Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 190: Communication
Listening to Su Lun's self-introduction, the women all glanced over with appraising eyes.
In fact, they had already noticed the extraordinary temperament of the man beside Senjo.
But because they don’t look that old, they haven’t thought about it yet.
Now that they heard Qian Jiao's special introduction as "my friend", they all looked at their son-in-law with the eyes of their elders.
One of the women asked: "The Serna family? Oh, is it the Serna Biological Company in District 1?"
Su Lun naturally had to play his role as a tool man and shook his head: "No, no."
Serna was not a popular surname in the inner city, at least not among the common big families. Several women racked their brains and failed to think of Su Lun's origin.
Qianjo's aunt asked tentatively: "What is Mr. Zorro's occupation?"
Su Lun said: "I am a bounty hunter."
Another woman still refused to give up and asked: "The Bounty Knights Club in the inner city?"
Su Lun had heard that it was a playful organization of nobles in the inner city. He corrected: "No, bounty hunters from the outer city."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately went cold.
The looks on the faces of the ladies were suddenly strange, although their restraint did not show any abnormality.
But the kids around them couldn't. After hearing Su Lun's occupation, the few half-grown kids all looked at her with disgust and disgust.
In the eyes of the upper class in the inner city, bounty hunters in the outer city are a more humble profession than bodyguards. People who lick blood with their swords will never appear in their field of vision.
It wasn't that there was much malice, but the ingrained perception of people from outside the city in the environment in which they grew up made them think that Qian Jiao had found a gangster.
Mrs. Camilla turned to Senjo and asked: "By the way, Otilia, have you known Mr. Zorro for a long time?"
"Yes. We still live together."
Qian Jiao seemed to want this effect. She held Su Lun's arm intimately and smiled.
When they heard this, they all thought they were "living together", and the ladies had even ugly expressions.
They couldn't get angry in person, so Mrs. Camilla could only pull Qianjiao: "Oh, Otilia, come here, I have something to tell you."
Senjou probably doesn’t want to go.
However, the ladies took him to another place to lecture him with serious faces.
When people left, Su Lun was happy and free.
With his keen hearing, he can naturally hear everything clearly.
The noble ladies seemed to have no intention of hiding it, and deliberately wanted him to hear it, talking as they walked.
"Oh, Otilia, you actually found a bounty hunter from the outer city? God, I can guarantee that your family will never allow you to be with such a person."
"You are so ridiculous! If this gets out now, our Evelin family will definitely become a joke in the upper class circles"
"Also, please don't interfere with the Rais family's affairs this time. Although I know that it is your sister's blood. But I was warned before coming this time, not to mention that it is the blood of their own Rais family. It’s not easy for us outsiders to get involved in this matter. Even if our Evelin family pays for it, it won’t change the situation.”
""
Su Lun also sounded confused.
Both of the three sentences are inseparable from "family face and family interests"
No wonder Senjo is unwilling to go back.
With her character, if she wasn't a relative, whoever was so naughty would probably have drawn her sword long ago.
One knife kills an old woman, two knifes kills a pair.
The world became pure in an instant
Qian Jiao was trained so hard that he couldn't escape for a while, leaving Su Lun alone.
After all, "Zorro" and Rena were not familiar with each other, so they had little to say.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Moreover, both of them are not very popular at cocktail parties, and there is not much else to go to.
Reina thought that she had to find a topic, so she asked: "Mr. Zorro is a bounty hunter?"
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
Leina asked again: "Has Mr. Zorro heard of Mr. Sullen?"
Su Lun didn’t know why this girl suddenly mentioned herself and said: "Su Lun, the wanted criminal of the SS?"
Leina nodded, "Yeah."
Then the two stopped talking again.
Su Lun asked curiously: "Why does Miss Reina ask this?"
Leina thought about it and hesitated in her tone: "Although Mr. Su Lun has committed a crime, he is actually not a very evil person. He saved my aunt before and he has a very high vision. She said that you are a very powerful reward." The golden hunter must be very powerful. If Mr. Zorro meets that Su Lun, can you please show mercy? I mean, can you not hurt him? Maybe there is some misunderstanding. He deserves a fair trial."
