Chapter 293: The True Colors of Money Fans
"But before we do that, we need to talk to that 'money junkie'. As long as he is willing to help, it will not be easy for anyone to hurt Vinnie, and we can worry less about it!" Anna was made a lot easier after making the most difficult decision, and she smiled to Catherine.
"He's really amazing, and it's no wonder Ed says that he and Baldwin aren't necessarily the same as that fellow!, but I really don't understand that he's so greedy for money?" Catherine knew very well who Anna meant, and she couldn't help but grumble a little while affirming Anna's thoughts.
"It's okay to be greedy for money, with the current economic strength of our Seine Peninsula, his demands are not too much of a problem, and I am ready to be 'slashed' by him!" Anna said as she pulled Catherine, who was still smiling bitterly, and walked out.
Anna and Catherine discussed various countermeasures as they walked to the polo field. As they expected, Parker, the 'Mink King', was now lazily lying on the chair next to him, watching the girls play in the room.
Catherine gave Anna a wink, and she entered the arena with a smile.
"Looks like you're really in trouble this time!Tell me, if it's too much effort, you'll have to add money to me!I now know that the few gold coins Ed gave me two days ago weren't enough to buy a chicken or duck!" Parker had learned ventriloquist by this time, but he only used it when he was alone with Anna and Catherine, and the others didn't know the secret.
"It's nothing special, it's just that we're in a little trouble, and I hope you can raise your hand and do us a little favor?" Anna naturally sat next to Parker. Politely whispered to him.
"Come on, you two girls never lack the means to solve problems, if not encounter some headaches for you. I'm afraid you won't even be here today!I said, why don't you learn to learn from Ed, that kid with a flamboy?"
"Ed is our future husband. It's normal for us to be influenced by him. Lord Mink, you are indeed clever, and you can see through the predicament we are in at a glance!"
"Don't pour me 'ecstasy soup', I know the real price and don't take credit!" Parker's true colors of money obsession were undoubtedly revealed at this time.
"Actually, it's not a problem, we just think that someone may be trying to disadvantage the Duke's Palace in the near future. Actually, Catherine and I have made some preparations, but we are worried that there are still omissions, and we hope that we can get your help, which is equivalent to adding an insurance to the safety of the Duke's Palace, so as to ensure that the Duke's palace is foolproof!" Anna patted Parker's horse lightly.
"If I'm right. Someone's eyeing Vinnie, right?" Parker said to Anna with some smugness, and his words startled Anna, her eyes full of horror and confusion.
"Don't look at me like that, the Duke's Court hasn't really been quiet since Ed left, and some people have become very active lately. Not only are they secretly depicting the topographical map of the mansion, but they are also secretly recording the location, number of people, and shift changes of the open posts and secret posts in the mansion, and some people are also observing the time and pattern of Winnie's entry and exit here. They don't just do it to satisfy their curiosity. I think they'll be doing something soon!"
"Neither Catherine nor I know anything about this?" Anna's face was extremely difficult to see when she heard Parker's words.
"As far as I can see, all these moles in the Duke's Palace, without exception, are from the Seine. They should all be highly trained and generally extremely loyal. In general, they are very careful about their words and actions. Even if you have the heart to doubt, for a short time. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything suspicious in them!"
"And when I'm in front of them, they're different. Because I was just Charity's pet in their eyes, it was easy for them to ignore my presence. Plus I was already suspicious of them. In this way, their horse's feet are gradually revealed!"
"Didn't you make it clear to us about such an important situation?" Anna was a little unhappy with Parker's concealment.
"They're just a few small minions, and I don't think there's any need to alarm them until we find out what they mean!"
"Besides, Ed only gave me those gold coins to keep you safe, and he never said he would put me in charge of catching spies!"
"You seem to say 'they', so the spy in the Duke's palace is not alone?"
"Of course not!"
"Who are they?" Ed couldn't do anything about Parker, and Anna was even more helpless, she asked Parker with a sigh.
Parker didn't answer Anna's question directly, but tapped his finger lightly on the table in front of him, as if he hadn't heard Anna say anything.
