Chapter 128 The Startled Horse
Fortunately, it wasn't the mushrooms I ordered, otherwise I would have just wasted this dish... I didn't have any psychological shadows about mushrooms, but the smell in the letter just now managed to make me "sick" again... Klein's expression Quickly returned to normal, withdrew his left hand, picked up the cup next to him, Gulu drank the ice water in two gulps.
"Have another drink." He turned his head as if nothing happened, and ordered the waiter standing at the door of the pantry.
At the same time, he held down the clothes on his abdomen, slowly got up, apologized and greeted, and walked to the separate bathroom in the box.
This is opposite to the exclusive pantry, which is located on both sides of the main door.
Forsi, who was hiding in the cupboard, heard the approaching footsteps and the close of the bathroom door. She couldn't help leaning into Xio's ear, suppressing her voice, and said with a smile:
"Second time!
"It's been a little over half an hour since they entered this box, and Dawn Dantès has already gone to the bathroom for the second time!
"The first time it was obviously urinating, if it's the same this time, it means that this gentleman's kidneys, bladder or prostate are not in good condition.
"Come out, come out, it's really just peeing, tsk, he seems to drink a lot of water, and often goes to the bathroom, hey, it's not easy to be a rich man, especially a good-looking rich man!"
Take a look at my friend:
"This has nothing to do with you.
"Be serious, focus, we're on a mission!
"Also, the bodyguard of that Congressman named Macht seems to be very powerful, maybe Extraordinary, we must be careful enough."
Forsi had to suppress the desire to communicate, retracted her body and said:
"They were all guarding the door. They didn't guard against someone going through the wall at all. They were not professional at all... Well, let's talk about it when we go back."
At this moment, Klein had already walked back to the dining table and sat in his own seat.
He took a sip of ice water, sipped the white wine, smiled and said to Mr. Macht:
"It's been almost two months since I came to Backlund. I've been busy getting familiar with the environment here, and I haven't been able to start a new business. I wake up every day and watch the gold pounds flow out, but nothing comes back. Hehe, it's time to do something. "
He joked about his willingness to mix in the arms trade.
Councilor Macht rubbed the cup and said with a warm smile:
"I can understand, I was in that phase too.
"How much money do you have left? I can help you introduce some friends to cooperate."
Klein responded calmly:
"Currently, the maximum amount that can be withdrawn is 20,000 pounds."
"You are richer than I thought." Councilor Macht said with emotion.
Under normal circumstances, a rich man who can come up with 20,000 pounds of liquidity in one go is definitely worth 100,000 pounds.
Without waiting for Dwayne Dantès to be modest, he said casually:
"Didn't you buy 3% of Coim's shares before? It can be used to pledge at least 10,000 pounds, which can help you relieve the tension in funds."
Klein suddenly smiled and sighed:
"I have donated this part of the shares to the church to set up a student fund for the poor."
"Donated to the church?" Macht hadn't seen the pastor and bishop of St. Samuel's Church today, and he was outside and hadn't received the invitation, so he didn't know about it.
Madam Liana and Hazel, who were enjoying their food, also raised their heads, and subconsciously cast their gazes at Dwayne Dantès.
At their level, there are not a few of their acquaintances who can come up with 10,000 pounds in cash, but there are only a few who are able to donate so much money directly, and among the few who are willing to donate so much, maybe one nothing!
Do not,
There's already one, Dwayne Dantès!
"Yes." Klein nodded with his usual expression, "Without the blessing of the goddess, I would have died in the chaotic Southern Continent long ago, and when I was young, if I had the opportunity to go to school and study, maybe my life would be completely different , I want to give some hope to those children who are eager to change their destiny."
"Your character is as admirable as your generosity." Madam Liana put down her knife and fork, and praised sincerely. Hazel also slightly nodded her head, seeing that Dwayne Dantès' eyes softened. few.
Seeing her parents chatting with each other about charity, she apologized and left the table, and walked to the bathroom, her right hand seemingly casually pressing her stomach.
When she came to the gate, she was about to turn to the right when she suddenly turned her head and looked at the cabinet in the pantry.
Her brows were slightly frowned, revealing a trace of confusion, and she immediately looked away, and opened the wooden door of the bathroom.
After washing her hands, Hazel seemed to have forgotten the abnormality just now, touched the necklace on her chest, and returned to the dining table.