This tone is very contradictory.
Even a little incoherent.
Obviously, in her concept, "wanted criminals are all criminals", but this conflicts with her own cognition.
She thinks Su Lun is a good person, but she does not deny the fact that he committed a crime.
""
Su Lun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Are you asking for mercy for yourself?
The information Reina has now is probably the one on the wanted order.
The bullets described by Mr. Su in the official arrest warrant were terms such as "extremely vicious" and "heinous crime."
I didn’t expect that the girl would actually speak for me?
Although my heart is good.
The current "SS Wanted Su Lun" is an existence that most bounty hunters would avoid.
Let a horse go?
If it were another bounty hunter, it’s hard to say who would be spared.
He also responded: "Okay."
Reina listened and smiled politely: "Thank you."
Two people who didn’t know each other well had nothing to talk about.
The topic is over again.
But not long after waiting, a beautiful blonde girl quietly came over.
Suellen has seen this blonde girl before.
During the riot in the inner city, there seemed to be a person named Yulia in front of the Moon Hotel, Rena's best friend.
When Yulia passed by, she didn’t even look at Reina and said hurriedly: "Leina, I’ve heard about you too. I’m sorry that I can’t help you. My father sent someone to say hello. , the family won’t let me get involved in your seventh room. I originally wanted to help you find some helpers, but those mercenaries and hunting groups, when they heard it was you, were unwilling to cooperate no matter how high the price was. I only have a few personal assistants. The guards obey my orders. I will ask them to come to you tomorrow, and you can give them orders."
She said, looking at Reina apologetically, "Sorry, I can't talk to you more. Otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Rena looked at her best friend who left in a hurry, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face: "Thank you."
Suellen listened.
To be able to help at this point is indeed a sign of kindness
This is the first time for Su Lun to participate in such a high-society drinking party. It is probably tonight that he wants to witness all the ups and downs of people in the upper class.
Not long after Yulia left, a handsome brown-haired young man came over again.
Su Lun has the impression that this guy is the eldest son of the Clark family, one of the five major families in the camp, Eli Clark.
The cunning friend of Danzig, the eldest son of the Oliver family.
One of the masterminds behind the Reyes family's predicament.
Young Master Aili walked over with a wine glass in his hand and a chuckle on his face, and greeted Reina: "Miss Reina, long time no see."
Leina didn't seem to want to pay attention to this guy with bad intentions, but she nodded because of etiquette.
Young Master Aili: "Miss Lena, I'm sorry to hear that you have encountered some trouble recently. If you think we are friends, you can tell me"
Leina didn't intend to talk nonsense with such an uneasy and kind-hearted person, so she interrupted him, "Sorry, no need."
"You seem to be in a bad mood"
Avery's eyes flashed with an expected smile, but he said: "Now that Princess Teresa has arrived, I got the news that in three days at the latest, you and I will all go to the ruins. We are hunting in the wilderness. I heard that Miss Reina has not recruited a hunting team yet?"
After a pause, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, he looked at Reina's delicate face that looked like a porcelain doll, "Actually, we can talk about it and maybe we can come up with a solution. If you don't mind, we'll have a cocktail party. I’d like to invite Miss Reina for a drink later, I don’t know”
The tone sounded questioning, but actually it was aggressive.
Reina's face already showed sullenness. She no longer gave this hypocritical young man face, and said coldly: "Sorry, I don't have time."
Su Lun on the side also raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
This is the trouble with the so-called upper class society.
I know clearly that it was you who did it, but I still can’t fight because I haven’t made any accusations or have any evidence. I have too many things to worry about.
It's not like in a gang, everyone is barefoot. I won't beep with you anymore. If you dare to provoke me, I will kill you.
Ai Li shrugged, the haze in his eyes disappeared, and suddenly he no longer concealed it, and sneered: "Haha, I gave you the opportunity. If you don't want it, I won't force it. I just hope that Miss Reina will do it when the time comes. Don’t come and beg me on your knees”
If you can get the daughter of the head of the Reyes family, you will get more benefits than destroying it.
