by the Witch Sect, maybe she has a new mission, which is not abnormal.
Varina shook her head, cleaned up, and after bathing in the bathroom, she slept under the covers.
He hadn't slept for nearly two days and one night.
If he were an ordinary person, I am afraid that during afternoon tea, Varina would be dizzy and completely unable to lead the reconciliation ceremony he had designed, let alone have a brief confrontation with a "psychiatrist".
β¦β¦
Varina thought he could sleep until the morning of the 14th, but apparently he miscalculated.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the witch's boss woke him up.
"I bought you dinner," Qi Li said, gesturing to the wooden lunch box she had on the table, "Also, tell me what you've been up to these days." β
It doesn't feel like it's asleep, but after being woken up, Varina does feel hungry.
Anyway, he didn't eat the food brought by Qi Li, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and came back to sit at the table and start moving.
After the meal, he gave Qi Li a presumptuous description of the first bounty task he had completed, accompanied by a reason he had made up.
"That's it, I did dominate the development of the whole event with my ability to instigate, but there was very little feedback from the play, so to speak, almost nothing."
"So, I still need to continue to explore and find a better way to play."
Qi Li sat cross-legged on his bed, her chin in her left hand, and after listening to Varina's words, she carefully worded and tactfully suggested:
"Perhaps, playing the role of 'instigator' requires more than just 'instigation', more importantly, to induce the evil desire in the target's heart and produce some worse consequences?"
Alas, of course I know that...... I even know the quickest way to digest it, just like Triss did in the books...... But I don't want to be that bad......
Looking at the silent Varina, Qi Li said in a gentle tone again:
"It's okay, you have time to try it slowly."
"I've picked out two new 'assassins' in the past few days, and I'll give them any tasks."
Varina was speechless, feeling that she had taken on too much kindness, and her heart was a little heavy.
