The menorah on the wall illuminated the corridor, and Malinda could clearly see what was written on the paper,

Suddenly, the lady blinked her beautiful blue eyes, and the surprise on her face flashed.

And then there's the ......

Cheerfully!

The lady crossed her fingers with her hands crossed, shook her wrists rapidly, and her feet jumped to the ground in a rhythmic manner.

It looked like a warm-up boxer.

It was clear that the lady was prepared to fulfill those two words seriously.

The candlesticks of the candlesticks followed the lady's small jump, and jumped with joy, as if they were ready to cheer for the lady at any moment.

Arthur didn't hesitate, and quickly took out another piece of paper that he had prepared, which was written in enlarged and bold font—

Slap in the face and leave palm prints.

You can only hit once.

You can't hit the vital point.

……

Malinda's eyes swept over the paper, and regret immediately appeared in her eyes, and her heart was full of regretful sighs.

She had no idea that Arthur would react so quickly.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to give Arthur two hard blows - it was not enough to flirt with his feet, but to explode his liver, that was a must.

Not why, just for the sake of the oak manor, Arthur's preparation in advance - she admired Arthur's cautious style, but this did not prevent her from resenting because of Arthur's wariness, and she had the idea of taking the opportunity to give Arthur two punches.

As for the unreasonableness of this approach?

Reasoning with a woman, that's losing your mind.

Arthur knew this well and prepared in advance.

Luckily, the lady wasn't going to mess around, much to Arthur's relief—he was sure that when Albert headed for 6 White Bird Street with four oak estate guards, the lady would be able to roughly guess his plan.

Starting with the change of Arthur's identity, with the golden acorn as the contradiction, a quarrel broke out, and even a move, and in the end, the two broke up unhappily.

Of course, this is foreshadowing!

After that, use the 'Golden Acorn' to fish out the 'Secret Gathering' in Rat Tail Alley on Rat Street is the key!

Arthur had a lot of confidence in the appeal of the Golden Acorn - after all, in South Los South, the Golden Acorn was unique to Oak Manor!

What kind of business is the most profitable?

A unique business!

Everybody knows that!

Arthur knew this even more!

If it was in normal times, with the well-known 'lover' relationship between him and Malinda, the people who manipulated the 'secret assembly' in Srattail Alley would still be jealous, but when he and Malinda had a 'conflict', these people would definitely come to the door - even if the other party would be suspicious, but the other party would definitely be tempted, but they would not ignore it.

And as long as the other party comes, Arthur is sure to let the other party take the bait!

Because, this is not only the benefit of the 'golden acorn', but also ......

Competition with Malinda!

There are only two 'secret gatherings' in South Los!

One is Malinda's 'Long Night Lady's Salon', and the other is Mouse Alley in Mouse Street.

Malinda wants to annex the Mouse Alley family.

What about Rat Alley?

I'm afraid there are similar thoughts.

Even, in order to win over the Count of South Loss, the people who control the 'Mystery Gathering' in Mouse Lane will be even more radical - for the other party, it is not terrible for Malinda to have the support of the Count of South Loss, as long as the other party can pay enough price, the Count of South Los can also support the other party.

It's not impossible.

Because, everybody knows that the friendship of the nobility is not solid.

If you want to strengthen such a friendship, you have to pay enough benefits.

Or......

Become a nobleman!

When you become a nobleman, a whole new set of rules will appear in front of you - although it is still mixed with interests, strength, etc., it will give you the last chance to live.

That's tempting enough!

Not to mention the intangible benefits that come with becoming a nobleman.

Otherwise, how could Malinda spend so much money to seek the title of Baron Kemir?

Thinking in his heart, Arthur's gaze naturally turned to this lady.

And what about this lady?

I've rounded my arms!

Syllable!

There was a crunch.

A slap in the face landed firmly on Arthur's face.

Even Arthur's 1.8 [physique] was pumped to the point of gold.

There is no doubt that Malinda showed no mercy at all.

A slap came out, and the lady smiled.

That kind of heartfelt happiness made Arthur glared angrily and raised his middle finger directly.

Malinda didn't care, and stuck out her tongue at Arthur.

Then, the lady suddenly asked in a loud voice—

"Why? Why? Why do you want to do this? ”

In an instant, this lady has already entered the play!

Arthur adjusted his state and glanced at the skill bar.

Lv3's [Eyes Like a Torch] and [Observing Words and Looks] do not flicker.

But the lady was really acting.

Obviously, this level of [eyes like torches] and [observation of words and expressions] could not peep into this lady's performance, which made Arthur sigh slightly, and then, he lowered his voice.

"Malinda, calm down!"

"How do you calm me down?"

"What did you promise me? What about your oath to me? ”

"Are you making me pretend I don't know everything?"

"Are you turning a blind eye to me?"

"Is this the love you are talking about?"

The more the lady spoke, the more excited she became, and even, she raised her hand again.

Arthur knew that the other party was doing it on purpose.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the other party's wrist, put it on his face that he had just been beaten, and said affectionately: "Do you want to believe me?" ”

Malinda's hairs stood on end, misogyny flinched instantly, and the feeling of vomiting began to make her stomach churn.

She knew that Arthur did it on purpose.

The other party was retaliating against her, just as she had just done - the two of them, knowing it, looked at each other, and both saw the pity that there was no 'going further' in each other's eyes.

Just as Malinda was about to really spit it out, Arthur pulled out the last piece of paper.

This time it's a normal font that says-

Cooperate!

Work closely!

……

Malinda certainly knew what Arthur was emphasing.

Not just tonight, but for a long time to come.

And, this time, there were more spectators than when I was at 6 Shiratori Street before.

The stakes are also much greater!

However, the risks are completely proportional to the benefits.

No!

To be precise, it's an exponential benefit!

Thinking of this, Malinda nodded.

She didn't ask Arthur what he would give.

Because, she believed that Arthur would give him a satisfactory reward.

Just as Arthur was satisfied with her reward.

The two of them distanced themselves very tacitly, and after their eyes met, the irritable words sounded from the mouth of the lady-

"Tell you!"

"Impossible!"

"We're done!"

After saying that, the lady opened the door and ran out, and Arthur naturally chased after him, shouting as he chased back: "Malinda! Malinda! Wait for me! ...... without you."

Such a shout naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

After seeing Malinda in the carriage and Arthur with a slap print on his face, these neighbors couldn't help but be full of gossip.

Some are even more gloating.

In the afternoon, Arthur came back with a grandeur that everyone on Kirk Street saw.

It is clear that they are all people of the same class, but some people jump up, which is unacceptable to a considerable number of people.

Now seeing Arthur's bad luck, he is naturally relieved.

And Arthur?

It seemed that he realized that he was being watched at this moment, and without greeting the neighbors, he walked back to No. 2 Kirk Street with his head down and his face covered.

With the closing of the gate at 2 Kirk Street, the whole Kirk Street was bustling with discussion.

Soon, the maids who had come home from work brought the news home, and they told it to their families.

Immediately afterwards, the families of these servants spread the news throughout South Los as they went to work the next day.

Of course, some well-informed people knew everything half an hour after the incident.

Like what......

Rat Tail Alley!
