Start with the Readers Chapter 88: Frustrated Leonard
"Old man, are you sure?" Leonard pretended to stroke his drooping hair, and whispered to himself.
"It's not wrong, that girl is your 'kind', and the one who parasitized her didn't hide it very well... I just don't know which wild 'stealer' lacks 'common sense' Demigod, Amon is deliberately 'fishing'." Pales Zoroaster's old voice rang in his ears.
At this, Leonard snorted and muttered in a low voice: "If it's really Amon, would you take the initiative to talk to me now?"
"That's right, I've finally grown up, this time the analysis is good." Pallez didn't get annoyed, but instead laughed "hehe" and praised, "Finally willing to use his brain to think about problems!"
The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched a few times, feeling that the old man was "introducing" himself.
"Find a way to get closer to her, I need to make some confirmation." Pales suggested.
"How close? With what excuse?" Leonard asked subconsciously.
"A dance party is being held here..." Pallez stated the surrounding environment rather helplessly.
Hearing this, Leonard was stunned for a second, then glanced at Abner Bryan who had just danced the opening dance with a courtesan on the dance floor, and then he realized that he straightened his collar and hair, went straight to Miss Emma at the dining table.
Yes, because of the private investigation of Viscount Abner Bryan, Leonard has read the profile of this lady, so he recognizes her.
Just in the middle of the journey, he felt a little strange. After all, no one came to invite such a beautiful lady to dance.
"Miss Emma, can I ask you to dance?" Leonard said after making a gesture that he thought was very handsome.
Emma glanced at him, then turned her head and said unceremoniously:
"I don't dance with strange men!"
"Huh?" Leonard, who stretched out his hand halfway and realized that he was rejected, suddenly fell into confusion.
…
On the other side, Abner, who skipped the opening dance, was walking among the invited guests. While exchanging pleasantries, he talked about his plans for the city of Beldan.
But it is a pity that most people are actually more interested in his film company, but the reaction to the "Beldan City" project is a little cold.
However, this is also within Abner's expectation, and he is not disappointed...Anyway, investing in "movies" is the same, as long as the money is in his hands, don't he want to spend it as he wants?
After all, the current film industry is still in the stage of brutal growth. The director and producer are all taken by the company's own people. It's not up to you where the money is spent?
As long as 80% of the budget is used to go to Beldan to build a location, isn't it considered a disguised investment in territory construction?
In this way, Abner stopped and stopped between the cups and cups, and soon came to a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes, profound facial features, and a typical Loenian appearance.
He was wearing a silk top hat. He had a slender face and a rather gloomy and cold temperament, but it was not the gloomy type that made people feel uncomfortable, but the one with the connotation of night.
"Mr. Patrick Bryan?" Abner asked with a smile while holding a wine glass.
"Hi, Viscount Bryan...I'm Patrick." As he said this, the man looked at Abner carefully for several times before sighing, "When I heard the name 'Heroic Detective' before, I thought I often tell other clansmen that your achievements are already comparable to mine...but now, I think my original words were too arrogant."
Luen's subtlety always makes people smile knowingly when they praise others.
Abner nodded thoughtfully, and after close contact, part of the other party's "River of Destiny" appeared in his eyes. Although he couldn't see too many things from this, he could be sure The other party is indeed a blood relative of his own body.
Therefore, Abner showed a "polite" smile, and began to chat with the "experimental" demigod cultivated by the artificial death faction of the "Spiritual Cult" in front of him, and actively led the topic to "clan people" " direction.
After all, it is still too difficult to obtain the blood of a demigod silently. ..."
"I need a lot of manpower for the construction of my territory. Can you recommend a few outstanding 'clan members'? After all, your own people are always more trustworthy." Abner smiled and made his "request". An "olive branch" was thrown to the family.
Patrick also showed a sincere smile when he heard the words, and immediately recommended three young people with college degrees.
One named Nalem, graduated from Backlund Institute of Technology, and is currently an employee of a construction company;
One is Biton, who graduated from the history department of Tingen University and is considered Klein's senior;
The last one is named Confer. Abner, who graduated from university, has never heard of it, but his major is more compatible with the film company-the Department of Acting.
Patrick even admitted that Confer is actually his illegitimate son. Although his surname is not "Brian", he is a good actor and has appeared in many dramas, but he has been excluded because of his background.
There should be no problem with Nalem and Beaton. They are the so-called elites of the Bryan family.
As for Confer...I'm afraid he is an Extraordinary...Is he studying "Acting" in order to "act" better?
Hehe, he may be a "gift" after Patrick drank the extra potion...
Well, there is a high probability that this illegitimate child still believes in the "God of Death"... Patrick wants to use him to preach in my territory?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no problem... Anyway, it won't be long before the "Grim Reaper" will be the vest of the "Goddess"... It doesn't matter if you believe in Him...
With the help of Patrick's disturbance of his "fate", Abner observed more "tributaries" along the way, and many thoughts suddenly flashed in his mind.
Next, after instructing Patrick to let the three young people report to him as soon as possible, Abner passed him, and walked towards the Viscount Horatio's family with a wine glass.
Then, he witnessed Leonard being rejected.
Besides laughing secretly in his heart, Abner also quickened his pace, because Leonard's abnormal behavior, coupled with "Lion" Leon's previous reminder, made him sure that there must be something wrong with Emma.
…
In order to act as a "con artist", Emma often played tricks on the men who invited her at the ball, and often made people unable to get off the stage, so she gained the reputation of "weird".
However, at that time, people mostly talked behind their backs, and would not say anything in person.
But following the assassination of Duke Negan, her father was dismissed, and all kinds of bad words have begun to be betrayed, and her reputation has become more and more bad... Although she doesn't care about it.
However, just because she doesn't care, doesn't mean her mother doesn't care~IndoMTL.com~ So, after Emma bluntly rejected Leonard's invitation, Mrs. Norma finally couldn't help but want to treat her rebuke.
But at this moment, Abner's voice came at the right time:
"Miss, do I have the honor to invite you to dance?"
Seeing this, Emma smiled, and immediately put the glass of champagne in her hand on the tray in the waiter's hand, and politely responded:
"My pleasure too."
This completely different attitude surprised Mrs. Norma, and she looked at Abner several times in surprise.
It also made Leonard Mitchell, who hadn't gone far, become "angry".
Obviously Abner Blaine is not much more handsome than me!
