In the luxurious villa of Backlund Empress Borough, Hall Family.
Audrey Hall is in his bedroom, sitting in front of the dressing table, adjusting a delicate hairpin on his head.
It was made of metal, with a dark blue surface that contrasted strongly with her blond hair. It had an irregular triangular shape and reflected the sunlight outside the window when she kept shaking her head.
This was made by "Calamity Priest" Beyonder Characteristic that she bought at the end of April, but after several twists and turns, it was only yesterday that "Hanged Man" handed it over to her Mystical Item through Mr. Fool.
It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with my birthday, otherwise it would be a very good birthday gift... Audrey puffed up his cheeks, causing Susie beside him to tilt his head in confusion and look this way.
However, she was very satisfied with the ability of Mystical Item, which she bought for 3,000 Loen Gold Coin, so she ignored the gaze of another "Psychiatrist" beside her.
This hairpin can be used to accumulate "Luck" from some less serious bad luck that can be consciously avoided. It can be actively used at critical moments to obtain extraordinary luck. This is not limited to combat, but can also have excellent effects in life and any occasion where Luck is needed.
It also comes with an active ability, allowing Audrey to rely on its own Spirituality to influence the enemy's Spirit Body, achieving a "Intimidation" effect. Combined with her Combat Hypnosis as "Hypnotist", it can achieve the effect of disrupting the enemy's offensive.
The negative effect is that every time you release the accumulated "Luck", you will be hit by bad luck many times in a row until the two reach a balance again.
For ordinary bad luck, I have Psychological Invisibility to avoid embarrassment. The "Luck" at the critical moment is crucial to a "Hypnotist" that can Hypnosis and hint to others. Relatively speaking, the negative effects are nothing, even if you are in bad luck Luck, I, I can also show the scales in my skin and respond to "Calamity"... Audrey touched the hairpin, stood up from the dressing table, softly hummed a country-style music, and danced briskly to Ancient Elf Dance, which was popular this time with Social Season.
Dong Dong - The door was knocked. As soon as Audrey replied "Come in", Dance Step, who was moving lightly on the carpet, became confused and stepped on his own skirt. With the ear-piercing sound of tearing fabric, he fell towards the dressing table. Susie next to the chair jumped up in shock. He didn't know whether he should serve as a meat cushion for his master or avoid the dangerous area.
Fortunately, after becoming "Hypnotist", Audrey was far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength and agility. After a moment of panic, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity and stabilized his body, without falling on the table full of cosmetics and causing a commotion.
Bad luck appeared so quickly!
Her personal maid walked into the room and glanced at Audrey, who looked flustered and disheveled, and Susie, who was covering her head with her paws and lying next to her. She cleverly pretended not to see it, handed an invitation to her master, and said at the same time:
"Miss, this Saturday, that is, tomorrow night, the church will hold a charity party at Saint Samuel Cathedral in North Borough. We also invited Earl and his wife, as well as Hibbert Lord and you."
"What kind of party is it?"
Audrey quickly arranged her clothes, took the invitation and asked.
"The church is preparing to raise funds for the newly established Student Aid Fund for the poor. Lord Earl hopes that you can participate."
The maid replied respectfully.
Ever since my identity as Beyonder was exposed to my parents, they have always hoped that I could have a good relationship with the church and preferably receive adequate protection, so they allowed me to actively participate in various activities organized by the church... Audrey easily analyzed the purpose of the Earl Hall and nodded:
"Inform the church and I will attend."
She opened the invitation and found that the organizer actually had a name besides Church of the Evernight Goddess.
"Dwayne Dantès, an unfamiliar name... is he the emerging factory owner and banker who came to Backlund during this time?"
"Charity party?"
Looking at Klein who was wearing a tuxedo and sitting by the coffee table in the living room, Angel asked curiously.
"It was organized by Church of the Evernight Goddess. The theme of the party was Student Aid Fund for the poor. It was initiated by me and I donated tens of thousands of pounds in starting capital." Klein replied with a smile on his lips, "This is also something I have always wanted to do but have not made up my mind."
Klein donated tens of thousands of pounds?
Angel was stunned for a moment, his eyes staying on his face for a long time.
Although he was smiling, his expression was a little stiff, and you could see that he was reluctant to part with the money, but he was telling the truth...Klein really planned to spend tens of thousands of pounds, a Gold Pound worth a Sequence 5 Mystical Item, to build a Student Aid Fund?
"What's going on?"
She withdrew her gaze and asked calmly. At the same time, she waved her hand to let the servants in the living room leave and closed the door, leaving only the two of them.
"When I first came to Backlund, I purchased some shares of Cowim Smokeless Coal Company for investment purposes. When environmental protection becomes the city's top priority, they will appreciate rapidly..."
Klein narrated, letting Angel quickly understand this period of time, especially what happened when she left Backlund.
After he purchased the shares, the newly promoted Baron Cinderas came to him, hoping that Klein could transfer all the shares, and offered a price that was difficult to refuse. However, the contract signed by Klein when purchasing the shares prohibited the sale of shares within three months, so he rejected the other party's acquisition.