After the dishes and desserts were served and the dinner was over, the four of them left the box, took their servants, joined the two bodyguards outside, and prepared to return home.
At this moment, Hazel suddenly stopped and said:
"My ear stud seems to have fallen in it, sorry, wait for me."
Before Mrs. Liana ordered the maid to look for it, she turned around on her own, took a few steps around the corner, and returned to the box just now.
Hazel put down the palm covering her left ear, directly entered the exclusive pantry, walked to the cabinet, and put her hand on it.
She wanted to open the cabinet door very quickly, but after thinking about it, she cautiously held the necklace with the other hand and turned her body sideways to guard against the sudden attack from inside.
Taking a breath, Hazel took advantage of the waiter's opportunity to clean up the dining table inside, and pulled it suddenly, revealing the inside of the cabinet.
There is nothing here but spare cutlery and tablecloths.
Hazel once again showed a puzzled expression, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
"I clearly sense that there are very valuable items inside..." She murmured to herself, before the maids could catch up, she closed the door of the cupboard and walked out of the exclusive pantry.
…………
Outside the Intis Serenzo restaurant, Fors and Xio turned their heads at the same time and looked inside.
"That girl discovered us just now?" Forsi whispered in disbelief.
If she hadn't been able to "open the door" and slip away from the back of the cupboard in time, she and Hugh would have been discovered and had to admit to secretly protecting Dwayne Dantès.
Hugh was also puzzled:
"When she went to the bathroom, I remember you didn't speak or move."
"Perhaps... she is also an Extraordinary, with some kind of spiritual intuition..." Forsi guessed uncertainly, "Mr. Dwayne Dantès' life is really difficult, and at the same time, he often meets with the nobles and rich people. Not only is there a steward who studies black magic hidden in the house, but there is also an Extraordinary with mysterious abilities nearby, by the way, what is her name?"
"Hazel." Xio was looking for Dwayne Dantès' carriage, and hid underneath, his eyes suddenly froze, "Forsi, look, that person is behaving a little strangely."
Fors followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged man in a black formal suit. He was pacing back and forth on the edge of the street, looking anxious and irritable.
"What's abnormal?" Forsi didn't have the time to observe carefully, so she asked directly.
Hugh simply replied:
"He is dressed like a decent gentleman, but his shoes are dirty, and it seems that they haven't been wiped for a while. You know, Backlund has a lot of dust.
"Also, he touches his armpit from time to time, and I bet there's a pistol hidden there...
"Aside from that, his expression and his posture speak volumes about his abnormality.
"Well...they're coming out soon. I'll go to the carriage first. Pay attention to this man and protect Mr. Dantès."
"Okay." Forsi felt that it was troublesome, but at the same time she was quite interested, so she retreated to a place with shelter, and paid close attention to the entrance of Intis Serenzo's restaurant.
Twenty or thirty seconds later, Dwayne Dantès and the Macht family came out, said goodbye to each other, and prepared to go to their respective carriages.
At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage rushed over from the street at an extremely fast speed, ready to fall over at any time.
The horses pulling the cart had crazy eyes, as if they were frightened, and ran into the door of Intis Serenzo's restaurant in a panic.
One of Macht's two bodyguards went up to try to subdue the frightened horse, while the other protected the congressman, wife and lady, and retreated to the side.
At this time, the wandering middle-aged man strode closer from behind, took out a revolver, and aimed at Councilor Macht's head with a distorted expression.
Klein raised his right hand invisibly, then retracted it, without doing anything.
He jumped lightly, avoiding the front of the frightened horse. At the same time, Forsi, who was hiding on the other side, gently held the palm of his hand and pulled it aside.
The assailant's feet suddenly softened, as if he had tripped over something, and fell to the ground without having time to shoot.
In a panic, he stretched out his hands and jumped up, wanting to shoot crazily without aiming.
However, he twitched his fingers, but didn't touch anything.
His revolver fell off just now, and fell at Hazel's feet!
Immediately afterwards, he and Jing Ma were subdued by bodyguards at the same time.
"Why did you attack me?" Congressman Macht restrained his inner churning, took a step forward, and asked in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, and shouted with a frenzied expression:
"It's all you! It's all you!
"What about air pollution, what about using anthracite coal! My factory went bankrupt, my child died of illness, and my wife committed suicide!"
