Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 126: Generous

On the small balcony of the master bedroom, Klein in the image of Dwayne Dantès stood behind the railing, quietly watching Baron Syndras' luxurious carriage move away a little bit.

His mind still echoed the other party's words just now, and he felt that there was a hidden conspiracy from the beginning of the acquisition of Coim's shares:

As far as Baron Syndras is concerned, although the Coim Company has great potential and bright development prospects, its current value is still limited to Backlund and subject to various conditions, so it is not worthy of such attention from a big banker. Put on a posture that he will never give up control. You must know that even if he fails to succeed, it is only the difference between earning more and earning less, and will not lose money.

For Caron, the seller, it is normal to be under external pressure to sell shares in exchange for cash, and it is also normal to be reluctant to sell to Baron Syndras, the "money bag" of the Conservative Party. This is not an important business, and political inclinations can indeed be considered when the price is similar, and it is unreasonable to refuse when it is possible to obtain a very high premium. However, he deliberately rushed before Baron Syndras made the final offer. Having completed the deal with Dwayne Dantès, it seems that he has an enmity with the gold pound, or an extreme hatred for the Conservative Party, and this is not in line with the current political atmosphere. The Loen Kingdom has not yet been divided to this extent.

It seems that someone is forcing Baron Syndras to do this, and someone is using this to design a trap, use Karon's 3% shares as a bait, and use me as a cover to lure Baron Syndras into the game, hoping to achieve a certain goal. This purpose... Klein sighed inwardly as he looked at the gas street lamps in the night.

According to his guess, if he didn't discover the problem tonight and didn't directly send someone to find Baron Syndras, then he would definitely be imprisoned due to various seemingly convincing clues, and wait until the military or the Church of Evernight intervenes. There will undoubtedly be a reversal, pointing to Baron Syndras.

During this process, as long as Baron Syndras makes a slight misjudgment and regards Dwayne Dantès as an accomplice of the conspirators behind the scenes, and adopts more drastic means to deal with it, he will nail the last nail in his end iron nails.

As for who is behind the scenes and what the real purpose is, Klein has no way of guessing. He can only be sure of one thing, that is, Mrs. Mary probably doesn't know the truth, and was just exploited by someone's urgency to keep control of Coim Company. In short, she Not yet qualified to participate in this level of conspiracy.

Environmental protection...New Party...Conservative Party...Banker...Acquisition...Framed... Words popped up in Klein's mind, making him seem to see the hidden underwater through Backlund's current calm A dangerous vortex.

They have existed for a long time, and have not been calmed down by the great smog, and some of them even belong to the extension of that incident.

This kind of intertwined and increasingly tense international environment made Klein suddenly think of a word:

"change!"

In this second, Klein seemed to smell the breath of a storm.

Coupled with the doomsday prophecy, I don't know how much chaos and madness are brewing in the dark... My current focus is to start with the military and investigate the truth of the Great Smog incident in Backlund. If I get involved in this vortex, there is a high probability that there will be Unnecessary trouble may expose his sequence strength, and he will no longer be able to play Dawn Dantès... Klein looked away, and he has already made a decision:

That is to get out as soon as possible!

As for the safety of Baron Syndras, he is not worried. One is that the other party is backed by the Conservative Party and has its own influence. If he is vigilant, it will be difficult to be framed again. Second, Klein has no friendship with the other party and can take advantage of the situation. A word of warning, it's considered noble.

As for the truth of Karon's death, he was not qualified to investigate, so he could only choose to believe that the "Nighthawks" had rich experience and many methods, so they had the opportunity to find real clues.

How to get out of this matter? As long as the 3% shares are in my hands, it means that I will always be in the center of the stage... let Mrs. Mary buy back in advance? It's hard, she probably doesn't have the funds...to sell it to Baron Syndras? Breaking promises and contracts... Klein had a lot of thoughts, and gradually came up with an idea.

His facial muscles twisted for no reason, but he immediately felt relieved, because what he wanted to do was something he was unable to do before, and it was also conducive to his image and better access to the upper class .

…………

In the next room with a large balcony, Xio and Forsi watched the street and garden, and the other looked at the crimson moon half hidden behind the stratus clouds. No one spoke for a long time.

It wasn't until the lights on Dwayne Dantès' side went out that Forsi turned her head to look at her friend, said with interest and obvious exclamation:

"It's not easy being a rich man..."

"If it were you, you might be bankrupt in three days and sent to prison."

Xio glanced at her and said:

"I can get a good housekeeper, a professional lawyer and a capable business secretary to help me."