"Next, I was threatened by that Baron... Of course, his original plan was to discredit me so that I, who was still young, could not survive in the upper class. I had no choice but to compromise with him and sell my shares. But before Baron could do anything, we were involved in a murder together..."
The original shareholder who sold shares to Klein committed suicide!
Not only that, he also left a suicide note, pointing directly to Klein's current identity. Dwayne Dantès forced him to sell his shares, making him unable to bear the pressure and do this.
This made Klein immediately think of the frame-up of Baron Cinderas, but subsequent exchanges between the two showed that the other party was also a victim to a certain extent, rather than the culprit that caused the shareholder named Karon to commit suicide.
After this incident, Klein, who needed to hide his identity but did not want to offend Baron, came up with a plan. He packaged these shares and handed them to Church of the Evernight Goddess. Using the value of the shares as initial capital, he established a Student Aid Fund, which was managed by the church.
In this way, he not only got rid of the danger of holding shares, but also made himself famous in the upper class society and became a philanthropist who generously donated money to help poor students.
And whether it is Baron Cinderas, or other people who covet the shares, or the people behind the scenes who want to provoke a fight between him and Baron, there is definitely no way to deal with Goddess Church.
"So, donating shares seems to be the only way... Due to the agreement, you can't sell it, and you don't want to offend others, and you have to protect your disguised identity..."
After listening to Klein's explanation, Angel muttered, forgiving the other party for donating the shares that could not be realized temporarily and would cause trouble.
Moreover, these tens of thousands of pounds are not thrown into the water, but will become a ladder for countless poor students to change their destiny... She thought, smiled and said:
"So, you came to my house specially to tell me this?"
"Of course there are more important things," Klein also laughed, took out an invitation and handed it to Angel, "I hope you can attend the charity party on Saturday night as my female companion."
"Female companion?"
Angel repeated, with some doubts in his eyes.
"Yes, this kind of charity party will be attended by many young women. If I don't bring a female companion, it will be mistaken for, well, there will be some strange rumors. Moreover, you don't want the rich and generous Mr. Dantès to be misunderstood by others. Are you targeting me?" Klein said in a teasing tone, "Besides, Baron Cinderas also planned to hire some girls to accuse me of playing with their emotions and bodies, and even found some children for me that I had never met before..."
Hearing this, Angel's eyes gradually widened. She did not expect that Baron's "method" to deal with the enemy was not to hire killers to physically eliminate the opponent, but to prepare Dwayne Dantès to die from a "social level".
If we were in Intis, this kind of rumor would only become a topic of chat after dinner, and some people would even be secretly envious and jealous. But in Loen, where the atmosphere is relatively conservative, this is undoubtedly a fatal blow, and it is difficult to clarify.
"Well, it seems that I have no choice but to agree. After all, you seem to have no other choice. I can't let you bring two female bodyguards to the party, right?"
Thinking of this, Angel chuckled and took the invitation.
"Their employment contract ends today. Moreover, bringing the 'Sheriff' Miss will cause more misunderstandings... Well, we can't let Bishop Electra hear this... As for the other 'Witch' Miss, I have seen her look like a man before she was promoted."
Seeing Angel agree, Klein suddenly smiled and even started to tease his two temporary bodyguards.
But the last sentence caused Angel to pause for a moment. She put away the invitation calmly and said:
"This weekend, Baron Cinderas will come to visit. Then I will test his tone and make sure that the fight for shares is over."
Although he was confused by Angel's abrupt change of topic, Klein still nodded:
"It's okay. Although it won't be life-threatening to mess with such a millionaire, the other party's various methods will give me a headache... You should also pay attention to safety."
"Are you worried about me?"
"No, I'm worried that Baron is in danger. After all, he has to face someone..." Klein laughed and mouthed the next word, "...Bad Witch."
His answer was Angel's unceremonious kick from Bad Witch.
After Dantès's four-wheel carriage disappeared from the street corner, Angel stopped looking out the window and stood in the living room for a long time. It was not until his housekeeper Ribak knocked on the door to remind him that he followed the plan and arrived at Doctor Aaron Ceres's house not far away.
He has not appeared in public for two weeks, and in Backlund's social circle, he has almost disappeared. Fortunately, Angel's housekeeper often visits the neighbors as instructed and sends gifts to maintain relationships, thus maintaining Angel's newly established circle of friends.
After chatting with Dr. Allen for a moment, and using ice cream specially kept warm from the Intis restaurant in the West End to help Ms. Wilma, who was suffering from prenatal depression, regain her mood, Angel was spiritually touched, found an excuse, went to the bathroom on the west side, quietly locked the door, and looked at the huge mirror that occupied half of the wall.
The mirror that was supposed to reflect her figure and the scene in the bathroom had turned dark, as if it had become a window to a lightless room, in which a black stroller could be vaguely seen. The interior was shrouded in shadow, and only the baby wrapped in silver silk could be barely seen.
"Will Auceptin," Angel remembered that the other party asked her to address her directly by her name, "Are you satisfied with the ice cream I brought?"
