Part 4 The Undead Chapter 126 The Big Deal
On the small balcony of the master bedroom, Dawn Dantes’ image of Klein stood behind the railing, quietly watching Baron Sindras’ luxury carriage move away a little bit.
His mind still echoed the words of the other party just now, feeling that the acquisition of the shares of the Cowie Company was a hidden conspiracy from the very beginning:
For Baron Sindras, although the Cowim Company has a lot of potential and bright prospects for development, its current value is still limited to Bakerland, subject to various conditions, and is not worth the attention of a big banker who puts up a show of never giving up control, knowing that even if he doesn’t succeed, it’s only the difference between earning more or less, and not so much that he loses money.
For the seller Caron, by the external pressure to sell shares for cash is normal, less willing to sell to the Conservative Party “moneybags” Baron Sindras is also normal, but the problem is that, as a businessman, in the face of a not so important business, the price of the case is similar can indeed consider the political tendency, there is the possibility of obtaining a very high premium but There was no reason to refuse, however, he deliberately grabbed Baron Sindras before he made his final offer and hurriedly completed the deal with Dawn Dantes, looking as if he had a grudge against the Golden Pound or an extreme hatred for the Conservative Party, which was not in line with the current political climate, and the Kingdom of Ruin was not yet internally cut off to such an extent.
It looks like someone is forcing Baron Sindras to do this thing, and someone else is using this to design a trap, using Caron s 3% shares as bait, and using me as a cover to lure Baron Sindras into the game in the hope of achieving a certain goal …… Klein looked at the rooted gas street lamps in the night, and sighed in his heart.
According to his guess, if he didn’t discover the problem tonight and didn’t send someone directly to Baron Sindras, then the follow-up would definitely be behind bars due to all the seemingly conclusive clues, and by the time the military or the Church of Darkness intervened, the evidence would undoubtedly be reversed, pointing to Baron Sindras.
All it would take in this process is for Baron Sindras to make a slight miscalculation and see Dawn Dantes as an accomplice to the conspirators behind the curtain and use more drastic means to deal with it, and that would put the final nail in the coffin for his own end.
As for who was behind the curtain and what the real purpose was, Klein had no way of guessing, and could only be sure of one thing, and that was that Mrs. Mary should be unaware of the truth as well, and had merely been exploited in her eagerness to retain control of Cowiem; in short, she was not yet in that position to be deeply involved in this level of intrigue.
Environmental Protection …… New Party …… Conservative Party …… Bankers …… Takeovers …… Entrapment …… A single term leapt up within Klein’s mind, making him feel as if he were seeing through the current calm of Birkeland to one of the dangerous whirlpools lurking underwater.
They had been there for a long time, hadn’t been calmed by the foggy haze, and some of them even belonged to an extension of that very event.
All of this intertwined, mixed with the increasingly tense international environment, made one word come to Klein’s greasy mind:
”Change!”
In this second, Klein seemed to smell a storm coming.
Coupled with the prophecy of doom, I do not know how much chaos and madness is brewing in the dark …… My current focus is to start from the military, to investigate the truth of the great haze event in Bekrand, if involved in this vortex, the probability will be unnecessary trouble, and perhaps as a result of this, I will expose my own serial strength, and I will not be able to continue to play the role of Dawn Dantes …… Klein retracted his gaze and already had a decision:
That is to get out as soon as possible!
As for the safety of Baron Sindras, he is not worried, one is the other party backed by the Conservative Party, has its own forces, alert to the situation, it is difficult to be framed again, the second is that Klein and the other party has little friendship, can be a reminder of the situation, has been regarded as a noble character.
As for the truth of Caron’s death, he is not qualified to investigate, and can only choose to believe that the “night watchmen” are experienced and have many methods, and have the opportunity to find the real clues.
How do I get out of this? As long as the 3% shares are in my hands, that means I will always be at the center of the stage …… to get Mrs. Mary to buy back early? Hardly, she shouldn’t have the funds …… to sell to Baron Sindras yet? Breaking promises and contracts …… An idea gradually came to Klein in the midst of a flurry of thoughts.
The muscles of his face inexplicably appeared a little twisted, and then released, because what he was going to do was something he had wanted to do before but was not able to do, and, moreover, it was equally beneficial for him to build up his image and better enter the upper class society.
……
In the next room, which had a large balcony, Hugh and Forsyth, one gazing at the street and the garden, the other at the red moon half-hidden behind a layer of clouds, did not speak for a long time.
It was not until the lights went out on Dawn Dantes’s side that Forsyth turned his head to his friend, and said, with considerable interest and marked exclamation:
”It’s not easy being rich ……”
”If it were you, you’d probably be broke and sent to jail in three days.”
Hugh glanced at her and said:
”I can enlist the help of a great butler, a professional lawyer and a competent business secretary.”
