As soon as Malinda raised her hand, the contract scroll fell straight into her hand.

Looking at the contract scroll in her hand, the lady's face was full of astonishment.

A strange feeling that had never been felt before rose from the bottom of my heart.

It's like the feeling of suddenly climbing from the trough to the clouds, not just a simple physical pleasure, but a more gentle feeling.

It's like a steady stream of warm currents filling an empty mind.

She felt a strange sense of steadiness.

This strange feeling made the lady stunned.

She looked at Arthur's back in a daze, and under the candlelight at No. 2 Kirk Street, there seemed to be an extra 'light' in his back at this moment.

The appearance of this light made Arthur shine.

Malinda, who was holding a cigarette holder, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice-

"This is for me?"

When Arthur, who was moving forward, heard this, he immediately paused.

Then, when the young 'medium' turned around, he saw that the lady looked frightened and panicked, and began to retreat step by step.

The young 'psychic' raised an eyebrow.

He felt that this woman was not holding back her fart.

In fact, it is also true.

The next moment-

"I treat you as a friend, and you want to sleep with me?!"

Without hesitation, Arthur raised his middle finger.

"I'm with you, who sleeps with whom?"

Arthur said, and his face showed that you don't want to take advantage of me.

Then, even more aggravated the tone, said-

"How could it be sent to you!

Exchange!

I'll exchange the business of the iron ore and coal mine in Nanzhen with you for all the resources you can find about cat pies, cat cave secret arts, props, and so on. ”

Arthur emphasized.

He is not old Charlie, how can he not even want his life for the sake of pickling girls.

And the choice of Malinda as the exchange object is naturally because of the happy cooperation between the two parties all along.

Although Malinda has all kinds of shortcomings, there is one advantage that Arthur admires the most as a partner: smart!

This woman is not greedy, not cunning, not ruthless.

But when it comes to real collaborators, the clever Malinda will be fair enough.

That's what Arthur needs!

It is precisely because of this that the cooperation between the two sides will become more and more pleasant.

At the very least, Arthur was sure that he would be able to exchange it for something of equivalent value and would not be shoddy.

And the business of iron ore and coal mines in Nanzhen is ......

Maybe you'll get a cat pie and a cat hole entry map! ’

Arthur thought to himself.

If he could, he wanted to find what he wanted from Malinda as much as he could, rather than trade with the Countess of Nanlos.

Although the latter has a better chance of being found, the danger level also rises sharply.

If one is not good, unnecessary flaws must be exposed.

'Alas, it's still weak. ’

Arthur sighed inwardly.

Then, I watched as Malinda raised her hands and shot back at her two middle fingers.

"Scared the hell out of me!

In the future, this kind of thing must be said in advance, otherwise I thought you were a pervert! ”

Malinda sighed.

"You're a pervert, your whole family is perverted!"

Arthur pursed the corners of his lips.

"Uh-huh, how do you know?"

"However, I am a little reluctant to exchange the business of iron ore and coal mine for Nanzhen, and I suddenly feel that Bourne Manor is more suitable - but I want these two percent business very much, but the cat pie, cat cave secret arts, rituals, and props I have collected are not worthy of them at all, or even completely unequal.

Therefore, these two percent of the business is considered to be our joint operation, as for the rest......

I'll give you an IOU!

The kind that calculates interest!

Wait until I find the right cat pie and cat hole resources for you! ”

Malinda looked proud, but the topic was pulled back on track.

Looking at the carefully calculated appearance of the woman in front of him, the corners of Arthur's mouth curled.

See, that's why he's willing to work with this woman.

Marinda, who is smart, always brings fairness.

Then, the two walked side by side with a smile on their faces.

They passed past the scarlet paintings, past the hideous deer's head, bypassed the scarred armor and dangling meat hooks, and entered the psychic hall under the watchful eye of the seated 'Lady Anna'.

Neither spoke.

Moreover, no one can guess the thoughts of the two.

People like Arthur and Malinda can't guess with common sense at all.

When they wanted to, no one could stop them.

When they want to hide, no one can peep into it.

I'm afraid that only when the two face each other can they guess a little bit of each other's thoughts.

So......

They chose to walk side by side.

"Want tea?"

Entering the Psychic Hall, Malinda asked.

Then, without waiting for Arthur to refuse, the woman went straight into the kitchen and began to boil water.

"Tea doesn't have to be!

Refreshments? ”

Recalling the tea Marinda had brewed last time, Arthur was already beginning to feel bitter on the tip of his tongue.

The young 'medium' asked, as he picked up Pendragon.

Malinda didn't answer.

However, when I returned with boiling water, there was already an extra plate of refreshments on the table.

"Huh?"

Arthur carefully took a sip of his tea.

It's completely different from the previous ones.

It's delicious!

It's not his own ruthless 'honey water tea', but a way to give full play to the advantages of tea purely with skills.

Arthur was sure.

This woman was cheating on him last time.

In the face of Arthur's angry gaze, Malinda was calm.

"This is the second time I've made tea for someone – last time it was the first time."

"Oh, that's a lot of progress."

Arthur looked incredulous, drank the tea, and picked up the refreshment.

In the eyes of a fake tea drinker like Arthur.

Tea, no matter how delicious it is.

It's not as delicious as refreshments.

Especially Malinda's cook, the level of that lady Mary is really worthy of recognition-

"If I may, please ask Ms. Mary to transcribe a pastry recipe, and I think I can expand my culinary skills."

Arthur eats a crispy egg tart with a crispy skin and a sweet tart inside, with a pleasant smile on his face.

Sweets always make people happy.

Especially for a guy like Arthur who is full of darkness at heart, sweets are really one of the few salvations.

Malinda?

It's the same.

The lady listened to Arthur's words with disdain.

"Tsk."

One word, a simple word, reveals endless distrust.

Malinda never thought Arthur knew anything about cooking, just as she firmly believed that Arthur was a bad guy.

What a transcription recipe!

It's obvious that she wants to kidnap her cook!

Do you really think she doesn't know?

Just as Malinda was about to continue to ridicule Arthur's wishful thinking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with Arthur.

Surprise and astonishment appeared on Arthur's face.

Malinda knows that Arthur, the bad guy, has always maintained a false appearance of indifference or smile, and rarely shows this true appearance.

Unless something incredible really happens.

Immediately, the lady's curiosity was piqued.

She immediately asked—

"What happened?"
