As he returned from St. Samuel's Church to 160 Berlund Street, Klein was greeted by Walter, a white-gloved butler.

"Sir, a business card was sent just now saying that his employer would like to visit you between 4 and 5 o'clock. Walter said with a calm expression.

Klein thought about who it might be, but couldn't find a clue, so he bowed his head softly:

"Who's his employer?"

Walter glanced to the left and right, and saw that the manservant and maid were far away, before he answered:

"Baron Sindras. ”

Baron Sindras...... The multi-millionaire who relied on the Conservatives and Duke Negan to earn his knighthood, one of the most famous bankers and business owners in the kingdom, I had helped Lady Mary buy shares in the Coim Company, against him and his friends...... He visited me personally for this matter, which is a transaction of about 13,000 pounds, which is not necessary for him...... Crane's thoughts raced as he walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Walter was half a step behind and said:

"Sir, if you do not wish to see Baron Sindras, I will tell him later that you have been delayed in listening to the bishop's sermon in the church of St. Samuel, and that you may not be able to return until later. ”

The subtext of the butler was that Baron Sindras was a believer in the "Lord of the Storm" and could not have gone directly to the Church of St. Samuel to find someone.

Klein thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said gently:

"This is a very influential aristocrat in the banking industry, and there will definitely be crossings in the future, so I have to meet him.

"Hmm...... Wait for the small living room on the second floor where the sun is most abundant. ”

- As far as Klein knows, Baron Sindras is the third largest shareholder of Beckland Bank, the largest shareholder of South Wales Bank, and is definitely one of the most influential people in the banking industry of the Kingdom of Rune.

"Yes, sir. Walter didn't ramble any more.

At 4:10 p.m., Klein met the visitor who was often seen in the newspaper in the preset small living room.

The only thing that was different from what he imagined was that after three o'clock, the clouds thickened, the sky became overcast, and a light rain began to fall, and there was no cheerful and warm sunshine.

Baron Sindras was exactly the same as the photographs published in the newspapers, his black hair doped with silver threads neatly combed back, revealing a broad head and a slightly high hairline.

He has a rounder face, but lacks enough flesh to support him, and his cheekbones are quite high, with wrinkles and stripes at all sides.

Unlike most Runnes of his age, Baron Sindras had no beard, cleanly shaved cheeks, and blue eyes that were almost colorless.

He was accompanied by a valet and a bodyguard, both of whom were of the less noticeable shape, the former being characterized by a slight thinning of his hair, and the latter being shaved with a thick beard that extended from his ears to his chin.

"Good afternoon, noble baron, it is an honour to have you here. Klein put his hand to his chest and saluted.

Normally, the host leans forward more in the face of visitors, stretches out his right palm, and shakes hands, but at this moment, he is facing a nobleman and must be more polite.

Baron Sindras bowed his head lightly and greeted with a smile:

"No, you don't need to be polite, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, a gentleman who has experienced a lot of things and knows the Southern Continent very well. ”

After a little greeting, the two of them took their seats, and the personal valet and bodyguards stood beside them.

Klein was about to speak, but Baron Sindras said calmly and intimately:

"Dantès, I admire people like you, not everyone can grab wealth from the chaotic Southern Continent, this requires enough courage, courage to face difficulties, and amazing judgment.

"When I was on the verge of bankruptcy, I also wanted to go to the Southern Continent and start over, but unfortunately, I am not a brave person. ”

Baron Sindras became a nobleman later, but he was not a commoner in the true sense of the word, his great-grandfather, his grandfather, who benefited from the colony and made a lot of money from the maritime trade, was a successful merchant, and his father invested in industry and accumulated enough fame and many factories.

In his generation, backed by a rich family fortune, he rushed into the booming banking industry and became one of the first multimillionaires in Rune.

In the process, Baron Sindras suffered three failures, but they all came out one by one, the most dangerous of which was when the South Wales Bank, which he founded, suffered a serious credibility crisis, was run on, and really almost went bankrupt.

Always around my experiences in the South Continent...... This is to tell me that he has found out that there is a problem with my identity and origin, and to use it as a warning? Heh, he probably didn't expect that all the experiences in the Southern Continent that he repeatedly mentioned were fake...... Klein sneered inwardly, and responded normally on the surface:

"That's not bravery, it's recklessness.

"The vast majority of people who go to the Southern Continent do have an adventurous spirit, but this is the only one. ”

Without waiting for Baron Sindras to speak, he turned to smile and said:

"I almost hired Mr. Ryback to be a butler, and he said you were a good employer. ”

Baron Sindras listened quietly, sighed and said:

"It's something I'm sorry to do.