Without striking the other woman further, Forsyth turned and laughed:
”If it were me, I’d trade it all in for bank deposits, state bonds, and houses and stores, and rely on the annuity income they bring in to maintain a decent enough living.”
As soon as her words fell, she saw Hugh frown slightly and cast his eyes to the first floor position of the house.
”What’s the matter?” Forsyth’s spirit suddenly tightened.
Hugh concentrated on the experience for a few seconds and said:
”My inspiration tells me that an item or thing in black magic has appeared.”
”One of the great features of the Sheriff is the ability to scout and sense unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness when close enough.”
”Black magic?” Voorhees was considered a Senior Extraordinary and was no stranger to it.
Strictly speaking, anything that didn’t pass through the seven positive gods was black magic, including those ritual magics that prayed to hidden existences.
And in a general sense, black magic specifically refers to strange spells cast using blood, flesh, hair and all sorts of weird things, partly involving evil gods, partly stemming from their own extraordinary abilities, and partly relying on the spirituality of the materials themselves and the correct symbols and magical markings.
Hugh nodded solemnly:
”Yes, it’s on the first floor, I’m going to check it out, you stay here and protect Mr. Dantes.”
Forsyth was silent for two seconds and nodded without shivering at all:
”Good.”
When Hugh left the half-open room with the large balcony, she took out the “Lemanor’s Travel Notes” from the hidden pocket, ready to take action as soon as something went wrong.
On the other hand, Hugh’s figure was agile and his footsteps were quick as he descended to the first floor, and following his senses, he arrived outside one of the rooms.
After determining that the target was inside, Hugh was stunned for a moment, and her expression gradually turned sullen:
If she remembered correctly, this room should belong to Walter, the butler who hired her!
In that one moment, the black magic item or thing that had inspired her disappeared, and the room was calm, as if it had never been out of the ordinary.
Hugh hastily pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully to make sure that there was still the sound of human breathing present inside.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the butler, Walter, did not do anything, she returned to the third floor with a puzzled look on her face and recounted the discovery she had just made to her best friend, Forsyth, and ended with the words:
”Shall we pretend we know nothing about it, or shall we try to warn Mr. Dantes?”
Forsyth said thoughtfully:
”Perhaps Mr. Butler meant no harm?
”Observe again.”
After stating her attitude, she tsked and sighed:
”I have to say, Mr. Dawn Dantes is really a poor fellow, not only was he used to set up Baron Sindras, almost wrongfully imprisoned, and his reputation damaged, but he is also accompanied by a butler who has a research on black magic who doesn’t know his intentions and doesn’t know if it’s good or bad, ai, I hope that he doesn’t lose his life because of this, in this regard, he’s just a helpless ordinary person. ”
Hugh nodded approvingly:
”When these three days pass, if we still can’t confirm Mr. Steward’s intentions, then leave him a note as a reminder.”
……
The next morning, after breakfast, Klein with his usual expression glanced at the butler, Walter, and took his valet, Richardson, out the door and took a carriage to St. Samuel’s Church.
After listening to the sermon and saying his prayers, Klein made no donations and directly found Bishop Elektra.
”Can I help you?” This bishop, although he was under a lot of pressure due to the infiltration of the Charnis Gate, was still quite kind when facing the believers.
Klein smiled and said:
”I’ve recently experienced some things and realized my heart more and more.”
Not waiting for Bishop Elektra to ask, he said to himself down the line:
”I want to establish a bursary fund for the poor, and I hope to receive help from the Church.
”I will put the shares of the Cowiem Company that I have in hand into this fund, and use all the money it can get under contract to start the thing.”
Bishop Elektra nearly froze at that, for it was by no means a small sum.
Although there was no way for outsiders to know exactly how much Dawn Dantes had spent on the purchase of those 3% shares, they had all heard rumors accordingly, believing it to be over 10,000 gold pounds, and that the subsequent earnings would not be low!
And when the original Lady Mary was pursued by many men of status, her total assets were only a few tens of thousands of pounds.
Therefore, Dawn Dantes donating 10,000 or so thousand pounds at once definitely qualifies as a large sum of money, and the entire Black Night Church, in addition to the type designated in the will, in the single donation obtained, the number higher than this can be counted on one palm!
”This is an act worthy of any praise.” Bishop Elektra said heartily, “However, it is necessary for me to give you a word of caution not to do anything beyond your ability.”
Klein responded with a smile:
”For me, this is indeed not a small amount either, but it’s still bearable and won’t affect my life or business.”
Bishop Elektra’s smile gradually warmed up and nodded:
”The Goddess will surely watch over you.”
Hearing this blessing, Klein’s expression nearly froze.
Bishop Elektra continued:
”I will report back to His Excellency the Archbishop and strive to hold a charity dinner for this fund, and at that time, we will invite Goddess followers from all fields, including several great nobles and their families, to see if anyone else would like to participate.”
He was well aware that Dawn Dantes had been attempting to enter the upper class, so he deliberately named the great nobles.