It’s a pity that this woman doesn’t understand current affairs!
Not far away, Young Master Danze and the young masters and ladies from other families saw this scene, and they also pointed and laughed.
It seems like they are making some kind of bet.
Young Master Ai Li lost and was disgraced
After hearing those words, Reina's pretty face turned red with anger.
Having cultivated etiquette since childhood, she could not say those vicious words in reply, so she could only turn her head away and ignore it.
This was originally a negotiation that made things worse, and it was about to end on bad terms.
But Su Lun didn't expect that a tool like himself could be affected even though he was eating melons from the side.
Probably because he was frustrated by Reina, Avery also became a little angry.
He looked at Su Lun and asked coldly: "Is this friend very unfamiliar? Which family's young master is he?"
The tone is full of threats.
I don’t allow anyone to help Reyes grow his wife, but you still dare to commit a crime?
""
Hearing this, Su Lun didn't even raise his eyes and completely ignored what he meant.
What social etiquette do you upper class people have to worry about? I am just a gangster.
It’s okay to be ignored by Reina, after all, they are people of the same level. Now being ignored by Su Lun again, Young Master Avery instantly felt extremely insulted.
Looking at the two people who were alone together, he thought about what he was thinking, and said in a strange tone: "Miss Lena, is this the helper you are looking for?"
Leina seemed not to want to implicate Su Lun, so she quickly turned around and wanted to say something, "It has nothing to do with Mr. Zorro, he is"
But at this time, Su Lun interrupted her directly and revealed her name: "My name is Zorro."
They will all be enemies anyway.
Just fill up the hatred.
After hearing this, Ai Li thought for a while, but he couldn’t think of any house where such a person came: “Hey, it seems like you don’t know me?”
He felt that if he was a stranger, then he must not be from the top family in the inner city, so there was nothing to worry about.
Even if I made a mistake, I still have to lie down now!
He didn’t know it yet, but he had fallen into the trap of an outlaw who was even more vicious than the top chaebol.
"I don't know."
Su Lun glanced at him with contempt, and then said: "Why, are you okay?"
These words directly killed the topic.
No one knows you, so there’s no point in pretending.
Young Master Aili looked like he had eaten a dead mouse, his face was twitching, and he didn’t know how to respond.
After holding it in for a long time, he choked out a few words with a sinister look on his face, "Zorro, right? Haha, you can do it. Don't fall into my hands."
Su Lun felt the substantial evil spirit and raised his eyes to look at him.
But he ignored it.
No one dares to make a move at this cocktail party
Young Master Eli rolled his sleeves and walked away angrily. Reina looked back at Su Lun and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Mr. Enzo."
Su Lun shook his head and smiled: "It's okay."
Leina thought that Su Lun really didn’t know the young man Avery, so she explained a little anxiously: "No, it was the young man from the Clark family who got him into trouble just now"
Su Lun shook his head indifferently, "I know."
"Huh?"
Leina can’t understand. She knows but she still offends?
Not to mention the bounty hunters in the outer city, even in the inner city, few people dared to provoke him.
She wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the entire reception suddenly became quiet.
Everyone took a closer look and saw a girl in a gorgeous princess dress, surrounded by a group of guards, entering the venue.
This person is naturally the protagonist tonight, Princess Teresa of the Duke's Palace.
I met her once in the afternoon. At that time, Princess Teresana was wearing a full face veil.
Although the veil is still covering her face now, it only covers half of her face, but it still allows people to roughly see her delicate and beautiful face.
For a time, the eyes of all the young men, young ladies and ladies in the inner city were attracted.
Su Lun didn't find it that surprising. He peeled off the appearance of Princess Teresa from the previous fifth-level memory fragment.
But memory fragments and seeing real people are two different things.
"This person's charm value is a bit high"
Somehow, Su Lun always felt that this Teresa always gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
It’s not just that face, but a special sense of familiarity, as if you’ve recognized a unique temperament or something
When he looked at the butterfly brooch on the chest of the girl in the princess dress, his pupils shrank suddenly.
This is exactly the same as a brooch he once buried somewhere in the cave!