Forsi didn't hit the opponent any more, instead she said with a smile:

"If it were me, I would replace it all with bank deposits, national bonds and houses and stores, relying on the annuity income they bring to maintain a decent enough life."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xio frowned slightly and turned her gaze to the first floor of the house.

"What's wrong?" Fors suddenly tensed up.

Xio focused on it for a few seconds and said:

"My inspiration tells me that there is an item or thing that is related to the dark arts."

One of the major characteristics of "The Sheriff" is that when the distance is close enough, it can detect and sense unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness.

"Black magic?" Forsi was also considered a senior Extraordinary, so she was no stranger to it.

Strictly speaking, any magic that does not pass through the seven righteous gods is black magic, including ritual magic that prays to hidden beings.

In a general sense, black magic specifically refers to strange spells cast using flesh, hair, and various weird things. Some of them involve evil gods, some of them are derived from their own extraordinary abilities, and some of them rely on the spirituality of the materials themselves and the correct symbols and magic signs.

Hugh nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes, it's on the first floor. I'm going to take a look. You stay here and protect Mr. Dantès."

Forsi was silent for two seconds, then nodded without any fuss:

"it is good."

When Xio left the semi-open room with a large balcony, she took out the "Leymano's Travel Notebook" from her secret pocket, and was ready to take immediate action if something went wrong.

On the other side, Xio was agile, and walked briskly down to the first floor. Following the induction, he arrived outside one of the rooms.

After confirming that the target was inside, Xio was taken aback for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious:

If she remembered correctly, this room should belong to Walter, the housekeeper who hired her!

It was such a dazed time, the black magic item or thing that stimulated her inspiration disappeared, and the room was peaceful, as if there had never been anything unusual.

Hugh put his ear to the door, listened carefully, and confirmed that there was still the sound of human breathing inside.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the housekeeper Walter did not take any action, she returned to the third floor with a puzzled expression, told her friend Forsi what she had just discovered, and finally said:

"Do you think you don't know anything, or try to remind Mr. Dantès?"

Fore thought for a while and said:

"Perhaps Mr. Steward is not malicious?

"Let's observe again."

After expressing her attitude, she sighed with a sigh:

"I have to say, Mr. Dwayne Dantès is really a poor guy. Not only was he used to frame Baron Syndras, he was almost imprisoned unjustly, his reputation was damaged, and he was accompanied by someone who had no intention of studying black magic I don’t know the good or the bad butler, hey, I hope he doesn’t lose his life because of this, in this respect, he is just a helpless ordinary person.”

Hugh nodded in agreement:

"When these three days pass, if we still can't confirm Mr. Steward's intentions, then leave a note to him as a reminder."

…………

The next morning, after breakfast, Klein glanced at the butler Walter with his usual expression, took his valet Richardson out, and took a carriage to St. Samuel's Church.

After listening to the sermon and praying, Klein went directly to Bishop Elektra without making a donation.

"What's the matter?" Although the bishop was under a lot of pressure because of Chanis Gate being infiltrated, he was still quite kind when facing the believers.

Klein smiled and said:

"I've been through some things recently, and I've become more aware of myself."

Without waiting for Bishop Elektra to ask, he continued on his own:

"I want to set up a student fund for the poor, and I hope to get help from the church.

"I will put the shares of Coim in my hand into this fund, and use all the funds it can obtain under the contract to start this matter."

Bishop Elektra was almost stunned when he heard this, because this was by no means a small sum.

Although outsiders have no way of knowing how much Dwayne Dantès paid for the 3% of the shares, they have heard the corresponding rumors. It is believed to be more than 10,000 gold pounds, and the follow-up income will not be low!

Back then, when Mrs. Mary was courted by many wealthy men, her total assets were only tens of thousands of pounds.

Therefore, Dwayne Dantès' donation of tens of thousands of pounds at once is definitely a big deal. The entire Church of Evernight, except for the type specified in the will, among the single donations received, the amount is higher than this, and one palm can Count it!

"This is an act worthy of any praise." Bishop Elektra said sincerely, "However, I need to remind you, don't do things beyond your ability."

Klein responded with a smile:

"For me, it's really not a small amount, but it's affordable and won't affect life and business."

Bishop Elektra smiled gradually, nodded and said:

"The goddess will watch you."

Hearing this blessing, Klein's expression almost froze.

Bishop Elektra continued:

"I will report to His Excellency the Archbishop and try to hold a charity dinner for this fund. At that time, we will invite goddess believers from various fields, including several nobles and their families, to see if anyone else is willing to participate."

He knew very well that Dwayne Dantès had been trying to enter the upper class, so he deliberately selected the nobleman.

PS: I have returned to China, and I am suffering from jet lag. This chapter will be revised first. Fly back to Hangzhou today, and return to normal tomorrow.