"A hundred gold coins!" Anna understood that Parker was waiting for the price to be sold, and in an instant she had calculated the right price in her mind.
"It's a hundred gold coins per person!" the human habit of bargaining was clearly explained by Parker.
"Okay, I promise you! But it must be all of it, and there must be no reservations! Otherwise, I will have to recover the coins!" Anna did not bother to entangle with Parker about this little money, and agreed to his request after explaining the conditions.
"I can't guarantee that, I can only tell you all the suspects I found!" Parker is not stupid, he will not be easily restrained by Anna, and after getting Anna's approval, he said the names of the three people.
"How could it be them?" the three of them had been working in the mansion when Count Acheson was alive, and it was no wonder that Anna was so surprised.
"Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure all three of them have a problem! From their observations, I think they're from the same organization, but they're not connected, and I suspect they don't even know each other's identities. It was also based on the very subtle habitual movements of their bodies that I judged that they were receiving the same training, and thus concluded that they were from the same organization. They all seem to have some sort of common belief!"
"Cult of the Dark Moon God?"
"I haven't been here for a long time, and I can't tell their specific identities yet, I can only tell you so much!"
"I suggest that you don't touch them for the time being, or even send someone to spy on them, so that it will be easier for me to find out what they are doing, and it will be easier for you to prepare a strategy in advance. ”
"It's just that we need to pay a relative amount of gold, don't we?"
"Anna, did Ed tell you that you are beautiful and smart!"
"Thanks for the compliment!
"If possible, I would like to ask Lord Mink for a favor, for which I am willing to pay a higher reward!"
"I'll just say that you and Catherine are not weak women who can be bullied, do you have the idea of fighting back against them again?"
"They've come to the door, and we're not going to sit still, but this kind of defense will take a lot of our energy, and Catherine and I want to use this to deal a heavier blow to each other and teach them some lessons. Let others understand that even in Charity's absence, our Duke's Palace is still inviolable!I want them to remember this pain forever, and make them feel a heartfelt fear every time they think of the Duke's Palace. ”
"Ed, this kid, how can he find a woman as good as you and Catherine to help him!
"Lord Mink, can you make a bid?" Anna clearly disliked Parker's assessment of Ed, and she quickly turned the conversation back to the point.
"Ten thousand gold coins! Such a troublesome thing, this number should be very fair!"
"According to my guess, there will be no Saint-level masters in the other party's temporary base. In that case, your figure is a bit too high! I think 3,000 gold is a reasonable price. ”
"Anna, you're not kidding me! I'm not just going to have to spy on those moles for the rest of the day. Also responsible for the security here. After making sure that the hidden danger that threatens this place has been eliminated, I will rush to their temporary base and eliminate all the remaining masters of them. You know, I'm just the 'mink king', not the 'mink god'! ”
"In the mansion, you only need to remind us to prepare in advance, as long as there is no Saint Rank master, we can complete the rest! Three thousand gold coins, which is already a good income for a messenger!"
"Whistleblower, I feel that the anger in my heart has been ignited by you, and it will be difficult to extinguish without six thousand gold coins!"
"Five thousand! This is the maximum authority that Ed has given me! If you have any ideas, I can only give up chasing them!"
"You girl is worse than Ed's stinky boy!well, it's five thousand!It's just that you can't pay for it!" Parker seemed to need the money very much, and he reluctantly agreed to the figure under Anna's threat. It's just that he is still a little uneasy about Anna, especially emphasizing to her.
"Don't worry, if you still don't believe me, I can put the gold in front of you now. ”
"That's not going to be! I still trust you and Ed!" said Parker, but his expression betrayed his heart completely.
Anna felt a burst of amusement in her heart, and at the same time she was very grateful to the 'Mink King'. Therefore, she did not break Parker's duplicity and turned her attention to the polo field.
At this moment, Catherine and Winnie walked out of the field. Seeing Winnie's unhappy face, Catherine should have told her something, Anna sighed and got up to meet her. (To be continued......)