"I was so sincere in my hope that Rybuck would continue to be my steward, but he couldn't overcome the contradictions. ”

Speaking of this, Baron Sindras looked at the elegant and handsome middle-aged gentleman, Dawn Dantès, picked up the black tea brought by the servant, took a sip and said:

"I also sincerely hope that we can become friends and that you will transfer to me that 3% of the shares of Coim.

"I will give you conditions that you cannot refuse. ”

Here it comes...... But there is a contract between me and Lady Mary...... Klein was silent for two seconds, then sighed and smiled:

"I take credibility very seriously. ”

Hearing such an answer, Baron Sindras did not show any annoyance on the surface, and smiled half in surprise and half in curiosity:

"Don't you listen to the terms I give?"

Klein, who is in the image of Dawn Dantès, deliberately smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said:

"I'm scared I can't say no. ”

"Haha. Baron Sindras burst out laughing and slowly stood up, "You are as funny as the rumors say, and at the same time have a strong will that the rumors have not mentioned. ”

He glanced at his bodyguard and valet, and said to Daun Dantès with a smile:

"It's definitely better to be a partner with you than to be a competitor, okay, it's time for me to leave, there are still a lot of things to deal with for me. ”

Is this a sincere compliment, or is there a hidden threat? Klein is not an "audience", and he can't decipher the subtle meaning, so he can only respond cheekily:

"I feel the same way, and I look forward to working with you in other fields. ”

Baron Sindras, dressed in a formal suit and bow tie, smiled and nodded, and without further words, he was escorted out of the main gate by Daun Dantès with the butler and the valet.

Watching the richly decorated carriage gradually move away, Walter, the butler, suddenly spoke:

"Sir, do you need to hire a few bodyguards temporarily?"

Huh? Klein almost didn't realize what he meant by his butler.

Seeing that there was no change in the employer's expression, Walter added:

"Sometimes, competition in the business sector can also bring personal safety problems. ”

Mr. Butler also heard the hidden threat of Baron Sindras?Klein said with a slight hook of his mouth:

"I'm not worried about that because this is Beckland. ”

Because I'm already on the list with the Night Church, because I'm preparing to work with the military...... That's why I didn't worry about retaliation in the transcendent realm, I didn't worry that things would go the way Ambassador Intis did, and Baron Sindras was also a successful person with status and status, so he couldn't be so reckless...... Crane thought silently in his heart.

When Walter tried to say something more, he smiled again:

"However, caution is always a good habit.

"Hmm...... You can ask two bodyguards to provide protection in secret, and try not to be discovered by the servants of the house. ”

"Yes, sir. Walter responded immediately.

Klein thought for a moment, and then said to him:

"Go to Congressman Macht's house and invite him, his wife and daughter to the restaurant in Intis Cerenzo for tomorrow's dinner, which can be postponed if they are not available. ”

He was going to tell Congressman Makht that he was ready to be tested by the military and complete a small arms deal.

Originally, the most convenient way was for him to pay a visit to Councilor Mahert's house and mention it casually, but considering that there might be a demigod of the "thief" route around Hazel, and that he might find the gray mist on his body in close contact, Crane changed his mind and set the location in the restaurant outside.

In that case, according to Klein's judgment, the one who failed to "parasitize" Hazel would not be able to act together.

............

Hugh hid in the shadows of the trees and watched a brown carriage slowly pass by, turning into a street in Queens.

On that carriage, there was a distinct coat of arms, the main body was a flower and two rings, which belonged to the chief of the court guard of the Kingdom of Rune, Viscount Stafford .

Seeing that he had found nothing, Hugh left his hiding place in frustration and went to the nearby public carriage to return to the Beckland Bridge area and walk into the East End.

Coming to the tavern on Dalawi Street, Hugh arrived at the bar smoothly under the avoidance of a drunk, and asked the bartender who wiped the glass:

"Any new commissions?"

The bartender burst into laughter:

"Yes, the Walter butler who had spent 200 pounds on a few crooks gave a new commission, very simple, secretly protecting his employer for a few days, and the reward for the interview must be rich.

"He was pleased with the efficiency of your last mission and assigned us to ask you first.

"How's that, are you interested?"

Hugh was quite impressed with the butler and his employer, for they spent a full 200 pounds looking for a swindler who had only defrauded him of 1,000 pounds of cloth.

Very generous and very happy to pay...... Hugh thought about it and nodded:

"Okay. ”
